Wish you can play with your friends on the same console instead of online play.

Xbox One - Ghostbusters Unleashed
Illfonic completely understands what it takes to fulfill every player's wish of being a Ghostbuster in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. I truly felt like a Ghostbuster the entire time. With awesome story beats placed throughout to keep the leveling-up experience worthwhile and exciting gameplay to keep every job feeling fun, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is the realization of the perfect Ghostbusters experience. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed brings everything a Ghostbusters fan could ever dream of into one game and more. From a dazzling love letter to the entire franchise with its character inclusions to absolutely nailing the satisfying feeling of pulling the trigger on your particle thrower, Illfonic shows that they know what it takes to make a great Ghostbusters game. While some of the pitfalls of the asymmetric multiplayer genre are still quite present, I can’t fathom a better way to let players slip on the jumpsuit and go bust some ghosts. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed knows exactly how to deliver a Ghostbusters game: let the players play as themselves, not preestablished characters! From the jump, being able to fully customize your Ghostbuster feels like a dream come true. While the entire game does fall into the more cartoony art style, the character customization options are more robust than I was expecting. Don’t go in expecting RPG levels of detail, but I was able to sit down and create my character that looks close enough to what I look like in real life. On top of all that, being able to see my PSN gamer tag printed right there on the classic Ghostbusters jumpsuit was just icing on the cake. Unlike previous asymmetric multiplayer games, I had a weird connection to my character; unlike previous games where I either played as a “generic horror movie teenager” or a “generic soldier”. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed offers both complete offline play and standard 4v1 multiplayer. During this review period, I often played offline since it’s tough to coordinate schedules (we’re all adults, and everybody has 3 mortgages nowadays). Much to my surprise, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has a pretty great offline mode! While it’ll never beat being able to actively coordinate with live players, the AI teammates were adept enough at capturing ghosts. They did seem to falter at everything else, however. Seeking out ghost rifts (more on these in a bit) and destroying them seemed to be second or third on their to-do list, which often led to me being the lone Ghostbuster to hunt them down. Ghostbusters Unleashed is definitely one to collect & add to any Ghostbuster fans collection! I highly recommend it!

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
The sequel game to The first Ghostbusters game. Plays just like the movie. It is set after the events of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and focuses on players tackling matches either as a ghostbuster trying to capture ghosts, or a ghost trying to haunt a location. The maps are a little bit wacky on the game and it needs more content in my opinion but overall it's not a bad game.
