I wasn't really planning on making this since there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Yes I have over 300 hours as of now and will likely keep playing. Those looking to buy might ask "why did you play that much then?" but avid players might say "wow those are baby hours lmao" so there's essentially no winning for me here.

This game suffers greatly from lazy and/or incompetent developers. Due to having virtually zero competition, they thrive off what is an extremely unique and fun style of game by doing the bear minimum. Patchs are barren, and scarce, new characters are a roll of the dice if they'll be good, fun, broken, or bring an unhealthy change to the meta. People largely get into this game because they see a character they recognize, and it makes them clap, so they'll overlook the glaring problems the game has, many of which could be helped with small number changes. I'm talking changing a single number for a perk, but the devs don't care to even try. Survivor players will say it's fair and balanced yet only use the same pool of 5-8 perks out of 50+(?), and then wonder why killers play super boring and lame. Killers will use the scarce few perks that are any good for them, or even use the same, unfun to play against killers like Spirit, Hag, Clown, etc. and wonder why survivors bring tons of items and DS every game. It's not the players fault at the end of the day, it's because the game encourages ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring play styles so it's up to the players to put limitations on themselves to find fun. If you can do that, and tell yourself that there really is no win or lose state, simply just do your best, than you can enjoy this game a fair bit, but if you're looking for any sort of serious competitive play, don't bother. A 4K for the killer isn't a win, same for an escape as a survivor. They're simply just how things rolled out, many times due to little or no input of your own.

The community is largely unhelpful too. I've run into many very nice people while playing, even hopped into a few streamers chats who I was playing against and they've been nice. But for every one of those, you're going to get 50 jerk offs who think too much of themselves. Check my profile comments for examples. You get just as many sore winners as you do sore losers, and it's the easiest way to make even a victory an annoyance (to be fair, bantering back at these people is very easy to do and quite fun, then they delete their comments in embarrassment)

This game NEEDS competition to kick the developers into doing more than the minimum.
Here's hoping Monstrum 2 will do good. Check that out by the way, pre-orders are up and it's out this month (January of 2021). Monstrum 2 has come out in an extremely rough state, probably not a lot of hope there. In the mean time I'll probably keep playing every now and then. It's extremely comfy and easy for me to stream, and offers a great grind if you're like me and enjoy a good grind.

Edit: Check these videos for a good idea of what I mean by incompetent/lazy devs, they're also a GREAT laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g28KozjF0AI
