GameSkinnyJoshua BroadwellNov 20176/10 starsRigid Core's first game contains a solid central mechanic and some well-designed puzzles, but suffers from lackluster implementation and repetition.

GameGrinBilly ClarkeFeb 20186/10Ghostory offers some really challenging and thought-provoking puzzles based around a unique and genuinely enjoyable core mechanic. Beyond the gameplay there isn't much else on offer here and the infrequent save points can create real frustration.

Cubed3OfisilMay 20195/10Deceptively simple in its concept, Ghostory's form-swapping mechanic provides all this needs to be a neat and challenging puzzle-platformer - and one that happens to provide some pleasantly ghos... ghastly puns. Unfortunately, the fun dissolves due to the subpar level design, which makes this 25+ level adventure feel the same from beginning to end.
