Pros
- YOU GET TO CREATE YOUR OWN GHOSTBUSTER!!!
- Gameplay is tight and responsive playing as either a Ghostbuster or ghost.
- So many unlockable items for not just your ‘busters appearance, but every part of your gear as well as the different types of ghosts and the colors that be set.
- Ghost designs are a unique blend between the animated series and the movies.
- The firehouse and Ray’s Occult are near-perfect recreations.
- Matches are quick and fun.
- Crossplay is smooth.
Cons
- Playing with random teammates can be frustrating when attempting to level up gear like your ghost trap.
- Story mode is quick and feels rushed and lacks the impact hyped up before launch.
- Bots feel dumbed down.
In Summary
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is such a fun game to play. Whether you are playing as a ghost or a ‘buster there is so much to do. Yes only having one mode can hurt the longevity of the game, but I have put over 15 hours into the game and have loved every minute of it. The biggest sign of this being a hit for me is that both of my sons LOVE this game too, and they aren’t even fans of the franchise (yes I am working on that). The level of customization is unreal, and yes playing with random people, especially when just starting out, is frustrating as you fight over who will get that elusive trap xp, but after a while, it just remains fun, and at the end of the day that’s what I want in a game, for it to be fun. I can’t wait to see what the roadmap is for the game, and at least for me I will continue to be zapping and trapping well into 2023 and beyond.
