Reseñas recientes de LightningLiner[FIN]

I was about to write a review of a game that has a decent foundation going for an absolutely awesome product. Judging by others' reviews, this game had already had a great foundation, that then got ripped out and shoved a new one in when it wasn't ready for it when everything on top was already built. Speaking of an apparent engine change to Unreal Engine 5. When I saw the price tag of 50 european buckaroonies, I would've believed it would've been worth it before.

Now, this game is ridden with bugsbugsbugsbugs bugs (not the enemy though that is also plentiful, sometimes), network issues, enemy spawning being all out of whack and depolished gameplay (yes, DEpolished). Here is a small list of my main cruxes:
- Bug animations are extremely jittery at times, making sometimes hitting even a tiger elite a challenge.
- Movement is extremely jittery aside from just walking on bare ground.
- After a couple months of playing this, switching weapons while aiming down sight STILL decenters the weapon.
- Some missions, bugs just don't spawn during hold objectives.
- Other missions, there is NO break from bugs, and not in a fun way. The bug enemy is extremely dangerous in this game aside from the drone. If you get a mission like this with a tiger elite pack modifier, its joever.
- Can not change loadout or class midgame. If you take the engineer with a flame thrower and you end up on the volcano map with fire warriors which are immune to fire because you chose quick play instead of picking a specific mission, you'll be using your secondary the rest of the game.

This is but a glimpse to the bug horror of the game, in both senses of the sentence.

This game was and could again be amazing, and it is so easily attainable which makes it so terribly frustrating. The main problem isn't even a lack of content. Don't get me wrong, there isn't much, but there is more than enough game hours to be had from it. If the prevalent parts of the gameplay were just fixed, I would not regret the 50 doubloons I paid. Is the price still steep? Absolutely, no doubt about it, but I can find the appreciation of what the game is trying to be. This, however, is not an excuse for most, and absolutely can not recommend it at this time.

Check-in again in another year, when the game will most likely be in one of the following three states:
- There is more content but the jank remains.
- The game has been polished and is enjoyable to play.
- The game is dead.

DO NOT PURCHASE

Now excuse me as I continue playing it.

I like game. I gib money. Simple as.

They tried to cancel culture this game. Instead. He just got free advertising for a great game. I could not give 5 ♥♥♥♥♥ if the dev was toxic or not the game is good and that's all that matters. You don't have to follow the social media and you can just live under a rock and have fun.

THIS GAME IS BROKEN ATM

The cannibal is OP with his chainsaw attack (It's almost just an upgrade from the Hillbilly the only thing taken away from you is the fast af sprint but you still get a speedboost) that can kill multiple survivors FOR 3 SECONDS! THAT'S A LONG TIME FOR THIS GAME WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SAVE A PERSON ON A HOOK. The Trapper, Wraith, Nurse are good and balanced and the Huntress. Eeeeeh debateable maybe her axes hit box is a tad too big, but the DLC killers Cannibal, The Shape, The Hag and maybe the Doctor are just so OP. Also one of the maps has a place that you can get stuck. and it seems so stupid too you jsut walk in between to a rock and an object and you kinda just like plop into it and then you cant get out.

WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR BALANCE

Cannibal needs a nerf to its chainsaw time or the speedboost needs to be removed or nerfed. For the Shape you shouldn't be able to store the meter and it's not STALKING because if a survivor is watching back at The Shape about 10 meters away it's just watching not stalking. He needs to either not be able to store the meter or he needs to be doing ACTUAL stalking which means looking at the survivors while they are not aware of you. The hags teleportation range to the traps is way too far and she can place too many of them. I think something like 7 would be better. AND NO! YOU CANNOT GO AND TELL ME THAT I NEED A FLASHLIGHT TO DESTROY THE TRAPS! YOU CANNOT GO AND SAY "oh you don't have a flashlight? well too bad The Hag is your killer today." AND HAVE AN ITEM BE THE COUNTER FOR ITS TRAPS THAT I'M MOST LIKELY NOT GOING TO HAVE! you should be able to AT THE VERY LEAST COVER THE DARN TRIANGLE WITH SOME MUD OR COVER IT SOMEHOW! The doctor is some what debateable too. I mean are you serious? Madness I starts from the verymoment you are even near him? And I think you should be able to snap out of it on Madness II already, because in madness III it's too late already.

WHAT MADE THE ORIGINAL KILLERS SO GOOD

They always had a tradeoff or a counter. The Trapper used traps that he had only 5 of in the entire map and 1 in his hand. So what could you do to counter it. Either snap the traps so they are disabled until the killer arms them again or you could sabotage them so they were rendered useless and they are so well littered around the map so it's hard for the survivors to find them at all. The wraith has a cloack and can't attack or interact while he is in it, but you could still see the cloacks shimmer and if he was nearby even hear him. Not just that but you could shine the flashlight anywhere on his body and that would stun him. So even if you didn't have the flashlight it was still nice and balanced. The Nurse GETS STUNNED WHEN SHE TELEPORTS 2 times. Wait... 2 TIMES! So apparently they buffed her because before she could only teleport once and that was enough to stun her. But she can chain 3 teleports so why? They made her easier to play and therefore more powerful. On the original Nurse the survivors were baking on the mistakes or predicting the killers teleports but now it's only true on longer range. 1 wall between you and her? You are done. She was just fine before. Hillbilly is ok maybe he can move too fast while holding his chainsaw charge but he's fine otherwise. And his counter are walls and trees and other objects because if he hits them he has to recover which wastes time. Which means you can play against him by staying in ruins and other structures and in thick forests.

REALLY?

AND FINALLY PERKS THAT CAN LET YOU SEE THROUGH WALLS? I can take the perk that lets you see the survivors in dying state BUT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE HEALING IN A CERTAIN RANGE OF YOU IS NOT GOOD! ITS LIKE THE SURVIVORS DONT EVEN HAVE A CHANCE ANYMORE THERES NO ESCAPE! IF YOU HEAL YOU ARE DEAD IF YOU DON'T HEAL YOU ARE DEAD ANYWAYS CAUSE THE KILLER ONLY NEEDS TO HIT YOU ONCE AND YOU ARE DONE THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF YOU ARE THE LAST ONE ALIVE! *inhale* *exhale* ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that was a pickle. I could maybe let them slide if they were add-ons or offering but as a perk? Never.

TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY

I would say not right now. The developers are getting money hungry. So they weren't before? NO! When you played the game when it had only 2 or 3 killers. You could enjoy the game very well. And thus you would see what love the developers had for their game. Now I'm not saying that adding DLC killers is a bad thing. They jsut made them too powerful and thus pay2win. The matchmaking sucks too. well kind of. If im rank 18 while a survivor and i get paired with a rank 16 who has all the best perks and they are max level? Whats the point of this? Aren't ranks supposed to show you how good you are at the game when now you look at the scoreboard at the end of the match the dude is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rank 17 with 4 perks maxed out. It doesn't feel to show your skill level when the killer can just have the best perks and wreck the survivors while the truly low rank survivors don't have ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I still gave my recommendation for it because it is still fun but it has many frustrating moments and it has incredible potential which it was when the game was originally released.

Oh and btw. They still haven't fixed the issue with struggling when you are on the hook where it kills you even when you are pressing space or whatever you have binded it to.
