Last Year: The Nightmare – Review Images Provided by Elastic Games I found the Slasher to be my go-to out of the three, although the most satisfying character to use would definitely have to be the Strangler, particularly when catching an unsuspected player, which left me with a feeling almost akin to a chameleon catching its prey. Finally, the Giant, the slowest of the three, instead offers the fastest time-to-kill, with a Juggernaut like rush ability coupled with the ability to pick-up and throw survivors.
