- Even though the online is great fun with real players, I have encountered a few disconnects, which can be frustrating. The story isn't very long, but unlocking everything else will lengthen your time with the game, so there's plenty of potential to add further content in the future.
Leigh Wynne · Nov 01, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - 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.
Trent Cannon · Oct 24, 2023 Reviewed on - As a game, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is far from perfect. There are only five maps to play on, there are random bugs that needs resolving, and the limited friend system can make it frustrating to connect with players on another platform. Despite all of this, the core gameplay loop is undeniably fun, whether you're playing on a team of Ghostbusters or going solo as a ghost.
Adam Pavlacka · Jan 10, 2023 Reviewed on PC, Series X|SRead full review - 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.
gareth · Nov 26, 2022 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|S, PS4, XB1Read full review - Ghostbusters end up spending the majority of the match calming panicking civilians, collecting mold and mushrooms for XP, and destroying spectral rifts. Ghosts roam around trying to panic as many civilians as possible, while simultaneously managing their limited stamina. This creates a stop-go-stop-go metagame, where everyone ends up doing anything but what was actually shown in the Ghostbusters films: Hunting ghosts, with the ghost trying to escape and/or incapacitate the Ghostbusters. As a formula, it can be fun enough, but it never fully feels like Ghostbusters
Dan Lenois · Oct 27, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is an entertaining asymmetrical multiplayer game that’s held back by some probably-fixable balance issues and map wonkiness, but it badly needs more content to keep my interest.
Travis Northup · Oct 26, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - The game's shelf life is incredibly short, as the gameplay loop quickly becomes repetitive and stale. There are wonderful elements here--deep customization being a key one--but none of it feels impactful when the core gameplay so quickly stagnates. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed may make me into a Ghostbuster, but the job has a disappointingly small shelf life.
Jason Fanelli · Oct 26, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed isn’t a bad game; every cast member, sound effect, and visual reference communicates its love for the source material, but it’s ultimately not that engaging to play solo, and the novelty wears off quickly even with a group.
Will Borger · Oct 25, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - As it stands, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a great idea for an asymmetrical multiplayer experience, a potentially fun co-op time with friends, hampered by questionable design choices and a severe lack of content. You’ll see everything the game has to offer in an hour or so.
Leo Faria · Oct 24, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Ghostbusters by name, Ghostbusters by nature. Spirits Unleashed is true to its iconic roots, and everything from the brand translates smoothly into a frantic asymmetric experience, albeit a bit too complicated for its own good.
