How to get back into the game in 2025

[Gay Bog Bitch]

I haven't played this game in many years now (last I remember playing it was maybe 2020), and I'm positive it's changed a lot. Is it still worth trying to get back into it? How do I even start?

The game is fine, the fundamental gameplay is the same. There is just more perks and killers. Perks you can just look at nightlight to see what people are using and maybe get an explanation from an otz video to see why they are good. For Killer you can run bot matches to test the powers if you want.

Universal changes since you stopped playing

For Killer: Slightly faster kicking speeds. Slightly faster weapon wipe at base. 5 Percent gen regression on gen kick. Limited gen regression to 8 regression events. Anti face camp means you can no longer face camp until endgame. Removed the ability to grab survivors who are unhooking.

For survivor: Massive hud info that lets you know what everyone is doing as well as always knowing if someone is in chase and the gen progress of a gen each survivor is working on. Base kit borrowed time. Speed increase after being unhooked. Gens take 90 secs to repair now.

If you want to mostly play killer (or have competent friends to play survivor with)-it might be worth it. If you played solo queue survivor before-it is nigh unplayable now because of constant survivor nerfs, bandaid fix perks locked behind newer survivors to address these nerfs and constant killer buffs (with only a few significant killer nerfs in between).

Killer in general has not gotten a buff for 2 1/2 years and survivor has not been nerfed for a similar time. Meanwhile survivor has gotten a number of buffs. What are you talking about. Solo queue has always kinda sucked, but its better now than it has been if noone quits.

[eh why not]

It's simple to get back into the game.
Step 1: Load the game.
Step 2: Play the game.

Only get back into the game if you want more toxic players than last time. Yes it has gotten worse in solo que for both survivors and killers.

I have to wonder where do you people play because when I play solo I might get one tunneler or camper the whole play session in like 5-10 matches

It is toxic because the killer isn't giving them free wins duh.
