Dev team is atrociously unproffessional on social media, completely unwilling to take criticism from their community which is why they've lost over 90% of their playerbase on a massive IP in 4 months. DLC characters are game breaking to get you to buy them for their ridiculous cost ($20 for 2 characters, half the price of the game itself), and DLC cosmetics are lazy, bland, and overpriced. The game was fun on release, had it's issues but they were releasing near weekly updates while giving a heads up of what they're working on next. Then the updates were monthly and unaddressing of major issues like 20+ minute waits for matchmaking. Then they went on a full month holiday break 3.5 months into their rapidly declining game, they come back from break and weeks later drop a nothing burger of an update and it's apparent that they aren't trying to make this a fun game anymore, they're over their own cashgrab already and so am I. I was ready for a F13 replacement and the devs go out of their way to spit in your face while they tell you to give them more money. But I guess they need more money to keep buying those 70s fashion magazines off ebay.Show moreShow less
It's like Dead by Daylight but: Instead of doing Generator's, victims are solely trying to escape Instead of trying to get the killers attention to loop them for a bit, you play a real game of hide and seek Instead of 1 killer, it's 3 killers vs 4 victims Instead of basic perk system, it has deep and varied progression So it's not really like Dead by Daylight, only in genre. If you were hoping DBD would scratch that 'Horror/Hide & Seek' gameplay loop, this is it.Show moreShow less
Devs had temporarily removed PC from crossplay because of cheaters. Punishing all PC players is not the way to go about the bad anticheat problems. After almost a month they brought it back, but it was a very negative decision to remove it in the first place.Show moreShow less

an absolute joke of a company. killed a game from one of the most popular horror movie franchises in just 2 years and now they think "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has reached its full potential" never buying another game from this embarrassment of a company who clearly doesn't care for their players.Show moreShow less

As a player who has spent almost 800 hours with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, I feel compelled to share my thoughts, especially for those considering diving into this experience. First and foremost, this game is not beginner-friendly. New players are at a severe disadvantage due to the necessity of leveling up perks and gaining map knowledge. While seasoned players enjoy the benefits of fully upgraded perks, newcomers are left struggling for at least 6 hours, putting them at a significant disadvantage from the outset. Moreover, the developers' behavior towards negative feedback is unacceptable. Instead of addressing constructive criticism, they choose to attack players on their subreddit, dismissing valuable input and fostering a toxic community environment. Another glaring issue is the sluggish pace of updates. Waiting up to two months for an update is frustrating, especially when crucial issues remain unaddressed. Additionally, the lack of communication from the developers further exacerbates player frustration and disconnect. The limited roadmap, only extending until August 2024, raises concerns about the game's longevity as a live service title. Charging $40 for a game with such a short-term roadmap feels unjustifiable, particularly when considering the myriad of unresolved issues and lack of transparency. Furthermore, the introduction of pay-to-win characters adds insult to injury. Characters like Danny, priced at $10 each, offer significant gameplay advantages, creating an uneven playing field. The reliance on such characters for essential tasks, like opening the fuse and pressure gate, further undermines the game's integrity and fairness. In summary, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game fails to deliver a satisfactory experience due to its steep learning curve, developer hostility towards feedback, slow updates, lack of communication, short-term roadmap, and pay-to-win mechanics. As such, I cannot recommend this game to others.Show moreShow less
