    An amazing survival horror experience and my favourite indie game so far this year; you’ll sure as hell see this one on my list of top 5 games of 2016.

    Dead by Daylight is a good game, but it lacks of content. Hope to see more soon.

    The slasher genre fits great in a multiplayer game, and Dead by Deadlight is a proof of it. Jason Voorhees approves.

    Despite of lack of content in its launch, Dead by Daylight is an original adventure multiplayer game that it is worth and captures perfectly the style of classic movies of horror.

    The idea is great and it's really intense and fun when played with friends. However, it's not the most polished experience, so it might be worth waiting and seeing how it improves in the upcoming months.

    Dead By Daylight is a fantastic concept that, in practice, needed much more work put into it.

    Dead by Daylight executes the concept of a competitive horror game well, but only to a point.

    Dead by Daylight pits four survivors against and overwhelming, Killing machine simply referred to as a Killer. These four survivors must bandDead by Daylight pits four survivors against and overwhelming, Killing machine simply referred to as a Killer. These four survivors must band together to fix generators and make their escape. The gameplay is simple, with very few complex game mechanics making it easy to pick it up and play again and again.. However, the largest issue plaguing this game is the lack of players wanting to play as a Killer. The Killer is the one that hosts the match since this game uses the Peer-to-peer multiplayer formula, so as I said, matches are scarce.

    Another issue is some Killers feel they must camp in order to score enough points to rank up. This not only prevents any rescue to come save a hooked survivor, but usually results in a dulled gameplay experience for both the hooked survivor and the Killer.

    If the Devs would start grinding away at fixing the short comings of this game, it would benefit so much more. Despite the issues, by yourself or with others, this game is definitely worth the $17 I paid. I am logging over 140 hours and still climbing.    … Expand
