Ghost Giant
In Ghost Giant, you are the protector of the lonely little boy Louis. Invisible to everyone but him you can explore his world and help him and the citizens of Sancourt. It’s a heartfelt puzzle story in VR, from the studio behind Fe and Flipping Death, about trying to keep life together with a little help from a very big friend.
Ghost Giant circles around young Louis. He’s living on a sunflower farm together with his mother. When this story starts, he’s incredibly lonely. That is until he meets you — the Ghost Giant. A giant friend that only he can see, and who might be able to help him out of the tough spot he’s in. Peek into the windows, open doors and find hidden secrets all around town. Sancourt is full of discoveries for you to make, and people for you to meet. Explore the harbor, Louis’ sunflower farm and the local junkyard to solve puzzles and help Louis and his neighbors with their tasks — big and small.
Ghost Giant Review
If we were to hand out awards for adorability at the end of this year, Zoink! Games’ latest would already have the entire competition beat four months in. Ghost Giant has to be one of the most charming and lovable experiences we’ve had this generation, and to witness its beauty through PlayStation VR is quite a sight to behold. Packed with charm, delight, and truly heart-warming moments, it’s a journey unlike any other. Louis’ journey is one of emotion. You’ll smile and laugh together, offer comfort when times get tough, and be the friend he needs as his relationship with his best buddy goes through a rocky period. There’s no grand twist to uncover, rather a moving, genuine, and thoughtful quest to bring joy back into the life of Louis’ sick mother.
Using the required PlayStation Move controllers to control each of the Ghost Giant’s ectoplasmic hands, you stand (or sit) and survey each level while Louis goes and talks to people, then solves problems for himself or others. Watching the world (or playing with it) is a series of simple pleasures. All the details in each level, from the intricacies in people’s homes to little bits of dialogue from townspeople are captivating in their own ways. My favorite minor character is the covetous crow, who is obsessed with shiny objects. In one level you find his home, where he’s planning how to rob a pearl from a clam. When Louis needs you to help — and he frequently does — you can be asked to find lost keepsakes, open doors, move heavy objects, or other basic things.
Those tasks, which I would describe as “puzzles” in the broadest sense, are relatively simple, bordering on tedious. While there are a few clever moments, like finding sources of color to mix paints for a story-mandated work of art, much of it comes down to identifying movable objects and putting them in the right places.
Ghost Giant belongs in the conversation for the very best PSVR game. Its utterly phenomenal series of scenes will live long in the memory, complemented by a narrative that demands immediate investment. Louis is a wonderful companion, too – a relatable character who you’ll quickly learn to care for. Outstanding presentation that rewards exploration is the cherry on top of a title we won’t be forgetting about any time soon. If you own one of Sony’s headsets, you absolutely cannot miss out on this special experience.
