Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lots of potential fun to be had by including ghosts such as the Marshmallow Man, the Boogey Man, Viggo, etc. none of whom are here, and many of which could have interesting playstyles or pose fun boss battles
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A meaty single player campaign or story mode, the ability to play the few brief story bits that do exist in co-op, unlimited time in levels, an open city or large levels, driving the Ecto-1, more than a couple of handfuls of maps, or appearances from all of the movie characters.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
story is fun, new characters and some from the cartoon real ghostbusters.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Still, despite these issues, there's decent fun to be had in PVP matches, and the brisk match pacing helps make a lot of these issues a lot easier to forgive.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Alot of fun to be had,game runs like butter on my system,really enjoy 4k graphics maxed out,works perfect with controllers.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Running around seeing my PKE meter sound off as I get closer to ghosts or their minions makes me feel like I'm playing a Ghostbusters simulator almost (albeit a fast paced, videogamey one.) The action is really enjoyable and nails the Ghostbusters look, feel, and sound design.
