Ghostbusters
Jul 12, 2016 10 years ago
Ghostbusters, is a third-person action role-playing game positively charged for thrilling couch co-op with up to four players locally. As rookie Ghostbusters, players can level up their characters’ gear and abilities by tackling objectives, defeating ghastly creatures and discovering hidden collectibles in Manhattan’s most haunted haunts. There are four heroes to choose from, and each has his or her own unique personality and play style, bringing special strengths to support the team.
What it’s like
This title serves as a canonical, comedic follow-up to the original films, featuring the full voice cast and likenesses of the iconic crew. The experience is defined by its lighthearted tone and faithful recreation of the movie’s supernatural aesthetic, enhanced significantly by the remaster’s visual upgrades. Gameplay revolves around cooperative proton-pack combat, where players coordinate to trap ghosts in Manhattan’s haunted locations. While the narrative leverages strong character dynamics and witty dialogue to engage fans, the mechanical depth remains shallow. The structure is linear with minimal build variety, focusing instead on accessible, party-friendly action rather than complex strategy or high-stakes challenge.

Keep in mind The gameplay loop lacks mechanical depth and replay value beyond co-op sessions, making it feel dated for solo players. The difficulty curve is gentle, which may disappoint those seeking a rigorous combat challenge.
