I don’t have the patience to grind out tools, nor do I have a static group of homies to become virtual Syfy (or whatever it is now) Channel ghost-hunting superstars with. But Phasmophobia’s intricacy and malleability that offers both kinds of experiences is super impressive. I love that I can have an intense, singleplayer horror survival game, then invite some friends and have that same game morph into something else within its framework. And then, theoretically, have it turn into another different kind of game once the training wheels are off. It’s fascinating in its ambition and complexity, and even if every aspect of it isn’t perfectly fine-tuned, it’s still compelling to engage with. Since Phasmophobia's in early access despite coming to consoles, I can see that fine-tuning continue to take place over time, as the developers keep hammering their clever systems into shape. With a little more clarity and maintenance, I can see Phasmophobia being the horror game to return to year after year.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shacknews.com\u002Farticle\u002F141986\u002Fphasmophobia-review-score","8\u002F10",{"id":105,"author":106,"outlet":109,"summary":115,"review_url":116,"review_date":117,"original_score":118,"normalized_score":14},147491,{"id":107,"name":108},8054,"Richard Walker",{"id":110,"logo":111,"name":112,"website_url":113,"score_format":114},152,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fxbox-achievements-logo.jpg","Xbox Achievements","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.xboxachievements.com\u002F","100","A horror game that delivers stripped down, no frills scares, Phasmophobia is unrelentingly creepy, the mundanity of its suburban residences, with its picket fences and immaculate front lawns, harbouring ghostly nastiness that's not to be taken lightly.
