where the ♥♥♥♥ did jaime go?

Well aside from terrible FPS dips in last chapter (I've 4090) and the Arcade which has achievement tied to it, for some reason the longer you play (closer to score you're) the more it starts skipping inputs, I thought my keyboard was broken or batteries running low, swapped tested nope didn't fix it and works fine in all other games so that annoyed me enough to where I needed to take a break after 2h of trying.

Now with negative out of the way I've long ago stopped playing DBD, just got fed-up with it but I do know the lore of the game very well and frankly put if you're DBD fan it's a great game to play, really nicely expands on the world lore and I hope more standalone titles like this set in the DBD universe will be released.

Gameplay is more or less standard Supermassive gameplay loop, a lot of QTE's, Decisions based on interactions etc. And of course like every supermassive game, if you want to get all collectibles you must beat the same twice which is annoying AF, yes i'm talking about the Mother-Daughter Ring and Tattooed Finger, please stop just stop doing this. Luckily I was gifted the Deluxe Edition which gives you Cutting Room from the get-go which was a god sent, I don't have time to replay story driven games nor the desire hence yeah that's on you supermassive and BEhaviour on allowing it.

So as a DBD world lore entry it's great with rich world full of details and deep lore to explore, it was fun to tie all the little pointers, nods and dots to the core game. As a super-massive game it's okay suffers from their usual 'bad' symptoms but delivery is good.

TL;DR Great Game for FANS, Okay game for SUPERMASSIVE genre enjoyers, Overall worth a play if you into narrative experiences but if possible get the edition that instantly unlocks the cutting room (at a discount we don't want to reward such behaviour) to save on frustrations if you don't have time to replay fairly linear games.

This is a good game. However, I wish they went in an entire other direction with it.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The main thing that upsets me happens right off the start of the game. Frank Stone getting shot and killed by Sam. I don't know why they decided to go this direction, instead of Frank Stone killing Sam and going on to attack the main cast when they decide to go to the mill to make the movie. It would've been so much more interesting than what we have here. Basically like playing a slasher movie with your own decisions where you can decide the fates of the characters. But instead, they decided to go with this supernatural route where Frank Stone gets resurrected and the real danger is his stupid ghost running around, which you fight with a f*cking camera. It's seriously such a let down.

Don't get me wrong, I like this game, but I much rather my idea. Not to mention the whole two timelines thing really ruins it, I personally would've liked there to just be one timeline in the 80s, instead of it switching from the past to present day.

It's a huge miss. What they did was alright, but it could've been so much better imo. That's why I'm giving it a recommended, because it's still an alright game, but it would've been so much better had they gone in the direction I initially expected it to go.
