While I generally love this game, I have a few warnings to those who are interested in buying it.

The community can be toxic as hell. There's three basic types of toxicity.

New players who are uninformed (not your fault) who do things the community considers bad manners.
Experienced perfectionists.
People who enjoy other's suffering.

Higher learning curve than some expect.

Learning survivor and killer perks is important regardless of what you main.
Common tactics to avoid getting downed or looped.
Prioritization/situational awareness. Where is everyone, what are they doing, what should you be doing?.
Community slang.

Matchmaking leaves a lot to be desired.

Inexperienced paired with experienced... but in a "one gets dunked on" arrangement, not teaching.
Sometimes (often) seems to be under the influence when making lobbies.
wait.... ...... .............. .......................................... ....... times............................. ....... ............. ........ .... .....

HOWEVER, there's some pretty nifty things....

DLC characters can be unlocked through gameplay.

It takes 9000 iridescent shards, which are gained through leveling one's account up.
The Shrine of Secrets changes every week, and potentially has perks from DLC characters available.
Folks who can't afford DLC can still get the characters & perks.

Friends not required but make experience better.

No in-game voice chat for survivors, some use Discord instead.
In-game emotes used to communicate, as well as crouching.
Relatively easy to find new friends if you're nice, most people who play survivor want full SWF crews.

Replayable

Wide variety of maps, characters, perks.
Opportunity for a wide variety of play styles.
Private or public matches for whatever your purpose, including goofing off.

Lots of shenanigans

Get waterboarded by puke
Throw a flashlight rave
Thiccness knows no morals or gender

Overall, I'd recommend. Probably about a 8.5/10. Have not pooped my pants due to this game but have come close a time or two. Thanks, Ghost Face.
