Dead by daylight is a very fun game to play, something that you can feel both relaxed and competitive in my perspective. I can understand on why there are a lot of conflics with the gameplay, S.sided and K.sided, nerfs and buffs for certian perks and killers, etc. But if you ignore it and just focus on the gameplay, it's pretty fair for most of the part, and it's really fun to play with friends. As a person who randomly found out about dead by daylight on youtube around 6 years ago and started playing for the first time about 3 years ago on my brother's account, it was the most memorable time I had with this game, DBD is hella funny and fun with friends and when you put your mindset to it, and I won't change a thing about that no matter what opinions other players make. DBD will always have a special place in my heart, Thank you Behaviour Interactive, you're doing good and don't stop this gem of a game.

I started playing Dead by Daylight back in middle school, around 2017 or late 2016. I got hooked on the game because of No0b3, a YouTuber who was incredible at it. He could pull off 360s on killers and loop them like a pro, which really inspired me to dive in. I picked it up when the Doctor was released and became pretty addicted at first, but eventually, I stopped playing because, honestly, I just wasn't very good. I struggled with looping and 360s, trying to be like No0b3, but I was young and didn’t really get the hang of it. I ended up finding other games that I enjoyed more. Recently, I reinstalled it and started playing again. I’ve been loving the new features and updates, but it’s tough to shake off my old habits since so much has changed with survivors and killers. Still, I’m getting better at looping killers, navigating the maps, and keeping track of where everything is, like pallets and windows. I’m starting to get the hang of it, and while I still get downed sometimes, I feel way more confident now. If you’re struggling with the game, don’t give up! Just take the time to learn the mechanics and how the maps work. There’s a lot to learn since things are a bit more complicated now, but I think it’s definitely worth it. Plus, if you buy it, you can return it within two hours or within two weeks of getting it. Take care, and hope you enjoy the game!

Enjoy getting matched every game with bots in solo q as a veteran player because dbd devs are shady and refuse to address and implement a proper mmr system.
