Been playing since the release in 2016.

Game is fun in the beginning for both sides. A little hard for Survivor especially if you playing alone. And easier for the Killer. As you gain experience and begin to face more experienced players, Killer becomes very hard and Survivors games become easier.

Game is not balanced on high skill level. Especially when you play Killer against a group of Survivors which use communication software (Discord and e.t.c.). Many perks on Killer side rely on aura reading and stealth. Which completely negated by those groups. Devs aren't against it so it's like they allow cheating in their own game.

Devs are pretty Survivor biased in general. The community (Survivor's side) cries about things they don't like and after some time it will be nerfed or "reworked". Only Killers and their perks are getting nerfed. Survivors perks get maybe one or two nerfs in like 1-2 years. This all happens because its a 4v1 game and there are way more Survivors. And they buy a lot more skins than Killers do.

A word about "community" or this game. I came to play this game after playing a lot of TF2. I thought that TF2 community was toxic. Not at all. DbD's one beats all levels of toxicity. I've had may wishes of my death on my profile just because some people didn't like the way I've played. After I locked the comments on my profile to "Firends only", some of them still managed to leave their comments on my screenshots e.t.c.

Though the game is not F2P there are a large amount of hackers. And if you play Killer and one survivor is hacking other 3 usually support them (great community once again).

Every update comes with tremendous amount of bugs which get fixes atleast 2 weeks later.

So if you like to get easy games with 4 of your friends against 1 player - buy this game. If you like to play various Killers (because the gameplay for Survivor side is getting boring after a while - just holding LMB, Shift and pressing Space occasionaly) - don't buy this game because you will regret it after you will get to high level play since it's not balanced at the top skill level and 100% survivor sided.

Also a word about the devs. Survivors side biased, ignoring Killer players complaints, contantly nerfing Killers based on low skilled survivors crying on forums. If you like to outplay 4 persons and win - this game is not for you because you won't win.
