Hope you enjoy getting one shot killed by something and losing all the gear you need to hope to have a chance to finish the game.
Hope you enjoy sitting there for 20 seconds while a monster flails you around even though you were dead 19 seconds ago
Hope you enjoy missing your jump because the game lagged and now you get to sit there for 8 minutes until the match ends doing nothing
Hope you enjoy grabbed from 20 yards away by the squid monster
Hope you enjoy getting insta killed by the face hugger. No, the game doesn't care about your armor
Hope you enjoy losing 7000 points worth of photos

Love this game, it's not anything crazy, but that didn't stop a soldier from shooting a monster with a rocket launch, launching it into the air just as it was throwing a boulder, just in time for it to lock onto me and 360 no scope me with the pavement.
I thought I was safe on my high up vantage point, then I wasn't. The teary eyed laughing fit I got from that alone made the $8 dollars well worth it, I my very first time playing

game was really fun before the most recent update, game got too difficult for no reason. always duplicate fotos and you get almost no score when you make the craziest photos... so it feels almost impossible to win before the game was really fun
I would recommend this game, but not anymore in this current state.

If you've read the callouts about the games AI art, I am happy to report that the developer has since removed all AI art and everything is now custom done. Learning from mistakes and growing? You love to see it
Fun game on top of that!

This game has my heart, I am newer to group games on PC. But, I can say that the pace, variables, and co-op play is absolutely my favorite. Its different than a lot of the other games in this style. Currently downloading the new update as I type this. Thank you to the Devs for doing something so new and fun!

Fun game that reminds me of the movie "Cloverfield" in a way, complete with giant monsters outside in New York.

Recent update has ruined this game. The issue isn't the new map or interiors or even the new monsters, the real issue is that the duplicate system has entirely ruined this. We took 25 photos, 16 of those were duplicates. On average you take 3 photos, 2 of them you won't be able to use. Photo stacking per round has been removed making this game at least for two players, a grind. Before this update the game was enjoyable and actually at times, quite relaxing compared to similar games, however now it is more just annoying and frustrating. I'd recommend coming back to this game when they roll back on some of the changes. As much as I love Headliners, I will not find myself playing it as much as I used to.

Out of all of the games in this genre of "comedy co-op survival" that have been flooding the Steam store, this is my favourite so far. The gameplay loop is tons of fun with 2 - 4 players, but becomes insanely enjoyable if you can get that 6 - 8 player range. The graphics aren't exactly AAA, so I actually choose to play it on the lower graphical setting and it plays like an absolute dream. Feeling like a mid 2000s PC hybrid of Pokemon Snap & Dead Rising.
I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this game, especially with this new update, which overhauled the entire experience into something even better than it was before.
Well worth the asking price, & I can't wait to see what creatures and zones they add in the future.

Classic example of a potentially great party game brought down by posing as a roguelike.
And, like all games, the stamina system only detracts from gameplay, and offers nothing to benefit the experience.
You die in a level, you lose your high level camera, get no money, and then WILL fail the next attempt because you do not have a bonus to score from your camera. Tough luck, restart your lobby and sit through the boring first 3 levels to get back to anything interesting.
Also, in later levels it REALLY seems like a literal die roll of "does the big dino or slender man spawn to cause a lot of explosions, or do you get the big bat again, which does minimal explosions, and spends almost no time on the ground to pose near corpses / enemies to increase photo score.
Also,
The duplicate photo system sucks. Camera auto selecting the far left, aka MOST valuable photo after deleting something WILL result in you accidentally deleting your best photo on accident. Ridiculous to default to the left.
TLDR
This will be playable when it is added to R2Modman.
