Ghost Giant is a wonderfully charming game that made me choke up once or twice. If you haven't had the game spoiled for you, I genuinely think that you should buy it, even despite its length.
This PSVR game is a hidden gem! The story is surprisingly emotional, and the VR interactions are really clever. It's short but sweet.
