Great game, toxic community but if u find the duo or bunch of friends like the experience gets way better
★★★★☆SodaPop· Jun 20, 2026
It's a fun game that's mildly rage inducing at times (especially if you play hunter). There are a lot of characters to play and all can be unlocked with in game currency (no need to spend). Some skins are paid only, but there's a lot that aren't. I do wish collab skins weren't almost always paid though. People are toxic sometimes but just turn off post chat and emotes and it's fine. Minus 1 star for ping issues (and random frame drops / lag). Makes it highly frustrating and unfair sometimes.

I love this game with all my heart but using AI while you have so many incredible artists... Ne tease the only reason people play idv instead of DBD is because of the art, and then you ruin it.

I always adored this game, the characters, play style, lore, and art. But many in-game items are so expensive, and it was devastating for me to find out about the AI usage. I can't continue to support for that reason. :(

More and more overpowered hunters get released and more frustrating it is for a survivor to play solo queue. This game heavily favors hunters and punishes survivors even when they play perfectly. Decoders are almost obsolete in top tier plays and rescuers get downed easily while overpowered hunters have the ability to chase, pressure cipher and camp chairs at the same time. If the developers want a power fantasy for the hunters so much then at least give benefits to solo queue survivors.
