Niestety, ale nie polecę tego remake'u. - Sterowanie jest wonky - zdecydowanie lepsze w oryginale. Pewne mechanizmy sterowania zostały zamienione na nowe - gorsze. - Grafika zbyt podkręcona, niezoptymalizowana. - Model Battle Pass? DLC? Mikropłatności? No, thank you. - Wygląda to bardziej jak fanowski projekt niż pełnowymiarowa gra. Ghost Master (oryginał) to jednocześnie moja ulubiona, nostalgiczna gra dzieciństwa z wyprzedaży w Biedronce. Tutaj niestety to wszystko nie ma sensu, a dodatkowe rzeczy nie wnoszą nic sensownego.
Very happy with the updated content as well as the original game which I have been in love with for over 20 years.
В старую версию играл раза 4 и долго думал, стоит ли брать эту. Очень настораживали свежие отзывы с попадающимся негативом. Итого скажу, что по скидке брать точно можно. Поклонникам оригинала точно зайдет т.к. в игре куча плюсов: --- Обновленная графика. Да, может и присутствуют нейросети, но смотрится точно приятнее оригинала. --- Новый способ прокачки с деревом навыков и валютой в виде тыкв. Лучше играешь - больше тыкв и быстрее открываются бафы и усиления. --- Вырезанный контент и новые Главы! После завершения привычных Глав оригинала вас ждут новые миссии, а также призраки и контент. Ну и не забываем про бесплатный DLC-контент. --- Есть русский язык и субтитры. Из минусов: --- Глюки интерфейса (типа мигания значков у призраков) и менюшек (например, трудно было настроить разрешение экрана). --- Корявый перевод новых миссий (он отличается, а часть текстов не переведена). Основные миссии прошел и на текущий момент переключился на новые. Никаких багов в самой игре не встретил, все призраки освободились, никто не застревал и не глючил. Очень надеюсь что игру отполируют и она станет отличным "воскрешенным" проектом. Сейчас критика, во многом, обоснованная, но и фанатам кайфануть точно получится. Игру купил с целью поддержки инициативы, и заодно пройти этот шедевр еще раз.
One of my all time favourite games brought back to life and with new levels what more can a giant kid want
Is it true?! The classic ghost game returned?! I can not tell you how much I LOVED this game. Owning a physical PC copy decades ago, and picking it up again when it became digital a remaster I thought was never going to happen because of how obscure the game is. I did not hesitate to grab it at full price. Now, there are two very big negatives this has going for it. The first: Unreal Engine 5. Games that use U.E.5 need to come with a disclaimer because the engine is AWFUL, even when it runs smooth and works your PC will CHUG, welcome to your new airport in your own home. Also pre-made assets, this I do not mind as some of them actually give a face lift to the original and help it. The second: Generative A.I. It's easy to spot but they have worked with the AI to make it have that old school feeling with a graphics update. If you are so against GenAI in games then avoid this entirely. But if you can look past this, this has been kept in its almost original condition. Besides these two issues, the game itself? It's nearly a perfect one-to-one recreation of the original, and even has the option to use the original soundtrack. The opening cutscene is the original cutscene only stretched out for widescreen. The voice lines are the same and the files are from the original as well. The only thing I have noticed that has been cut is the female voice over when visiting the Ghoul Room. Speaking of the Ghoul Room, you now have upgrades! Yes, that pumpkin score now offers you pumpkins to upgrade some effects. Such as giving a certain percentage more terror, or believe. A nice addition to help clear levels faster as some levels in the original could take far too long. They also have put in all new levels with a roadmap for even more! The season pass I grabbed as well because if there is one thing I always wanted, it was more Ghost Master! If you love the original you will love this. It's fresh, the updated graphics are beautiful keeping a serious tone while also a comedy cartoonish style as the original had. The ghosts are back, and they have been undying to get back into Gravenville! Ghost Master, go and scare!
A bit wonky here and there, but still great!
Gioco indimenticabile, ormai faccio i livelli a memoria ma va bene lo stesso perché è troppo divertente. Assolto relax, a parte gli ultimi livelli che sono impegnativi, divertente anche sbloccare tutte le magie e cercare di finire tutti i livelli con 3 zucche! Hanno aggiunto dei bonus spendibili! Meccanica interessante :)
As a fan of the original, I was thrilled to dive into *Ghost Master: Resurrection*, and I'm happy to say it doesn't disappoint. This remastered version fixes many of the bugs that made certain missions frustrating in the original, while the enhanced visuals help the game shine on modern hardware. I actually discovered the original *Ghost Master* by chance at a thrift store, complete in its original box. I'll admit, a title like *Ghost Master* made me skeptical at first, but it quickly became one of those hidden gems I couldn't believe I'd overlooked. The gameplay reminds me of *Haunting Starring Polterguy* on the Sega Genesis, while the art style and atmosphere evoke *The Sims: Bustin' Out*. The result is a delightfully spooky world that's equal parts strategy, humor, and nostalgia. As the Ghost Master, your job is to recruit and command a variety of unique ghosts, each with their own supernatural abilities, to complete a series of increasingly creative missions. Success isn't just about causing chaos; you'll need to think strategically, combining different hauntings to frighten specific characters and accomplish multiple objectives. One of my favorite missions has you clearing a sorority house by terrifying its residents, all while working around a coven of Wiccans they've brought in for protection. It's a perfect example of the game's clever mix of puzzle-solving and comedy. Beyond the gameplay, *Ghost Master: Resurrection* is packed with pop culture references, memorable characters, and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that gives it plenty of charm. Whether you're revisiting a cult classic or discovering it for the first time, this remaster is an excellent way to experience one of the most original strategy games ever made. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something fun, quirky, and unlike anything else.
Мне тут попалась в распродаже старая версия игры, начал искать и нашёл переиздание, был приятно удивлён. В своё время не закрыл гештальт последней миссией. Это была психушка и помню, что были люди в каких-то комнатах и пугать их нельзя никак было, некуда привязывать призраков, только к какому-то из врачей и как-то сделать так чтобы он на этот этаж зачем-то пошёл, какой-то жуткий рандом. но это было в далеком детстве может это просто я тупил) Что же по игре люди пишут про какой-то ИИ не знаю и голоса и модельки монстров перерисованы и даже если и ИИ я каких-то минусов не заметил явно лучше чем 20 летней давности. Геймплейно есть разные школы призраков (земля, эмоции, сон, электричество и тд.) И вот выходя на очередную миссию ты выбираешь, только часть из них, чтобы выполнить поставленную цель и это не всегда напугать всех до усрачки. Например сделать так, чтобы люди нашли трупы в доме. И вот взаимодействуя различными призраками можно как-то влиять на окружение, чтобы пройти миссию или освободить нового призрака. До сих пор интересно этим заниматься, я рад переизданию. У призраков есть различные способности и можно их улучшать. Из нового завезли ветку талантов, что для меня тоже плюс, так же вижу начали добавлять новые карты пока не оценивал, но больше контента это тоже всегда плюс. В целом, если вы не чураетесь инди игр, данная игра, тем более за такую цену (500р) стоит вашего внимания, а если вы застали её в детстве, то провести пару вечеров ностальгии, однозначно стоит.
UE5 really does not do Ghost Master any favors - My graphic card is reaching 80°C while the graphics are basically same as 20 years ago, just with better resolution and upscaled textures. I managed to somehow softlock the last mission of Act 3 at least 5 times, in 3 completely different ways. The game is noticably easier than the original thanks to some AI fixes. Newly introduced passive and global active skills for the ghost master are making it even too easy. I'd probably forgive all of the above if not for AI usage. The game works fine (when it doesnt bug out), sounds well and it's mostly as fun as in my childhood. But it's better to just get the original which is also available on steam for 1/4th of the price of Ressurection - and then slap some mods onto it.
