  • stability
    460 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting it as "incredibly buggy" and "a buggy mess." While some players acknowledge improvements since its initial release, many still experience frequent glitches, crashes, and unresponsive mechanics, particularly in multiplayer modes. Overall, while the game shows potential and can be enjoyable, it is currently marred by technical issues that detract from the experience, making it advisable for players to wait for further updates before diving in.

    • “Some maps still require a bit of optimization, but aside from that, it's relatively a bug-free experience.”
    • “In its current state, I would have to say I most definitely recommend this game as it's an almost bug-free experience. The multiple game modes will give you plenty of options to play with, and the fact that the ghost can get you outside the house is great for keeping up the fear factor. After 120 hours, this game can still instill a sense of fear in me when you're legging it from an entity to try and get to the van to slam the door in its face.”
    • “My experience so far in multiplayer is mostly not buggy. There are some bugs here and there, but not that many. I definitely suggest this game.”
    • “Unfortunately, this game is riddled with bugs and glitches that often make the game unplayable.”
    • “It's still incredibly buggy.”
    • “The game is a broken, buggy mess, and that is being kind to the game itself.”
  • gameplay
    357 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Ghost Exorcism Inc." offers a unique blend of mechanics that differentiate it from similar titles like "Phasmophobia," particularly with its focus on exorcising ghosts rather than just identifying them. While players appreciate the engaging and strategic elements, such as the use of various protective items and the need to gather evidence, many report significant bugs and glitches that hinder the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game is praised for its fun multiplayer aspects and immersive atmosphere, suggesting a solid foundation that could improve with further updates and refinements.

    • “The game offers a unique and engaging gameplay experience that combines elements of strategy, simulation, and puzzle-solving.”
    • “With its immersive atmospheres, strategic gameplay mechanics, and spine-chilling encounters, it offers a good time for both solo players and cooperative teams.”
    • “The challenge of gathering evidence alongside the need to exorcise the ghost makes for a unique gameplay experience and honestly just a ton of fun, especially with friends.”
    • “Voice recognition is trash and the game's mechanics are very unclear.”
    • “The mechanics are rough and way too useless and confusing.”
    • “The gameplay loop just doesn't come close to Phasmo in terms of quality or satisfaction.”
  • graphics
    133 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the detailed environments and spooky atmosphere, while others criticize the overall quality as unpolished and buggy. Many users note that the graphics have suffered from recent updates, leading to performance issues and a lack of customization options. Overall, while there are moments of visual appeal, the game is seen as needing significant improvements in graphics and optimization to meet player expectations.

    • “The game's graphics are visually appealing, with detailed environments that effectively create a spooky atmosphere.”
    • “The graphics and performance seem to be improved.”
    • “The graphics are great, but my character keeps reaching behind his head and the only way to fix it is to open and close a door to be able to see the equipment.”
    • “The graphics have gone downhill, and the body blocking is ridiculous, and I thought Boo Men was bad in that regard!”
    • “The graphics are awful now... the graveyard is impossible to see in the fog even with the fog lamp.”
    • “I have never actually seen a game not only get worse with updates like this, but also graphically look like they reverted it back to bare bones.”
  • story
    128 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and narrative engagement, with many players noting that it offers no significant storyline or character development. Missions are primarily focused on completing tasks such as exorcisms or rescues, but they lack a compelling backstory or build-up, leading to a repetitive experience. While some players appreciate the variety of mission types and the thrill of ghost encounters, the overall consensus is that the game does not prioritize storytelling, leaving players wanting more context and narrative richness.

    • “The exorcism rituals are fun to do and very well put together, as is the inclusion of a drop zone to sell off haunted or occult items, giving you a high risk toward the end of a mission for higher reward.”
    • “Each mission feels like a new paranormal puzzle to solve, and the variety of spirits keeps every encounter fresh and exciting.”
    • “This game has you do more than just identify; you actually get rid of the spirit or die trying. When you succeed, it feels more fulfilling than any Phasmophobia mission ever did for me.”
    • “There would be no build-up of tension, no commitment to a story (in the case of a game like this, it would be 'your story' of the investigation), just horror and scares.”
    • “It's frustrating as hell to try to build up any kind of a balance when 3 out of 5 missions you can't complete because of glitches and the other 2 games disconnect.”
    • “The game is borderline non-playable, mission critical items kept disappearing in my hand, sound cues were non-localized & the text is all in broken English.”
  • optimization
    109 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with many players reporting significant performance issues, including low frame rates, lag, and frequent bugs. While some improvements have been noted since previous updates, the overall consensus is that the game remains poorly optimized, particularly for lower-end systems, and requires substantial work to enhance stability and performance. Players recommend waiting for further updates before purchasing, as the current state is deemed unplayable for many.

    • “Most graphical and user experience issues have been wiped out, including FOV slider and performance fixes.”
    • “The game runs smoothly, and the alterations done to the ghosts and items are much nicer.”
    • “Already received an update which greatly reduces loading times and improves performance.”
    • “Now with this 'new' update, the game has regressed into something I can't even place, almost as if they went back to an alpha state with the amount of bugs and performance issues. It has essentially turned into what Phasmophobia has been for the past 2 years. They may still be in early access, but what they did before was a step in the right direction. I unfortunately cannot recommend this game in its current state.”
    • “The optimization is absolutely awful and the amount of prominent bugs present after a full week of being out is ridiculous.”
    • “The game is poorly optimized, which leads to my computer crashing often when I play.”
  • humor
    101 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a standout feature, with players frequently highlighting the hilarious interactions and glitches that arise during gameplay. Many reviews mention the comedic moments shared with friends, such as funny character animations, unexpected ghost antics, and amusing bugs that lead to chaotic situations. Overall, the game successfully blends humor with its spooky elements, making for a lighthearted and entertaining experience, especially in multiplayer settings.

    • “It’s always hilarious when the ghost comes into your van, starts punching everything, and sometimes even rips the door off.”
    • “Def worth the price, plus if you have a friend like mine, that can't run from ghosts, it's funny to watch his antics while he's dead, stacking furniture in front of doors and such.”
    • “Absolutely hilarious ghost hunting game in the same vein as Phasmophobia.”
  • atmosphere
    90 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its spooky and immersive qualities, with many players noting the effective sound design and visually appealing environments that enhance the overall experience. While some comparisons to other ghost-hunting games like Phasmophobia highlight a lack of tension or polish, the game's unique settings and engaging mechanics contribute to a chilling atmosphere that keeps players on edge. However, issues such as bugs and inconsistent ghost behavior can detract from the intended eerie experience.

    • “The game's graphics are visually appealing, with detailed environments that effectively create a spooky atmosphere.”
    • “With its immersive atmospheres, strategic gameplay mechanics, and spine-chilling encounters, it offers a good time for both solo players and cooperative teams.”
    • “The atmosphere is perfect and contributes to a truly creepy experience.”
    • “Furthermore, the game has become too bright and lost its spooky atmosphere, along with the ghost not being too hostile, which can be attributed to playing in easy mode.”
    • “For the horror part, it's pretty boring because the sounds (atmosphere) and ghost events are boring, predictable, and nothing new.”
    • “The atmosphere of this game was not scary and the ghosts were laughable.”
  • grinding
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players describing it as tedious, time-consuming, and often frustrating due to bugs and poor mechanics. Many feel that the need to grind for items and levels detracts from the overall enjoyment, making the experience feel like a chore rather than fun. While some players argue that the grind is manageable, the consensus leans towards it being excessively burdensome, especially when compounded by technical issues.

    • “Give this game a shot, it really is not grindy as some people are saying, it's about the same as Phasmo when it first came out.”
    • “It's just that hunting for the super cursed item is very tedious and time-consuming at times.”
    • “Exorcisms are a chore and boring, tedious, and out of your way.”
    • “A problem that the game currently has is that it's very difficult and grindy to get into.”
  • replayability
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers high replayability due to its engaging mechanics and frequent updates, which enhance the gameplay experience. While some players note that predictable ghost behavior can diminish replay value, many still find it enjoyable, especially compared to similar titles like Phasmophobia. The developers' commitment to ongoing improvements suggests that replayability may continue to increase as the game evolves.

    • “This game is a lot of fun with much more replayability than other similar games.”
    • “The game has many mechanics and many updates which makes the game fun to play, and adds a lot of replayability.”
    • “Coming from Phasmophobia, this game has excellent replay value - and grade A scares.”
    • “Do you want to play a ghost hunting game but you have no friends or are getting sick of the replayability?”
    • “Replay value is lacking due to the ghosts' predictable behavior.”
    • “Hopefully they keep updating it and ironing out the issues because it does have the potential to be great, but until then, I hope Steam grants my refund for this one and I can buy it again when it's in a more playable state.”
  • monetization
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has been heavily criticized, with many users labeling it a "cash grab" that feels unfinished and lacking in content compared to similar titles like Phasmophobia. Reviewers express frustration over misleading advertising regarding co-op features and overall quality, suggesting that the game is primarily designed to capitalize on the popularity of ghost hunting games rather than provide a genuine gaming experience. Despite some updates and community engagement, the prevailing sentiment is that the game is not worth its price and is unlikely to sustain player interest.

    • “Probably on the bottom of the tier list of ghost hunting games as this game just feels awful and cheap, like a cash grab to catch people wanting other games like Phasmophobia.”
    • “I feel as if the game is unfinished or just a rushed development plan; some could even call it an asset flip/cash grab, as there are many games that offer similar or more content.”
    • “This game is nowhere near ready to be released at cost, and it seems more like a quick cash grab than an attempt at making a quality product.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is noted for its immersive and eerie sound design, enhancing the tension during investigations. Players enjoy the humorous chase music associated with characters like the clown, while some have playfully integrated external songs, like the Ghostbusters theme, into their gameplay experience. However, there are mixed feelings about the use of jump scare music, which can feel excessive at times.

    • “The sound design further enhances the immersive experience, with eerie music and sound effects that keep you on edge throughout your investigations.”
    • “I love the clown and his chase music; he is so funny!”
    • “Hilariously, 'jump scare violin music' plays when there is no need.”
    • “Hilariously, 'jump scare violin music' plays...when there is no need.”
    • “But I can attest, preach, and sing the songs of the game pre-current patch (as of writing this the patch of 7/30/2021).”
    • “Oh, and FYI, the ghost does not seem to like my singing to them, especially the theme of Ghostbusters for some reason. Can't help it if you give a brother a proton pack and expect him to not sing the theme song as he enters the house.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players report a highly emotional experience characterized by intense fear and frustration, particularly when confronting challenging gameplay elements and unexpected scares. The game's atmosphere elicits strong reactions, such as panic and confusion, especially when dealing with ominous sounds and the consequences of in-game actions. Despite some minor technical issues, the emotional impact remains a significant highlight of the gameplay.

    • “The game is very challenging at first, making you question your purpose and decisions. You find yourself asking, 'What the hell is going on?' and jumping out of your chair after hearing the maniacal laugh of the daemon. The emotional rollercoaster of wondering why the crucifix and the statue didn't work adds to the intensity of the experience.”
