Halloween: The Game

good

At the time of writing this, the game still has a number of bugs, poor game balancing, and is in my opinion overpriced for what the game is and how many DLC items they already have that need to be purchased and how pricy said items are. As far as bugs go, some of the more common ones are tied to playing Michael. You'll find that NPC's will sometimes see you when they shouldn't, there's questionable hitboxes, times where you can get trapped in lit up rooms, and I've even found myself improperly teleporting to odd places while in his Shape Jump ability. I'm sure there's more that I haven't even experienced myself yet. At one point, I ended up on the roof and was unable to get off of it, causing me to have to restart (I was attempting to complete one of the campaign chapters during this). On the survivor side, things seem a lot more smooth compared to when the game launched, at least from what I've been told--I didn't have the game at that time, but I'm aware of animation changes and general movement fixes so they're a lot more evasive than I think they once were. There's still the ability to get stuck in places, or not get prompts for the various event skill checks every now and aga…

It's a a Very Good Game; But I need a few more playthru's to get better at the mechanics!

It's a decent game, but very flawed. Unless you only want to play Michael I wouldn't recommend this game. Civilian side requires huge amount of in-game knowledge, so unless to spend countless hours to be better at playing civilian then don't bother. And it's not as easy as to only chose to play Micheal either, since many players want to play as him, you are forced into long queues each time unless you use special Killer Tokens you only get by playing civilians. And to make matter worse the game is getting balanced around sweaty experienced players who already memorized every corner of the map. Civilian received a massive nerf because of how "Players were getting too familiar with gameplay loop" according to the devs, no Illfonic, it's because your game is predictable. So instead of placing possible spawn locations of escapes to balance in the map to level the playing field between experienced and newbies they nerfed 'escapes discovery distance', which is crazy. As civilian you're playing blind, the game treats you like you're supposed to know where to go and what to do.

I want a big buff oily man to dominate me

My personal game of the year. I really enjoy playing this game in both roles. I'm excited for the feature updates and I hope it stays alive for a long time !
