Used to love this game. It was one of my most played, still is my most played game, but there is now so many cheaters its crazy. I hate running lobbies now because once they get ingot your lobby you cannot kick them and they just follow you every time you try to make a new lobby. You report and block them and they just rejoin back into your lobby. I have stopped recommending this game to my friends because there are so many cheaters its hard to play.

I really wanted to recommend this game, but the amount of time updates take to come out is far too slow; even for an indie dev company. They made millions off of this game alone, they have hired a few developers but so far thats about it. They have released updates to make the game better but the rate that these updates are coming out is slow. Even slower than many other indie games that made no where near what this game made but somehow they can release content at a faster pace.
Also if your going to add a progression system to this game, do it properly, not a slow and mediocre grind fest.

Honestly this game is fun but it seriously needs more jumpscares. Its been out for 5 years now with the exact same scare for every ghost there is no excuse that it should have taken this long. The game is so stale unless you are playing with friends after the first 10 games. Its cool the game has new equipment and content but the base of the game is the ghosts and getting scared, it lost all of that novelty after an hour.

I can’t recommend this game enough. I’ve been playing it with friends since the beta version, and it’s hands down one of the best co-op experiences out there. You can really see the effort and passion the team has put into improving the game with every update. It’s been amazing to watch it grow into what it is today. Proud to see how far it’s come!

Fun both with and without friends, but certainly funnier with friends. Endless trolling potential, especially with cursed possesions. Might take some time to get into it as there is a lot of information you have to infer on your own from playing or through wiki-gaming. The devs deliver on their promises of updates and that's what makes this game so good imo as you have reasons to get back into it.

This game is truly scary. this is a ghost hunting game and goal of this game is to go into a house or building and try and figure out what type of ghost is occupying the building. You are able to do this by finding various evidence by using equipment and gadgets. You are also able to complete side objectives that give you extra money and experience.
When I play this game solo, I almost lose my balls when I get jumpscared and killed by the ghost. Playing in groups makes the game feel less scary, but it can still be scary. The game gets even scarier when you play on nightmare and insanity which are the 2 hardest difficulties.
Outside of that, there are many different ghost types with some being more dangerous than others, and at the end of the day, this is a well made horror game with fun and exciting gameplay.

Phasmophobia is a truly unique game, unlike anything I've played before. Unfortunately, the community can be rough on newbies; I've been kicked from more lobbies than I can count just because I'm not high-level yet. But, if you score a good group or have friends to team up with, it's an experience you've got to try.
Now, I'm not one for completing all tasks or nailing that perfect investigation; I'm simply here for the fun of figuring out the ghost type whilst being hunted. Sadly, the majority of players seem to be after achievements etc. and therefore the key is to find players who vibe with your style, or you might find yourself booted out more often than not.
The community aside, however, this is a great game that's still going strong after so many years—a testament to its niche offering in a typically over-saturated gaming market.
