This game has great potential and was released roughly 7 months ago. However, the lack of support for game-breaking issues since it's release makes me give it a negative review.

For starters, the Solo Survivor does not work. You must go around it by using Survive With Friends and Escape from the in-game overlay and then click Ready in order to start searching for lobbies.

After doing so, you may join a lobby, but 80% of the time you will be thrown back to a menu screen. There is a Join A Lobby button. It also does not work. If you choose it, you will get a bouncing logo, which is an endless loop that will not stop. This also applies to Quick Play at the main menu.

You cannot back out, you cannot Alt+F4. You can only CTRL+ALT+DEL and close the game manually via Task Manager. Then, you can relaunch the game and try again. So, Solo, Quick Play and Join A Lobby are broken and have been since Day 1. That was June 14 2016. It's going on February 2017. Any questions? Good! Moving forward.

Now, let's say you launch the game and select SWF (Survive With Friends). Select friends to play with or Escape out to Ready up for Solo Survival. Make sure your friends are in the party before clicking Ready or you will have to repeat the process. (Or them)
Now that you and your friends (if any) are in the party, it's time to ready up and begin searching. This is where you either wait for 6-10 minutes before joining a party or you get a loading screen that ejects you from the party and sends you back to the main menu.
Once again, you must repeat the process. You will do this 7 out of 10 times, guaranteed.

Now let's say you get into an actual lobby (hosted by the killer). You won't know who the killer is until the match is over, but that's not important. If the killer decides to not play, you will be ejected back to the main menu where the process will have to be repeated again for joining a party and a lobby.... Painful, right? There's more!

If you're in the lobby and not all people are ready, you can chat to them. Are they there? Probably not. They are most likely in the infinite loading screen (as stated above) and they do not know they are in that lobby. They cannot Ready Up.

When 4 players are present (whether they are actually there or not won't matter) The Timer will count to 0:00 and thus launch the match. If only 3 people are ready, the 4th will cause the game to show the loading screen to Ready Players until he/she is either dropped from the match or they have manually closed the game, in turn allowing the match to proceed with 3 survivors.

If only 2 are ready and the other two are on hiatus, the wait will be longer and you may even be thrown back to the main menu and have to begin the process all over again. Yes, again.
Remember the timer counting to 0:00? If all players are ready, the timer will jump to 0:05 and continue to 0:00 and the game will start. Maybe. If all players are NOT ready, my suggestion to you is to leave the lobby at 0:10 and begin searching for a new lobby all over again. Yes, again.

Isn't this fun!? I know, right? We haven't even played the game yet and we've already spent 15-20 minutes just trying to get it started!
