Description: Phasmophobia is a 4 player online co-op psychological horror where you and your team members of paranormal investigators will enter haunted locations filled with paranormal activity and gather as much evidence of the paranormal as you can. You will use your ghost hunting equipment to search for and record evidence of whatever ghost is haunting the location to sell onto a ghost removal team.
You can choose to support your team by monitoring the location with CCTV cameras and motion sensors from the safety of the truck or head inside and get your hands dirty with the ghostly activity that will get increasingly hostile as time goes on.
Review: Phasmophobia is one of those games that will make little to no sense if you are playing on your own. It’s a horror game in which you play the role of a Paranormal investigator and you need to hunt for ghosts. Its dark, scary and overall the game is well made. With several jump-scares and a creepy atmosphere from the start, the game will have most people on edge from the word go. But it simply doesn’t have enough content to justify the £10.99 price tag without playing with friends. Is it a great game? Yes, but not one for us single players. If you can find up to 4 people to play with do give it a go, otherwise, wait for a very good sale price.
