Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord review

Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord is the pick for anyone with a Meta Quest headset, because it is the only game here where you physically aim the Proton Wand and wave the PKE Meter. nDreams designed it for VR, and the Meta Store lists single-user and co-op modes, with squads of up to four players who revive each other with a high five. The Frozen Empire update added missions across New York and San Francisco, a visit to the firehouse and calls from Ray Stantz, played by Dan Aykroyd. On Meta Quest 3, Mini-Puft Mayhem uses mixed reality to put the creatures in your living room. The base game costs $29.99 and the Full Containment Edition bundle $46.99. It needs a Quest 2, 3, 3S or Pro, an internet connection and 8.05 GB of space. Its 4.0 store average comes from 707 ratings. We compared store listings only.
