Great to spend some time.
- Bugs that crashed the save are fixed
- Performance don't seem to be a problem for me personally and it seems smooth. Can't play on Ultra and had to remove the high quality textures though but don't notice it that much.

Restarted after the 1.0 release and pumped my hours from 20 to 400 (As of the time of this review)... finished my first playthrough and am currently on 2 Servers with different friends and alltogether just having a blast.

It might get overwhelming for some so it's not everyones cup of coffee but would definitely recommend everyone to try it out at least, if it gets you it gets you hard!

Beatiful soundtrack. Beautiful game!
100% can be a bit frustrating but still relatively easy to do

Really liked the vibe and gameplay! Hope there will be more of this.
It's relatively short though. 6hrs is enough to 100% so maybe wait for a bit of a discount.

Positives:
------------------
+ Great story
+ Beautiful soundtrack
+ Graphics hold up pretty well

Negatives:
------------------
- A bit outdated of now (2022), would love to see a remake with current availabilities

Conclusion:
------------------
Still an A+ game when it comes to rpgs / story-games. It still holds up to todays graphic (well, mostly, would love to see an update to 2022-standars and immediately buy it), the sound is just plain beautiful even if you just listen to it on spotify and it has some few funny references to square enix.

Pretty great with friends

Wont even start while using a second monitor with modern hardware so yeah...

So I'm gonna preset this review with the simple question "Would I recommend that game for a friend?"

And the answer is currently (28.10.2022) a hard NO.

First off, the game itself or let's say the idea behind the game is really fun. 1v4 whereas both parties have their objectives and have to go against eachother.
But, and here's the negative first:
- The majority is too toxic, on each side of the 1v4. There's just a neverending spiral of "They hurt me so I hurt them, (S)He hurt me so I hurt him/her"
- And mostly the devs... it doesn't matter if it's balancing around your perks (loadout), the killer itself or just listening to the community... As a programmer myself this game is so damn full of bugs and cheaters and whatnot, it's just sad to see

On the bright side, the positive:
- IF you have 1-3 friends, the game can be pretty fun with em if you don't take it too serious
- if you have none, but are a sadistic person, there's the killer-role for you
- And, it's really rarely, but the positive co-survivors or sometimes even the killer can make a huge impact on your experience with this game.

Still though, overall, I really wouldn't recommend it's game until the devs get their fingers out of the ass and just be a bit more involved in the community as a whole and do their jobs

Ein weiteres Spiel, das wirklich gut werden konnte, ruiniert von beschi**enen Entwicklern.

Die Spielidee ist super, bis zu 8 Freunde kämpfen in der Arktis um ihr überleben.
Die Story selbst ist okeish, man erfährt immer wieder ein wenig und läuft von Aufgabenziel zu Aufgabenziel mit mehreren optionalen Missionen.
Ressourcen gibt es mehr als genug und Crafting- / Skillsystem ist soweit dem Spiel angemessen.

Aber, und das macht leider aus der Empfehlung ein aberdeutliches nein:
Es hat viel zu viele Bugs, wie schon mehrere vor mir gesagt haben:
- Achievements zum Teil nicht möglich, vorallem die mit dem HUB-verbundenen wohl nur Solo erhältlich
- Andere wiederum viel zu früh (Home Sweet Home bei mir obwohl nicht alles freigeschaltet, das mit allen Skills hat meine Partnerin erhalten, obwohl erst die Hälfte geskillt)
- Rausglitchen aus der Map
- Teils Nebenquests nicht machbar, da man nicht mit dem benötigten Objekt interagieren kann

Und dies alles nach mehreren Jahren, das Spiel soweit ist von den Entwicklern fallengelassen worden, damit sie sich etwas Neuem widmen können.
