my friends and I haven't played this as much as Phasmophobia BUT going from this game to phas, there's no competition! we hopped on phas after playing The other side and felt like we were playing a roblox remake. this game is SO much scarier, the graphics are amazing, and the overall gameplay is just a 10 out of 10:) We cant wait for the devs to finish all the updates so we can play even more and for even longer and...
WHAT an upgrade from Phasmophobia. I have only played a couple games and the details are just incredible. The Phasmo devs need to lock in because Other Side just did everything and more that we have always wanted. Ghost hunting is fun again!
