Honestly, don't mind most of the negative reviews, as they are written by people who after 2 hours finally realize what "extraction game" means and are sad that they got killed and looted, or by people that throw all their skill issues on "unbalanced" gameplay (classes, gear disparity, matchmaking).

Gear and levels for your character, which you get for just playing and farming xp, rarely play a bigger role in PVP, actually, levels don't matter at all I'd dare to say. I think that only if you jumped from lvl 1 to lvl 20, then you could probably spot a difference in game, but I doubt that as each level gives you like ~0-2 points for all attributes.

Sure, the game really isn't without flaws, far from it actually. For example, sound being kinda wacky, where you get into a situation when you're not sure if you're hearing a player or a mob, and also from exactly which direction.

So for some negatives:

[-] Sound like footsteps feel sometimes as you're in a echo chamber than in a cave/castle
⠀⠀(the maps)
[-] Mob spawns being sometimes so random that just look like an eye sore (either big ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ⠀⠀‎‎rats/tentacles with plate knights on a gothic style castle courtyard); This might be just ⠀⠀nitpick, but hey, a simple fix would be to tweak the mobs to spawn in an area with more ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⠀fitting theme
[-] Rather small pool of items as there are just rarities for armor types (cloth, leather, plate) ⠀⠀and altough each tier looks and is named different for either armor type, it gets stale after ⠀⠀some time and after a while, you're mostly looking just for different enchantments and ⠀⠀bonuses on those items, rather than being surprised and hit with a more shiny variant
⠀⠀‎(could just be a nitpick too)
[-] Spell system (as opposed to something like Dark and Darker) - I'm just not a fan of it and ⠀⠀think it could be better, that's all.

That would be all I noticed and dislike about DB, but as I've also played Dark and Darker before, I can clearly state that I like Dungeonborne a lot more for the following reasons:

[+] Better PVP and combat overall (it's not just M1 spam and hitting a mob/player actually has ‎⠀⠀weight to it and doesn't feel like I'm hitting them with a paintbrush)
[+] Mobs are more interesting and won't just kill by swarming you as they glitch you through ⠀⠀‎the roof
[+] Maps + the game's mechanics are just more engaging imo

Skvělý příběh, nejvíce se mi líbila ta schizo pasáž, kde jsem mohl ustřelit tomu černému nevlídnému občanovi hlavu a stát se tak rangerem.

Absolutní pecička. Moc se u této grandiózní videohry bavím, když zrovna dostávám headshot přes tři stěny s jednou propálenou hořákem od mého kolegy, skrz sklo a ještě k tomu z brokovnice co vypadá jak z reklamy na Nerf pistolky.

Vzhledem k tomu, že tuto absolutně seriózní recenzi píšu jen po 112 odehraných hodinách, si myslím, že dementů potkám ještě dost, ale už teď dokážu říci ze zkušeností, že Duha Šesti Šulibrků Tomáše Klancířského opravdu nepostrádá mentálně postiženou komunitu, která je plná košťat a všelijaké havěti, co to hrají jako bez monitoru, myši, klávesnice, sluchátek i rozumu.

Sice tu každý druhý hraje jak vlhká igelitová taška IV, ale i přesto tuhle videohru vřele doporučuji. Dokáže totiž vyvolat pocit bezmoci a chtíče ukončení sama sebe i u toho nejvíce šťastného člověka na planetě.

Good concept, bad execution. Phasmophobia isn't worth it any time soon.

-As for the review:

>Things the game provides you for your thrill, enjoyment and entertaintment are as follows. First are the game's actually decent mechanics and features. By mechanics I mean setting up and using your equipment to identify evidences, turning the lights on/off for noticing differentiating ghost's acts, making use of cursed objects, hiding, etc.
By features I mean things like ghost goes BOOO, scary noises, singing, reactions caused by the cursed objects and some flickering the lightbulbs on/off. These things outline the general image, spookiness and fame of this game, although decently put and made, they get less and less engaging and fun as the play time goes by. The only other thing that give you some sort of enjoyment and sense of an ''objective'' is the equipment, and that's what Phasmophobia circles around the most.
The usage of various equipment and the random cursed objects like a voodoo doll get repetitive quickly though.

>In Phasmophobia, the only thing you really do, is play ghost hunting sessions for the sole purpose of earning money which just means buying more equipment that is needed for next session but as I already said, this is just the only thing your really do.
The progression in this game is just playing, earning experience to buy new equipment, which again, is bought by the small dose of money you just earned after sweating your balls and dying pathetically in a closet right after you thought you are completely safe from any devious ghost lurking outside.
Aside from the new equipment which still lacks in numbers even after 2 years, are maps.. Some maps have poor optimalization even though the game looks like you could run it on a toaster.
For example, on one particular map after a whole year of it being released and and multiple forum discussions later, you are still sentenced (most likely) to experience lack of stable framerate, which sometimes fixes after you enter certain parts of the building which makes no sense.

~That would be all the main points I wanted to cover. Aside from them, there's also a supposed problem with a dumb report system, because it causes random perma-bans which you can supposedly, appeal for by going on their Discord and "begging like a dog".

Another thing I noticed as I continued to play this game is that the updates (just bug fixes most of the times actually) lack depth, aren't frequent (only big content update is around Halloween) and there are like 1-2 maps a year.

~My hopes for this game:

>As i pointed out at the very start, Phasmophobia has a good concept that has got a lot of recognition, mainly on Twitch and plenty of clout, but the devs seem to ignorantly put dumb sh*t in this game because I assume they can't handle the pressure which means the execution and development sucks.

>If we were to ever get a normal lead developer that doesn't have 1 finger stuffed in his rectum, I'd hope for new gamemode in which you don't gather evidence but actually cleanse the ghosts, exorcist them.
Another stuff i'd like would be fixed wacky animations (like the down's like walking and holding an item), more maps of course, more interesting and pleasing equipment choices.

*Might get updated if I were to notice better future for this game or if I re-visit this review and find myself doing some spelling mistakes (sorry for that btw.).

Stopped playing this game because of the lack of updates or care from the devs. Also, one night this game and it's community had me crying in disgust. What happened is pretty simple, I went into some pubs with my 2 friends and found a match late at night, great! Until it wasn't..

Turns out, these like 5 randoms we met in the game were together in a party and what else, they were also griefing and insisted on just skipping nodes and kept insulting us in chat for just trying to have fun and play the game how it's supposed to be played. What I understood after this mess is that from their standpoint, this game has no meaning and it's just repetitive and random.
Which to some extent, I agree with this because the game is indeed repetitive and lacks mechanics that take actual skill in deduction on who the hackers are. The core mechanics of the game like constantly checking the damn voting history is annoying as hell with the combination of playing pubs where most people just don't think and you feel like the only person that tries to use logic instead of just ''hahAAa, omg he sussy, let's vote this guy because he doesn't talk too much/talks waay too much''. So yeah, apparantly losing your mind and trying to talk random oxygen wasters into playing instead of idling is SUS and you get outcasted.

TL;DR: Game itself and it's community made me realize how stupid and lacking this game is. Play something like GGD, it's way better although it doesn't have the cool cyberpunk theme which is the only thing this game has to it.

In all honesty while being as objective as i can, i must say that this game has a ton of potential to become more entertaining.
As it is now, this game features some perks to play the game that don't really add much to the infinite loop of going into buildings, looting everything, finding repeating models on zombies, getting Stalker on your booty and then repeat.

Can't recommend this as of right now when devs just straight up throw into your face microtransactions after a year of you breathing copium that they'd do something with it, or them slapping new guns and boss into your face for just 1 month and then continue sucking each other off.

Docela zábavná hra, multiplayer tam není zlý pokud nepočítám ruské děti které střílí do všeho co se hýbe, i když mají třeba za úkol takového člověka dovést k východu.

Doing a second review because I found a solution to the problem with mic and sound in game.

Anyways, I just wanna say that this game is truly well made and fun. All I can point as negative with this game is the still lasting problem I made my negative first review about, basically, few of my friends had a problem that made them not being able to hear anybody and nobody being able to hear them either, which was technically fixed and all we had to do was just turn off Discord before joining a lobby. The bug is still there tho, but whatever.

Pretty sure i can reccomend this game now, It is 5 times better than Among Us in terms of literally everything.

Radši bych to nikdy nezapl, plýtvání času pro lidi co mají aspoň trochu života a duše pořád v sobě.
