I would be really interested to try Ghost Stories if it was accidentally at some board game cafe or something that I stumbled on. If it's true that Last Bastion toned down the difficulty just a tad, I can see how GS could end up feeling more like stressful work than LB does. I do think that's true of the majority of co-op games, though. Their gameplay loops and strategies are just inherently more reactive than competitive games.
