Histoire (IGDB)
In the world of The Outbound Ghost, ghosts are the embodiment of regret. Most people go to the afterlife after dying, yet those who were unhappy with their previous lives become ghosts and are forced to haunt the Earth until they right their wrongs. Of course, this is not always possible since doing this as a ghost is orders of magnitude harder than when you are a human. However, some manage to do this and are able to spend the rest of their deaths in the afterlife. In The Outbound Ghost, your task is to help others fix or come to terms with their past lives so that they can enjoy the pleasures of eternal bliss. You must achieve that for yourself too, but it's not so easy to mend the mistakes of your past life when you don't even remember them.

« Tragically, The Outbound Ghost is not a flawless game. There are notable load times throughout, and frames can drop pretty heavily when entering or exiting areas and battles. Along with the load times, there are occasional difficulty spikes as you explore Outbound where a wandering MOB will do a devastating amount of damage or fight with surprising intellect, causing players to need awareness of their strategies even in field battles that aren't bosses. However, The Outbound Ghost is a game that does its best to capture the charming artistic style of Paper Mario, telling a surprisingly compelling tale of regrets and having very fun combat along the way that lends itself to a lot of replayability to try out new strategies or challenge yourself as a player! This reviewer certainly plans on spending a lot of time in Outbound, and recommends that any RPG lovers give this one a look! »
« The Outbound Ghost is a great turn-based RPG with fun characters and a heartfelt story. The unique game mechanics make the battles challenging and enjoyable as you progress through the story. »
« Despite my issues with the game, The Outbound Ghost is still the best Paper Mario styled game I’ve played in many years. It easily offers a dozen hours of gameplay, and that’s just if you play the main story. For those that like to wander, there’s plenty of hidden secrets to unearth, as well as randomizer effects to mix up your experience. While the game wasn’t as tight or well organized as I would have liked, it’s still a solid turn-based RPG that fans should enjoy. »
« I wish I liked The Outbound Ghost more than I do, but I am glad games like it exist. There will always be genres and ideas that big publishers and developers don’t see as viable, and the indie space is a perfect place to explore them. I don’t recommend The Outbound Ghost at this time, but I hope the developers continue to improve it with patches and continue to make games in genres they care about. While there is a lot of promise here, The Outbound Ghost just doesn’t reach its potential. »
« The Outbound Ghost looks and sounds wonderful, but that’s about all there is to enjoy here. Exploration and combat are both incredibly tedious, and the story meanders for about six hours until it ends with nothing resolved. I want to like this game, but it feels like it lacks any sort of central vision. »
« I really wanted to like The Outbound Ghost. Usually, even with disappointing games, I find one feature or facet to rally behind even if the whole package is ultimately underwhelming. However, in this case I struggle to find a single thing to highlight. The Outbound Ghost is a pale imitation that I don't recommend playing. »

« The Outbound Ghost is a very charming game in the style of Paper Mario or the Cat Quest games, sadly the developer has had 2 years of legal wrangling with the original publisher which has undoubtedly tarnished the at a glance reputation of the game undeservedly and certainly impacted the polish the game has received to a highly detrimental degree. The game is 2.5D with what would be lovely HD settings and characters but on Switch the level of optimisation and QC is embarrassingly bad. A game like this should be playing at a flawless 720p/1080p handheld/docked but it doesn't even come close. Docked I'd be surprised if it's 360p, jaggies are all over the place, text is difficult to read both docked and in handheld due to a combination of extraordinarily poor render quality and text size and there is pop-in all over the place. Gameplay is simple but requires good timing while the crafting system has some nice abilities you can obtain. The story is also very well done with great character interaction. With the latest patch released for the game issues such as long loading times on Switch are also not a problem anymore, but the aforementioned problems still give serious pause before considering any recommendation. If it wasn't for the love clearly put into this game despite it's flaws my score would easily be a 4 but the charm and love put into the game makes it difficult to put down putting the game between a rock and a hard place. If the game has another patch fixing the visuals its a pretty firm recommendation to anyone that enjoys Paper Mario or the Cat Quest games but as things stand avoid this game on Switch unless it's practically being given away. Even the £10 I paid for a physical copy is just too much for the state it's currently in. »
« The Outbound ghost is a Cute indie RPG that feels very much like paper Mario but unique, and with oh so cute art design! The game doesn’t only nail the art department but also nails the sound engineering too! I still have way more to play and cannot wait to see what the developers add to the future road map. »
