Which is better Dead by Daylight or Friday the 13th?
Some people think this game is dead but it isnt. In my opinion best online horror game and comes with mobile version too. Very fun and spooky game, only disatvantage is expensive cosmetics.
PS. I love trapper and pyramid head UwU
Nice article and game is nice too.
Would've been better to showcase its gameplay as screenshots.
Great article so far. Good format, flow, I like it. If you wanna make more DBD article then how about recommended killers/survivors to start with for beginners? Maybe another for advanced players as well.
If you want to make article on other games, maybe you could do articles for games that have a similar progression system in DBD (similar to the perks, levelling, multiple currencies, etc.) so you can follow a similar info flow as your outline. Though if the game you're writing about has a tendency to release balance updates, then I would suggest to put a disclaimer near the beginning of your article to let players know that the info in the article could end up outdated at a later date since the contents could be subject to change by the devs of the game.
Hoping to see more articles from you in the future.
Yes dont give up keep doing you best such a good article!!
