Dead by Daylight: Ghost Face Review (Rude DaRude)

Well, I shall be honest.
Ghostface is a really fun to play Killer, especially with his high jumpscare potential, just like Myers. His ability, Night Shroud, is one of the best stealth abilities in the game, almost as good as Myers with the Scratched Mirror. You can have zero terror radius and be able to stalk Survivors(either the usual way or by leaning from a corner) in order to get them Exposed, making them one shot for a good period of time. 45 seconds, to be exact. All these, as long as he is not revealed, either by a Survivor looking at him for too long or by him missing an attack or getting stunned. Also, he's the only Killer who can properly T-bag. So if you feel like humiliating an entitled Survivor who annoyed you for most of the match, there you go.
His perks though... are a mixed bag.
-Thrilling Tremors is by far his best ability, allowing him to see if Survivors are working on gens or not while the other ones remain blocked for 16 seconds. May have a cooldown of 60 seconds at best, but it really helps with tracking down Survivors working on gens and buys you precious seconds. A really good anti-gen and tracking perk.
-Furtive Chase is pretty pointless. You can get up to 4 tokens that reduce your Terror Radius IN A CHASE by 4 meters every time you hook the obsession. Whoever unhooks the Obsession, becomes the Obsession. Pretty pointless, unless you play Scratched Mirror Myers or try to do a No Terror Radius build for spooky memes.
-I'm All Ears reveals the auras of Survivors that perform a rushed action within 48 meters, for 6 seconds. That sounds good, since it could help you with tracking. But who thought that giving this skill a cooldown was a good idea ? Yes, a cooldown. And the lowest you can get the cooldown is 40 seconds, which for me is just dumb. No wonder I almost never see this perk used, unless people are doing Adept Ghostface or have nothing better to choose. Unless Behavior remove the cooldown completely since not a lot of people will perform rushed actions anyway, it may become a bit more viable.
Overall, Ghostface is a really good Killer, if you play him right. Taking full advantage of Night Shroud is essential, since it helps you get closer to Survivors or have them be 1 shots for a good period of time if stalked long enough. But without it, he's a basic M1 Killer. And at high ranks, he will have trouble. Not to mention that he's pretty heavily reliant on add-ons, especially those that help him stalk faster and get Night Shroud faster since it has a cooldown of 30 seconds. Also, he is very map-reliant. Open and bright maps like Azarov, Coldwind or Crotus Prenn are his worst nightmare since he won't be able to properly sneak close to Survivors, risks getting revealed much easier and his scare factor is destroyed. However, smaller and darker maps like The Game, Midwich, Lerry's and even the new Badham Preschool ones... are where he truly shines. Dare I say he will be scary to go against on the visually updated Badham Preschool maps, just like Myers. So if you just wanna have fun spooking people, Ghostface is for you.
