    An easy game to recommend for fans of Ghostbusters that are looking for a chill ghostbusting experience, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is less likely to appeal to single players; the fun dries up pretty quickly as repetition kicks in.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a fun FPS that can be enjoyed solo or with up to 4 others. Hunt ghosts as you level up and explore a range of levels. Alternatively, scare the living daylights out of everyone as you haunt each stage.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is one of those games that best pays homage to the movies. Being on one side or the other will be just as fun, albeit with certain drawbacks. However, it falls short in gameplay and content. It will catch our attention a couple of times and that's it.

    Beyond several connection issues, the game really delivers what it promises and remains an entertaining experience to play with friends.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is an asymmetric multiplayer game that may not fit everyone, since it is very different from others that are already on the market that are much more polished than this one. In the case of deciding to buy it, you will not make a bad purchase, but you have to keep in mind that the game can become repetitive after a few games, that is why I recommend it only to those true fans of the Ghostbusters franchise.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has some great ideas for the asymmetric multiplayer genre, but the sides aren’t equally fun to play.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is an asymmetrical multiplayer game that’s mostly enjoyable, but badly needs more content.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed's love for the source material shines through, but its good ideas are hindered by a lack of content and repetitive gameplay.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed clearly convinced us. There are few asymmetrical games where being in one or the other team leaves us so untroubled, as they are both enjoyable to play. Everything that makes the saga a myth is present, diving us totally into the experience to the point where it becomes difficult to stop as the games follow each other with ease. The absence of paid content is a real good surprise in 2022 and the pleasure of modifying one's equipment or ghost between games pushes us to quickly return to the hunt in order to experiment with new strategies. The games are fast but intense and if we strongly advise you to assemble a solid team in order to take full advantage of it, playing alone is still quite possible thanks to the tools at our disposal. A very good point for the ghostbusters license. Let's hope that the updates will be as good as the launch.

The game is a lot of fun, and it's def worth a pick up. I really think with more content (most of all maps, but also ghosts and equipment mods) and better balancing this could become a 10/10. Worth the 40$? You may get 10-20 hrs of fun before youre bored so perhaps. Pick it up on sale imo though, sales aren't hard to come by.… Full Review »
