Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 36 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (69 of 73 positive).
Players find it a fun, chaotic party game great for friends and family. [1][2][3] Some reviewers note it resembles Mario Kart with a ghostly twist. [4][5][6] A few players report issues like empty lobbies or overpowered items. [7][8]

Can't recommend it in its current state. Seemed like a really good idea but with bad execution as many of the items are just too overpowered to be fun with map mechanics that also break the game in unfun ways. Unfortunately had to refund because after a few rounds with friends we quickly found ourselves more frustrated than enjoying ourselves. The game also forcibly put bots in our custom game with no way to remove …

A really fun game, great to play with family and friends. I played on PC while my daughter (9) played on her xbox. She beat me a good few times too! I recommend doing the tutorial so you can understand all the fun little features to sabotage the other players :) It's nice to come across a game that is 100% safe for the kids, but yet still a lot of fun as an adult.

Absolutely loving it. Even playing with the bots is entertaining, but obviously playing with a group of friends and getting to sabotage each other is an even greater laugh. It has some quirky aspects to it, like being able to posses a Suit of Armour and make it dance, which I appreciate as well. Lots of different boosters and abilities for each item you can posses giving it a nice variation. There are a fair few …

Really fun little indie game that's a good way to spend an hour or so with friends. The premise is that you run around a looped track while a monster chases you and your friends and/or bots. There's always 8 characters in play, but I personally played the game with a large group of friends and it was good hectic fun as sheer chaos took over, and a bot or two in the mix didn't hamper the enjoyment. Although the game …

honestly, this game was SO much better than I ever imagined going in! played this on stream with 2 friends and we had a blast for 3.5 hours, will definitely play again :D if you want the classic chaos of Mario Kart, combined with tag/hide + seek and some cute visuals + art style praying for support over the coming months ♥

94% of the 36 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Polterguys: Possession Party. The complaint that keeps coming up: some items and map mechanics feel overpowered. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun game to play with your friends. You take control of random items in the house while also getting power ups to disrupt the other 7 players you're going up against.The replay value comes in collecting candy and awards so you can boost up your level and main ability. Its like a Mario kart type of game with a ghost gimmick to hide in items and set up traps using the courses utilities.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is SO cute!! I played the demo and INSTANTLY fell in love! This is the perfect game to play with family and friends and ofc a bunch of content creators for a night filled with fun, laughs, and chaos! 10/10 DEF Recommend! Get into this game y'all. It's online multiplayer as well as couch co-op and it's avail on PS4 and PS5, Xbox, and in June the Switch folks we'll be ready to hop in! (As of this date).

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Polterguys: Possession Party is a fast, chaotic, and gleefully mischievous multiplayer party game that leans into supernatural slapstick and competitive survival rather than traditional structured gameplay. Developed by Madorium Ltd and published by Amplified Games, the game is built first and foremost as a social experience, designed to thrive in loud rooms, online friend groups, and couch-co-op environments where laughter and frantic shouting are part of the fun. It doesn’t concern itself…
