How would you review: CHAPTER 23: Sadako Rising?

In terms of enjoying playing Sadako it's 4/5. She's one of my favorite killers to play. I like Stealth, I like teleporting around the map, I like her aesthetic, and the occasional Condemned kill is a nice cherry on top. I wouldn't turn down her eventually getting buffed slightly (maybe get rid of her Lullaby? She's the only stealth killer that has one and I'm not sure why. 🤷‍♂️) But as is she's good enough that I win games with her, about on par with Wraith.

Outside of that I'd say the chapter is "ok". I don't play survivor so I don't really care about the survivor in it either way, and their perks seem "ok" as well from my limited perspective. There's no map though which is too bad, if it had a fun map I'd probably rate the chapter a bit higher.

killer- trash

killer perks:- decent

survivor:- trash perks

no map

overall rating :- 3/10

unless sadako gets a decent rework this chapter is a waste of a good license, time and money.

i am glad dredge was the anniversary killer instead.

Sounds, Design, chase music, aesthetics - 10 - the best sounds of the game

Killer power - 3/10, honestly, her power looks like a killer where noone had ideas, just "ooh teleport, put tv and fine, that it".. could be more work on her power.

Survivor 4/10 - whos Yoichi?

Survivors perk 4/10 - other perks give me that sensation about zero ideias, just recicle other perks.

Killer perks - After sounds and whatever, the better part about his chapter.

She needs more love, especially on chases, i like her, but, doesnt work, you literally dont have power on chases. the invisibility is bad, you cant confuse a lot survivors with it.

This chapter looks like a chapter for money because she a licence and every people know who is she. looks like a chapter where BHVR didnt like work on it. Especially after Dredge, he do all thing Sadako do, but better.

Didn't waste money on it, whatever score that equals.

If they ever adjust both the killer & survivor to be fun and useful, I'll probably grab the DLC on a Steam 50% sale for the achievements. Otherwise, just get the perks that are half decent from the in-game store when they pop up.

The only things we got out of the chapter are Call of Brine and Floods of Rage. All the other perks, as well as the killer, aren't nearly strong enough. But it didn't make the game actively worse so... 5/10.

Why haven't we gotten any changes to Sadako yet? Is her kill rate really good enough to not warrant changes?

She is fun to play and play against, but at some point fun don't cover the mess her power is,

worthless slowdown that can be countered by doing almost nothing, can even be ignored all game most of the time. I get you are not meant to get a condemned kill the majority of games like pig, but atleast pigs slowdown has to be taken care of.

teleport has a annoying large cooldown, and tv placement is way to inconsistent, sometimes you will get 2 tvs right next to each other (like that one hook glitch on coldwind) and alot of the time they will get placed in corners you will never need to teleport 2 regularly (swamp)

Her stealth is the worst in the game, she has a weird lullaby that won't do anything unless a gen is really loud to cover it up, most of the time it will give away ur position.

the demanifest will do almost nothing mid chase, I can't even consider it a antiloop power.

Every other killer has some sort of antiloop, Legion can guarantee a first hit, pig has a dash, clown has bottles, trapper can make survivors give up a loop, even Myers has faster movement speed and faster vaulting. Sadako has nothing.

She is legit the worst killer in the game even Myers I would consider better.

Yoichi is somewhat boring, and they nerfed parental guidance for no good reason. His other perks are almost worthless and can be done much better by other perks.

The only redeeming factor is the visual and sound design, they are both top tier and make the experience very enjoyable when u are not getting absolutely crushed by a survivor team

Had one of the best potentials , Visually it's stunning best killer in that aspect in animations and sounds it's super satisfying to play her. Gameplay is a lot of fun but her power is weak she has no anti loop and her teleport / contamination powers are limited and weak. She needs a mini rework or buffs to make her more viable but seeing that killers as old as Myers didn't get any love I doubt she'd get anything other that some minors buffs eventually.

Yoichi looks very swag, but his perks are meh at best.

No map, so no new map offering used by swfs, so thats a good thing.

And sadako is just an m1 killer template with an added slowdown that only affects people who are very new or havent played dbd in months, and a stealth mechanic that is only usefull if you play without audio.

She also has a teleport so telegraphed, that the spirit player in the match right next to sadako's match, can hear where she is coming from.

Her perks are mostly good, floods of rage and call of brine are good and serve their purposes however merciless storm is only usefull against tutorial dwight or people who are distracted.

Absolute joke of a killer, cool look for a survivor but lackluster perks on the survivor side, and overall not an interesting chapter at all, surpased in every way by roots of dread.

Visual and sound design are fantastic. She could use some buffs though.

1 out of 10.

Sadako was a killer designed by a person who has never played as a killer before and who holds a grudge against all killer players.

The fact that she was MASSIVELY buffed from her PTR version and she STILL sucks super hard? It's an embarrassment.

I don't know who took the lead on that one, but they need to boot his or her ass directly off the team asap.
