Professional reviews from gaming critics
The Outbound Ghost is a great turn-based RPG with fun characters and a heartfelt story. The unique game mechanics make the battles challenging and enjoyable as you progress through the story.
The Outbound Ghost is a wonderful game , but it has too many small issues that compound into a less than stellar experience on the Steam Deck.
There’s something incredibly appealing about adorable RPGs. Nintendo certainly managed to capitalize on this concept, with the Paper Mario games becoming huge global hits, particularly the first two in the series.

The Outbound Ghost looks and sounds wonderful, but that’s about all there is to enjoy here. Exploration and combat are both incredibly tedious, and the story meanders for about six hours until it ends with nothing resolved. I want to like this game, but it feels like it lacks any sort of central vision.
The Outbound Ghost is a bland and confusing game that is as boring as it is pretty.
