Ghost on the Shore

loved it

Honestly just a beautiful story

A walking simulator with a story attached. The end of the story does not make sense. Some how your character literally becomes a different person for no obvious reason. There's no explaination as to why this happens. It feels like poor story telling skills.

Beautiful environment, lovely music, interesting characters, and an intriguing mystery unfolding will keep you engaged through the end. However, if you want to see different outcomes (and obtain other achievements) this has to be played in its entirety multiple times, mostly due to dialogue choices. Discovering Josh's story and his relationships with the islanders is interesting stuff, but leaves questions-particularly about his prior "attachments". Despite a lot of character building, there are too many holes. Why now? Why Riley? What else can be said about the others? Were they all of the same "origin", but failed where Riley succeeded? Would Josh have found peace if any of them had been successful in their discoveries? Does any of it even matter? The answers may lie in the alternate endings, but having zero interest in Riley's personality I won't play it again.

It's a cool walking simulator type of game. The narrative is quite compelling and the pacing is good. However, the saving system is a bit odd and it sucks for achievement hunting, so I didn't even bothered.

This game is a cinematic masterpiece. There can be a few bugs, and there aren’t puzzles as such, but it is NEVER boring and it was so intriguing to learn about the world in the game. The voice acting is top tier, and the scenery is breathtaking. If you love story games, some good mysteries, or love to immerse yourself in characters, this is the perfect game for you. I even created a diagram in my notebook to keep track of the characters 😂
