I have never been let down by a game development company so much in my life, and I used to play Heroes and generals.

The balance just doesn't exist anymore, everything survivors had going for them is just ruined. sprint burst, practically one of the most unused perks I've seen as killer besides a few people every so often yet somehow it is now the meta because the devs went out of their way to make every perk they had going for them worthless beyond a few percentage boosts here and there; the meta is literally just and only run away now.

as a killer main it's too east now, it's like the devs literally destroyed the game from the ground up to cater to the role they like to play and feel like God, but now it's so mind numbingly easy it's just not fun, no challenge what so ever. The Kpop killer, who has every right being nerfed into the ground practically out of existence instead gets a item buff this patch? the easiest killer in the game that makes people DC constantly? bro what? not to mention just the newer designs of the killers just looks like a demigorgon asset flip and a deviantart OC from 2017.

I have played this game since 2016, I told every friend about this game and bought over 7 copies for other friends who all played and loved it, and to see it just get reduced to this garbage is just disappointing.

I can go on about the newer map designs being as horrid as they are to all the changes made but honestly it's just not worth it. this honestly feels like Robocraft all over again, not to mention I'm seeing a dev in full blown drag makeup with a cheap bright orange wig and using a fake Gay accent, it's honestly just disrespectful and sad given this time a month when companies do disingenuous things like that on the daily.

I've never gone out of my way to write a review but I'm honestly just devastated what my once favorite game has become, every time I come back it just gets worse, the meta is always constantly changing to always suit the killers. it now just feels like a game with a streamer only difficulty mode so you never look dumb playing killer. I have rarely seen any nerfs for killers, and when they do, it practically changes nothing.

Edit: I later found out they use the dev streams as a way to promote the community, my opinion on Drag was not against drag itself rather against a dev impersonating it, I have later found this to not be the case and would like to apologize for that view, however I still stand with everything else and wish the devs would make it clear the dev streams are not being used as what it is, a dev stream.

The fact that you are whining about The Trickster is baffling to me, he's legit mid as a killer and this is coming from a survivor main who sometimes dabbles in killer and plays lots of Nurse/Trickster/Trapper. My number main is Demogorgon. Just hug walls dude, 95% of Trickster mains can't hit shots if you hug tight or just maneuver properly. If they camp, well then I can't say anything since he's a good killer for camping like a couple of the other killers.

Super close to removing this game from my Steam account so I can't play it anymore. It just makes me angry.

Bad networking.

Abysmal hitboxes.

Dogshit game design/decisions.

Self-pleasuring developers who give 0 shits.

They did a one-step forward, two-steps back kinda deal with the balancing, giving solos powers partied players had while taking away their survivability (Dead Hard/Decisive are almost not even in the game anymore with the nerfs). Makes playing solo surv infuriating (have to rely on morons). Seems most games even in red ranks people do nothing and it comes down to the game being held hostage to avoid the hatch opening.

I think the map changes are more important to mention though, as for me (stated in my review) the whole atmosphere changed and it doesn't feel like Survival Horror, just a competitive game with a Horror mask. Sad loss of identity.

danbrooks2k, if you just bought it how can you say "another X player?" Unqualified opinion, git gud. I got max rank with T1 Meyers only with silly perks like his 3 and Brutal Strength. That was years ago; I'd almost certainly get there again with the recent changes being in my favor as killer (but I try to make fun games for people instead).

Another entitled survivor... This is not a game where you get a perfect win every game. Playing a killer should not feel like a life and death struggle, its about the chase and thrill of the hunt. Playing survivor SHOULD exactly feel like a life and death struggle. I just bought this game during the summer sale knowing I had zero interest in playing survivor. I was met immediately with flashlight bully squads, sabo squads, and survivors that could get out of lockers, wiggle out of my grip, self heal and self unhook. A new survivor that gets paired with a good 3 man team is gonna have an easy night. A lone killer that is new is going to have a rough learning process.

I haven't complained once... I bought the killer expansion and tried the doctor. Learned how to shock and static charge and cause enough generator regression to slow down most teams. I still am lucky to get a 2k... but I have never complained once.

On top of all the game issues, the drag shit crossed the line for me too. I'm not buying a single DLC/New game from this develop until they sort their shit out both in game and irl.
