She needs a much needed rework. Her CONDEMNATION is underwhelming, that goes for a good chunk of her base kit, (her stealth could be better). Still a cool killer, and a recommended if you're a fan of the ring movies.

They made my homegirl trash af when it comes to her strength but they did a great job aesthetically.

Overall Rating: 5/5

The Survivor (Yoichi Asakawa): 4/5
Yoichi's lore is complemented well by his default and store cosmetic, both of which allude to his role as a marine biologist. Although the bright yellow raincoat may not be ideal if you're a stealthy player! His perks lean more into his identity as a psychic and are unfortunately rather niche. Boon: Dark Theory provides a speed boost to survivors within the range, which may sound strong on paper, although the effect is so minor that it's hard to notice any difference. It's really only effective at particular tiles/main buildings. Empathic Connection slots nicely into a healing build although provides little benefit for the person actually running it and is moreso focused on aiding the team. His other perk, Parental Guidance, can help you to briefly confuse or loose the killer in the chase, after stunning them, by hiding your scratch marks. However this benefit is superseded by other perks (i.e. Lucky Break) in my opinion. If you're looking for strong perks, Yoichi is probably not the one for you. Although I find that he has a lot of charm and enjoy playing him - perhaps due to his cute raincoat and lobby animations

Yoichi is the absolute best. By far I enjoy playing as him and Sadako the most. The survivor became my main in NO TIME. Love it. Thank you for the awesome chapter.

Easily the worst killer in the game. You can find videos of top mmr Sadako players losing to survivor teams with 0 perks because she has no tools to end a chase, her invisibility is gimmicky and only effective vs new players, and her condemn mechanic it all but entirely a useless feature. THe survivor that comes with this pack has extremely weak perks and a bright yellow jacket to help you blend in with nothing. Sadako actually has good perks so if you really want call of brine or storm this might be worth on a sale.

sadako is not great, not even good, but she is fun. insta-kill mechanics, stealth and teleports are an absolute win for me and the dwarf is very good at two out of three, the odd one being insta-kills. it's practically based on luck if you will get to kill someone or not in a trial, but hook states don't matter when you're doing it, so it's pretty alright.
it's worth noting that all of the perks (survivor/killer) in this chapter all have interesting synergies with a lot of other ones, so go wild if you're creative.
all in all it's pretty cool, and since i really like ringu it makes me extra happy that the well goblin is in the game.

Absolutely hate how she can be walking up to you with the threat meter not going off and if your not paying attention your screwed. Love when i get screwed over from not paying attention in this game. Excellent DLC

ThE kIlLeR iS tRaSh!

Then why do I get so many 4ks with her?

Edit: Apparently one guy got so mad with this review he had to make a big stink about it and call me ignorant because I don't need a killer list to tell me how to play. Maybe some day he'll realize that not everyone chases the meta and sometimes people play the game to have fun and are just plain better than them. I don't know, I think commenting that my MMR is low in response to my original post was just a wee bit toxic, but I guess I'm the toxic one for pointing it out.

Anyway Sadako is probably the best and she's prime waifu material!

Perks are very situational, Some addons should be basekit(Ring Drawing, Distorted Photo), because as of now, teleportating feels terrible and inconsistent. Also demanifesting feels pretty pointless as it just provides a worse wraith cloak but with no real boost.
Definitely enjoyable for fans of the ring series, but I wouldn't buy her for her gameplay

oh but she does have crisp sound design so she wins in that department :)

Love the liberty they took with Yoichi. Love that you can play as a killer such as Sadako who's full of great animations and sound effects. Some perks here could use some work and there's no stage but honestly who cares. Watch the movies and play the DLC or just the latter lol

Well, the Killer stinks at killing if the Survivors have frontal lobes. Like, if you only play too win, you can skip playing as her. Just buy it for Floods of Rage.
However, it's the ring girl. She's an iconic totally not 14 "woman" that scuttles out of shitty CRTs and stares so hard it causes heart attacks. You gotta play as Ringu!
Granted, the visuals are damn faithful and adorable. Little "please don't card me" Sadako carries people by making them float and flings people around with sadistic fury. The effort and care that went into this chapter is sweet like sugar. Plus, the Survivor is a banana. He's the guy from the film... Banana.
Overall it's a chapter for fans of Ringus. Ring my girl-balls. I like Merciless Storm.

I easily get bullied while playing as Sadako, but I do love playing her. Don't really use the perks from this chapter and don't play Yoichi. I'd say just go for Sadako if you don't plan on playing Yoichi.

Cheers to all the Sadako's that actually manage it to mori someone with her power while losing the game for it.

Sadako/Onryo/Samara Morgan/ Girl from pit/ Girl from scary movie 3:
Grab the right perks and you'll turn yourself into a generator safe dog. This killer is not about "killing" but good for safe generators.
Yoshi:
Well, the perks are a bit useless, but they can make good combinations to make healing your teammates more efficient.

Conclusion: In my opinion the assassin is a bit weak without certain perks, but your teleport skills with some good addons can be really annoying and powerful. About Yoshi: He is fine, nothing more to add.
DLC: 7/10

Super creepy killer with interesting mechanics - although it is fairly simmular to the new Dredge killer!
I enjoy playing Sadako a lot, although playing as her brought back a childhood trauma from a certain Ring movie which I watched when I was fairly underage - Certainly recommended in terms of flavor, although the Dredge might prove to be a better pick in terms of power!

Yam

Only buy if you want to use the perks the Dredge is vastly superior and is just like an upgraded version of her

I got suckered into playing this game due to being a big fan of J-horror and especially the ring series. I know its awesome she is in, and she will impress you with her outstanding visual and audio effects. But she is totally worthless aside from some OK perks. You will do worse than almost every other killer you could have picked. If you are attached to her and want to main her, you won't have fun playing this game. Not only that, but they instantly followed her up with the dredge, who is superior to her in every single way, and has a similar teleport ability. She does not do a single thing better than other killers. Consider spending your money elsewhere, sadly. Disrespectful to her power in the source material.

The killer has a rather weak stealth mechanic and can teleport to a couple of fixed locations on each map... that's it. They have the ability place 'condemned' stacks onto survivors that after reaching seven stacks allows the killer to instantly kill them. However survivors can avoid this exceptionally easily. The three killer perks are near enough useless.

The survivor has a decent perk that allows them to hide grunts of pain and blood when pallet stunning the killer, this works well when paired with the 'Smash Hit' perk. The survivor and killer are licensed meaning you can't purchase ether character with the in-game currency. If you don't have the Resident Evil or Silent Hill DLC's then get those instead.

I rate this DLC a creepy girl in need of a tan out of ten.

The Killer is way to easy to be lopped with the current meta of healing going super fast a hit and run killer wont make it far the killer and design is nice and sth new but its a crossbread between freddy and wraith begging to kill it. Without meta perks she is a weak killer, with just she struggles to be mediocre at best. her attacks can be dodged way to easily....

Fun for a few games, but it's the same game with the same problems. Killer and new perks are decent but won't really shake up the meta in any meaningful way nor will the killer keep you interested for very long if you were already losing interest or give players who left a reason to come back. Cool to see Sadako in the game though.

Best full chapter released in a while, Devs finally taken a break from just anti loop killers and given us a genuinely interesting killer that's both fun to play and fun to play against. She also comes with 3 very good and balanced perks.

Survivor is a cool design with a bright yellow raincoat that reminds me of Gerogie from IT. He also has 2 decent perks out of his 3 he comes with. Only downside is the chapter has no map which is a huge missed opportunity (just like the overkill chapter) but, overall im happy with it.

This is the best chapter I've seen in a while. I loved Ring series. Now I even like more the original one. Killer's power and animations are super good and very consistent with the franchise. So much jump scares.. I love it...

interesting concept of a killer; she's fun to play but her abilities sometimes feels weak (TVs are RNG so there's no key set tv spawns). if you want a better chance with her you would need to use add-ons to make her better as her base kit can be struggling.

The perks are pretty alright; as yoichi basically has one perk that is just made to get out of chases (the boon perk is more a placebo). sadako or onryo has one really good perk (the scourge hook) and two okay perks.

Game is in terrible state. You will use this killer's power in 1 out of 100 matches maybe (the mori part, the rest is like already existing power anyway so why create this).

Snowfall

DLC is just fine, perks range from eh to pretty decent. Stop listening to people that are upset that Behaviour didnt release a OP killer, Sadako is a B to C tier killer, she's not overbearingly powerful nor very under powered. I've been able to get 2 to 4 kills every match that wasnt a SWF (gave 4th players hatch if its randoms)
Only issue is that the Circle of Healing meta CAN make playing Sadako a chore rather than it being fun. If you remain unpredictable, and no that doesnt mean teleport to every TV every chance you get, even on more open maps you can easily get 2 kills minimum if it isnt a SWF

First killer in the game that's genuinely scary. Killer perks are quite fun and decent, survivor perks are alright but pretty niche - if you only buy these DLCs for their usable perks, you can skip this if you solely play survivor (though for meme builds: Parental Guidance fits Head On builds; Empathic Connection fits solo-queue team healer builds; Dark Theory fits super-speed Blood Pact builds).

giku99

The models of the characters are pretty much on point and look good. The killer is fun for both the survivor and the killer perspective. It's the first killer in a long time to give survivors occasional chills. While the Survivor's perks are quite unique and may do well with other perks, they're not really strong on their own and I don't really see any of them become meta. In my opinion, the killer perks are also quite weak, even if I see potential for the scourge hook perk to shine in certain combinations. For example with Make you Choice.

+ The models look good
+ It is fun to play as the killer
+ It is fun to play against the killer

- Perks are average at best
- Missed opportunity to bring a new map into the game

To round thinks up: The killer is one of the weeker killers, i think it would be nice to have some stronger killers and i think the onryo should get some buffs but overall i'm fine with that strength.

I honestly really like Sadako! She's really fun to play, looks really cool, and has amazing menu music (which actually makes me want to play her more) that give off scary vibes! Her single problem is that she is a bit weak to the current healing meta. It can also be difficult to hit people at pallet loops, but her bonus against that is the fact that she's short and her invisibility she gets in and out of for a few seconds after she manifests can confuse survivors.

Ring 七夜怪談

I remember that night in a thunderstorm, when we were coming home from a private cram school, the girl pulled me and said let's not take the elevator, let's take the stairs, I said no, the safe passage was too dark, but I agreed to walk the corridor together.
Oh my God, who knows how I got down, I held her hands and clothes tightly and walked for nearly 50 minutes before coming down. She also deliberately slapped me with her clothes over my face, and she took DV photographs of me, and God knows, she likes to take pictures, and she's shooting at this time
I'm not afraid, really I'm just afraid there's a danger of laughing XDDD
I don't want to say that later because it's about privacy, because it's a clip in my journal
Downstairs, she opened her backpack and pulled out a few discs and a few horror fiction DVDs, and I remember one of them was a comic, why I remember because I was reading in the quilt and then couldn't sleep in the middle of the night hahaha

She told me that she had enjoyed watching the movie lately.

One of them is Koji Suzuk's "Ring Movie"

我記得那一天 晚上在一場雷雨中,當我們從私立補習學校回家時,她拉著我說我們不要坐電梯,讓我們走樓梯,我說不,安全通道太黑了,但我同意一起走走廊。
我的天啊,誰知道我是怎麼下來的,我緊緊地握著她的手和衣服,走了將近50分鐘才下來。她還故意的拍打我 用衣服蓋我的臉 用DV攝影拍我 天知道 她喜歡拍照 這時候也在拍 不知道為什麼後來用VR體驗恐怖遊戲時 身旁的人故意拍我 嚇我 我也能想到這件事
我不怕,真的不害怕 我只是擔心會有危險 安全通道真的很黑 笑 XDDD
後面我不想說 它涉及隱私 因為這是寫在我的日記裡的 夾著拷貝的她那晚拍的DV錄影帶 真的好好笑 漫畫書
樓下,她打開背包,拿出幾碟和幾本恐怖小說 DVD,我記得有一本是漫畫,為什麼我記得 因為我是在被子里看,然後半夜睡不著哈哈哈

她告訴我,她最近很喜歡看這部電影。

其中之一是鈴木光世的《ring電影》

Yoichi's perks are bad. Sadako's perks are mediocre except Call of Brine, and you can live without Call of Brine.
Sadako herself is f u c k i n g t e r r i b l e and it's goddamn hilarious that BHVR thought releasing a Killer like this in the current game state was in any way a good idea.

This is the most fun DLC they've released in a while. Sadako is both fun to play as and against in my opinion, and she has good perks too. Yoichi is a very handsome boy, and his perks are all solid or good.
8/10 I'd say.

MetaNoia

I enjoy all the killers, but the Ringu character (Onryo) is easily one of my top 3 to play as or against. The sound design is great, and the unique animations for interactions with the survivors and environment are equally fantastic. The perks are also both highly useful and encourage more sportsmanship in gameplay. Highly recommend this DLC.

SKAvor

The Survivor doesn't have anything remarkable, so I will just skip that.
So, the idea behind the new Killer Sadako isimplementing a Killer without a real chase power. The idea is nice and the design is very cool. She can teleport to TVs scattered around the map. These take a while to turn on after a match starts, after they are teleported to or after a Survivor turns them off.
The teleports restrain your view, you make a sound and take 2-3 seconds to emerge.
She can manifest and demanifest. Manifested she is a normal Killer without any Power, demanifested she loses Terror Radius and can teleport.
If she teleports close to survivors, they get condemned. If they get too much of that, they can get mori'd when they are on the ground similar to Pyramid Heads Mini-Mori.
Without going into too much detail: No Chase Power, so Chases are... just not special in and way and just not that great. Teleports in Chase work against newer players and better on some maps but all in all wont work at all.
Combining 2 addons gives her a little chase power in short loops.
Condemned will almost never happen if a survivor isn't completely oblivious to what he has to do.
So she has a slight bit of stealth, nothing in chase, can teleport on command but takes a while to regain teleports used and has a passive slowdown of Condemnation that almost never gets into play, and if it does, it is mostly negligible.
She looks cool, is a fun to play but really not a strong Killer by herself.

Although, in my opinion, this chapter is the best in case of aesthetic, it lacks when it comes to gameplay. Both Yoichi and Sadako have some interesting perks, though Onryo's gameplay is harder than average and her power is rather useless. Overall would recommend watching a few videos before buying the chapter.

mightybear7

This is the least enjoyable DLC for me. If you are a Ringu Fan i think you will like it, but i do not get the appeal of Ringu, i just like Dead By Daylight.

The Onryo, Sadako Yamamura, is unfortunately a killer who i think is one of the weakest. She has stealth, map mobility, and a "condemned" mechanic that allows her to mori survivors without needing to hook. However every aspect of her kit is very weak. Her Stealth is like wraith where she can cloak and uncloak, but she gets no speed boost, and has a directional lullaby. The directional lullaby is extremely bad for stealth, you'd be better off not cloaked and using Tinkerer. She can teleport to TVs that are placed around the map, but these TVs are placed in impractical locations, 8-16 meters away from generators and not facing them. TVs also have extremely long cooldowns, 100 seconds after being teleported to and 60 seconds if a survivor turns it off. Survivors that witness TV teleports and turn off TVs gain condemned progress. Condemned is very hard to apply and easy to get rid of. Even when a survivor gets fully condemned, inserting a tape to get condemned is shorter than a successful basic attack cooldown, which means that if survivors are healthy, they aren't really in danger.

Her teleport is very weak and doesn't warrant the ability for survivors to be able to disable it, and condemned is pathetic. Her lullaby should not be directional.

What makes the state of this killer even worse is that the next killer, The Dredge, is an original killer than can teleport to lockers. It is better than sadako in every way and it's questionable the fact that this killer is releasing straight after.

Merciless Storm is not that useful even when used optimally with the Doctor. Better to use Dead Man's Switch. Call of Brine is good. Scourge Hook : Floods of Rage, is okay.

The Survivor Yoichi Asakawa is the son of Reiko in the movie, who has been aged up a lot so they can be in DBD. The backstory is an official continuation of his story which is pretty cool. His perks are very weak though, only Empathic Connection is good for solo queue.

I don't recommend this DLC. The killer is weak and all of the perks are nothing worthwhile and killers like The Nightmare or the next killer, The Dredge, are very similar but way more practical. If you are a Ringu fan, don't expect sadako to be like she is in her movie. In DBD, she is the little girl that survivors get to bully.

her playstyle will be completely outdone by the next killer coming in 10 days from posting this review since their power is Sadako's power but more versatile + anti-loop
her condemn is not really doing anything

killer perks are decent but not meta
survivor perks look also decent but not meta

decent chapter but kinda disappointed that Sadako is just Wraith + Demogorgon but worse

I love The Ring. Gore Verbinski's version of the film is one of my favorite spooky movies ever. But yes, Sadako is unfortunately very weak at this point in time. While her perks are all generally pretty useful, her power is weak at best. The condemned final mori never happens unless you're playing against very noobish survivors, because most experienced survivors will just ignore the TVs. Additionally, the TVs are never in an optimal place. The Dredge and Demo have her beat because lockers and the ability to place your own portals is so much better than random TVs placed everywhere. Also, Yoichi is very boring and his perks feel very uninspired. I'm recommending this purely on the basis that this is worth it if you're a fan of The Ring, because the feel of and actually playing as Sadako can feel very good when things go right for you. But if you're purely looking at this for the perks/power, I would wait until Sadako is hopefully buffed in the future.

Yes?

If you want to buy this DLC for the killer, then don't waste your money. The Dredge is better in every way.

If you want to buy it for the perks, don't waste your money. These perks are situational at best.

If you want to buy it for the IP, enjoy having a D-rank killer you'll never play and a survivor that looks like a banana.

If you want to buy it for the banana, that's understandable.

Awesome killer, but completely muddled down by this game, it's like she wasn't even designed for this game. Her kit doesn't fit in at all, and you'll just get bullied by 4 stacks just buy $5 worth of auric cells and buy the survivor alone, At least he has one redeeming perk.

Ok, I love this chapter I really do! I love the aesthetic Sadako looks great and I think the inclusion of Yoichi was a super good choice! But Sadako is very weak unfortunately (especially compared to Dredge) I love her personally and can look past her disadvantages (I main her and am incredibly biased-) but for newer players I would recommend Dredge as there like Sadako but slightly easier.

Very weak killer. Fun? Sometimes, if you're playing against Solo-Q people. She gets completely overwhelmed by basically 2 survivors knowing how to push a button to turn off a Tv-Set...

This chapter did not receive a fair flashing lights and light sensitivity warning.
I had avoided game play of her and only watched official trailers/ teasers and the warning put on this page is a generalized warning that is put on most - if not all - games. It was placed at the bottom of the page above the system requirements.
I did not think it would be that bad but mid-game it began to have flashing lights along the screen. I am lucky that flashing lights only triggers me to faint, as other people I know could easily have seizures.
The flashing lights/ light sensitivity warning should be much further up the page and explicitly mention how bad it can be with this chapter.

Not the best killer, but definitely not the worst.
I got the merciless killer achievement in the first match I played her,
Nemesis took me around 8 games. Take that for what you will.

In my opinion, a better Freddy with undetectable being built in.

It also contains a pleasant surprise 1 week after you buy it.
