Do yourself a favor and don't play it.... it will feel like a toxic relationship you can't escape.

When it’s fun, it’s REALLY fun. Chases feel intense, you try little mind games, you barely make it through a window or drop a pallet at the last second… those moments are still great. Especially if you play with friends, it turns into pure chaos in a good way. But there’s definitely another side to it. Things are far from perfect. Sometimes the game can feel pretty unfair depending on the killer or perks. Matchmaking is also weird one match feels super easy, and the next one you get completely destroyed without even understanding what happened. Playing solo is a whole different struggle too. You never really know what your teammates are doing someone goes down in the first minute, someone is hiding in a corner… and suddenly the match turns into chaos, but not the fun kind. On top of that, there’s the usual toxic behavior from some players unnecessary BM, rage quits, people throwing games… it can really kill the mood. The technical side isn’t great either. You’ll run into bugs, weird hitboxes, laggy moments, or sound issues from time to time. There are plenty of moments where you just go “how did that even hit me?” Updates help, but they don’t fix everything. And then there’s the grind. It takes time. Unlocking perks, leveling characters, building the setup you actually want… especially if you’re new, it requires a lot of patience. Plus, there’s the whole DLC and cosmetic system, which can feel like a lot to keep up with. Still, I keep coming back. There’s just nothing else quite like it. It’s frustrating, it can drive you crazy sometimes, but it’s also weirdly addictive. If you’re okay with getting tilted now and then and you like horror games, you’ll probably still enjoy it.

I come back to this game like going back to a toxic ex. Play a few games -> realise why I stopped playing -> take a break -> start missing the feeling -> repeat.

At the time of writing this, I have about 800 hours (PC + Playstation). The only reason why I am giving this game a recommendation is because this is the most sadistic, mind-boggling game that will have you playing it like a really bad drug addiction. Everyone is bad at this game, you can have 10k+ hours on this game and you are still bad. it is unbelievable what you will see in this game, whether it be gameplay, teammates, or people running meta builds terrorizing killers. You REALLY don't know how the game is going to end, this game is a video game version of a daycare center. This game is NOT beginner-friendly, you can load into a game and be put with someone living in their mom's basement running a nasa computer as your first match. But you can also play against someone who has never played a video game in their life. That is honestly the beauty of this game, the unpredictability of this game is the only fun part about it and you will probably play it until you get so mad you break something because this game is heavily unbalanced. I recommend playing this game but also a trigger warning for playing this game.👍👍

This game has easily the most hilariously pathetic community I’ve ever witnessed. It’s not even close, especially once you play killer, the mask comes off and you see what kind of fragile clowns you're actually dealing with, are you someone with an optimistic points of views towards the world and humanity? Try playing this game, if there's one thing it's amazing at, it's bringing out the worst in us, you might start to hate humanity... I started with survivor. It seemed fine. Pretty normal matches. Gens, chases, some escapes, some deaths. For a while I thought people might be overreacting about the playerbase. Then I switched to killer. Yeah. Nevermind. Suddenly every match was a parade of flashlight clicking, teabagging at every corner, whether it is behind the pallets or at the exit gates, hook dancing like it’s a school talent show, and then the cherry on top: endgame chat filled with angry essays and threats to report me because I committed the ultimate crime of... playing the game. Apparently, there’s a sacred book of rules that everyone must know. You can’t tunnel, you can’t camp, you can’t slug, you can’t hook the same person twice unless you’ve asked for permission and sent a handwritten apology. Forgive me masters! Who am I to defy you? Next time I hook someone, I’ll be sure to light some candles, recite a survivor approved chant, and gently escort them back to a gen so they don’t feel excluded. You hooked someone too efficiently? That’s tunneling. You waited near hook while three of them were circling it like mosquitoes? That’s camping. You left someone on the ground to chase someone else? Slugging. You dared to down someone in under 15 seconds? How dare you. Reported. Winning isn't allowed, or it is allowed but only in spesific conditions, those are? I don't know either, maybe true winning was the friends we made along the way... You so much as exhale at the wrong moment and it's "wow, toxic killer." You blink before they do? Reported for harassment. You play without letting them 99 every gen, unhook their friends, heal under your nose and spam emotes at every pallet? You’ve crossed a moral line, my friend. You’re the problem. The funny thing is none of these are against the rules, the devs have literally said tunneling, camping, slugging or whatever "strategy" used in order to win, is all valid, yet you can see Reddit debates about whether those are fair or not, when I play as a survivor I don't complain about how the killer decides to play, I expect the same thing from survivors too when I play as a killer, but apparently that's asking too much from crybabies with a toddler like maturity. I've been accused of tunneling in matches where I barely remembered who I hooked once. But apparently that guy with four meta perks, voice comms, a flashlight, and 3 resets somehow has the moral high ground. Incredible. And don’t think Reddit is any better. That place is a sandbox for people to roleplay as philosophers. "Here's a 900-word post on why killers shouldn't pressure gens too hard because it makes me anxious." These people are writing ethics dissertations about a horror game while teabagging you at the gate and flashblinding you mid-pickup. The hypocrisy is astonishing. They’ll use every dirty trick in the book, abuse every exploit, spam every mechanic, and then cry about "toxic behavior" because you tunneled their friend after he ran into you three times in a row like it was a social experiment. The only way to survive this game as a killer is to mute chat, never open Reddit, and treat every survivor like they’re one step away from writing a twitlonger about you. This community is toxic, delusional, and self-righteous. Amazing game but the worst community I've ever seen. Everyone playing this game is either a crybaby, a moral crusader, or an amateur philosopher trying to gaslight you into thinking you're evil for using a mechanic they don't like. And on a good day, you get all three in one post-game chat.
