Ghost Giant is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It delivers a beautiful world and a cute story that explores some serious problems anyone can suffer, therefore creating an experience that is both relaxing and emotional. A few control related problems, can't beat its charm. So if you are looking for an imaginative and intriguing, yet short VR experience, look no further. This is it and it is great.

At its heart, Ghost Giant is a story centered around mental health struggles and the necessity of seeking help from others. Unfortunately, the developers do little to explore the issues beyond using them as a pretext for the Giant to solve Louis’ external, superficial struggles, leaving little opportunity to bridge the emotional gap between Louis and I. Luckily, Ghost Giant has a beautiful world full of charm to help fill that gap.

A VR tale that’s both wonderfully light-hearted and solemnly mature, the modest Ghost Giant may not be the type of game to dwell on the why or how behind its supernatural premise, but with a game as well-crafted as this one, that’s more than okay.

Easily one of my favorite games on PSVR. We need more well polished VR games like this one. (Hint: play while standing, like a lot of other games the tracking of motion controller could become an issue when sitting).

This is an honest review. I would consider myself a pretty hardcore VR gamer and my style of games that I really enjoy are Ghost Giant types with good narrative. MOSS is one of my favorite VR games it's a masterpiece , and I was super excited about Ghost Giant and to be quite frank I really did not enjoy the game. The biggest issue being the controls. The game has really bad and flimsy controls. You spend most of the time trying to balance how bad it is to try and pick up items to interact with them. The game never really tells you what to do which is ok but you spend more time just randomly interacting with the environment until something initiates an sequence without really making sense. The game is also very short and the visuals did not impress. The controls and bad visuals were enough to break my experience with the game. It's also quite boring. The game is overpriced as well. There is so much better VR games out there, I would avoid this game.

To me it's a flawless game. Graphics, animation, music, story, eveything is beautiful and charming. No glitches. Every character is cute, and the voices are good too. When you play it, you can feel that the developers wanted to do a good work. It was very fun to play and to find every little details. This game is really well made. Thank you !

Ghost Giant ended up being a much more immersive story than I expected. VR or not, it tells a tale that many of us can relate to and is very touching. It focuses on a character with child-like innocence all while dealing with some pretty adult issues. It’s playful, charming, and touching. It won’t wow you with the VR experience if you’re used to that, but it does use the mechanics effectively and really engages you with the scenes unfolding below you.

Overall, Ghost Giant is not about great gameplay – the object-manipulation tasks are standard VR fare and only really serve to move the narrative forward. But oh, the narrative. The trials and tribulations of Louis and the rest of the denizens of little Sancourt will tug at your heartstrings and leave you thinking about them long after playing. Strap on your PSVR headset and definitely check Ghost Giant out, but be prepared to stop and wipe your eyes more than once.

Ghost Giant is easily one of the most accessible PSVR puzzle games available in 2019, despite the control issues I encountered during my playthrough. There is a deep story about mental health here, but its impact is certainly softened by the cartoony adventures of Louis and his oversized ghost friend.

A really enjoyable yet short puzzle-oriented adventure made exclusively for PSVR. One of the best-looking games out there available for this peripheral.

Ghost Giant suffers from a bit of an identity crisis, in that it can’t quite decide whether it wants to be an adorable, low-stakes exploration game or if it wants to be about capital-B big issues.

This game looks really nice with some interesting puzzles BUT i think the makes have forgotten that you must be 12+ years to play PSVR. I feel this game is aimed at 5 - 10 year olds and that’s pushing it.
