Play as a new recruit working alongside the Ghostbusters during a supernatural mystery in New York. The single-player story follows the team as familiar characters and locations return.
Scan environments and artifacts with the PKE Meter, then use your proton pack to weaken, wrangle, and capture ghosts in traps. Different beam modes provide tools for combat and environmental puzzles.
Advance through a linear campaign featuring varied spirits, large-scale boss fights, and destructible surroundings. Earn upgrades for your equipment as you progress.
Players often enjoy the game as a story that feels like another Ghostbusters adventure, praising the returning cast, familiar humor, and atmosphere. Ghost-wrangling and the proton-pack variations are also recurring highlights. Some reviews find the combat repetitive or frustrating, and several criticize the remaster's limited changes or technical problems.
