Ghost Song Reviews
There have been frustrating boss fights, sure, but that was my experience with Hollow Knight too, and it's a similar feeling here. Finally beating these tough-as-nails bosses gives you a great feeling of accomplishment (and relief), although they're probably not for everybody. It's definitely worth a shot if you enjoy Metroid, Hollow Knight, or the Souls series.
Ghost Song isn't a bad experience, but one that shows glimmers of excellence without fully realizing it. With so many metroidvania titles on the market today and with more polished experiences, it's hard to recommend Ghost Song.

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!
Ghost Song does some things quite well but as a complete package, it remains a tedious and patience-testing experience. With so many Metroidvanias out there, it's probably a good idea to look elsewhere for some exploration-based action.
After a nearly decade-long journey, Ghost Song finally sees the light of day. The Old Moon project, led by Matt White, turns out to be a solid and charming metroidvania that aims to honor Super Metroid and Dark Souls. An inspired art direction supports a rather classic gameplay that competently combines and synthesizes the paradigms of the reference genres, not without some minor smears. A title in which ludics and narrative blend into a beautiful nostalgic song that everyone should have a chance to hear.

While Ghost Song has a certain beauty to it, and offers decent play, it just doesn’t make a lasting impression
On paper, Ghost Song is a fun metroidvania that enchants with its spatial narrative, its pleasurable moments of exploration and its incredible ability to form alien ambiences. However, it is necessary to mention that, at least on Switch, facing such challenges also means having to deal with possible drops in fps and frustrating moments of input lag. These flaws don't make Deadsuit's journey any less fun, but unfortunately they make it a little more unpleasant when faced on Nintendo's console.

My personal experience with Ghost Song was something greater than the sum of the parts and the numerical balance. It's a great metroidvania in the exploration, in the atmosphere and in the surprise of the human warmth behind each encounter, making it a poetic and memorable title within one of my favorite genres. I will certainly play it again in the future.
