Even this early on, the gameplay loop is exactly how I remember it:
Story

I highly recommend starting with the movie to fully immerse yourself and appreciate the story.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics aren't the best, even with the remaster, but they stay true to the movie and recreate the original characters well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The writing and voice acting remain a highlight — hearing the original actors again is a big part of why this game still works.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Levels are pretty good with slow bits to build up tension and explore for artifacts for money, then get into combat where you fight ghost or scan them for money and weaknesses, which you buy upgrades(Don’t buy the scanner stuff until you got everything else).
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character models — especially the Ghostbusters themselves — look better than I expected, and the proton stream effects are still the star of the show.
