The gameplay was fantastic and the graphics were great, but it got boring fast.
One of the reasons the game gets boring is the lack of single player.

The developers have barely added anything new to the game, so it is not fresh anymore.
Turning on generators and running away from killers in the same few maps will get very stale.
Only the dedicated players will stick around with this one.
Hopefully there is content released in the future that will not make players want to quit so quickly.

The lack of multiplayer options will make people leave and it will make you want more from the game.
It could be a fantastic game if there was the option to farm with others.
Right now, farming in the game will make you want to quit playing within 5 minutes.
