Its a wonderful grind, the start is a bit slow especially if you play veteran difficulty. But it has lots of loot variety and a decent amount of customization; exactly what you want in an extraction shooter. I would love if more games were like this a pure pve extraction shooter with a distinct indicator of difficulty and reward with a loving balance between the two. Risk more for reward. Overall the game design and balancing are top tier.

So the core concept is a roguelike version of pokemon mystery dungeon. So on the upside there are many mechanics to manipulate which adds several layers of strategy to your gameplay or you can just level up a sword and shield so that you can brute force it. And the accessories and equipment can be really interesting. Such as a sword that strikes 3 spaces or a shield that fills your hunger bar when you take damage. On the negative side once you lose your top teir gear, it feels like you are trapped to some degree because the game doesn't let you freely replay the earlier dungeons. There are ways to get around it but it does kinda feel like you could easily soft lock yourself if you aren't careful. Maybe I missed something but that is the way it appears to me.

I love this game.

Pros:
Exploration- decent amount of space
Fantasy- the aesthetic is very whimsical, but without going to far
Realism- the survival and defeat scenarios give you a feel that your adventure is more than a cookie cutter experience

Cons:
Graphics- the models and textures do lack a bit of polish
Combat- the combat doesn't have much of a real feel to it, mainly the minor details like recoil and reactions to attacks
Equipment- Although there is a large array of different types of weapons there are not too many of each type and the different elements are underused.

Overall the team made an outstanding game with the limits of staffing and budget they faced. Honestly I would support Indie teams like this way quicker than triple A teams that are under large publishers thumbs. If you enjoy titles like dark souls 1 and skyrim's exploration side then this is pretty much right up your alley.

So i only played a few games. as a free to play game it isn't bad. Technically you can spend real money to unlock new weapons, so kinda falls into the pay to win aspect. The player models moved... but there wasn't any head bob or real hitbox movement so shooting the enemies players is super easy compared to a more polished game. If you want a basic call of duty for free this game is perfect, but if you are looking for a shooter with depth or a target practice game to polish your skills without ruining your K/D on PUBG, COD or fortnite... this really won't cut it. You're getting something closer to Doom 2 with aiming. Didn't really fit my needs, but as a FTP game it's basically a free counterstrike without the sweaties.

Without a doubt when this game came out it was so fun, but after all the updates and patches came out the killer is so overpowered and beyond effortless it is idiotic. I can play killer hook one person and still have over 10k. easy blood points. but on the reverse playing survivors is basically a beat down and punishment then if you want to survive with your friends its a 14 hr wait for a queue with more than 2 people. And each time I hear about a patch it just makes the killers so much more at an advantage. I really wish you could be challanged as a killer. Survivors are at such a disadvantage that if the killer can simply watch the victim its an effortless down and Iron grasp is basically a free hook. With tier 2 or better you can take a person to the basement from accross the map. And if the hooks regen then there is no effective counter to it. I hope that one day the developers pull their heads out of their asses and figure out this game is totally onesided.

so far the screen blurring is my only issue with this game, in cell block A2 it gets so out of control that I had to literally stop playing.
