Everything about this game is under cooked. The biggest flaw is the characters/story. Characters are introduced and forgotten very quickly and any time you start to think you are getting into some part of a story through cutscenes or basic character development you find out that was the last quest involving that character. Its like the entire game was created in order to have a DLC to "finish" the massive amount of loose ends. Furthermore I find there are too many ways to 'brick' part of your experience and the only way to fix is to restart the game.

Majority of the game mechanics do not function and the servers have had massive issues delaying the release by half a week.

I do not think I will ever be able to recommend this game unless you enjoy extreme frustration. The concept of the game is great but the execution is the worst I have ever seen. The game's current format is who can be more toxic to the other team or who can exploit the games terrible design the most. The toxicity is a never ending cycle of a killer face camping a survivor so the survivor next game runs him around the map like Usain Bolt and repeat. This would not be a problem if they had the "team" of 4 survivors ranking up or losing rank based on their TEAM performance but currently you will gain little and risk losing a lot if you do work as a team. In terms of bugs and connection problems they are very present. I can't count the number of times where I have stunned the killer with a pallet and still get hit or knocked down. Furthermore there are no dedicated servers but rather killer hosted servers so with that comes a lot of desync/connection issues. This is what you can look forward to but only after you wait 15 minutes to get into a game because of constantly lobby bugs. Spend your money elsewhere.

(Edit) Returning to the game and trying it fresh after a pretty long break. Same as my last review I really do enjoy this game and its concept but there are some large issues holding the game back. My biggest issue with the game is its tick rate and the hitboxes. More often than not I will do a shoulder peak which I often do in other shooter games and when I pop back around the corner there will be a brief delay and then I will die and be told I was headshot. Also the amount of times where I have shot someone in their chest or shoulders and 1 tapped them because the game thought that it was a headshot is way too high. Also I still get frustrated that defenders can go outside without an immediate punishment of some sort (taking damage or instant notification that they are outside) but I guess that is just part of the game that I have to accept. Sadly I will not recommend this game until they fix the terrible hitboxes and tick rate because I think you can spend your money better somewhere else.
