What Games Do You Hold in Highest Regard, Where a Ghost Is the Protagonist?

[Solivan The Soul]

Call of duty ghosts

This seems to drift beyond the realm of mere games…
Perhaps it honors those who played it to death, forsaking sleep, sustenance, and sanity.
Salutation to those devoted souls.

The Blackwell Legacy and the other games of the series are point-and-click adventures with pixelated graphics. It's a very good adventure game!

Arguably, Yume Nikki. But it's like a purgatory kind of experience rather than the ghost among people that you are describing.

And about angels, in Faust Seven Games of the Soul you are some sort of judge sent by God to find the truth about some events and save some souls from Mephistopheles.

Ah, an adventure game.
The main character may not be as ghostly, but the story is.
I will certainly check it. Gratefulness.

Interesting games, indeed.
We may be drifting in tangents, yet every path reveals something worth exploring.
I shall visit these realms. Many thanks.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Big Boss calls Venom Snake his phantom. (i.e. Ghost?)

Guardian Heroes originally on the Sega Saturn was a side scrolling beat'em up with RPG elements (possibly one of the best games on the system). You control 1 of 4 characters (plus more unlockable) but after the first level you find a Legendary Hero that joins you as a NPC and he is a powerhouse undead knight.

Unepic.
The main character gets possessed by a ghost, who tries to make him commit suicide, but fails and gets stuck in his body at the start of the game. It is 2d metroidvania and parody of the fantasy genre. Overall, very good game, mechanically speaking. Good variety of enemies and spells. Very creative bosses. Try it out, if you are not against some crude jokes and parodies in general.

Avenging Spirit Basically you play as a ghost that possess enemies to use their abilities, they can die but you stay safe, requiring to possess another body before your time runs out

if the concept of ghost stretchs to any undead, Medievil is my Spooky Month jam

Hollow Knight, well, the Knight is called ghost anyway

I second any mention of Ghost trick, feels like Avenging spirit's spiritual (Hehe) succesor

Indeed, stories being toyed with in the hands of fans seems to be destiny.
Might as well enjoy the playfulness.

Ah, a spectral mention... We have ascended from one meta to another meta here.
Indeed ghostly, though in wordy ways.
