Ghost of a Tale

Weather its bugs and lacklustre stealth, and Ghost of a Tale is a quietly ravishing potted epic with a serious subtext.

It could be a lot better, but I really enjoy playing what it is.

Ghost of a Tale is a gorgeous, fun adventure that can occasionally be bogged down by frustrating and repetitive mechanics and it's come a long way since entering Early Access in 2016. It doesn't quite fill the stealth game hole that Thief left me with, but I hope we haven't seen the last of Tilo.

Ghost of a Tale is one of the most unique action role-playing games released in recent times. Its highlights are the charming story and characters as well as the stealth-focused gameplay. Sadly, some technical issues do get in the way on PlayStation 4, preventing the game from reaching its full potential. However, if you're looking for a game that can make you think, look no further, as Ghost of a Tale tackles a handful of very important issues in a mature and very thoughtful way.

Ghost of a Tale has given us the emotion of feeling comfortably lost: there you are, facing a hostile world and not really knowing where to go or what to do. And yet, against all odds, we enjoy ourselves like a child.

Ghost of a tale gives us a nostalgic game, beautiful to watch, but that shows us the raw struggle of our protagonist to save his beloved and escape from the enemies that pursue us. Full of details, nooks and crannies to slide through and a labyrinthine mapping, we have a game for a while if we get carried away by all the secondary missions that they pose us.

Ghost of a Tale is and does a lot of things, some impressive but not all of them great triumphs.

Upon first glance, it could be easy to mistake Ghost of a Tale as a mid-level developed game from a small company. It isn’t until the closing moments of the game where SeithCG’s limitations reveal themselves. It may not be best played on Nintendo Switch, but Ghost of a Tale is definitely worth a look on other platforms.

Ghost of a Tale has charming characters, lore, and brilliant storytelling. All together they provide an immersive world for the player to get lost in. While it does have a few little hiccups with the graphics, it is not enough to spoil the gameplay. Ghost of a Tale is a lovely game with a meaningful story. With a great cast of characters, a game all enthusiasts of adventure, role-playing genres should try. I challenge you to not fall in love with Tilo. It is a challenge I would say is impossible as Tilo is so cute!!

Ghost of a Tale is an adventure of epic proportions that despite the development difficulties and the small budget, stands out, exactly like its small protagonist, with courage towards the challenges and the impossible.
