Ghost 1.0 Collector's Edition

From the creators of Unepic comes a metroidvania with one of the most clever identity twists in the genre. The Ghost 1.0 Collector's Edition on PlayStation 4 puts you in control of a mysterious agent hired by two hackers to infiltrate the Nakamura Space Station, but the real hook is that your protagonist isn't the android body you see on screen. You're the ghost remotely piloting it. That distinction changes everything about how you approach over 300 rooms of exploration, combat, and secret hunting.

This is a game that rewards the obsessive among us. Hundreds of hidden secrets, RPG-style skill trees, unlimited ammo with a varied arsenal of weapons, and items that function like high-tech potions and scrolls. Classic and survival modes offer two fundamentally different ways to play, and the full voice acting in English, Spanish, or Russian gives the story real weight. The humor and cinematics keep things moving even when you're deep into backtracking territory.

Physical PS4 releases of mid-tier metroidvanias with this much depth are exactly the kind of thing that becomes impossible to find a few years down the road. The Ghost 1.0 Collector's Edition is a shelf piece that quietly appreciates while you're busy replaying it.
