While some players find enjoyment in the game despite these issues, the overwhelming consensus is that it requires substantial fixes before it can be recommended.

    • “Runs great on older computers.”
    • “Propnight is plagued by various technical issues, including bugs, glitches, and server problems, which can disrupt gameplay and hinder the overall experience.”

    199 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in "Propnight" is a standout feature, with players frequently highlighting its blend of comedy and horror, particularly when playing with friends.

Overall, the community's interactions, voice chat, and the game's whimsical elements contribute to a consistently entertaining experience filled with laughter.

  • optimization
    66 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with many players reporting severe stuttering, frame drops, and performance issues across various hardware setups. Despite some updates aimed at improving performance, users continue to experience bugs and inconsistent visuals, leading to frustration and a lack of recommendation for the game. While a few players report smooth gameplay, the overall sentiment indicates that significant optimization work is still needed to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “We get an amazing animated picture, interesting physics, well developed animation and stunning optimization.”
    • “The game is a lot of fun and the devs clearly plan to push content and optimization.”
    • “Fun gameplay, good graphics, good performance/fps and fair price.”
    • “Whether you're a survivor or a killer, you'll stutter every time you cross a prop that's left on the path... and I'm not talking 'stuttering', as in lagging, I'm talking real stutter, like you are stuck in place!”
    • “This particular game suffers from a plethora of issues that honestly can drive anyone crazy and sour the moods of those who want to have a good time because it's not just the poor optimization but the lack of large maps, prop machines being too close, wonky hit-boxes, unfair advantages, lack of a decent MMR, survivor health when switching mid-fight/chase with the killer, terrible hit registration, killer and survivor awareness, and no prior warning between survivor and killer.”
    • “Only played killer but can say with confidence that with the horrible optimization and frame drops, blurriness even after turning it off in the in-game settings, and no progression system, this game is not close to being worth the $20.”
  • story
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a significant lack of story in the game, with many players expressing frustration over the absence of lore, character development, and narrative structure. While some players desire a more engaging story to enhance their gaming experience, others note that the focus is primarily on gameplay, leaving the narrative feeling underdeveloped and unmemorable. Overall, the consensus suggests that the game would benefit greatly from a more robust storytelling element.

    • “Both games have a slight dating aspect to them where the more you interact with the characters in the story, the more you succeed, leading to a variety of endings and resulting in a far more memorable experience.”
    • “I’m the type of player who mainly prefers a gaming experience that’s centered around a story, if not simply an overarching narrative that drives progression forward.”
    • “It is a shame that the devs did not really take the time to put more effort into the actual story because if they took the effort they had from the 18+ scenes and put it into the normal scenes, then this game would be so much better than what it currently is now.”
    • “There's also no introductory or tutorial missions, so you just have to immediately queue up for a live game on your first attempt and try to figure out what in the holy hell to do on your own.”
    • “No lore or backstory for any killers or survivors.”
    • “The game has no story or world-building, thrusting you right in, which gives it a stark, pallid, lifeless, impotent feel.”
  • grinding
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently describe the grinding aspect of the game as excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring significant effort to unlock characters, skins, and perks. Many express frustration with the repetitive gameplay and the lack of meaningful rewards, leading to a sense of burnout. Additionally, issues such as lost progress and unbalanced gameplay further exacerbate the negative perception of grinding in this title.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “A bit grindy... sometimes.”
    • “One long, tedious grind.”
    • “The maps and game modes are limited, leading to repetitive gameplay that quickly becomes tedious.”
    • “Incredibly grindy to unlock characters and skins (100 wins as a survivor required to unlock 1 character).”
    • “After plenty of complaints from the community, the problem with prop credits suddenly disappearing after grinding for them after a relog is very infuriating and still nothing has been done about it almost two days later.”
  • music
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising the catchy menu themes and soundtracks that enhance the overall atmosphere, while others find certain tracks repetitive or annoying, leading them to mute the audio. The incorporation of unique remixes, like the traphouse version of the Inspector Gadget theme, adds a fun twist, but the overwhelming presence of certain songs, particularly the Christmas music, has frustrated many players. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the game's vibe, its execution and variety leave room for improvement.

    • “I really liked the level design in this one, as well as the music and general art direction.”
    • “Be ready to spend the first 5 minutes of this game vibing out to the soundtrack.”
    • “The visuals are stunning, the music/sound effects are great and the community is very kind & welcoming!”
    • “The main menu music was alright listening for 2 times, then I got annoyed and muted the music volume altogether. Sorry, but that main menu music just sounded cringy.”
    • “I miss the classic Propnight so much... I even miss the sound menu music. I can’t almost play now and I’m so sad and frustrated.”
    • “The music lasts way too long and the killers can find you instantly.”
  • monetization
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the absence of microtransactions and the ability to unlock content through gameplay, while others criticize the potential for future monetization strategies and view the game as a cash grab. Concerns were raised about the lack of control over game libraries and the introduction of ads or new currencies, which could detract from the overall experience. Overall, players express a desire for more meaningful content and transparency from developers rather than reliance on cosmetic sales.

    • “That being said, the experience on both sides is fun. I love the variety of playstyles between the characters, and I like that there's no form of monetization in the game; it's all just a grind (not a very harsh one either). I was able to unlock 2 characters and a class in 10 hours of playtime, as well as 3 skins and 2 profile cosmetic items.”
    • “Just buy the game, play it, no microtransactions, perfect.”
    • “No microtransactions.”
    • “This is a huge cash grab from this developer and will more than likely have some new currency come out to buy cosmetics and then keep dying slowly, but hey at least they got my money!”
    • “If you skip this game, you're not missing out on much, just another cash grab in the asymmetrical horror genre that already has a heaping selection of cosmetics before it has even implemented core features.”
    • “Has a ton of potential, but they have a ton of stuff to fix and they already have microtransactions before the game itself is even worth it.”
  • atmosphere
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere in "Propnight" is a compelling blend of eerie survival horror and playful hide-and-seek dynamics, enhanced by high-quality graphics and sound design that create an immersive experience.

    • “The game's graphics and sound design are also top-notch, with detailed character models and creepy sound effects that add to the game's overall atmosphere.”
    • “With its intense gameplay mechanics, creepy atmosphere, and high replayability, it's a must-play for anyone looking for a thrilling and strategic hide-and-seek experience.”
    • “A beautiful game that takes you out of the atmosphere of the shooter.”
    • “However, because of the game’s goofy atmosphere, all of these flaws somehow feel like they’re part of the charm.”
    • “The skins have multiple recolors and most of the banners, titles, avatars are already unlocked, and it seems way too much of a party-style atmosphere.”
  • replayability
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game boasts high replayability due to its diverse maps, intense gameplay mechanics, and frequent updates, which keep the experience fresh and engaging. While some players note a lack of depth in content and progression, many find the gameplay addictive and enjoyable enough to warrant multiple playthroughs.

    • “There seem to be a lot of characters, maps, and content on arrival, and that's super cool; thus the replay value is high enough to keep you playing for quite a few hours.”
    • “The game is fun for the first few hours, the concept is really good but if you prefer rewarding gameplay and/or better replayability, go play Dead by Daylight or GMod's Prop Hunt; the mix of both won't work with such lazy game design.”
    • “- no replay value, you play at least once in each map and it feels amazing, then next match it feels like 'oh wait that's all?'”
    • “Despite the overall 'sameness' of the maps and how specific killers play in them (Banshee/Igor strong on outdoor while Imposter/Granny strong in house, etc), the replayability is high.”
  • emotional
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is a mixed bag, with players finding it both uplifting and distressing. While some appreciate the wholesome interactions and humor within the community, others express frustration over emotional tolls and gameplay mechanics that can lead to negative experiences.

    • “This game is wholesome.”
    • “The worst game made me cry.”

  • character development
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers highlight the strong character design in the game, noting that it enhances the overall experience. The unique and appealing designs, particularly of characters like the impostor, contribute to the game's fun and engaging atmosphere.
