***as someone who's been playing this game on & off since 2017

first things first, the game is very fun after the 300-700 hour learning curve, depending on how fast you learn. it's especially enjoyable with friends.

now onto the meat & potatoes of what this game is. it's pure pimple puss. this game's community is for the most part blasted. absolutely awful. you truly get to see the dark side of the community from playing solo q. solo q is akin to getting your spine ripped out by a miami beach roid rager. the worst part has to be the super toxic 3 stacks. they always make you a scapegoat for pointless & endless blame, especially since you're the odd man out for being solo q. the cancer never seems to actually get expunged from this game regarding the toxic portion of the player base. these people need to touch grass & be rehabilitated in many social aspects ranging from coherence to mutual respect to self-awareness. learn how to treat human beings you steaming piles of filth. filthy animals, all of them. whenever i see a player with 5, 6, or 7+ thousand hours, i am just in disbelief of the trauma & scars they have chosen to voluntarily receive. the repetitive & hellish trials the survivors have to endure within the game slowly become a reality as you, the real, human player travel in a infinite downward spiral of queuing for games just GAMBLING on whether you will enjoy it or not. at least when i play a single player game such as stardew, minecraft, or pokemon, i am GUARANTEED a nice, relaxing session; whereas every time i open dbd, i pick up the phone ready to call a psychiatrist for a consultation to see if i happen to have stockholm syndrome.

if you ever see me on dbd, it's because i'm playing with friends (which happens to actually be fun) or i decided to give myself a torturous punishment for whatever reason
