Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Reviews
Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition is a surprisingly fun asymmetrical multiplayer game. The cartoony visuals, great performance, original story and completely offline playable mode make for a fun time with mates or by yourself. It’s one of the few asymmetrical MP games that I can see myself returning to regularly.
Fans of busting ghosts or who may even enjoy doing some haunting online should find this to be quite engaging
If you’re a fan of the Ghostbusters franchise or you like this style of gameplay similar to Phasmophobia, Dead By Daylight, or Friday the 13th: The Game, then Spirits Unleashed will be the game for you.
While not quite the best game in the franchise, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed - Ecto Edition douses its thoroughly serviceable online 4v1 gameplay in positively charged psychomagnotheric nostalgia slime. From small touches in the visuals to snippets of dialogue, the detail and care that has gone into recreating the Ghostbusters' world here made us forgive the occasional visual glitch and basic, predictable plot. If 'busting makes you feel good, you'll have a great time.
the game is a lot of fun and addictive for fans of Ghostbusters. It really is a ton of fun regardless if you play solo or with friends, This is the definitive Ghostbuster game and the only one you need.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed may not be perfect, but as a Ghostbusters fan, I'm really enjoying it. If you're not a fan of the franchise, there are better multiplayer options out there, but for the Ghostbusters faithful, it's a blast.
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.
The game is fun to play but does have graphics that are on the dated side but that is quickly overlooked during the fun as taking down the ghosts is always a fun experience. The biggest issue that I had was a lack of maps as after a few hours of play the game does seem a bit redundant and my upgrades really did not impact my gameplay greatly. The storyline seemed short and ended rather abruptly so hopefully more will be coming in a future update.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed hits almost all the right notes to bring the heart of the franchise to our screens. This is the fantasy of so many kids brought to life, and in a way that really feels like it does the movies and the spirit (no pun intended, this time!) of the franchise justice. From gorgeous graphics to engaging asymmetrical gameplay and hitting those notes of nostalgia that appeal to older players who grew up with the original movies, this game does it right. In the end, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has some great ideas for the asymmetric multiplayer genre, but the sides aren't equally fun to play.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed offers a fantastic online experience that lends itself exceptionally well to the comedy horror franchise.
Bustin' will not make you feel good in this shallow and repetitive asymmetric multiplayer, that is one of the worst of the recent crop of 80s movie homages.
With a little love and attention to current bugs and a roadmap for future content (I will absolutely shell out the bucks for a Vigo the Carpathian or Samhain DLC, should that happen), Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed could be a crowd-pleaser for a long time. As it stands right now, it's got enough Halloween spirit to carry you through the spooky season.
While Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed isn't a full priced, AAA style release, it's still a solid ghostbusting experience overall.
Beyond several connection issues, the game really delivers what it promises and remains an entertaining experience to play with friends.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has potential, but game balance, a lack of content and some uninspired gameplay makes me want to come back to it after a few updates. Busting ain’t making me so feel good right now.
Bustin' makes us feel good, but not for as long as we'd hoped.
he word annoying sums up my experience with Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Everything from spawning issues, constant cooldowns, lack of clear strategies, and unbalanced matchmaking soured my experience. There are some bright spots though.
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.
