Dead by Daylight vs Killing Floor 2
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.
Killing Floor 2
Killing Floor 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the popular survival horror first-person shooter game, Killing Floor. This time around though, players will be venturing out from England into continental Europe where the failed experiment apparently has massive impact on as well. With civilization in disarray, the remnants of humanity has banded together to combat the massive hordes of zombies and set up bases across Europe. Playing as one of the remaining and well-trained mercenaries, you'll once again descend into the bowels of the outbreak and clear out hot zones for the survivors to reclaim.Similar to the original, Killing Floor 2 has a co-op (up to 6 players) option or you can simply play the single player mode. Interestingly, the game has added a new 12-player PvP mode where two teams of players take turns playing as humans and zombies. The team with the highest score will naturally win. The perk progression system is also expanded in this sequel, allowing players to invest in meaningful talents that will help them find a handful of skills that fit their respective play styles. Interestingly, the game has reworked its melee combat, giving melee fights more of a structure rather than simply slashing and smashing.
With so many improved features but still retaining the same good old zombie-killing mania, Killing Floor 2 is the sequel that the game series deserve. Enjoy hilariously crazy moments of caving zombies' heads in or blowing them right off with your friends by your side!
