60 of 198 · most liked firstReview - Not Recommended Take This review is specifically from my standpoint and from a mainly negative perspective. This review may contain spoilers, read at your own risk. Ghost Watchers is a co-op survival horror game where you investigate haunted locations with the objectives of: - Diagnosing ghosts/spirits - Weakening them - Capturing them In that order, the game features multiple levels, each with different atmospheres. Multiple tools are also available, including flashlights,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is relatively entertaining, and the core idea is genuinely fun despite its unfortunate execution. However, there's one aspect of the game that I simply can't overlook: the character and ghost models. The female characters are sexualized in a blatant and unnecessary way.; whether it's characters clipping out of their clothes or the female ghosts having what appears to be genitalia, it feels completely out of place. What does that add to a horror game? Especially one that doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Motion blur doesn't turn off even if you turn it off from the menu. This is a Unity game, not an Unreal one, so you can't use a .ini file to force it off. Actually unplayable, motion blur is disgusting. People have been reporting this for 4 years.

unlabelledView post →UPDATED REVIEW AT THE BOTTOM I wanted to recommend it. It's got good bones. But, ultimately, it's a tedious, endless grind for currency that becomes useless very quickly. The dev even said the ghost containment units are purely cosmetic. So you have a button, that you pay for, to essentially torture the captured ghost for nothing in return. After the drone upgrades and maybe 1 or 2 bracelets, everything in the game is cosmetic and useless. The ghost models are good, the jumpscares they do…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game. I've been playing it since early access in 2022 and I've been following the game's progress. The developers have put a lot of effort into it and the community that has developed around it. Is it like Phasmo? No! I often see reviews on Steam calling it a Phasmo imitation. No! Its theme is similar and some of its elements are similar, but the gameplay is very different. The investigation is only a small part of the gameplay and much more of it is about weakening and capturing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would LOVE to play, unfortunately I cannot join friends lobbies nor can they join mine no matter how we go about it. Codes don't work and neither do invites. We've also reinstalled and it still isn't working. If there's a fix or a reason this, I would love to know!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →www.twitch.tv/troublemaker... scary game scary game!!!!! Starting with some Pilgrim and then switchin to Ghost Watchers with @aierifaeryie.bsky.social @shirochvt.bsky.social and @drawerbee.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Great game. Huge downside is the fact that you can't mute their advertisements for their other games, the sign of silence 99 nights is the most annoying thing I ever heard. Makes me not want to buy another product from them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →literally unplayable- impossible to complete a round. it's so rigid in what you need to do, and the tutorial does not explain core game mechanics. so boring, feels so cheap and soulless. go buy phasmophobia and stay away from this mess
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, I am back from a mental health day. And me and my best friend @m3telscorp.bsky.social are gonna be playing one of our favorite games, Ghost Watchers. I still don't know how this game isn't more popular. #vtuber #mootuber #cowtuber #himbo #ghostwatchers

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SUPER fun with friends, this game is like if you took Phasmophobia, Demonologist, and Panicore and tied them all into one game. HIGHLY recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let this schedule carry you through yet another Monday. New games! I'll be (trying) to finish Teenage Exocolonist, trying out a new game I just picked up, and the collab with Aza this week will be Ghost Watchers! I promise a good time. See you tomorrow okay love ya bye~~ #VTuber #Vsky #LLENTIMES

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game. It wasn't very scary, but has a very addicting loop. Highly recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Phasmophobia but good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game but I think there should be public multiplayer lobbies. The people I used to play with no longer play and I miss playing this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Of all of the ghost-identification games (like "Phasmophobia" or "The Other Side"), this actually might be my favorite. It's a much more aggressive version of those games where the gameplay is a mix of identification followed by a weird checklist bossfight where you run around throwing things at the ghost in order, and it's a fascinating and fun time. The game will be getting a large re-work soon (fingers-crossed that it's good), but for now to get the most out of it you'll want to mess around…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very creepy game and has a lot of replayability. I believe it can be very difficult trying to get some of the advanced items to work properly but a very fun spooky game. A million times better than Phasmophobia lol.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At 1:00 PM EST, we'll be doing Ghost Watchers with VLine! We'll still start at 12 for some practice, though! I wanna see what's been added to the game! See you then!
unlabelledView post →August Gaming Wrap Up! I'm still deep in World of Warcraft. But, I have been showing my Switch some love. Also playing Ghost Watchers and Lethal Company with friends. Zero game completions but that's pretty one brand for me this year.
unlabelledView post →Phasmophobia copycat slop. It has its fun moments, but it is so unfathomably broken it makes me not want to buy their other games I was looking forward to playing. 5 servers in total and they're all laggy as hell. Be prepared to rubberband backwards, unable to cycle between handheld items and disconnect from lobbies on a whim. Most interactions are framerate based. Yep. Somehow, having a high framerate WHICH YOU CAN'T CAP IN SETTINGS makes you miss out on many of the achievements because the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice and fun horror game to play with friends😃.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game but, At first it was exciting and I was looking for another game like phasmophobia, but this game is far from it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →love that you have just a reaper until you uncover the type of ghost and that they have special abilities that you have to watch out for until you finish your objectives to catch them and love that they are in your basement for you to look at
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only been playing a few days but currently enjoying Pokephobia! I like how you can bully the entity, unlike Phas, and I can play how I want. There isn't sanity which makes the game more fun imo, but you can add it and tailor your gaming experience. The jump scares are great and I like how weakening the ghosts is different between sessions. Overall, great game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was gifted to me by a friend and it was so much easier to understand for me than other ghost hunting games. I have some slight cognative issues and with friends I can do this game and have so much fun! There is more to do than most ghost hunting games I have tried and with some of my sensory issues with sound and light I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to play this one, but I can play for hours with no issues!!!!! This game deff has a lot of potential and room to grow! It's amazing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy the game :-) On the surface, from the trailer to the Steam game profile, everything looks really good. But when you actually spend 12.49€ on it and try it for yourself, it turns out to be a mess. I tried playing the game with a friend, which for some reason was difficult. We live in the same country, but the game loaded us into two different geo zones. If you are not in the same geo zone, you won’t be able to play together. In the lobby, there are multiple glitches. For example,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably the most fun I've had hunting ghosts and throwing balls in a long time. Pros: - Runs perfectly, some FPS dips, but nothing major - Large amount of ghosts, locked behind progression sadly, but amazing regardless - Ghosts don't mess around, you want them to talk, they talk, they hunt, they're pissed. - Lots of items and challenges - Free Cosmetics Cons: - Some Challenges feel pointless - Some items are useless - Sometimes the Ai is buggy - Calm ghosts are the most aggressive of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I personally think this game is better than phas. Its not as polished but with updates and qol fixes it could be the best ghost hunter game on the market.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really good and fun Ghost game, If you want a true hard experience with funny physics good character and ghost models, and decent maps, then this game is for you. The game in itself is not that large, but the achievements are a different level. I have currently around 75+ hours in the game, and still play it every day with friends. The difficulties are pretty balanced, as well as the items. Can only recommend! Edit: The only bugs you'll encounter, are game breaking ones.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Interesting ghosts, with multiple different special attacks/events. I would skip learning normal items and jump straight into advanced and play on Insane (it's not largely difficult) I feel learning normal then trying to learn advanced really would confuse players (and has confused people I have been teaching), jump straight in the deep end, learn how to do the tasks, learn the maps, and what combos represent each ghost type, and always carry protective items, I am more of an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game - infinitely better than Phasmophobia. Has action and an exorcism and can be punishing depending on difficulty and mutations in-play but completely customisable for each person. Great game especially for £5 - poor man's Demonologist
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remove the stupid AI art in the lobby. Made me wanna refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played for 20 hours now. so much fun with friends. i like this better than phasmophobia. its really not confusing like some others claim.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love showing Sketchy's to others! Love that game! Thanks @llumyne.bsky.social @fc-kenzie.bsky.social @messymaettv.bsky.social and Bear for playing! The small Ghost Watchers session was nice too! We raided into some BG3 action with @stellakirivt.vtubers.social and her crew! Go enjoy her stream!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun to play, I recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the worst slot machine ever
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →phasmophobia but way harder
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game fun and more interesting than phasmophobia
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you do not have a fascination with ghost hunting, nor a fundamental understanding of the lore, equipment, etc., all you get from this “game” is a massive headache and the knowledge you wasted however much you paid, I do not recommend this (yes, I barely played and that is only due to the fact the tutorial is confusing and unhelpful).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiplayer plain doesn't work for me. I spent 15 minutes with my buddy trying to join up in a lobby and we couldn't get anything to work. Lobby code, steam invite, lobby list, nothing works.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Phasmo rip off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has really cool looking ghosts, it progresses pretty cool for new players, but still requires around 3 games to mostly understand the game. The ghosts having special powers leads to planning, aka. finding the magic mirror before materializing the ghost, or if u want to make the game more of a challenge: limit your spendings (so having to play pretty safe), playing with brightness of about under 50% (which makes the game scarier / harder), etc. I, myself, i only just got lv13 but i can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can only use items against ghost when they "attack/grab" you which means you're just running or standing around waiting for it to do so before you can move onto the next steps of the catching mechanic. Game feels very unpolished and rushed during the whole ghost game genre blowout. Weird acid rain mechanic which pretty much means you're dead on the outside maps when they randomly happen. There's a dragging mechanic that the ghost does which was scary, but then gets annoying and tedious. Lights…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ghost Watchers: The Aggressive Evolution of Ghost Hunting If Phasmophobia is a slow-burn detective story, Ghost Watchers is a high-stakes survival horror movie. It takes the "investigation" genre and cranks the aggression up to eleven, focusing less on hiding and more on fighting back. Why It Stands Out Catching the Ghost: This is the game’s biggest hook. You don't just identify the spirit and leave; your ultimate goal is to weaken and capture it. Throwing holy water, salt, or using…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buggy unfun mess that one useless female NPC lurking around the lobby without any voice lines or purpose was funny tho
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dogwater attempt at Phasmo-clone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent potential but unplayable due to 'lost connection to server' and falling through the map when trying to load in.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is not playable. Has perpetual "Lost connection to server" error on title screen and does not allow any actions to be taken. Tried restarting PC, restarting router, reinstalling game. Nada.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome Game! My friends and I are honestly addicted! Good job...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Genuinely like the game, the real fun part for me comes to weakening the ghost. I get to see every ghosts' unique abilities and models which makes it feel more unique than just seeing a random ghost model regardless of what the ghost is. There is a lot of text to read in order to learn the game, but I was willing to read to get a better understanding of the game. After that, the game is a lot more fun with that information in your head. A system I do like in this game is the leveling system in…

I am looking forward to being an achievement ♥♥♥♥♥ and getting all of them
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ghost Watchers. Seriously if there is AI use in the DLC/supporter edition stuff then it just raises high suspicion of failure to disclose use with the core game.
unlabelledView post →It is sadly unpolished properly and needs a lot of bug fixes, one of the most annoying bugs is that you just fall through van most of the time, really annoying. Regardless, game is fine in general with friends.
