This game is a fun idea, but needs another 6 months in the oven. I spent 100 hours to beat the game, and the end cut scenes don't even work. Tons of bugs, flat ideas, and just a rough experience. It starts off pretty good, but this game already feels dated and was glitchy from day one.

An excellent 3rd chapter in the Ghostbuster franchise, it's still, at it's heart, a 2010's movie tie-in video game, except instead of fitting the narrative of the movie clunkily into a much longer video game, they skipped the middle step of making a movie, and made an appreciable Ghostbusters game. It's never shooting to the moon, but for what it is, it's fun!

This isn't what I hoped. I'm sure, for the target audience, it's a blast, but it's not what I wanted from all the hype that was throwing around words I like, like Survival Crafting, and ARPG. Are those technically correct? Yeah. But those terms would describe things like Subnautica, Prey, and Fallout 4, and these are about as far away from this game as possible. This feels like Diablo with the most time-wastey "crafting" mechanics flopped on top, and it's absolutely sapping any energy I had for it in under 12 hours.

You know what it is. It's good.

This game is worth a play, but it's very clear that the developers reached a little further than they could deliver on, and it ends up like a sandwich with too many toppings to pick up. They have a lot of great ideas, like the angle of riding and maintaining a motorcycle as you bike around, a rich and interesting combat system with a lot of options, and a story about characters in intense and interesting situations that makes you want to keep playing. Unfortunately, this game did not get enough time in the metaphorical oven, and it fails to fully deliver on what could have been a trilogy of great story-driven zombie survival crafting games.

This game is UNFINISHED!

It starts up pretty fun, a good idea for sure, but the development stopped before it finished. Not worth buying for much at all.

A couple years late to the party, but a generally good experience, though it has some rough patches. Worth the play, though.

A very good, free-to-play survival crafting MMO, which appears to be fully monetized through cosmetics. I never paid a penny for however many hours will be displayed on this review, and it feels like a steal.


A lot of people's complaints around this game is that their characters get deleted. That is because, instead of one, steady character across time, characters only exist within temporary servers, which play out a linear scenario over time. When that scenario is over, . You can make permanent progress in the game, but, unlike in most games, where you can set the game down for a month and pick it back up where you left off, the scenario will leave you behind, and your character will be deleted. It's like a real time based Rogue-like, if you care to think of it that way: This character will end, but you will get more tools and experience along the way to do better the next time.

If you can spend the 7-8 weeks reliably playing this game in a row, it is a great survival crafting experience. A story that drips just enough information to keep you hooked, the closest comparison I would give to this would be Palworld, if they developed the idea a little further, and it was somehow still free. Replace the Pals with not!SCPs, and write a story about an invasion by another realm into a seemingly modern world, and give the crafting system a few more layers of depth, and it's in the right ball park.

And that was enough for me. Kept me going for a few weeks now, and I think I'll pick it up again later, when I have more time, but not freak out that my character was destroyed.

A great, giant RPG!
