Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is pretty much identical, there's a prep phase where you pick the items you want to shapeshift into and hide yourself.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
+ When played with friends or even in a good public lobby, it's just a fun hide and seek game with generally a good(balanced) length for which the props need to remain hidden.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
- Servers are peer-to-peer, which in a way is fine, but also sometimes it seems you play somewhere on the other side of the world with a bunch of lag.
