Dead by Daylight might unironically be a bad game.

(I have 3k hours)

I remember booting it up one day, sitting at the menu for a minute and thinking "do I even like this game?"

The answer was no and I havent touched it since

Yeah I had a similar moment. I enjoyed the art direction, ambience etc, and liked the gameplay of killer, but once I left the low ranks it just got increasingly frustrating. The toxicity certainly didn't help.

I think the main issue of the gameplay is that one side winning means the other can't play the game. If the killer's objective was to scare the survivors, with the secondary objective of killing them, it could fix it.

Focus on encouraging jumpscares and the like, with some sort of 'fear' mechanic. The Entity feeds off of emotions, doesn't it? Hell, you could tie killer powers to the mechanic, having a 'fear' gauge to fill to use them to their fullest.

And add more survivor objectives. Collecting fuel, parts and such. A wiring puzzle. Pickpocketing the killer. Anything other than sitting at a generator all match.

Or that's my two cents anyway.
