Love potion made me gay so hard for my agender spouse it's crazy

This game has potential.

Teens are pretty fun, they always have some task to do: what I mean by this is, for example, when you're in the dying state, you can release your spirit to collect tapes all over the map and these tapes gain you a recovery progress so that your teammates can pick you up faster, that's way more engaging then, let's say, what you're doing in Dead by Daylight (just hold m1).

However, the monster role feels way more stressful and way less rewarding, especially less fun (even if you win!). I'm quite a nervous person and even in DBD during its worse days in terms of balance the killer role was not giving me that much mental pressure. A lot of people in the community seem to agree with that sentiment and therefore the queues are quite bad for teens. I remember waiting from 5 all the way to 20 minutes for a dead lobby. I did really enjoyed the Doll master though since he involves way less "hugging the wall until they ran out of ammo" and more skill, set up, + his traps are not annoying and can be dealt with from a teens' side, If we will compare this aspect of this game to DBD's implementation, in my opinion, killers with the trap-related abilities were the most boring ones to play AS and AGAINST, but since in this game you are able to hurt the monster, I think they're genuinely fun since there's a pretty interesting back and forth with weapons, in DBD you just hold W and that's it, since the pallets/windows are your only defense mechanism and they're useless in a good trap set up.

The game's balance is definitely better than in DBD, BUT I'm not really a competitive person and the fun comes before balance to me, that's why imo Dead by Daylight is more appealing, despite how at the times ridiculous it gets. Most of the monsters are just not fun, Hellbent needs to either change their abiities to be more engaging and skillful, more resilient against weapons that requires smarter approach rather than "hugging the wall", as I said before, or to completely change the core monster gameplay if they want to leave these monsters as is. I don't have a good suggestion but hopefully they will figure it out.

I will say though, this game works since day 1 launch of Early Access on GNU/Linux and on Steam Deck, which DBD still haven't enabled the support for with their EasyAntiCheat (it's been a one whole year since the feature announcement), so that's part of the reason why I like this game, since Linux is my primary OS. That's a major personal plus for me.

I will still leave this review as positive since when it works - it really works. I would leave a mixed review if steam would allow me to do so, though, but I really do support the foundation that Hellbent have made there.

There's absolutely no need for an invasive spyware software such as EAC for the NON-competitive "have fun with friends and community" kinda game.

You've effectively killed your game accessibility. Now, I'm not a disabled person, but as far as I understand from reviews and posts from disabled people (like this one: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/GeekButtsMuteBigTittyGothGF/recommended/438100/) lots of accessibility tools making quality of life, control and social interaction easier for disabled people was done primarily using mods (i.e. modified clients which EAC now prevents from loading). Mods provided these folks with features like advanced closed captioning, or mods for the visually impaired people, they are now practically non-existent.

I can sort of understand client-side anti-cheats in competitive games (but even then they don't really prevent cheaters from getting an advantage, in practice all it does it just makes it harder for GNU/Linux users to enjoy the game through proton) but this right here is not it.

Bad move.

Controls feel bad, but how are you supposed to have a control over anything in such a corrupt state?!

I'm enjoying this.

Интересная история и красивая игра полностью перекрывается самым тупым геймплейным решением в игре - прятки от демонов, абсолютно скучная, надоедающая и однотипная дичь, а не разнообразие. От этого отрицательных эмоций гораздо больше, нежели положительных, а вообще, автора бы этой концепции отправить куда-нибудь мучаться в зыбучих песках.

Я так и не решилась, в кого целиться.

Вот это настоящий майнкрафт в 4K
