    The games honestly great, the queue times are relatively mixed, I don't play killer much because I play with my friends (Crazy right) A good majority of players seem to cry about useless issues and come up with things to hate about the game and reasons they won't buy it that don't do anything but make the issues they talk about worse.

    Last Year has definitely improved a lot since the version we got on Discord back in 2018. They've finally added a cosmetic store (without microtransactions), a spell shop which is used to unlock spells which act like consumables, slight PVE elements and one new survivor and killer.

My only complaint is that currently all we have are the same three maps we had at 2018's launch. I honestly thought we would've gotten the campgrounds, suburbs or hell, even the mall map they teased way back before it's initial release. But unfortunately all we got were environmental changes to the current maps and an objective overhaul to the Gym, that's about it. I'm pretty much begging for some sort of confirmation that they're working on new maps already, cause hot damn we need some map variety soon.

    In my honest opinion, the game's in a good state as of V1.0.7. It's fun, it's addictive and I'm hoping we'll get some teasers about new content within a month or two, cause man they need to get the ball rolling and start showing us what they can really do with this game.    … Expand

    Game is very fun with friends. Survivor queue times don't take long. Killer queue times take a little long, but eventually you will get into a match. Few bugs with the game. One bug is where you get stuck. (Someone will have to make a pipe bomb, molotov, etc. to free you). Game is good though, mostly.

    These guys are working non stop to fix the issues present upon release and each patch has helped more than the last. Give this game a chance because when it works, hell, now that it DOES work it’s a load of fun and can definitely be on par with something like Dead By Daylight after a couple more updates. Keep your eye on this game.

    I like the uniqueness of crafting and having the class for a Classmate (Survivor). and also the idea of the chance of killing the Fiend (Killer). Even though the game lags or having problems. The developer still updating and fixing the game ASAP :). So I hope the developer keep updating the game. Because this game is so enjoyable

    Is it worth buying? I'd say yeah. If you're deterred by the lack of content, wait a little while and see what future content updates hold.

    Since Discord, they have changed a fair lot of stuff, and laid out the groundwork for some more exciting features to come. Maps have been adjusted for better balance, they have added customization for all characters ( skins and emotes ) along with a progression system with "perks" ( called spells ) which are currently only available for survivors, but has been announced to come for killersSince Discord, they have changed a fair lot of stuff, and laid out the groundwork for some more exciting features to come. Maps have been adjusted for better balance, they have added customization for all characters ( skins and emotes ) along with a progression system with "perks" ( called spells ) which are currently only available for survivors, but has been announced to come for killers with Chapter 2 ( no ETA, yet )

    The new killer, The Spider, currently debated whether it is Overpowered or not, but I will not weigh in on either side. All I will say is that it is visually very cool. It is unique, I absolutely love seeing an actual monster / beast as a killer and it makes me very excited for what the developers have in mind for future killers!

    Overall, the game is very fun, and feels very unique. I personally am excited to see what the developers can make of the game, if it can get up on it's legs after the issues have been ironed out.

    For now, if you are interested in the game, I would recommend waiting for the main issues to be fixed and then absolutely give it a try. The developers need the community to show interest in the game, and provide valuable feedback.

    I really like the game and I hope it can get the support it needs for it to grow.

    Last Year is one of those games that has a lot of replay value. Sure there's not much since it just came out, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game like some people think. This game was obviously meant for fans of slasher horror flicks, so if you're not a fan of the horror genre, then this game is not for you. It is also an intense game, but once you get the feel of it, you're good to go

    This is a solid game if you are a fan of asymmetrical horror. There are some definite bugs to be fixed at launch as well as some much needed balance patches, however as a whole I give the game a buy. It's already better than similar games and is on par with dead by daylight which had a considerable head start.

    At its core this game is super fun. That being said there are a lot of design nitpicks here and there. There are a lot of things that I think are really unbalanced but these problems can be fixed with balance patches later down the line.

    I will admit that the netcode for this game is very wonky but I think that's to be expected of a game that just launched on Steam after being on Discord for such a long time. That being said if you or the Fiend (it seems this game runs on local hosting) is laggy the game becomes a lot harder to enjoy.

    But probably the biggest problem with this game is that everyone playing it is a **** brainless monkey. This is probably to be expected with a game that just launched but good lord the amount of Ambers who hoard all the scrap and then craft nothing, Rajs who throw molotovs at their team, Sams who brainlessly walk into every trap on the map, Rajs who run off solo and get killed, Rajs who take objectives and don't do them just to troll the team, Rajs who intentionally search trapped scrap pickups just to screw with their team, Rajs who don't know what their power does, Rajs who spam craft pain pills instead of proximity mines and flame throwers, Rajs who... basically what I'm getting at is that 90% of Raj players are trolls.
    This game is in desperate need of anti-trolling mechanics. A vote-kick or reporting function would go a long way to make this game better. Or just remove Raj since the only people who play him are trolls. Beyond that an actual in-game tutorial would be great. Even if it was just a 20 page word document reading "Don't Split The Party" like it's Zombieland meets The Shining it would still help the massive influx of new players who play this game like it's Dead by Daylight.

    Most of the other issues with the game can be attributed to it being an essentially brand new product. But the playerbase issue is the biggest problem with the game. Fixes to the playerbase (tutorials and anti-trolling mechanics) should be a priority for the developers, and if you're planning to get the game I highly recommend watching some gameplay footage on YouTube before starting to play this game, as it will help you to learn a lot about how to play.    … Expand

    This game has a ton of potential. Yes, there have been issues on launch, but the devs have been responding to them quickly. Matchmaking issues seem to be region related, as I haven't run into any glaring issues with queue times. The game DESPERATELY needs a tutorial for new players. I would be so far beyond lost if I hadn't been watching others play the game before purchasing it. Overall,This game has a ton of potential.

    2: the target of the mission can be seen by all players together, not just the players with the items of the mission

    3: the background music is too big to cover up the sound when the killer disappears or appears. As a result, players often cannot hear the sound of the killer disappearing or appearing.

    4: add a system that can mark items or killers.

    5: common requests from Chinese players to add Chinese and foreign translations.

    6:Dead by daylight is banned on Chinese platforms for policy reasons.So I like the system that the development team can add to block the execution animation of killers.

    Finally, I wish the development team game to do better and better.    … Expand

The gameplay is more balanced, survivor and killer are both fun to play now and both sides finally feel equal. The game is currently having a rocky launch which is to be expected after 8 months of non-stop development and pressure from consumers. I believe it was worth the wait. The spider and it's animations are extremely cool and re-works finally came to the game. Sure some were unnecessary such as in-game voice chat removal (which has now returned), UI-reworks, and matchmaking reworks but at least it shows their progress. Sure the 8 month hell Elastic went through was a bit shady as they left people in the dark but be grateful that Discord buyers at least got a free code for the Steam version and we finally got the reworks, balances, and other changes needed. Now all Elastic has to worry about is fine tuning the servers, work on optimization, and fix whatever else needs to be fixed. I expect this game to return to former glory in about a month and the game is now cheaper than before so this is a good buy for anyone into beautiful graphics and overall fun gameplay, although wait a bit until you buy or keep it in your library until everything is sorted out from Elastic's side. They're listening to everyone's feedback and are working on hotfixes and patches to make your experience better, not like BHVR or GUN that just never listens to the community anymore.… Expand

    Before I start, I want to mention that I played the game back when it was on Discord.

    To start off, the only two problems I think this game has is that 1: The Killer hosts the match, so if you live in the US and the killer lives in China, you're going to lag a LOT, and 2: There isn't a ranking system that separates players based on their skill.

I can understand both these problems however, due to the fact that Elastic Games has been working extremely hard on this game, and they have dealt with a lot of setbacks that slowed down progress on this game, such as their Kickstarter money being stolen by an ex-employee. Plus, you have to remember (and correct me if I'm wrong on this) that Last Year is technically an indie game. Last thing I want to say is that many people are comparing this to Dead By Daylight, and while there are some comparisons between the two, you can't compare Last Year, a recently re-released game, to Dead By Daylight, a game that's been out for years and has had many bug fixes and changes. Too many of these reviews are comparing Last Year to the LATEST version of Dead By Daylight. I would say Last Year's initial launch on Discord, and its launch on Steam, were 5x BETTER than the initial launch of Dead By Daylight.

    All in all, Last Year is a really good game, and I can't wait for what's to come in this game. Give this game a chance guys.    … Expand

    The game is very good and balanced. As a killer you need to be strategic and think 1 step forward most of the times. Most people think killer is OP but if the team knows what they're doing its a struggle.

    If you are tired from games like dbd and soul and stake you can try it out!

    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)    … Expand

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.    … Expand
