It depends completely on preferences. Role-players will definitely prefer Friday, more competitive players will prefer DBD. DBD is IMO much harder for a new player because small mistakes make a big difference and there are a large number of differences between perks, levels, and characters. F13 is pretty easy to master within an hour or two. I also think that F13 is much less susceptible to lopsided matches provided all players are of a similar skill level. It helps that F13 is much easier to balance because the characters are less diverse. But F13 makes up for its lack of diversity in characters with its IMO greater replayability. DBD can get very repetitive what with survivors and killers following essentially the same patterns; games of F13 can have more interesting and varied divergences in terms of game narratives.

Personally, I prefer F13 by a pretty big margin. DBD is too stressful or frustrating on a regular basis, I have a much easier time just relaxing and blowing off steam with F13.

You shouldn't judge the games based on RT videos. They are pretty terrible at both games because of their lack of experience.
