This is a spectacular game. It really is. It is fun and really cool to see both historical ships and not so historical ships blast away at each other. It's fun for strategy taking things like angling, armor class, overmatch, torps, etc into account. I've even found all classes enjoyable despite much of the community thinking otherwise. Not even to begin to mention how amazing the art department has smashed our expectations with their amazing productions.

These positive things being taken into account, the issue doesn't lie with the game itself, but the company controling it. Saying that Wargaming is greedy would be an understatement. Their aggressive monetization of every single event through open gambling is no longer funny anymore to the point where I feel like ironicially they would have made more money outright selling what they wanted. This also include the gambling to get the missouri, a ship so sought after (especially in the NA server) that you locked it behind a gambling system in order to aquire it. And as of this writing there has been an update and change so that if you don't feel like gambling your life away you can complete a campaign in order to aquire a CHANCE to just outright buy the missouri which still costs you upwards of $80 so the house always wins reguardless- which would be fine if you didn't screw up on your promises to keep the old missouri's economy unbugged- and as of this writing still has not been fixed. So you have the overmonetization of everything, fine.
But then you move on to treat your Community Contributers and the people who helped build this game from the ground up and gain a popularity like utter garbage. Seeing the treatment of LWM has opened my eyes to seeing how poorly treated these corner stones are being treated in this game through the harrassment, bullying, and belittlement we have seen. Now most CCs who can afford to leave or have half a brain have left which has opened the eyes to most other people about how much of a disaster this has become.
The other glaring issue I have with this game is the excessive agenda pushing this game has. Not politically, but in the hubris WG has of "we know what's best for the game, screw the community, eat your broccoli." A vast majority of people have lashed out openly against CVs and Subs yet they have been unchanged and are still being added reguardless of outside opinions. Ships like zao and other powercrept ships are left untouched in order to let the new ships shine and become new cash cows.

I like this game, I really do, but I can't support the platform that this game has run from. WG has been great, however that idea has been deteriorated. Will anything the community say or do change anything in the short term? Mabe, but in the long run WG will remain WG and people are still going to spend money because they do not care about anything outside the surrounding ships in battle or port. I myself have stopped spending any money on this game as of the time being but I do not beleive other will follow to the point where there will be a significant impact outside of mabe 2 weeks worth of lost revinue for them.

If you plan to not spend any money on this game, I'd recomend it. It is a fun experience and I have been enjoying it. TLDR; Love the game, Hate the company running it.

Take it easy out there

Meh. Its only fun to play against potatos and casuals. Anyone who is decent on either side makes the game completly unenjoyable.

Lack of counterplay is immense. This is found especially as strangler. Both killer and survivor and all killers- the ability to grab people and put them in traps while they can do nothing sucks and doesn't feel rewarding at all. The other killers all seem very powerful, slasher being the most evident in this. Not to mention the insane amount of lag experienced whenever it is decided by the game to put the survivors against someone halfway around the world. 4/10 Wouldn't reccomend without changes

Also- no clue why it says that the game was received for free- I paid full sticker price...
