Early Access Review
In my opinion, Phasmophobia is THE horror game.
Many horror games are story games. This is not necessarily bad, but it means your horror experience has a time handicap unless you replay the same story. At Kinetic Game they have managed to create a horror game with the same amazing replay ability as that of Fortnite (only example I could think of do not question). Phasmophobia's replay ability is amazing because of how each round is different. Different ghost leads to different activities, events, etc.
The items used have no flaws and all of them have a somewhat useful use which is surprising as there are a lot of them. The gameplay and mechanics feels very natural. Its not an easy game to learn but once you do it is very satisfying and as your knowledge of the ghost expands it feels great when you guess it right. They have implemented lots of little things that you can do other than use the items to figure out the ghost which is a great addition (e.g Poltergeist bomb).
The game is fun solo but I would recommend at least two other friends to play with as it can be fun and hilarious (Shoutout to MeatGobbler and LeftyB- usernames at time of writing).
The price of the game is very cheap for the amount of hours you can get on it and still not get bored and the game is just great in general.
All in all, Phasmophobia is a big recommend whether you enjoy horror or not as you will soon get used to the scares and will just enjoy the game.
