Best VR Games of 2019
First Runner-Up: Ghost Giant
Cute platformers and adventure games have been some of PSVR’s highlights. The likes of Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Moss both combine beautifully designed worlds with bundles of personality and the ability to interact with the adorable starring character.
Ghost Giant does those same things, with a few tweaks in both gameplay and story telling.
The gameplay, while featuring some interesting puzzles, takes a bit of a back seat, with your relationship with Louis and his personality being the focus.
The story is tight, with you being led through various settings by Louis, and it is thoroughly heartwarming. Your new best friend may be a young boy, but Ghost Giant deals with some more adult themes, such as mental health, and it does so in a sensitive and genuine way.
Its writing is great, the way you can interact with Louis through scares and high-fives is unique, and the world is a joy to spend time in.
That connection, when combined with a story that’s easy to relate to, makes Ghost Giant one of PSVR’s best and a standout even among the other adventure game greats on the platform.
