Be a buster or a ghoster
I used to think Ghostbusters was a fantasy about having a cool car and a slidey pole in your house. Now that I’m an adult I realise it’s actually a fantasy about having ample free time to hang out with your friends in New York. But Isupposeit’s also about bustin' ghosts, which is whatGhostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’s asymmetric multiplayer replicates. It’s out today.

It’s asymmetric, though, which means one player can also choose to take control of a ghost - choosing from a selection including the iconic Slimer - and instead spend their time terrorising the humans. As a ghost you’re able to possess inanimate objects and spray ectoplasm.
Spirits Unleashed is the work of IllFonic, who previously plowed the asymmetric furrow inFriday the 13th: The GameandPredator: Hunting Grounds. Those were pretty solid games, but Ghostbusters seems like a perfect setting - and a less grisly one - for an asymmetric co-op game. Proton packs and ghost traps have always been great game design, even though they were created for a 1984 movie.
Much like other Ghostbusters games, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed isexclusive to Epic’s game store, the Epic Game Store. It costs £32.
