I cannot recommend this video game at this time. The concept is there, but the execution is sloppy at best. They took the Unreal video game "engine" and produced a product that looks like it was made using the Unity "engine." All the characters are ugly as a fat girl looking for a date, not to mention they lazily use computers to make voices instead of paying humans.
Much of the time, the people that are NOT working still tire, so that they cannot easily replace the people that ARE working when they tire. The humans get stuck performing tasks (still getting tired), meanwhile ignoring the closest bed to sleep, opting to go for the bed across the map.
I am all for video games about the greatness of a free market society but this seems like a half baked product. Don't buy it. Denny Crane.

Fun Japanese video game with a vast city to explore; above and below ground.
I have only two major complaints:
1. Never does the story indicate it is okay to complete the plethora of missions on the side, also to look for hidden things.
2. It was never truly scary. The atmosphere is there and this is a modern ghost story, but it was never scary.
Buy this video game. Denny Crane.

I like this cartoon. It's a cartoon made by Republicans. But this video game was not. The weapons are all but useless, there are no check points if you die. Am I expected to play this video game again after I beat it? There is a system in this video game where you make upgrades that persist after death. But there are too many suggesting I'll have to play this video game again to unlock them all. But I don't want to. I'm bored.

Denny Crane here. Buy this video game. If you were a straight man in the 80's you saw this movie and it's sequel. Then the Liberals came and put their Socialist spin on this franchise around 2016, and that movie bombed obvious. Women cannot replace men. Period. Then came another movie which ignored that Liberal circle jerk movie. The ACTUAL third movie was great and a proper send off to Harold Ramis. The point is this video game takes place RIGHT after that proper third movie.
If you like "busting" ghosts, this video game is for you. EVERY small detail you can customize on your "buster."
If you like haunting locations, this video game is for you. All the ghosts are just spooky enough and balanced with a little cartoon edge to make them fun to look at as well as play. EVERY ghost, and it's variant has a unique play style, not to mention there are other ways to customize your ghosts, including colors and powers. Several maps, more content coming and an obvious love of the franchise not to mention the original actors voicing their characters. Buy this. Denny Crane.

Denny Crane here to tell you to wait on buying this video game. We were told time and again, that this video game would be "released when it's ready." That's a phrase to indicate the video game developers want to take their time to get things right the first time. Meanwhile they finally departed from their original video game "engine" and finally utilized a respectable "engine" named Unreal; however they failed to actually utilize it.
The user interface ("UI") is ugly and horribly laid out. Options and features are hidden behind seemingly unrelated sub menus. The mission selection screen is just a long horizontal line you HAVE to scroll to bring up further missions onto your screen. And littered between the missions are separate little "videos" that tell the story, which I'll get to next.
These story "videos" are some of the laziest choices I have seen in a video game that supposed to be using an "engine" with such great capability. These "videos" are nothing more than still images (mostly in shadow) that just slowly pan along the image, add to the fact that the voice acting and dialog are weak. In one of these "videos" a new member is just added to the gang, to which the defacto leader simply says "welcome to the Payday gang." There is no story build up, no discussion between the remaining gang members about this new member.
Then there is the money. As normal you get paid at the end of every heist. However, that money is NOT your money. Instead you HAVE to turn your money into a... unique currency. This to me STINKS of an early on, introduced micro transaction (remember the safe fiasco) that they pivoted at the last second, too late into development. The money you get is worthless but instead has to be exchanged for special coin that is used to buy your weapons and cosmetics.
I would go over the positives but they aren't worth it because right now this video game is not worth buying. Avoid this video game for a while. Maybe give it some time to address these issues. Denny Crane.

I'll start with the bad so as to end on a well deserved positive note. The unfortunate truth is this video game just uses a LOT of the same things from the previous entry. Examples would be the music is actually just a copy of the music from the previous game. Some levels and other characters are brought over as well.
After taking a LOT from the previous iteration, this video adds a LOT that is new. Rebuilding your "Necropolis" as well as upgrading yourself with "runes" and specializing your little minions to aid you in battle. Overall this video game is more than worth the price. Denny Crane.

I would like to recommend this video game to others, more importantly my cult. However, I cannot. This video game is advertised as a cat-and-mouse-esque video game, where others are also hidden attempting the same objectives as you.
The first major problem is that the developers have lost control. This video game has turned into a battle royale, where instead of focusing on the objectives, players will simply hunt other players. The second major problem is that playing carefully and undercover is what's advertised yet all the experienced players just run and jump the whole time. The stealth is available to use, however too many people don't care to use it.
Matches can last indefinitely if the players hunting other players just ignore the objective; either through waiting for another player to make a mistake or through active means... all the while running and jumping.
There are good ideas in this video game, however they are not connected well and no solid boundary was established to get players to play as intended.
Several achievements unobtainable, running and gunning when it should be sneaking and patience. Do NOT buy this video game. Denny Crane.
Addendum as of 6-15-2023: They added sexual orientation flags. I officially done with this video game.

On the surface this video game has potential - serious potential. However, upon further playing from the "beta" to the release, after numerous "Brutal" raids conquered, I'm bored. That leaves building your own base to get raided. My "Brutal" base has caused many people to rage quit like sissies and many more to push through and EVENTUALLY get the prize (good for them). However, at some point (level 10) my base will be put into forced retirement; taking it out of circulation. Something I've worked hard on to perfect, hours scrutinizing over details: placements, timing, modifications; is to be put to pasture, no more to bring me resources nor the suffering of some sissy Liberal that thinks they know what violence is (hint: words are not).
This is the third video game from the Canadia company "Behavior" that I've played and came away with a sour face. Dead by Daylight is a sissy video game (Friday the 13th: The Video Game was better), Deathgarden: Bloodharvest was turned into a sissy video game like Dead by Daylight (the issue with those two video games is they forced you to let survivors go or give the survivors multiple chances - "no mercy," I say).
Meet Your Maker has issues only made by the designer. Many player bases to raid either uninspired design or truly unrewarding after the hard work put in to get through their traps. The most fun part is building your own base yet THAT has a set time limit of enjoyment, forced to retire it out of circulation at level 10. Who keeps taking good ideas at "Behavior" and bogging them down with bad additions or modifications. Do not buy this video game. I'm certainly never buying a video game from "Behavior" again.

It seems I was mistaken. THIS video game is the fifth in the series. However it is a series in of itself, "chapters" might be more accurate. This is a great improvement from the "Escape" entry in the series (i.e. the fourth entry).
The graphics look more like plastic than dirt and cheapness. The writing is better than "Escape" and the general atmosphere seems more on par with previous iterations of the series, except for "Escape." So far I can recommend this entry into the series. Denny Crane.

This video game is terrible. Believe it or not this is the fourth in a series of five. I bought the fifth thinking it was the fourth, and looking through the synopsis of the past on the fifth, I learned of this video game, the actual fourth. The art in this video game looks lazy, dirty, and grainy. The music seems overproduced and of a lower quality.
The controls are frustrating at best. In a video game series of open maps (including the newest fifth iteration) the fourth keeps the open maps but instead of moving your mouse around to search and move in your environment, you HAVE to move your character with sloppy controls, navigating a maze of obstacles to search by proximity and direction of facing. Some clues or objects can be TOO well hidden, while many of the puzzles make NO sense and have no clues nor proper foreshadowing to start leading the players down a path of thinking. Not to mention many of these puzzles are locked behind slow and tedious animations that you CANNOT skip; these same animations sometimes HAVE to be repeated more than 5 or 10 times, making a five minute puzzles into a 30 minutes to an hour tedious, sloth.
One of the greatest disappointments is the combat. In EVERY previous version (I haven't played the fifth yet past the main menu) there was a form of insult combat. In this version (the fourth iteration) they repeatedly tease and setup new forms of insult combat to NEVER deliver. Instead they introduced a new version called "Monkey Kombat." In this combat you are forced to not only learn the language of the monkeys but then you're also forced to learn multiple level of an extended rock/paper/scissors-type where the new combat moves have not only NO logical reason to be a counter (e.g. paper WOULD cover a rock), but what counters what is actually randomized every different play through. With no logical path of thinking and no patterns of the past you are forced to arduously and tediously go through animations you cannot skip and must take meticulous notes creating your own chart of sorts. All this completely taking you out of the video game and into your own head. Not only do they tease something they NEVER deliver, they force you to make charts and not enjoy the video game but dissect it. How is that fun?
This series of video games was charming and fun until this horrific mess. Let's hope the fifth fixes all these mistakes and makes up for them.
Communist California produced, this video game insults an entire series. Who ever could have foreseen that California produced things are only meant to destroy and convert? Denny Crane.
