The negative reviews are more for the old version of Last Year rather than this current version. The develpment team used to be super silent regarding the future of the game when it was in development. But now, a new development team purchased the IP, have pushed balancing updates, made the game free to play, with promises of future content. Even without future content, balance patches and free to play immediately deserve a positive review.

There's a huge amount of customization in this game, a lot of characters to choose from, & variety of play styles for survivors and killers.

The game play & uniqueness of the killers is something Dead by Daylight could never bring (DBD = M1 simulator). Not to mention, free DLC chapters for the coming future.

The thing this game needs is -
1) Dedicated servers
2) A larger player base
3) More killers/survivors/maps
4) Some bug fixes
