Bustin' makes me feel good!

In all seriousness, this genuinely puts other Asymmetrical games like DBD to shame. The bots aren't perfect, but they only frustrated me when facing the final boss; for the rest of the game and well into my post game I have played with nothing but them and it's been a fun experience.

If you're facing them as a Ghost they are rarely a challenge. depending on the Ghost you play, but I can't say I didn't lose a couple matches to them.

If there was one thing I could change about the game: I'd like difficulty options for the Buster bots like we have for the Ghost bots

Otherwise, no notes really. The game is very wholesome, and while you might see some say it lacks content, I disagree. The store page SAYS there's 10 ghosts, but in reality it's like 30, just some aren't too varied.

This is because each ghost has 2 variants to unlock, and while all variants have the same Ultimate Ability, and usually the same stats, they each have their own Unique ability which can change how you might play them, and some do even vary slightly in stats.

And there's 100 levels of customization items to unlock for busters (50 for ghosts) on top of being able to level your gear and unlock new parts and customization. Also you can reset every 100 levels for bonus cosmetics and a fresh start, similar to the prestige system from CoD (called Tenure here). Cosmetics and story stuff stay unlocked, but all gear levels, and obviously the player levels, reset.

Oh yea, the story. I won't spoil it but it's plenty wholesome, albeit a bit short (roughly 9.5 hours, not counting lore from hidden collectibles). It is exactly what you'd expect from a GB movie with all the tropes and trappings. And the bestest part? Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson voice their characters; I damn near wept when Ernie Hudson said he was proud of me.

All in all, I adore this game. So much so that when I get paid next month I'm buying a bunch of friends copies while I can still get them for $15. You should try it.
