Phasmophobia is a 4-player online co-op, psychological horror VR game that aims to hunt ghosts with friends on Steam and PlayStation VR2.
As a paranormal investigator, players need to explore haunted houses, gather evidence of the type of entity you are dealing with, and escape with your life if you can.
The game has a solid offering of 13 maps, a level cap of 100, and a bevy of ghosts, wraiths, and entities to classify, providing dozens of hours of gameplay.
Phasmophobia delivers effective scares when you're completely immersed, and there is an eerie feeling when something is whispering in your ear.
Using your tool belt to grab your items makes it easier to know exactly what to do in the heat of the moment.
The game can be played in solo mode or co-op mode, and the level of horror can be either serious or comedic depending on the players' preferences.
Phasmophobia has a slew of common accessibility features for players of all kinds, including left-handed and seated modes, artificial stick-based locomotion or teleportation options, among others.
The feature of choosing between holding or toggling to grab items and doors is also available.
As a review-in-progress, the review will be updated once any major update is available or if there are significant overhauls in the future.
Phasmophobia is a highly enjoyable experience with friends, but it's a tough sell as a single player game and has janky mechanics that are heightened by the make-believe recreation of haunted houses.
