Welcome to the Game III

Achievements that make you leave the game open for 10 hours on a menu. 100% mining bitcoin off of your system. Cool game though.

I think I know what the next game will be. This, but multiplayer. A multiplayer version of this would be the next popular game.

I have to give this game a thumbs down. I was very excited for this game. I loved the previous entries (although I never played them), and went into this one with my head held high. I knew it was going to be hard, I knew that the creators of these games love to be hard on their players, but I think that what they were really lacking in this game was enough fun. I started my playthrough of the game where if I lost, I would go back to the previous hour and continue from there. Between the many hacks, the lack of knowledge on the killers, bugs in the game, the various services offered, the cool looking interface, and the very mysterious characters. I pushed through this. I died so many times, but I kept on trying and trying. Finally the game started getting really fun when everything was coming together. I felt like I knew it all and was able to navigate the game very well, and that was a great feeling. I was going to give this game a thumbs up, until the end of my run. I was going to say something like 'yeah, it's hard, but it's worth the trouble'. That was until this happened: I had just reached another hour mark (another checkpoint), and then lost because of a certain something (I don't want to spoil what it is), I was forced to lose the game. I kept on going back to that checkpoint to try again, but I had no time at all to respond and I repeatedly lost. There was no way around it. The run was over because of terrible luck. My 27 hours of progress all lost because this game has to be that cruel. I even tried playing the game again, but I kept getting bad luck, against opponents that I couldn't really do anything about. That killed the game for me. I was excited for it, but now the excitement is gone. I don't want to play it anymore because the luck and killing is too unforgiving. This game lacks very much fun. It's only fun at the end when you have figured it out and have beaten the game, but it isn't fun other than that.

I'm pretty sure I'm the first 84 year old man to beat this game ! At my age I can tell you this game will ruffle your feathers ! My only complaint is that the game was a bit too easy for me, but I suppose that's what you get when you've been playing videogames for 60 years. I'll tell you, had more jump scares getting called by the misses haha ! I look forward to Adam's reply, and hopefully Welcome to the game 4 will be a bit more challenging for this old brain (-:

My internet in game was going out every single minute back to back.

money grab - diabolical gameplay

Best game in the series with the most demanding learning curve (number of mechanics and things to multitask). Devs are dropping daily patches to address numerous bugs at launch which made the game unplayable and impossible, which most of the negative reviews are about. Most of the game-breaking bugs seems to have been fixed already in just 4 days. The difficulty is punishing but also forgiving on normal mode due to the new checkpoint system with every in-game hour. Remember that these games are designed to be overwhelming and extremely difficult when you first start out knowing nothing: Expect to die a lot. There will be lots of trial and error, especially with the less you know about the mechanics. Non-spoiler tips and recommendations for everyone: • If you have any problem with audio in this game (like inaudible audio cues, or too loud hack sound), please apply Loudness Equalisation for your audio device in windows sound settings, it will fix (or at least help) everything without feeling like a cheat. Just remember to enable/disable it whenever you open/close the game, and keep this window open so you can easily do it. • The slots gambling mechanic is not at all necessary to win, getting lucky can help but you'll be fine without ever touching it. • Normal Mode has checkpoints every in-game hour. Make use of these to learn the game. It's very nice that you don't have to reset the entire run when learning, though you may feel a desire to reset runs as a learning opportunity to go for a better strategy! • At the start of your run, install A.C.R.S. I'm not sure why this isn't part of the tutorial! • Make plenty of use of the steam overlay's built in note taking feature. I like all the new models and the voice acting. The new animations especially are a big improvement. I don't like how obnoxiously loud the hack sound is. The Windows audio loudness equalization tip I talked about above slightly helped with this, because it meant I could play the game at a little bit lower volume overall, but still... it's really loud.
