With a download size of 509.1MB, it’s relatively light and accessible. The game offers both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions, which is a nice touch.

The gameplay revolves around a boy who must collect keys and reach the exit. If the boy dies, he becomes a ghost and can fly around until he hits a gravestone to resurrect. This mechanic adds an interesting layer to the gameplay. However, as a ghost, you cannot pick up keys, which adds a strategic element to the game. The game features 50 levels to unlock and play, each with a slight puzzle element to them. The level design is commendable and the instant loading times and respawn timer enhance the gaming experience.

The game also incorporates physics, adding another dimension to the gameplay. The trophy list is easy to achieve, with a Platinum trophy available even without finishing all the levels. This makes the game relatively easy and perfect for those times when you want a game that doesn’t require too much brain power.

However, the game does have its downsides. It doesn’t provide clear instructions on the controls or mechanics, leaving players to figure it out themselves. The inability to remap controls and the lack of game options can be frustrating for some players. The game also has little replay value and the levels can feel sparse at times, lowering the difficulty bar. Additionally, the absence of online leaderboards or scoring might be a letdown for competitive players.

In summary, Ghost Teen Escape From Limbo is a unique platformer game with an interesting mechanic and decent graphics. While it has its downsides, such as the lack of clear instructions and game options, its easy trophy list and the strategic element of gameplay make it a game worth trying. It’s a game that scratches an itch without requiring too much brain power, making it a good choice for casual gaming sessions. However, its replay value might be limited due to the sparse levels and the lack of competitive elements like online leaderboards.

Overall, it’s a game that offers a unique experience with its blend of platforming and puzzle elements.
