Phasmophobia

Phasmophobia is a highly replayable co-op experience that expertly manages to blend friendly fun with deathly scares. There's a complexity to its ghost hunting as you gather evidence and test your nerves, and it's made all the better as you bicker, debate, and scream with your friends. A slow levelling system stalls that sense of progression, and finicky controls mean the PSVR2 version of the game is a bit of a letdown. However, if you're looking for a unique kind of co-op experience for you and your friends, Phasmophobia is one of a kind.

Kinetic Games' co-op horror mysteries are as fumbly as they are intricate.

I can easily recommend Phasmophobia, even if you're a certified scaredy-cat like me. Playing this with my friends was some of the most fun I've ever had with a video game. It's easy to learn and has intuitive controls, and you can scare yourself silly with little effort.

It is a testament to the game experience that players will get past the PSVR 2 issues and still go ghost hunting with Phasmophobia. If you love ghost busting and can tamper your expectations with the game’s polish, you are in for a great time.

The game is made for replayability, if you like spooky games with your friends or if you have always wanted to hunt for ghost but don’t really want to leave the house, well have I got a game for you.

Despite its many obvious technical limitations, Phasmophobia is highly recommended for those who love horror and have the opportunity to play it with a group of friends, thanks to still innovative gameplay and a total sense of immersion.

I’m a bit disappointed with the PlayStation 5 port of a beloved, overwhelmingly positive title on Steam. Phasmophobia not only contains some of the worst user navigation interfaces I’ve seen in a long time, but also a gameplay loop that isn’t well explained for newcomers to enjoy. Deep down inside, I know there’s fun to be had, but you have to be really patient with this one to find it.

Kinetic Games' Phasmophobia is a surprisingly scary experience, solo and with friends, though several features - like the lobby browser - need more work.

After much anticipation, console gamers can finally get their hands on Phasmophobia, which brings with it the features that brought it success and a good post-launch support that we expect to see.

Phasmophobia undoubtedly creates the kind of scary, hysterical enjoyment that games like this one so often do, encouraging you to want to return over and over. No two games are exactly alike, even on the same map with the same type of ghost, making this more than worth its fair price point. Kinetic Games’ decision to open Phasmophobia up to the console community is something that has been a long time coming and is undoubtedly going to more than satisfy those who have been waiting for it.
