I've tried. I've tried so hard to like this game. but it's bad. so unbelievably bad that it's just not worth the time and energy it takes to even try to get into the game. The primary loop is just that: a loop. the vast majority of your time playing the game is either A: running in literal circles over and over again until you drop a wooden pallet on the killers head and B: holding the left mouse button and occasionally hitting space bar to hit a skill check. on the killer side it's still running in circles but this time you're chasing someone instead of being chased or you're occasionally holding the space bar for 3 seconds to kick a generator.

it's mind numbing, several of the killers have absolutely abysmal designs that ruin the match just by existing, the game seems more interested in selling you DLC than anything and all of that would be bad enough but the game is also pay to win.

there are several killers and survivors that you just straight up can't unlock without spending real world money on them, and some of the perks they come with are pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ strong. meaning that you can actually be putting yourself at an active disadvantage by refusing to fork over more money. Buying the character doesn't even give you the thing though. you still have to level up the character to get the perks on your other characters. meaning that you have to pay them money to grind out a bunch of games just for the opportunity to use the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing that you just paid for. it's so unbelievably unpleasant as a system and the only reason I've played it as much as I have is that I have friends who ask me to play it.

I've spent almost 400 hours hoping that the fun part is just around the corner but it never comes. it's a mediocre game at best, full of some of the worst design decisions I can imagine for a game. The community is also one of the worst I've ever seen in all of gaming (and I used to play league of legends). I've been called slurs in this game more times in this game than I have in any game I've played in the last decade.

absolutely miserable gameplay, miserable community, a bad time overall.
