Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord Review

Ghostbusters is long awaited action-adventure game. In our presentation today we will share our honest and objective opinion about the game.

Design

One of the best things in this game is the level design. The developers nDreams have done a really good job by recreating some of the most famous parts of San Francisco, like the Golden Bridge, Chinatown, with their unique design, the Columbia University of New York, and Alcatraz prison, which is really different from the original one. Overall, these parts of the real world make the game more realistic and alive.

The team also put a lot of effort into creating the types of ghosts as you will see different kinds of enemies, some of them with specific skills like the big pink one – Penny, that heals the surrounding ghosts. Some of them explode when close by, others disarm you, and you are not able to shoot before removing them from your arms.

Overall, the world has been well designed and will enjoy even the most demanding gamers.

Co-op

Teamwork dynamics come into play as the players must coordinate their actions, interact with the environment, and use their scanners and PK meters to locate objects and capture ghosts.

Communication is key in order to progress in the game and complete objectives. Players must rely on each other to overcome obstacles and solve mysteries.

With the right equipment and teamwork, the Ghostbusters can successfully capture the ghosts and progress in the game.

There are, especially in multiplayer, some unique outfits for the different characters that you can choose from.

Game Mechanics

You need the right equipment to become a successful Ghostbuster. This includes proton packs, PK meters, traps, scanners, and Ecto-1. Utilizing these tools effectively is essential in achieving the team’s goal of four-player ghostbusting.

Also, there is a shooting practice range outside of the HQ where you can practice your weapons.

Players must interact with the environment to locate possessed objects and capture ghosts with traps. Multiple ghosts and obstacles must be dealt with, necessitating teamwork and coordination.

PK meters and Ecto-1 help players navigate the virtual reality environment, while conveyor belts and doors add to the challenge.

A player will also feel when a ghost passes through as a head rumble. It is really a game-changer.

Excitement and Immersion

You will be amazed at the level of intensity and immersion that the virtual reality environment provides as you battle ghosts and defend against their attacks. Jump scares are scattered throughout the game, making the experience even more exciting. You have to adapt to the environment quickly in order to stay alive.

The virtual reality environment helps you to feel like you are really in the world of Ghostbusters, and you have to use the tools provided to capture the ghosts.

It is an incredible experience, and the feeling of accomplishment after successfully completing a mission is indescribable.

Object Retrieval

Using your PK meter to locate possessed objects, you must scavenge the virtual environment to find hidden items and clues. Ghostbusters VR offers an exciting challenge to players by tasking them with object retrieval and ghost exorcism.

Strategies are key to efficiently completing objectives. Traps and scanners help you locate objects in the environment, while the proton packs and Ecto-1 provide the tools to exorcise captured ghosts. Working together with your team, you must overcome obstacles and solve mysteries in order to progress.

The challenge of object retrieval is an exhilarating experience that requires coordination and communication between all players. Tips for efficient ghost exorcism include using traps to quickly capture ghosts, as well as using the environment to your advantage.
