I've recently been thinking about Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective a lot.
I love that game to bits, and it's probably my 2nd favourite game of all time and I've just noticed that I've gotten 5 people into the game over the past 2 years.
One of them was a friend I told to play the game when I met him at uni back in 2015. Which is funny because he didn't like me at first, and then I acted superior in my taste in gaming around him, so soon enough when I asked if he had played Ghost Trick, he said no in an annoyed voice and so I offered the game to him and that was what made him change his opinion on me.
Another was a friend I had just started to live with last year. He took a liking to Shenmue and from there I told him that he should play Ghost Trick. He made fun of it at first but then absolutely loved it by the end. Telling me it was "fantastic".
The same year from telling people about Ghost Trick, another friend who had heard about the game and knew the spoilers eventually played it and loved it as well, even with the spoilers.
This year was even better, two new freshers came to our societies and we befriended them quickly. I asked if one of them had played Ghost Trick and when he said no I showed him the trailer and asked him to play it. Soon enough he comes back to me a week later telling me it was fantastic and bought his own copy of the game.
To add ONTO this, while we were discussing the game the OTHER person started asking what game we're talking about and told him to also play Ghost Trick, and he was reluctant at first but soon after we convinced him to play it, he did. And he came back to us saying the game was amazing and he couldn't put it down due to how good it was.
Honestly, Ghost Trick may be the only game I'd consider perfect just because it seems as if 99% of players love the game, and only 1% hate it outright, and honestly I've never seen people openly hate the game so who knows.
Still, this post is more to say if you haven't played Ghost Trick yet, play it right the fuck now. I played it back when it came out in 2011, and it still holds up.
