“With 53 hours of gameplay I must say I love this game. It looks beautiful and it's spooky scary. Love playing it with my friends and solo. Some ghosts take forever to figure out where other times it's pretty fast. I…”

“Phasmo feels like a puzzle game with a basic checklist to accomplish your goal. You need to make repeated trips and dump off equipment, occasionally checking them to see if they show anything useful until you finally…”
“Blatant ripoff of Phasmophobia, AI art everywhere, asset flipped to the extreme bloatware. It wouldn't be all that bad if it was at least consistent. It's not. All the random elements for Phas are there, except more…”
“I'm so upset that I can't refund this game anymore because I wanted to give it a genuine chance but the ghosts sometimes take up to half an hour to leave any evidence on these janky starter items. I've only played three…”

“Was great, then they updated it. Now it's unplayable for me unless I update my hardware. Should I need to do this when the game ran perfectly fine before? No. Took you long enough to put some updates in and when you…”
“Was able to run this awhile ago. Now it crashes on startup and its not just me. Refund request denied. Nice to know you can just break the game for people and its cool. Thanks devs.”
“devs locked out users with older hardware with no communication from them even with decent hardware that does have the ray tracing cores needed for lumen, this game is really unoptimized.”

“Demonologist is basically Phasmophobia’s angry older brother who just got out of prison and hasn't had his morning coffee yet. I love how the game lets you customize your "Safe House," which is essentially just a very expensive waiting room where you and your friends can sit and…”

The base game is great but there are LOTS of bugs to encounter. First off, graphics settings reset quite often, same with your controls. Having to…”
— a player, Steam review · 155 hrs played“I used to love this game, but that was before the 2.0 update. The 2.0 update introduced Nvidia's ray tracing into the game and the developer decided not to let people turn it off.
