“I don't know if it had a tutorial i forgot but its pretty straight forward and fun,the fact that my voice sounds like a childs dosen't prevent me from talking and comunicating with other players due to the comunity…”
“this game is pretty fun when you dont have neckbeards and lil kids screaming in your ear about being a new player. but thats the entire playerbase, neckbeards and kids.”
“Not my style of game. Still, I rate regardless. It's good looking, creative, and a bit scary. I think the game is a bit too complex, and each game lasts a year and a half. B+ tier Fun. It's free, so no reason not to try…”

— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“It's a really fun game. If you find a good server, then you will have a blast and fun playing this game.”
— a player, Steam review · 102 hrs played“TL;DR: If you're new its worth playing if you are treating it as a fun social shooter game with some bs sprinkled in here and there, its certainly better to get into this game before it completely goes off the hinges with its feature updates. If you haven't played in a while…”
