  Ghost of a Tale is one of the most unique action role-playing games released in recent times. Its highlights are the charming story and characters as well as the stealth-focused gameplay. Sadly, some technical issues do get in the way on PlayStation 4, preventing the game from reaching its full potential. However, if you're looking for a game that can make you think, look no further, as Ghost of a Tale tackles a handful of very important issues in a mature and very thoughtful way.

  Ghost of a Tale is a pretty decent stealth game overall and an even more impressive achievement in game developing, especially considering it was basically created by one single person with little previous experience in gaming. Sadly, it is riddled with some glaring issues such as its framerate and near nonexistent sound design, but its adorable art style, coupled with the fact there aren’t many proper stealth games out there (the faster we forget about Thief, the better), are more than enough for me to recommend the game.

  While the guards in the commissary will be alarmed when a pirate walks in, most of them will be happy to see a fellow guard. Hell, by the end of the game, they would all greet me by name when I wore my Redpaw armor. Ghost of a Tale is a gorgeous, fun adventure that can occasionally be bogged down by frustrating and repetitive mechanics and it's come a long way since entering Early Access in 2016. It doesn't quite fill the stealth game hole that Thief left me with, but I hope we haven't seen the last of Tilo.

  Developed by a hugely talented team of just five people, the end product in Ghost of a Tale is nothing less than an astounding feat. I am totally in love with Tilo, the world he and his numerous friends inhabit and his quest for his beloved Meera and I think, if you let him scurry his way into your life, you will be too.

  Ghost of a Tale es un juego especial. Una obra muy personal con un increíble diseño de niveles y artístico que te sumerge perfectamente en el mundo que propone. Tiene algunos fallos técnicos y podría ser más redondo en los compases finales, pero su propuesta es tan original y bien llevada que deja maravillado a cualquier jugador que se acerque a él sabiendo lo que está buscando. Un juego lleno de magia y encanto, que huye como su propio ratón protagonista de la acción rápida, para centrarse expresamente y profundamente en la exploración.

  8.0

  Ghost of a Tale es una aventura muy recomendable y con mucha personalidad que sabe meternos de lleno en un mundo mágico sin más armas que nuestra astucia, nuestro sentido de la orientación y nuestro fiel laúd. Explorar sus elaborados e intricados escenarios es una experiencia única y muy satisfactoria que solo se ve empañada por unas mecánicas de sigilo muy pobres, pero que no consiguen echar por tierra el buen hacer general de sus creadores. Sin duda, una compra muy apetecible para todos aquellos que busquen algo diferente y de calidad.
