This game is garbage. I have played more then enough to give it a fair shake and it never ceases to disappoint me.

Negatives:
-Match making is horrendous. It takes forever, and still somehow manages to match you with people wildly under or over your skill level
-The grind is beyond insane. And it is absolutely needed to compete at any sort of competent level
-Character traits (After grinding forever) can be shared across all chars, making the idea of individual people with strengths and weaknesses completely moot.
-The game itself is setup to basically do nothing. Half of a match is just you sitting on a generator hitting essentially a quick time event or on a hook rapidly pushing the spacebar. Put that downtime in with the massive ques and you may get 15 minutes of gameplay an hour, if that.
-The community is trash. People are not friendly and you will usually get someone who disconnects or purposefully dies immediately if they are hooked first.
-Unbalanced AF. It quickly becomes apparent that the grind is needed to basically get the top tier perks from each survivor or killer to just kind of make some god tier char. When the difference between some perks are you can loot semi faster and every person on the map is revealed to you for 15 seconds, it becomes apparent who has grinded away at the game and who hasn't.

Those are the big ones. These next ones are maybe just a me thing, but my god, does it irritate the living hell out of me

-Sound design. Sound is absolutely needed for this game, there is no way around that. Which is fine! I love using space like this in interesting ways. The problem is, it isn't very interesting. It is mostly just different sound cues for various events. Not bad, but not good. But there is a way you can hear wounded people as the killer, because the sound for survivors that are wounded is CONSTANT and can not be turned down. It gets supremely old very fast.
-Daily quests are basically needed to do any real progression in the game. However, they are bizarrely specific for certain characters and will clog up your feed with killer ones that you don't even play or ones for survivors you haven't leveled at all. Forcing you to play under powered characters or something you don't really want to do. Yes, you can cycle a single one a day, but it will just give you another killer task that you may not want to do because you only play with friends or whatever. It is outdated and poorly designed... which is basically my entire review of the game.

Pros- I like seeing Michael Myers running around... that is cool. Horror setting is something I love, which may be why I kept giving this game multiple chances. It doesn't need to be rebuilt from the ground up, but it needs massive changes to the core of the game and so many QoL updates as to make it an exercise in frustration.

Oh god, I didn't even get into the whole bloodweb thing, offerings that are just dumb, set number of items to use and equip... my head hurts.

It isn't Company of Heroes, but it also isn't Dawn of War 2. It does some things good, but it mostly feels a little inferior to the Original.

What it does superior is single player. Different mission types and Co-op makes it great experience for an RTS as I have ever experienced.

The touted up weather system is gimiky, and doesn't really add enough.

But all in all, the game is worth it.

It is Civ, the ultimate turn based game... Get it
