Ghost Song Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
A solid Metroidvania with nice graphics and controls, but lacks some technical refinement.
A moody Metroidvania with enough Hollow Knight DNA to tide you over until Silksong, but its stilted protagonist and occasional lack of direction prevents this from being one of the all-time greats.
Ghost Song is the perfect mix of Metroid and Hollow Knight, creating a gorgeous-looking game full of exploration, a great story, and a creepy atmosphere. If you like Metroidvania-style games, make sure you check out this title!
Light on challenge but heavy on atmosphere and exploration, Ghost Song is a welcome addition to the library of any Metroid-like fan.
Everything about Ghost Song screams quality, and it shows that Matt White and crew put a lot of love into this game. As a big Metroidvania fan, I fell in love as soon as I started playing and couldn’t put my controller down until I beat the game twice. If I had anything negative to say, I would be that the game feels dated, especially after playing Metroid Dread.
Almost like an alternate universe cosplay, Ghost Song is a game that aims to appeal to your nostalgia for the old school Metroid series, while mixing in some additions from recent iterations of the genre they spawned. A few minor missteps don’t detract from an otherwise sensational package, which has a giant, charming and weirdly adorable heart.
Ghost Song is an enjoyable metroidvania with a gorgeous presentation that, with some tweaks, is a fantastic game to play on the Steam Deck.
With a ludicrous amount of Metroidvanias constantly releasing nowadays, let's see if Ghost Song has what it takes to stand out.
As far as genre mashups go, Metroidvanias and Souls-likes are often a match made in heaven. Ghost Song, one of the newest kids on the block, attempts just this blend. An atmospheric and melancholic journey through an obtuse narrative, your time on an alien planet will leave you questioning more than just your purpose there. Originally beginning development in 2013 before receiving over US $54,000 from a Kickstarter campaign, Ghost Song has come a long way from the game pitched on the crowdfun...
Soulslike metroidvania meets monotony.
