What is the current state of the game?

[WussupFellas]

I have been watching TCM gameplay for a couple of months now, however I see some complaints about long queue times and I have been holding on to buying it for that reason.
I keep seeing a very low amount of players on steam 700+-.
Is there a considerable amount of players playing from other platforms?
How are you feeling about queue times as family vs as victim?
Thanks!

I'm sure there's more players on the consoles, but all the available data suggests it's not particularly big on there anymore though. You can get into a match just fine if you play family, but nobody wants to because it's a victim sided game. If you want to play victim, then yes you're going to have really, really long wait times just to get a game.

You get games straight away as family, but can wait 2-5 minutes to play as a victim which isn't too bad I either watch TV or web browse or do some work on my second monitor while I wait.

Non Steam PC community actually much bigger, but yeah - playing Victims means somewhat 3-5 minutes waiting almost each time. No problems for me, since I prefer Family, but might be important for you or others.

No big deal finding games both day/night times overall, but due to some unbalanced Victims - sweating tryharders might ruin your Family member gameplay, so be aware.

But, if you played other asymmetric games and understand that matchmaking works so-so in such games, you can try to buy TCM.

Game being quite entertaining for both teams, 3 killer per 4 survivors feels much better than typical 1-4 scheme and maps made pretty well in terms of look and balance.

The only real problem is that devs fixing non-critical bugs and polishing balance pretty slowly, so if you want smoother gameplay, better wait till summer or even winter sales and grab base game w\o DLCs with at least 50% discount.

Personally for me, this game worth somewhat 15$/€, since no singleplayer exist and new maps being added quite slowly, so if game will hit 65%+ discount, its safe to pick it without additional questioning, unless you are really tight on money.

Unfortunately the game is not in great shape. If you want to play victim, you will sit in long que times just to get into a lobby that may never actually get into a match. If you want to play Family, you run the risk of getting into a lobby with a bully squad. I know bully squads will always exist in these type of games, however, in TCM there is extremely limited counter play to them. Because of this, they are extremely abundant.

Communication is another issue for both sides. If you solo que, you will most likely get into matches where players will not communicate. I recommend utilizing the official TCM Discord and trying to find a group.
