I only played it for about 4 hours, but I think it's enough. I first learned of this game through Youtubers playing it on early access, then later it showed up at a couple of gaming events. Sometime after it came out of early access, Epic gave it away, so me and a few friends decided to give it a shot.

It's a simple but tried and true premise: Prop Hunt. However, with a Ghostbusters coat over it, as the hiders are ghosts with strange powers possessing objects to hide until midnight, when they get strong enough to attack the seekers, which are ghost hunters equipped to capture or destroy ghosts that must get them before midnight, lest hunter becomes prey.

I had fun playing it with friends, not so much solo. The skills and equipment are interesting, but sometimes things are too hard for ghost hunters, even with the gimmick that makes ghosts easier to detect if they stay put for too long (Ectoplasm meter building up, and automatic taunts every 30 or so seconds). For example, when playing as a ghost I used a skill that allowed me to see hunters in close proximity through walls, and whenever there wasn't anyone close I'd spam jump to lower the ectoplasm, and they couldn't find me even with the taunts since the meter was always low.

Despite the balancing, it's still a fun game with friends, and getting it for free made it even better, as I'm not sure I'd have paid for it. If you can get some people together to play it, it's a great "game night weekend" title, as long as you avoid getting or playing with sweaty players.

SCORE: 7/10
