YMMV / Monstrum

• Contested Sequel: Monstrum 2 is considered an extremely poor sequel, as well as a downgrade in comparison to the original game. For one, the game is exclusively multiplayer, having no single-player campaign or even bots to populate the empty servers. Not only that, the game was released with minimal advertising, guaranteeing that the player count would be very small. On top of those things, the game ended up turning into another Dead by Daylight clone, which are notorious for dying out extremely quickly. These factors ultimately led to a mediocre experience, with the eventual decline of the game becoming so bad that the servers were pulled for low player counts, not even a full year after the game was released.
• Funny Moments: One of the Fiend's Game Overs? Telekinetically making you high-five it — to "congratulate" you for your failure — before finishing you off. Not what you'd expect from such a serious-looking wraith.
• Moment of Awesome: The Helicopter ending, for multiple reasons:
  • The monster puts-up a better fight than in the Life Raft and Submarine endings.
  • The player gets the last laugh — using the Helicopter to slam the Brute/Hunter into a crate, or jerking the Helicopter out of the Fiend's telekinesis.
• Obvious Beta: Despite being released from Early Access, Monstrum still suffers from several bugs, some of which can be gamebreaking.
• Paranoia Fuel: Facing the Hunter? Have fun walking past the vents.
• That One Level: The Submarine ending. Its Fetch Quest is the most complex (and the sub headlights are unique in that there's only one on the entire ship, compared to all other key items that have 2 copies), then you have to play Hit-and-Run Tactics with the monster for a while in an enclosed area (and God help you if it's the Fiend).
