The first attempt clearly failed, i can partially agree, that discord store was a bad choice, but also shutting off their community by giving them complete silence was the worst decision ever made. As long as devs have learned from that and won't just run off again and leave everyone with dozens of questions, then i'd really like to recommend this and for ppl to support that.

    Besides that, i think the game has a very fun gameplay concept and i think that needs to be recognized first and foremost, we can't review bomb games with negative reviews constantly and not giving them the chance to actually gain a playerbase, it's absolutely the opposite of trying to get a game to succeed actually. DBD wasn't built in one day, not even in one year either, it took dbd a LONG time to actually gain the platform they have now, so let's not be hypocritical.

    So please people going into this, consider these few things and actually help a game to succeed that has a concept, that doesn't exist in this form and shape in the asymmetrical horror genre atm. Having just one game on top of that list constantly gets extremely tiresome and boring after a while, so something fresh and new besides dbd would be great for everyone who's a fan of the genre. I see similarities with l4d immensely, but overall it is definitely it's own concept and game and also original in what it does, so why not increase the size of games in your library in the horror genre with this addition?

    I can see a future of both dbd and last year being successful together, without it taking away anything from either community, because these two games are so different and if you'd want something more fast paced, but also highly demanding in teamplay and coordination, then last year would be your choice, but dbd is the more slower paced and thrilling game, with a lot of big horror moments, that requires more map awareness and timing. Therefore i can conifdently say that both of these games can exist together and be successful. Let's stop the childish hate and comparisons.

    If you love a class system with a little side crafting mixed, a fps that is fast paced and exciting, team communication, coordination and you overall just love horror and the idea of surviving the attack of a killer on different maps with 4 other teammates, then i can absolutely recommend it. Fun dialogues between the characters included and graphically it's very nice as well, it takes some time to get used to certain mechanics and figuring out what is the best way to take out a killer, but dbd also has a huuuge learning curve, so don't expect you'll be pro right off the bat.

    A few more additions: The voice acting is really well done, definitely more professional especially by actors, where some of them got a history of voice acting for a big list of other known titles and i gotta give props for that. The atmosphere of the game with the music choice, the sound effects etc. are also very well picked in my honest opinion and contribute a lot to the horror vibes and feel, while playing.

I love all the characters designs every character has their own unique personality. The graphics for this game look so nice and the mood for the maps is really dark and creepy. I really suggests this game if you are looking for a good game to play with friends and to just have a good time this game is for you. Full Review »

    OVERALL:
    This game is one of the few Asymmetric horror experiences I can safely say has potential to be beyond great. As far as gameplay goes, the game is beyond excellent even if there are some problems getting there (more on this later). These devs have worked hard to push the most requested community features and updates to the game in a way that makes me feel jealous of that experience while playing the very popular DBD (voice communication was released in a sort of beta form within a week of people wanting it put back in whereas DBD's devs only really update every 2 months with few exceptions).
    Onto the specifics:

    PROS:
    -Really fun gameplay loop with unique objectives per each map
    -Killers feel strong without being overbearing unless there is a massive skill gap
    -Survivors can feel real progression both inside the match and out of it
    -All future DLCs are free
    -Promise of long time support and game improvement with good community response for this release
    -Progression in the form of cosmetics, spells (one match uses of power ups on a cooldown to be used through a single game), and in game crafting for classmates (survivors)
    -Well thought out voice lines and personality to each unique classmate

    CONS:
    -Matchmaking can be inconsistent (the speed of which is actually better than DBD for comparison though)
    *Some bugs that keep matchmaking from stopping when cancelling queue
    *A bug where you cannot have more than 3 people in a group for queues or it may bug out
    -Some killers aren't as strong as others (the slasher is extremely weak in combat but with more base damage than other killers though and has only 2 kill spots per map on I believe 2/3 maps currently in the game)
