Dead by Daylight vs Lumberhill
Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight is a rather interesting multiplayer game because it uses a 4-vs-1 where the 1 player plays as the Killer in the first-person view while the other 4 players take on the role of the Survivors who will have more situational awareness by playing in third person view. Each Killer/ Survivor will have their own progression system, allowing players to customize their character to their play styles and since each level is procedurally generated, predictability isn't exactly a word in this game's dictionary.The best part about the gameplay though is that the Survivors can actually choose to try to escape from the Killing Grounds together or in their own separate ways. It doesn't force you to cooperate with other Survivors and well, frankly, the axiom that goes "there is strength in numbers" may not ring true in this game... after all, by needing to locate only one of you, the Killer would have found and slayed all the Survivors in a single go.
Aside from the brilliant gameplay, Dead by Daylight also has the perfectly creepy atmosphere to match its somewhat gory theme. This is definitely not a game for the weak-hearted! However, the game has had a major technical fault which apparently wiped the progress of many players. Not to mention, playing in this game can be frustrating at times especially whenever either the survivors or the killer bring in overpowered add-ons which will tilt the game heavily in one side's favor. In fact, you can easily know who will win within the first few minutes of the game.
So, as amazing as the game concept is, Dead By Daylight still needs to do a ton of improvement, especially fix all of their game bugs, for it to be a game worth buying. That said, if you're interested to give it a try, you can wait for its Free-to_play weekends or you can buy it during a massive discount.
Lumberhill
Lumberhill is a fun and hectic co-op game designed to test even the strongest of friendships. In this game, you have to complete as many tasks as possible within the time limit to earn points. Getting a sufficient number of points will get you stars and there are up to 3 stars to be earned. The game starts off innocently enough, with you chopping down trees and herding sheep, but eventually more challenges present themselves and the game starts to get a whole lot more difficult. In addition to having plenty of skins to unlock, the game comes with an online co-op and a PvP mode as well.All in all, Lumberhill is a pretty good co-op game that’s fun to play with friends and family. It has its flaws and cannot measure up to the formula that made Overcooked such a success – and so far, I daresay no co-op game that I’ve reviewed managed to get even close, bar Unrailed! – but it is reasonably priced, entertaining either in solo or co-op, and is perfect to play in bursts due to its level-based design.
