It has that Turtlerock Touch™, I've been playing for 22 hours now and I'm finding fresh enjoyment in every round. The characters are great, both from a gameplay and a personality point of view, and the game is very finely balanced.

There is plenty of strategy involved on both sides, and I believe the community has barely scratched the surface on the possible tactics the hunters can pull off with splitting the team. Which is done rarely but to spectacular effect when pulled off. I've seen some ballsy ♥♥♥♥, like a wraith player taking out all the survivors on Rescue after leading the hunters on a wild goose chase. I've seen some great play from some great players, this is shaping up to be a very deep game, and the promise of new hunters, maps, and monsters will only add to that depth.

I'll do a list of the pro's and con's.

Pro's:

-Very well balanced.
-Great character design
-Highly replayable
-Visually interesting maps, with good atmosphere and interesting terrain
-High strategic depth

Con's:

-Minor mouse cursor bug, which is easily worked around but is an annoyance.

There's been a fair bit of whingeing on behalf of some on the large number of DLC skin packs available at launch, as somebody who is studying multimedia development, I can safely assure you that no, they did not parcel away content from the game to sell back to you, what happened was this, for the last months of development pre-launch, half the team had literally nothing to do, these people were the artists, they can only spend so much time playtesting to help the designers balance the game, and they need something to do, so they create skins. This continues right up until the game launches, including past "content lock", a point at development (also known as Gold) where nothing is added and the game is finished, being shipped to stores or set up with Steam. There are a whole bunch of actual in game skins, at least one for each character, and the skins themselves are harmless. Overpriced, maybe, that's debateable, but harmless.

It's too early for me to tell what negatives the game will have, so this section we be revisited over the coming weeks.
