Its a cool game with a lot of character. Platforming, shooting, it all feels good. The weapons are also interesting and unique. You can play it as punishing as you want, or just enjoy yourself. There are a few points of note: While the game is open ended on how you upgrade and play, there is certainly a "correct" way to stack your upgrades and weapons, and you are punished in the final level if you don't. I had to go back and grind to unlock a few upgrades on certain utility "weapons". Dev, if you read this, man, go back and make another go of it. Hell, do a simple "remastered" DLC. We'd pay. Even something like a mini campaign after the first one, an homage to Ghost in the shell or Venus wars. The masses are hungry, we need content! even if you never touch this one again, thanks for the fun times, and good job.

Ghost 1.0 is one of those games that slips under the radar, but really shouldn’t. It looks simple at first, but once you start playing, the tight controls, clever level design, and satisfying progression pull you in. Combat feels good, movement is responsive, and upgrades actually matter — you feel yourself improving without the game turning into a button-mashing power fantasy. What I appreciated most is how confident the game feels. It doesn’t overexplain, it doesn’t chase trends, and it doesn’t waste your time. Exploration is rewarding, the humor lands surprisingly well, and the soundtrack quietly supports the atmosphere instead of trying to steal the spotlight. This isn’t a flashy AAA title, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s a well-made, focused experience with personality — the kind of game you buy on sale and end up wondering why more people aren’t talking about it. If you enjoy solid gameplay, meaningful upgrades, and games with soul, Ghost 1.0 is absolutely worth your time.

Enjoyed it quite a bit, but probably a somewhat niche title. Definitely more of a sale candidate if you are not in dire need of a half-serious cyberpunk metroidvania. Ghost 1.0 straddles a strange line, it wants to be something of a twinstick shooter, a metroidvania, a serious cyberpunk story, a tongue-in-check cyberpunk story and nostalgic all at the same time while also attempting to innovate here and there. Does not quite work out, honestly. The gameplay is solid, but also janky at times. When I recently got back into it and tried my hand at some of the extra challenges, I noticed this somewhat severely, as the regular storymode is comparatively forgiving there with all the upgrades to make your life easier. But then again, getting those can be an outright chore, as every room has a “hidden” loot that can be unlocked in the wildest ways. Shooting a specific spot, floating somewhere in ghost form, use a lift 3 times, kill enemies in less than 5 seconds, kill all enemies EXCEPT one specific type, kill ONLY a specific type… the list goes on. It often feels random and very much “just use a guide”. What I mean to say is, the gameplay is mostly solid, very much what you would expect, but it is also trying very hard to make you find secrets in very unintuitive ways that often feel like this has to be in it because of the genre and to keep you busy, rather than engaging you with intricately interconnected map design, secret passages and such. This is fine, considering that the setting is a space station which only allows so much variety, of which there is ultimately quite a lot. Bottom line is, I did not find this groundbreakingly awesome, but sufficiently enjoyable most of the time. What I will say is that I rather like the idea of the “ghost” that can possess most of the robots that populate the space station. In this sense we can get lots of variety, for instance by playing as the combat droid for a spell. But let us proceed to what actually drew me in. In a trailer, we see an early section wherein Ghost explodes a robot, is called out for what the hell this was supposed to be and gleefully goes “Stealth!”. That kind of blatant, unapologetic cringey humor felt just lighthearted enough for me to interest me. And oh boy, did the game deliver on this front. It is rather interesting, for as the plot progresses, we see lots of tongue-in-cheek humor and eye rolling, only missing a laugh track. We get traditional tropes… but we also get very different tones when it comes to them. The trio is developed somewhat thoroughly and actually interesting and relevant questions of the cyberpunk genre ala Ghost in the Shell come up, alongside the tropey mentioning of “ Blade Runner rules” or whatever. We are told stories by and of other characters only for another to interject and correct that no, this was not an epic adventure, it was just D&D night. This game is nerdy as hell and just runs with it. And I gotta say, I rather enjoy it for what it is here. It does not take itself too seriously, since it is after all a kind of silly shootey game, complete with the somewhat deliberately cringe voice acting and an episodic format where you are told “Last time on Ghost 1.0 . . . and now the conclusion!” whenever you reload, as if watching an endlessly ongoing TV show. Yet the writers showed themselves adept enough to keep from falling into the super ironic self-awareness trap and make it into one big laughing track. Again, while not groundbreaking or genre defining, I rather enjoyed it for what it is and how deliberately it celebrates a lot of 80s and 90s geek culture whenever it is not asking somewhat profound questions. Definitely a solid, fun cyberpunk experience for me. If a bit janky, but maybe that is just part of the deal.

It took me awhile to get into this game, but once I did, I really enjoyed it. The music, graphics, combat, exploration, plot, characters, voice acting, animations, everything, are all really nice. I didn't like how obscure many of the "hidden souls" were, especially since so many of them are necessary for upgrading your character, but it's not so bad if you use a guide. The game has a lot of variable difficulty options which can make it much more or less challenging. One important thing to note is that the amount of skill points available in one playthrough (I assume you can get more on NG+) are limited, you will not be able to purchase all upgrades so it's important to prioritize the ones you want most.

Another great metroidvania-style game from unepic_fran. And the ending, as usual, is really cool. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
