Dead by Daylight

Anyone get this?

Looks interesting but doubt it would have longterm appeal, would imagine with a group of mates it would be hilarious.

I have it, it's not the first type of A-Symmetrical monster vs survivors game I've played but it is interesting.

Definitely a game to play with friends, however at the moment there is no matchmaking with friends in public lobbies, you'll need to create a private lobby to play with friends. The downside to this is that private lobbies don't give you blood points, which you need to buy items in the bloodweb and subsequently raise your character rank. They did say they are adding matchmaking with friends to public lobbies down the line/soon.

My positive points on it:

• Intense/Adrenaline filled gameplay
• Co-op is beneficial and sometimes key to winning a game
• Randomised Maps
• Perks for both survivors and killers - each killer and survivor have unique perks
• Bloodweb is interesting concept, randomises items or possible perks each level that you can equip.

My Negative points on it:

• No public matchmaking with friends (yet)
• Maps are randomised but very samey looking
• 'Wraith' Killer is Overpowered
• Survivors can easily abuse the window loop on a killer (i.e survivors quickly jump over windows, killers dont, allow survivors to endless jump in and out of windows to escape the killer which is very frustrating)
• Only one "game mode" at the moment - basically need to get 5 generators working across the map to escape

If a killer finds me what's the best thing to do- to blind him or to run away?

Run, you can't blind a killer with a torch AFAIK, only when they are carrying another survivor.

Use ledges, barricades to your advantage, basically as much obstacles between you and him until you find a place to hide. Some levels like the workshop in Autohaven wreckers allows you to loop in and out of windows easily (this may be fixed down the line though). Luring a killer into a barricade to stun them with the falling pallet can give you some time and also some nice blood points.

Main thing to be aware of as a survivor is to not run unless needed, running creates scratch marks which the killer can follow.I always hug trees or walls and stay low, if the killer is close to either I always look around the wall/tree and move out of his sight when needed and then wait till he is gone.

Juking is another thing but it seems like one of those things I've haven't gotten the grasp of yet.

Man i have to say i have almost 40 hours played in this game and it is crazy good, gets your heart pumping. The Wraith killer is OP to the MAX!!! they need to nerf him, the cloak is crazy OP, I dont know what they were thinking putting that in.

Maby put a timer on it wouldn't be to bad, like lets say fresh level 1 Wraith can cloak for 30 sends, get a level 1 perk 45 second level 2 60 seconds till you get level 3 and 75 seconds but being able to run about with being virtually undetected is crazy
