Surprised that nobody mentioned Doom and the gazillion spinoffs and all the craziness that followed like installing the game on the most insane things that's not designed for gaming.
I beg to differ regarding Phasmophobia. Yes, ye can work in teams or solo to ID the ghost haunting the location. However ye DON'T exorcize the ghost. The game is purely a supernatural detective game in which you use evidences to identify the ghost. For a greater challenge, you can also try to identify the ghost purely by it's unique set of behaviours. Something FEW other ghost hunter games does well, if at all.
Ultimately the goal is to gather as much evidences as possible to maximize yer cash rewards so ye can buy better equipment to more easily identify the ghosts AND ye want to survive the the session to avoid the death penalty (which cuts your rewards dramatically AND you lose all equipments you've brought into the session).
Even tho Ethan might be considered to have bad luck, he's lucky in that throughout the whole run from RE7 to the Village, he constantly gets past many various close calls that should've gotten him killed MANY times over, hr survives them all. I think the final act is not bad luck but a deliberate choice of self sacrifice to make his end mean something good for Rose.
