Paranormal Hunter: A Clunky and Disappointing Experience Rating: 1/5 Paranormal Hunter, a highly anticipated game promising thrilling multiplayer ghost hunting action, falls far short of its promises. As an avid gamer, it pains me to say that this game is simply not worth the price tag at its current state. From its clunky mechanics to the unfulfilled multiplayer experience, this game is a disappointment on multiple fronts. One of the major letdowns of Paranormal Hunter is its multiplayer functionality. The inability to connect with friends in different regions, such as my case to game with my friend in Australia, is a significant flaw that severely hampers the game's potential for cooperative play. This limitation is frustrating and greatly reduces the game's appeal, especially for those who were looking forward to teaming up with friends across the globe. Even in single-player mode, the game fails to deliver an engaging experience. The flashlight mechanics, a crucial element in a...

Not even going to start playing this, as discovered on launching, the game only has snap turn, so in this day and age, that is a no no, Pathetic.
No Crouch option for VR. Tried to play tutorial. No info what so ever on whats going on. Dropped flashlight and couldnt pick it up. Went into a mission and had the same issue. This is Really Early Access. Refund Requested.
Very challenging!
Paranormal Hunter as it is now is only borderline playable. Gameplay is not scary and very easy, there are entities called 'Grudge Spirits' which as far as I have seen are the only type of enemy in the game. I have only completed the tutorial and explored a little bit through the 1st of 2 total maps. I have not tried any part of the Multiplayer aspect yet but I will update my review if I do. Here's a little 'Pros and Cons' list from my short amount of playtime in the VR and Non-VR modes. In VR (Meta Quest 2 with AirLink): The controls (while a little confusing) do actually make sense (unlike the Flatscreen ones), clicking the left/right hand analog sticks down activates/uses the item you are holding, use the left stick to move around, then you can look around with your head or by using the right hand analog stick, looking around like this however you are forced to only able to do a 45° snap turn (no current option to increase the amount of ° (Degrees) you turn and zero options for s...
