Never played that franchise, but if they let me control an Alien, I'm game.
The original version of the creature was not shown to be fast at all, it was more of an ambush predator. They can go with that angle. The ones in Aliens weren't what I'd call extremely fast either, not compared to 3, Covenant, and Isolation, but yeah they'd easily run down the slow ass DBD characters.dead by daylight: chase the cripple - the game.
i've rarely seen something more retarded than this, many of the games revolve walking, WALKING, around a table being chased at snail speed by an enemy which is just barely faster than you.
no idea how they can pull off the same idiotic gameplay with the alien which is supposed to be extremely fast.
DBD is a lot of fun, has a nice simple yet satisfying gameplay loop that has you keep coming back for more, it can be quite addictive and has claimed most of my gaming time over the past year. You won't find any other game that has such a broad crossover of horror genre staples, either. Additionally there is a loud, noisy, LGBT contingent among the fanbase so most codexers should feel right at home.
It can get extremely sweaty, with people far more invested than the game deserves and due to the game's RNG maps and some killers just being flat out better, you can get some absolute stomps from both sides. On the survivor side of things, people can play in up to groups of 4 (optionally in comms via Discord) and a good team in comms can severely stack the deck against the killer due to co-ordination & callouts. While the game is fun, it is hard to recommend unless you are willing to commit to the long haul. You will start out in baby matchmaking ranks for a time but once you're out of there the pendulum swings from super casual all the way up to super sweaty.DBD is a lot of fun, has a nice simple yet satisfying gameplay loop that has you keep coming back for more, it can be quite addictive and has claimed most of my gaming time over the past year.

How sweaty is it or can it be played casually? It's the kind of game that looks like it could be a lot of fun for a few casual matches here and there, but every time I look at the forums I see people discussing tactics and shit like it's some sweaty FPS.
