The Only thing separating me from giving an 10/10 to this game is the fact it sells you the idea that your decisions matter, even when you are not deliberately choosing between options (like in the "don't kill nobody" missions), and pull some Silent Hill type of multiple endings, but deliver an absolutely straight forward and linear story where your choices don't matter at all (besides dying earlier and missing content and having an optional secret boss)

I also, beside understanding the appeal metaphorically and aesthetically, think the mask guys seem out of tone and misplaced, their choice and the the way they do what they do. I understand this game is deliberately not answering the questions of its narrative, and lefting a lot of room to mystery, and im ok with that. But all the other mysteries seem to have an conceptual cohesion with the general aesthetics and overall points of the narratives, and the masked guys come as out of the tone of the narrative and the concepts that it presents (besides all the death alegories and the ethical question they pose, but i'm talking more about them being mystical beings that interfer in an non mundane way)

Besides that, this game is superb in everything.

If its anything like the Closed Alpha I played a few months ago, its dogshit. Survivor gameplay is overly complicated and confusing, the camera is really weird, Killer seems to be either overpowered or weak as shit if you get matched with people decent at the game.

My main gripe out of everything is that you CANNOT PICK A SIDE. It is pure RNG who gets to be survivor and who gets to be the "Breaker" and that's stupid. Dead by Daylight actually has this right, where you just queue as survivor or killer. With this all you have is a preference. I can sort of understand it because who would want to be Joe Schmo as opposed to Cell, but that's honestly an issue with the core game concept.

Maybe I'll give it another shot at some point, but only if it goes on sale for a pathetically low price.
