Critic Reviews
- The frustration is only further compounded by the basic map design. You'll spend the entirety of the game in a single dungeon, and even with several of the late-game traversal options unlocked your options for exploration remain disappointingly linear.
Dashiell Wood · Nov 09, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - I found myself blowing through Ghost Song with the enthusiasm I normally reserve for new Shantae games. There have been frustrating boss fights, sure, but that was my experience with Hollow Knight too, and it’s a similar feeling here.
Zachary Miller · Nov 08, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The world you will explore is equal parts beautiful and terrifying. Ambient sounds, vivid colors, enemies that can blend into the environment, strange and gorgeous lifeforms tucked deep into the earth. The vast majority of the story is told to you simply by paying attention to context clues in various places. The rest is told via communicating with the survivors of the crash and the random sentient life you find on your adventure.
Wade Hilton · Nov 07, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ghost Song is a game that wears its inspirations on its sleeve with pride, and although it may feel a bit derivative at times, it is still able to create its own identity through a great combat system and unique worldbuilding. While the game can be brutally difficult, “explorer” mode makes the game more accessible than it would otherwise.
Brett Posner-Ferdman · Nov 06, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Ghost Song blends common gaming elements with strange surprises, and the end result is certainly more than the sum of its parts.
Patrick Gann · Nov 02, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ghost Song is a 2D graphical Metroidvania about a revived mechanical suit exploring a haunting alien world to help a crashed crew. The controls work well for combat and navigation, in an environmental setup that gets more enjoyable as you get more powerful.
Will Quick · Nov 01, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ghost Song doesn’t try to reinvent the Metroidvania genre, but neither does it clutter it up with extra mechanics for the sake of complexity. It’s approachable but challenging. What it lacks in originality is made up for by attractive art, good level design and overall, addictive fun.
Mark Steighner · Oct 31, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Despite the general lack of challenge, many of the items you find greatly increase your combat potential. It’s a shame that there isn’t really anything you’d need to use these things on.
Andrew Farrell · Oct 31, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Overall, Ghost Song is a very enjoyable addition to the Metroidvania subgenre. It maybe lacks a little bit of originality to help it stand out from its contemporaries in a rather crowded market, but the game does provide a very enjoyable experience. With an atmosphere and story that are haunting and interesting to explore, there are plenty of reasons to delve into the dangerous world of Ghost Song.
Rob Gordon · Oct 31, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ghost Song is a masterfully crafted game, which combines all the best elements of Metroid and Souls games to create an experience that simply must be played. There are emotional moments with the characters that genuinely brought tears to my eyes, terrifying monsters that made me want to stop playing, and boss fights that pushed me to my limits.
