Revising this review again cause sure why not. More surv nerfs to the point where this game isn't even fun to ♥♥♥♥ around with anymore killers sweat like it's some esports tournament, I refuse to ever do solo after how hard the nerfs have been only hardly playing with a full stack. The most recent update I think finally did it in, I'm uninstalling this game. I'm just not having fun anymore, this base is toxic. My life has improved playing literally anything else, it used to be my main game but I can't anymore, if you aren't a masochist don't even bother picking this game up the devs don't care and have the dumbest takes. I say this as I often don't complain about devs I feel bad most devs get abuse from their players but this one deserves it tbh. The only reason this game is alive is because the sheer amount of exclusive content of Res Evil, Hellraiser, Halloween etc the devs got license to, the fact they really don't have a lot of competition. If you are a new player don't even bother it will take you too long to get good enough at the game to not get tunneled and camped out (unless you don't like playing the game for the first hundred hours or so). I have stopped bringing in friends or anyone to play this game because I simply cannot in good faith ask them to try when the killer slugs everyone to BM and they are still learning the ropes, or end up on a hook/dead most of the game. The only time I'd say sure go for it is Kill Your Friends as a party mode with a group of 5 but I ask you to reconsider giving these devs anymore money either. Don't waste your time go play any other game who respects it's player base and don't actively try and promote toxicity with an us vs them mentality. Playing killer isn't a walk in the park either but right now neither side is just fun it's nothing but sweating and toxicity. I can't even manage to get high and play with friends and have fun anymore, this game has gotten worse every year, all the devs know how to do is nerf perks or killers into the ground instead of buffing any other perks or making anything not OP or completely useless there is no inbetween. Want a community that loves it's devs and the devs love their game go play Deep Rock Galactic, I will stan that game it's everything DBD is not, it is fun, the devs care, awesome and wholesome community.

This used to be a good game. Now anytime survivors get a semi decent perk it's nerfed into the ground because killers whine they mom doesn't love them if they don't get 4k every match. I have played killer too it's not hard to get a few kills each match using basic mechanics like tracking god forbid you learn to play people, I've gotten immensely better as a killer by learning to play survivor and how survivors think and act. I don't expect to survive every match or get kills every match but I like to have fun, but it doesn't become fun when you get tunneled or camped the whole match. Sure running a killer around is fun until they put hook spawns closer, made pallets spawn further away, add aura seeing perks for killers for just about everything, now several exit/exhaustion blocking perks god forbid I wanna escape can't use a window, or my lithe/dead hard/etc so now your only choice is to walk away from a killer that walks faster than you and is gaining bloodlust.

Killers all ♥♥♥♥♥ and whine and cry literally wanting to remove SWF (I hope they do remove it so it can kill the game and watch as killers wait even longer between matches). Stealth isn't a thing now really might as well run across the map, oh and all the mori perks those are awesome nothing like being killed instantly after your first hook (but decisive strike was op and apparently still is, and so was meddle of man now they are basically useless). Killer is ok but not a ton of skill is involved anymore when perks basically scream at you where someone is, a couple of tracking perks you'll see every so often killers run. I haven't really seen a survivor meta perk build I've seen some common ones but nowhere near as common as a killer meta. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when damn near every killers runs same perk all the time you can basically count on altering gameplay around those perks, bbq and chili, noed (let's reward killers for not killing anyone all game but being able to escape one chase with Decisive strike was too much and apparently game breakiing).

I don't play killer all that much because I prefer to play with my friends but playing as a killer isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be playing as a survivor sucks ass sometimes you have a fair match with a few deaths few runs other times you get stomped, but it is common to get really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ matches, where a killer tunnels and camps you so now you spend the entire match hanging from a hook and dieing only to be called trash at the end. I would get fun matches where all 4 players died and it wasn't so bad but now it's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it's not even fun anymore.

I've put a lot of hours in but I cannot take this game anymore it's becoming more toxic as the community grows larger, where all they want is to sell killer dlc and people ♥♥♥♥♥ survivors didn't start on the hook for them. Hell survivors can be toxic too some are asshats to the killer (no looping isn't toxic it's our only defense what else do you expect you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stealth, the game can go from fun to boring as soon as a killer decides to be a douche), others sandbag you by running a killer over you, they drop pallets in your face so the killer can whack you, etc survivors aren't innocent but atm they have the ♥♥♥♥ end of the stick. I don't regret my early hours of play through as it used to be a fun game now I get FUN BUGS SUCH AS NOT GETTING TO USE ANY ABILITIES, INCLUDING E PERKS, AND OTHERS SUCH AS HEALING... ANYTHING, BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! STRUGGLING! That's all fun going into a match and being completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over and losing a rare item or getting moried about instantly.

♥♥♥♥ this game ♥♥♥♥ the community it used to be good I still love this game it holds a special place as I've met friends through it and had many laughs but it's utter and complete ♥♥♥♥ now it's not fun anymore to be a survivor killer yeah esp cause you get to join in about ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about survivors and suggesting how to nerf a survivors perks that don't let you get 4k, you can be a totaly douche nozzle and hold matches hostage!

I don't recommend this game anymore don't give them anymore money play literally anything else. I may come off as a salty survivor but I've played killer I like tracking and stuff but it's not super prevalent most common now is just getting an aura around a survivor for just about anything (waiting on the one that shows you a survivor as they walk or breath), it's just trying to play with friends is ass anymore since most of the game is "balanced" (if you can even call it that) around a 4 stack but there is no voice chat or dedicated servers and even then it's ass. That ♥♥♥♥♥♥ killer with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ internet, oh yeah that man is gonna have a field day with you his hits will register when you're clear across a map hopping a window and pallet stunning his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ right! When your perks activate but like don't that's so fun watching you activate a perk and it does nothing!

Revised cause steams asking, it's still ♥♥♥♥ and still toxic it's the only game really that does this type of genre so it's addictive but it's still ♥♥♥♥, it just has no competition.

Steam asking again, no still whining killer mains even more surv nerf, I have played both sides and neither side was fun but ya devs lets over correct to killer side because they just cry all the time. I'm addicted to the game and I hate so, but I hope one of these times I uninstall it for good, don't waste your time. This game requires too much investment to not get steam rolled by a killer, 200 hours ahh look a baby player, I have 1k hours I still find people with way more hours than me. Don't even bother let this game die like it belongs.
