It really isn't a good game although sometimes it can get intense trying to stay alive but playing as the killer isn't very fun and you'll probablly want to play survivor the majority.Id recommend maybe trying it but don't buy it its not worth the budget price either 4.5/10 Expand

    Dead by Daylight
    Annoying for everyone
    Dead by Daylight is a competitive online game where you play as either a survivor, or the killer… Both of these characters are customizable....and are leveled up by completeing tasks and actions in a match… At the end of a match you can use your earned points and dump them into a skill tree to buff your character… And all matches are ranked so

    Annoying for everyone
    Dead by Daylight is a competitive online game where you play as either a survivor, or the killer…
    Both of these characters are customizable....and are leveled up by completeing tasks and actions in a match…
    At the end of a match you can use your earned points and dump them into a skill tree to buff your character…
    And all matches are ranked so don’t worry about unbalanced games
    But these features are the only good this game has going for it, because the rest is a bunch of sluggish and boring garbage…
    There is no story mode here, no prepper tutorial... Just 1 single game mode of survive or hunt…
    As a survivor your goal is to escape with all the members in your group…
    This is a 4 v 1 game
    Run around an uninteresting map looking for repair parts and using these parts the sabotage hooks and fix the generators around the map…
    then activate the gates and escape…
    All the meanwhile trying not get caught and healing teammates that do get injured as you’re able to wiggle your way from the killer, and you’re able to help your teammates off of the hooks…
    Being a survivor is in no way fun at all though...
    You can hide in closets... push things in front of the killer as you try to run away...
    But for the most part youre just feeling your way around a dark map hoping you find something so you can leave…
    chases aren’t thrilling, theyre sluggish and cheap…
    And things are just as annoying for the killer…
    As the killer you run around the map trying to either zap or slash the players trying to survive..
    You can grab the hurt player, carry them to a hook and sacrifice them...
    Your goal is to sacrifice all 4 before they can escape…
    This really feels like a game of freeze tag…
    And players will constantly do the annoying playground tactics of run around a giant rock…
    or copping over a ledge over and over until you just get annoyed and crush it with your foot giving them time to run away...
    This definitely keeps the game feeling balanced…
    But it also keeps the game feeling annoying…
    especially the whole running around in circles but trying to get in a lucky swing…
    it is more satisfying to play as the killer though…
    Of catching someone who thinks they’re clever…
    And you’re given enhanced hearing so you can sense when a survivor is repairing a generator or just recently hid in a closet...
    These moments are enjoyable and almost make up for the overall dull experience that is dead by daylight…
    Almost...
    This game is still bad…
    I give Dead by Daylight
    a 4/10

    This game got pulled from Beta way too early and is still littered with game breaking bugs that turn off a lot of new players. This was obviously rushed to market by Starbreeze as a cash grab (remember that Payday 2 micro-transaction fiasco? Same studio...). The matchmaking system is completely broken and the ranking system seems to provide no real purpose because of it.

    This game got pulled from Beta way too early and is still littered with game breaking bugs that turn off a lot of new players. This was obviously rushed to market by Starbreeze as a cash grab (remember that Payday 2 micro-transaction fiasco? Same studio...). The matchmaking system is completely broken and the ranking system seems to provide no real purpose because of it.
    Example. You just started and you're rank 20 survivor, you're really going to like when the terrible matchmaking system puts your group up against a rank 10 or even a rank 1 killer...that is, after you've spent 5 minutes just trying to find a match.
    Now that you're in the game, you get to sneak around fixing generators and evading capture. But surprise! The match is HOSTED BY THE KILLER! Hope he has a good internet connection, because if he doesn't and you didn't type a bunch of stuff in chat to test his ping (that's the only way to do it so far, as a latency meter or even minimum requirements are not yet implemented to let you know that you can barely maintain a solid connection to the host who must be using some sort of Pre-Y2K internet provider.
    If you got in a game and the host has good ping, you are going to be in for a good time....unless you get stuck on one of the several terrain glitches which will make it impossible to move and out in the open to get helplessly murdered. If the killer is the Hillbilly, pray that he doesn't have his chain add-on which makes it impossible for others to heal you.
    Barring that, you just have to hope that you can stay alive long enough to either escape or be the last one left and get out through a hatch in the ground.
    You got out...good job, but you didn't do enough to get a pip to rank up and unfortunately escaping doesn't always equal a win. Better luck next time!

    Just to show that it's not all survivor based bugs, lets talk about being the killer. Not quite as bad a situation with the matchmaking. You start up a lobby and wait for people to join....what's this?! You're rank 20 and there's a rank 17 survivor (because Killers can see the survivors ranks and levels before starting a match), now your going to have to leave close the lobby and try to find a better group.
    Ok, all rank 20 survivors and nobody over level 10, this is going to be easy! Start game....things are going well so far, you've found some survivors fixing a generator and you've got one of them on the run. Looks like we're headed into some broken down silo...and he's through the window.

    Still chasing this guy around this broken down silo and everyone else has left the game and he just escaped through the hatch that always spawns right next to the silo. RAGE QUIT!
    Check out the discussion boards, because this can't be how the game is meant to be played....looks like this is an "infinite" and was even confirmed by the devs as an exploit.....but, if it's an exploit, why is it still in the game????

    There are a lot of problems with this game, but in all honestly, it is still a lot of fun to play. Before purchasing, check out the discussion forums on Steam to see for yourself the laundry list of things that are wrong. If you're not a patient person, you're not going to be happy with this purchase in its current state. If you have the patience and time to put into the game, eventually you will learn the maps and level up enough to start really enjoying the game for what it is....a good way to make people rage quit and an addictingly fun time!

    Currently, the best way to enjoy this game is by watching AngryPug play it on twitch....it's a riot to watch (dewdewdew!)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried to give this game a chance and building my second PC, this is one of the games I wanted to play. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the game. The optimization is bad. At first, I didn't have a problem, but by the seventh, eighth, and ninth game it's clear the game is not properly optimized and I'm running two MSI RX-480 video cards. The game is unbalanced. If you are a low level, whether killer or survivor, good luck. Survivor was boring; I remember playing one match as a survivor and I waited around for others to do work and walked out the door not lifting a finger other than escaping. Playing as a killer is the worse. The only one I got a KILL AFTER FIVE RANDOM GAMES was the witch and it took me three tries to kill the person on the meat hook. The only saving grace is the cost because the game is cheap. Unless you plan on playing with friends, you will not like the grind aspect of the game and how they use the microtransactions in the game **** up the flow. AGAIN, if you not playing with friends, pass on this. I will keep the game whenever I can convince my friend's to play. Expand

    This game is kinda boring, With random survivors, you will likely fail to escape the "Monster".
    The gameplay is boring in its self, the only good thing with the gameplay might be the jump scares when you get caught by the "Monster". But overall a boring game, and i would not recommend it for something to play in 2020.
    The game isn't fun. It's not the kind of game people enjoy playing.

    The game isn't fun. It's not the kind of game people enjoy playing. There are no unique modes. There are no modding or custom maps for the game, and all you do is to repair generators and get out.
    It's only popular because of its fancy marketing and deep lore and just capitalized on that CS GO type crowd that blames each other when a game has even the most obvious problems.

    These recommendations come with a boatload of “ifs.” There’s a good game in here somewhere, but in order to find it you’ll have to know where to look, and perhaps turn a blind eye to some big drawbacks.

Of course its not every case that this reality will come to affect you, its not every game you loose , and its not every game you win, but even playing with teamates the game tends to still be very hard for some players, even if theyre pros. for a killer otherwise, each one of them have a very especific and different way of persuing the survivors, different weapons, different attacks, abilitys and etc. But it gets even worse when we come to talk about the add-ons for killers, some of them can and will be really even more game changing for the killer, and will give a very big advantage to kill all 4 survivors, competitively that is a very hard scenario to counter for the 4 survivors, and even tho thats not the only problem, we also have a very out of sync system when the killer is chasing you and hitting you, causing you die because of some bug or something that was not supposed to happen, plus all the other bugs and problems with the ping in game where for the killer can be really powerful since theres nothing a survivor can do other then run, but wait, did i also tell you that survivors don't run as fast as the killer run? Thats right. I think theres alot of reasons for everyone to hate this game, and that is obvious, the only good thing i can think about dbd is playing a custom match with friends and using all the fun perks where you do as much as possible to make the killer angry, because thats the only thing you can do to "counter" the killer or gain up time for your teamates to be able to escape, In general its not a bad game, but competitively, its totally unbalenced, unsyncronized , bad hitboxes, alot of bugs that can and will get you killed in the middle of a chase Expand

Sometimes I cranked the hours up but between these times I stopped playing for months. Nowadays I turn it on every one to two months and stop playing after one trial. sometimes after a half. The game became an unfunny and buggy mess. All my friends who play this game are constantly permanently complaining. It's kinda annoying.
    Another big problem is the monetization. The base game is fairly priced but when it comes to skins things are getting ridiculous. But you don't have to buy them and the devs have to pay the servers. But given how bad the servers are and how unscary this so called "horrorgame" is, it´s not worth it.
    Here comes a recommendation for you if you still want to try this game: Don't buy to many DLC's at once. At first, when you don't know which of them is worth it, you can end up buying a pretty low quality killer. Also you should focus on learning one or two killers. I can imagine thath DBD with it's actual size can be quite overwhelming for new players. But a big advantage of being new to the game is that you won't recognize the most of the games flaws.
    In the case of Dead by Daylight I think it's quite important to consider how the community is treated by the developers. Because it is a constantly evolving live service game the dev's are supposed to listen to the community. The sad reallity is that they neither listen to their fans nor are they receptive to critsism. Behavior even throws content creators out of their partnerahip program if they complain about the game.

    Of course, there is no place for the faint-hearted.
    Despite the fact that the reviews of this game in Steam are "Positive", I still do not recommend playing this game.
    DBD just isn't fun. Rather, it takes time and gives almost nothing in return.
    There is no place for beginners, simply because it makes no sense.

    - There is STILL massive lag and discrepancy in hitboxes. Jumping over a pallet or window from a killer and moving will sometimes still allow you to be hit from afar. Huntress STILL hits you from around corners.

    - Playing with randoms is one of the worst experiences imaginable in most circumstances. Survivors will camp unhooks instead of working gens, killers will face camp and tunnel out of the whazoo, if you 4 kill as killer god help you because you'll be getting passive aggressive messages calling you trash.

    - The more killers and survivors which are released, the more of an unbalanced mess the game becomes. Ever since the perk and prestige rework the game has dramatically gone downhill.

    So far, this game is utterly unplayable at a satisfying level.

    If this game has set out to be an immersive, terrifying horror experience, it has failed. The moment you introduce a progression system and a ranking system, it becomes all about the grind. People will play it not for the experience, but to be the best, to be number one at all costs. This, in most situations, would not be all that bad, if we were talking about a sports game or a MOBA. However, this is not either of those. This is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror title.

    When you enable players to begin playing "for points," all elements of immersion are tossed out the window. Survivors are encouraged to do blatantly stupid things such as encourage killers to chase them, not as distractions serving to buy their friends more time but simply to farm the points. When something doesn't go their way, killers and survivors alike quit to avoid losing precious, precious rank.

    There is no replayability here. Once survivors learn "the tactics," the juke spots, how to exploit animations, how to exploit mechanics, and most importantly, that nothing but the sweet points matter, there will be no game. There will be no engagement, no variation and no fun.

    The only attraction this game has is to frighten Youtubers and have a laughing good time with a small group of friends, and then discard it immediately.

    If that were not enough, this game is a buggy, unplayable mess.

    There are good ideas here. The overall theme of the game, that of an asymmetrical multiplayer horror title, is interesting. Some of the mechanics presented are unique, and on the surface, they work. However, if you go anywhere deeper into this game, more than just a game or two with friends, you will run into countless bugs including, but not limited to:

    *Perks that do not work. Some perks are simply nonfunctional. There has been a patch to address nonfunctioning perks, but it has not fixed all of them.

    *Latency issues causing warping/teleporting survivors - this appears to be because the killer is the host in all situations, regardless of who has the best internet connection. This also allows the killer to DC and take the game, and everyone's points, with them.

    *If survivors are knocked down near other things that require the interaction key to be pressed (default Spacebar), such as being knocked down next to a window that you can vault over, the survivor can become uninteractable, preventing the killer from picking them up to go sacrifice them, or friends from being able to help them back up.

    *Problems with hacking and exploiting are abundant. The game stores everything locally, and as a result it is possible for players to compromise the game using tricks or malicious tools or editing software that grants them anything from experience points (called blood points in-game) to invincibility, invisibility, super speed, infinite limited-use items, and worse.

    *There are a million, million clipping issues, places to get hung up on or stuck on terrain, animation errors, hit box errors, and issues such as "If someone disconnects while the killer is carrying them, the killer's game will freeze." You can also become stuck in the geometry with no way out.

    *Various problems with the ranked system. Currently the game is plagued by disconnects and ragequitters who will pull the plug because disconnecting does NOT cause you to lose ranks, only your accumulated points. Disconnecting is completely safe because you do not lose any rank rating AT ALL for disconnecting.

    *Balancing issues abound. Currently, survivors are able to "cheese" the killer by using window ledges or pallets that they can jump over indefinitely, while killers traverse much slower. Survivors are able to hop over windows infinitely, kiting killers with no recourse (such as the hillbilly and wraith, both of whom have no effective counterplay to window hopping).

    *An absolutely terrible progression system that rewards you with RANDOM upgrades that you purchase with points earned in every match, which encourages people to farm points. This sometimes leads to survivors purposefully baiting killers, or killiers repeatedly spamming abilities (such as the wraith's invisibility) just to earn points. If you don't get ENOUGH points in a match, regardless of whether you escape or everyone dies, you lost rank.

    *A terrible ranking system based on the points you earn, which can be impeded in a number of ways, as described above. If a survivor ragequits because a killer grabbed them early, the killer gets NO points and may even lose ranking!

    Do not purchase this game. It is not worth your money.

    Dead by Daylight is what happens when developers have no idea what they're doing. The basic premise appears to be inspired by Last Year, while the game itself appears to have raced against it for release.

    DbD is currently a beta. The devs have the audacity to call it a full release and charge $20 for it, but if it isn't a beta, it's an alpha. It's riddled with bugs which seem to increase in number every patch, and every aspect of the design shows little to no thought.

    The gameplay is a fairly novel idea, which explains one of the points I gave the game. One player is the Killer, one of now-four, each with a unique special ability. The Killer must locate and kill the four Survivors they're made to host, with the advantages of superior footspeed and constant knowledge of the location of generators, the Survivors' objectives. Survivors must repair generators, open escape doors, and leave.

    Here's where the mess begins. Killers can only kill via the sacrificial hooks scattered around the level. In order to secure a kill, they must hit someone twice without them being healed in the interim, haul them over to an available hook, put them on it, and then either repeat the process two more times or prevent any other Survivor from coming near them for two minutes. Survivors can unhook each other, and apparently meat hooks through the intestines require no delicacy in removing, because doing so takes a fraction of a second and isn't interrupted if the hooked Survivor is struck instead of the unhooker by a misfortune of hitboxes. This is why some Killers take to their most reviled behaviour: Facecamping. Rather than attempt to play the game, some Killers will hover in front of their victims to ensure they generate the pitiful trickle of "BloodPoints" all life in the game revolves around. This is indescribably boring for both parties involved.

    Survivors can also destroy hooks, either with an item or with a unique slotted ability, which as one might predict, can lead to the Killer being completely impotent. Killers do have four indestructible hooks in their basements, but two problems arise there:
    -Maps are quasi-randomly generated, meaning the basement can easily be too far away from where anything is happening.
    -A Killer Perk which extends the time for which Survivors may be carried is near-mandatory, which also pisses off Survivors.

    Why can't a Killer -by name- actually kill people? Oh, they can. You just need to obtain and consume a single-use rare item which puts a stipulation on which person you may kill and is lost regardless of if it's used.

    While these and the generally shallow gameplay of Killer might be enough to make someone abandon the role alone, another fun factor is the terrible community. Toxic and entitled, countless players will go out of their way to antagonize Killers (since Survivors are better at this than Killers are), or even sabotage their teammates for more income. The miserible natures of these players are only supplmented by the developers' apparent inability to remove what are called "infinites;" areas where Survivors can make use of windows or terrain to be literally impossible for a Killer to catch, failing an error.

    Killers only need to be 20% of the population, and still Survivor queues are massive because the devs can't even make that many people enjoy the position.

    Perhaps the game would be less of a misery pit were it not constantly demanding the aformentioned BloodPoints (or BP). If you're a new player, collect a few hundred thousand (many hours fo gameplay, inflated further due to lack of game knowledge) before you can use a second Perk (up to 4) against all of your opponents, who likely have the complete meta build due to the complete absence of matchmaking. If you're a competitive player, enjoy agonizing over the meaningless presence of rankings in this asymmetrical, RNG-based game, and then feel the biases the arbitrary "pip" requirements of BP to earn in a match instill in the community. Thankfully, there is no reward for being a higher rank, or the community could find a way to be even more salty and miserible.

    The actual "shop" system is also RNG, and also an atrocity, but I'm running short on space. Suffice it to say that players must make many worthless purchases, even of items they outright don't want, can't share items between compatable characters, and are fundamentally locked into progressing a single character at a time as a result. Thankfully for Survivors, all this means is that it's more of a pain to get the Perks they want, because Survivors have nothing unique about them intrinsically.

    If you've even considered getting Dead by Daylight, get Friday the 13th, or Last Year, or nothing, or just wait. Just don't buy this.

    Like a lot of user reviews have already said, this game has a wonderfully fresh concept, but the devs blew it hard by not balancing it correctly. That and the amount of glitches this game still has is insane, considering it has been out this long.

    Why is the balancing bad? To put it simple, there are exploits for both survivors and killer that throttle any enjoyment one may get from
    Like a lot of user reviews have already said, this game has a wonderfully fresh concept, but the devs blew it hard by not balancing it correctly. That and the amount of glitches this game still has is insane, considering it has been out this long.

    Why is the balancing bad? To put it simple, there are exploits for both survivors and killer that throttle any enjoyment one may get from playing this game. Survivors will use exploits like 'infinite looping' in levels mixed in with 'pallet looping' so the killer can never catch them. That and SWF, a feature that lets 4 friends play together, often destroy killer players because of how over powered it is. Players on mic can always tell each other where the killer is on the map and coordinate accordingly, ruining any surprise elements the game has to offer. This feature is gamebreaking, but the devs still allow it.

    On the killer side of things, killers use an exploit called 'hook camping.' With how broken the game is, there really isn't much incentive to actually play it correctly. Which is to chase survivors. What killers will do is hook someone and just stand in front of them, which is also known as 'face camping.' 7/10 games I play these days consist of these kinds of players. There's also another exploit where killers can put players in what's called a 'basement' then use a perk that allows them to camp even harder. Survivors will try to play the game normally, which is saving each other, only to get killed trying to save the person being hook camped. Making an easy win for the killer. Until this day the devs acknowledge this as a legitimate strategy and won't fix it. This feature is gamebreaking, but the devs still allow it.

    Killers camp and as a result players try to infinite loop the killers so they don't get caught. It's a vicious cycle that has gotten out of control lately. Most games just come out to who can be the most toxic/trolly towards each other. With survivors teabagging and killers taunting each other. The whole horror element is stripped and the fun is just not there anymore.

    When I first started playing Dead by Daylight, it was fun. As I grew in skill and rank "I'm both rank 1 for survivor and killer" the toxicity only got worse. These days it's hard to find enjoyment playing this game and again the glitches make the whole experience that much more painful. I really wanted this game to succeed at one point, but with the way things are it's not going to. Things have gotten too out of hand at this point and the devs won't do anything about it. Of course they have no problem releasing purchasable cosmetics through the in game store though. I think the devs pretty much know this game is a sinking ship at this point and are just trying to get cash out of it with as minimal effort to actually fixing it as possible. Like scraping an empty jar of peanut butter for one last in hopes to make on last sandwich.

    Basically... there are cosmetic and animation differences between the DLC"s and that's basically it. The game does not change. It's the same game. Sure you go into different environments but you do not do anything different. Regardless of the DLC. The game seems fun at first but wears out fast. There is an upgrade system to unlock things... but it's just not enough for me.

    Billy: pass the map like on a motorcycle without exhaustion and also throws you with 1 stroke.

    Nurse: destroy the mechanics of running, jumping windows and throwing palees, (can be teleported).

    Spirit: with a single button you can pass from 1 side of the map to the other, and the mechanics where they are?

    Oni: it's the same as Billy, he can run all over the map and shoot several 1-click survivors, besides the turns he makes are broken.

    Fredy: this is one of the most broken of all, it can be teleported directly to the engines, you do not have to run or do chases, it can also put fake palees and slow down and has the strongest hitbox in the game.
    Hitbox: (hit with more distance from the game).

    Besides that the assassins can camper and tunnel you or leave you on the ground without receiving any punishment, they can play in the most toxic way and nothing will happen to them, but the survivors punish them for everything.

    Survivors: the rank systems are dismal, there are red ranks that only know how to make engines and in chases it doesn't last 15 seconds, besides there are players who pass stuck to the engine and do not rescue the teammates, the genrush is a problem and it is because Those people who only enter to make motors, have to make a new system of ranges because this is very badly done and put more points for persecutions and put new objects for the survivors, because the only thing there is is the medicine cabinet lantern and toolboxes.

Купив эту игру, играя на низких рангах, я играл за выживших, за мана, ничего не предвещало беды, как только я поднялся чуть выше, я не смог устоять от этой игры, как только ты идешь играть за мана на средних - высоких рангах, у тебя начинает гореть 5-я точка. Для начало ты заспавнишь, и стоявших перед тобой сурв немного попресидает, чтобы ты напрягся, не забывая при этом проходить пару кругов на одном месте вместе с тобой, наконец ты дал ему хит, при том что осталось 2 гена, наносишь ему последний удар, поднимаешься и..... Нет, ты не ведёшь его к крюку, либо твое лицо засветит фонарик его тиммейта, либо он заюзает перк "осколок" и убежит на край карты, пока ты будешь оглушен 5 секунд, при таком раскладе ты автоматом проигрываешь. Допустим мы игнорируем мансера и идём по генераторам, но все равно тот мансер даёт о себе знать, безнаказанно чиня генераторы за твоей спиной. При таких действиях очень сложно, но всё-таки возможно выйграть, но это только при условии того, что против тебя будут играть соло игроки. Если же ты играешь против целой команды, у тебя нет и шанса на победу, у КАЖДОГО из тимы есть 4 имба перка, которые позволяют безболезненно принимать на себя удар, бессмертие на какой то промежуток времени, тот самый осколок, который не даст повесить тебе сурва и рывок, с помощью которого ты ещё проходишь пару кругов. Но это ещё не всё, так как они играют в тиме, они будут знать о КАЖДОМ твоём шаге, и ты просто не сможешь ничего сделать, они хилят друг друга за мгновения, могут лечить себя мгновенно с помощью перка, светить тебе в лицо, чтобы ты был оглушен и окончательно пригорел. В конце конечно все сопровождается каплей токсичности. ВСЕ ЭТО НА СРЕДНИХ РАНГАХ, мне страшно представить, что будет дальше. Хах, ты только что узнал что маны бесполезны, да? ТАК купи парочку длс по 180 рублей, чтобы продвинуться чуть дальше и снова сгореть. Многие считают что маны имба, стоя перед крюком, но дело тут в рангах, пока маньяк будет сидеть 2 минуты, до тех пор пока сурва не заберёт сущность, другие игроки уже давно заведут все генераторы и выйграют катку. Игра совершенно несбалансированна, а разработчики положили на нее болт, добавляя скины для фанатов "побегушек", по другому это не назвать. Вместо пряток и интересной игры, образовалась игра "собачка" где собака - это Ман, а те кто кидают мяч - сурвы. Пойдет только для игр с друзьями, не более. Expand

The theme is fun for a while but the whole horror aspect quickly wears thin. The progression grinds are completely out of control. The microtransactions are predatory. The community wears toxicity as a badge of honour. The developers do nothing but release endless MTX content that you simply can't avoid buying if you actually want to enjoy yourself. Public queues are a flaming pile of rotten horse manure. Frustration is the only thing you're guaranteed to experience if you play this with randoms.

    Custom Matches, on the other hand, are a breath of fresh air. The pressure to progress is lifted. Every perk and item is unlocked for everyone. The toxic community who taunt your every move and spam racial slurs in post-game chat on an hourly basis is locked out. The MTX suddenly seems a lot more reasonable now it's not associated with hundreds of hours of grinding per purchase. The action suddenly becomes fun! You and your friends will probably have a pretty good time if you spend a few hours together in voice chat, laughing and joking and just enjoying yourselves without the pressure to progress dogging your every move.

    Which just goes to underline how completely the developers have mismanaged the public queues and progression systems. Never pay full price for this, and make sure you know people who have it because you don't ever EVER want to hit that "Ready" button with strangers.

    For five years, the developers have continued to add characters, mechanics, and maps to this franchise which is admirable. Unfortunately, there are too many ingredients in this potluck. One side of this asymmetric game has a much smaller plate than the other, and it shows. Killers can only take 4 of the dozens of perks available while survivors can take 16 with bonus items.

    When this game began, it was HARD to escape the killer. But now, there are only two outcomes for survivors: You either escape easily with a well equipped team, or die because you were paired with a noob. On the killer's side, you are at the mercy of a poor matchmaking system and the restrictions of archaic game mechanics which haven't changed in your favor. You'll feel like a little kid who is told to play a game of hide & seek and is quickly abandoned.

    Up until now, I've unlocked every character, perk, and achievement in the game. I know the mechanics well enough to know that they're broken.

But the devs have their heads so far up their asses they won’t fix exploits or balance their game. There are a alot of things that completely ruin this game. The killer can literally face camp or tunnel survivors with little to no consequence. This leads to either gen rushing and leaving the person on the hook or being too altruistic and basically saving the person on the hook only to knocked down and put back on the hook immediately. They need to have a Kindred as a passive perk to discourage this behavior or give a dumbed down version of Borrowed Time. As a killer I feel like you have a good chance to “win”(I consider killing at least 2 people good) if you know your characters strengths. Also there are some very OP killers and it seems like the devs only try to make every killer more busted than the last. The ranking system is a joke for multiple reasons but the biggest is farming. Killers control the game so if they wanna farm then everyone is ranking up. The DC temporary ban has given the killer more control and some even take the game hostage by letting the same survivor wiggle off their shoulder and they will just keep downing them...This game used to be very fun but lately it’s a mess. Basically if you want to have fun don’t care about winning, just troll and you’ll have a great time. Also devs have **** on survivors items all the while killer add one have only gotten more busted. I play survivor more bc I like playing with friends. But nowadays we only play to give the killer a hard time not even care about winning. My message to devs is: BALANCE YOUR GAME! Stop coming out with cosmetic crap no one cares about! You have become greedy and lost sight of what the game started out as. Expand

    1. Перки и прокачку в этой игре придумывал аутисты, вместо того что бы добавить новые способности маньяк они просто усиливают им обнаружение выживших разными способами, у тех и так мизерные шансы закончить игру живыми, Лично если я нашел выжившего то он хрен от меня убежит и не какие полеты и прыгалки ему не помогут возможно мой монитор хорош, но шансов скрыться от меня у людей нет я все ровно найду. Но вернемся к перкам, например такой перк как " ВИДЕТЬ АУРУ ГЕНЕРАТОРА ЕСЛИ ЕГО РЕМОНТИРУЮТ ДВОЕ ВЫЖИВШИХ И БОЛЕЕ" - ГЕНИАЛЬНО НЕ ПРАВДА ЛИ И ХРЕН ТЫ УЗНАЕШЬ ОБ ЭТОМ ПЕРКЕ ПОКА НЕ ЗАКОНЧИТСЯ МАТЧ И ТЕМ БОЛЕЕ ЕСЛИ ТЫ ТОЛЬКО НАЧАЛ ИГРАТЬ И НЕ ПОЗНАЛ ВСЕГО ГОВНА КОТОРОГО ТУДА НАПИХАЛИ, А ЕГО ТАМ ДО ХЕРА.
    2. Касается того о чем написал человек ниже на мой предыдущий обзор по этой игре МЕХАНИКИ описание которых вы не найдете в игре, кроме не многочисленных основных подсказок во время загрузки, а лазить по гуглу и форумам, что бы понять как играть мне нахрен не уперлось.
    3.Описание перков в игре. НУ ЭТО ПРОСТО ПИ333ДЕЦ! Что вы понимаете под "ПОВЫШАЕТ УМЕРЕННО УДАЧУ" или "НЕМНОГО СГУЩАЕТ ТЕМНЫЙ ТУМАН" может у меня слишком хороший компьютер, но я не видел в игре ни кого тумана, при этом эта херь есть как у выжившего, так и у маньяка. а интрополяция количественной единицы "УМЕРЕННО" или "НЕМНОГО" вообще хер поймешь на сколько.
    4.Маньяки в максимальной прокачке просто имба и вы это не узнаете пока матч не закончится, а выжившие бичи, у которых в арсенале перки на чтение ауры различных вариаций и починка тех же генераторов.
    6.Ну и последнее, эту игру не обошел такой бич как читы и в сочетании с гемплеем, и перками хер когда ты поймешь, читер человек, или у него имбовые перки, так как риплеев нет, наблюдения за маньяком нет, защиты от читов нет.

    A game that's fun on paper that's destroyed by a p2w element in unlocking other characters. Seriously a console game that has a business model of a mobile game.
    You should be able to unlock characters. Through progression when you have more DLC characters than og characters that's a huge red flag.

    Ultimately this is a sham of a product. Dead By Daylight is 3 years old now, and most of its original launch bugs are still not fixed. Infinite loading screens, bugged out players, lack of dedicated servers (which are still in testing and are extremely unstable). Every critical issue is met with "we're looking into it" for months or years on-end by the developers.

    The developers have setup suggestions forums on storefronts, only to fully ignore the plights of the players. The only reason things are looked at are if they have completely dominated the game's media presence (As recent exploits have, though they were still never fixed anyway, only bans issues for doing them).

    On top of it all, the developers have created DLC equivalent to around 3 times the game's asking price, and then setup a premium-currency store to buy more in-game items for your DLC purchases that they didn't come with. The developers even went as far as to usurp the game's loot system to include free adverts for the DLC instead of other more meaningful loot, and it replaces your rarest loot options on top of that.

    In gameplay itself, overall the original content is good. However, experiencing it is another thing, as the game is now covered in rigged games that prevent you ever playing as the killer and continuing to gain ranks.

    It's over-monetized and under-developed. The only meaningful argument for playing DBD at this point is that it is the best in its genre, but that means very little.

    Looked forward to playing this game for over a year and pre ordered for Xbox One.

Numerous glitches in the game play itself, i.e. traps being under the ground and thus invisible to see, or pallets standing upright in the centre of a gap when they should be by the side waiting to be thrown down, the problem with that glitch is you can throw the pallet down but it still appears standing upright in the centre and you cannot tell when approaching whether or not it has already been thrown down and if there is a need to throw the pallet down or slide over it that need likely means you are being chased hence game play interference in a needless and frustrating way. The list of different glitches i have experienced reached low double figures - 10 or 11 if I remember correctly. Not good enough - but it got worse.

    Now I cannot access the game at all and this inability to access the game, so far at time of writing, has lasted 8 consecutive days. When I attempt to enter the game itself, a 'Save Game Error' appears asking me to contact Behaviour Interactive via an email address detailed in the error message. I have done so numerous times. The first time I received a response within 1 hour and 20 minutes giving me guidance to solve the problem if owning the game on PC. I had detailed specifically to them I was on Xbox One. I replied. The next response took hours and responses beyond that took days. I have requested a refund due to the sale of a faulty product. Behaviour Interactive staff seem to think their company policy overrides law and have stated no refunds are possible. They have sold a faulty product to the point where beyond simply the glitches I now cannot even enter the game and have not been able to for over a week. I have asked Behaviour Interactive numerous questions and have received either no response or generalised responses. This is a novice operation of a company and I will never buy a game made by them again nor would I advise anyone to. I have never experienced anything anywhere near as bad as this on any game on any platform previously. They have sold over 2 million copies of this game but want to keep the revenue and hope customers will be ignorant and accept it. I have had less than one month to use this game before prevention of access. I will look at dealing with them in a court. They've made a lot of money in total from a game badly made and I didn't pay for the stress of conversing with their team or for being able to access the game for such a minimal amount of time. AVOID.

    After 4 years with this game I cannot recommend it.

    Dead By Daylight had it peek at 2016-2017. Of course the game has more people and is far more popular then it was but... it's just not the same. The game was very, VERY unbalanced at the time but, it was a lot more fun to play. Why you ask? Because at that time a shop with cosmetics didn't exist and devs weren't making this game

The game was very, VERY unbalanced at the time but, it was a lot more fun to play. Why you ask? Because at that time a shop with cosmetics didn't exist and devs weren't making this game competitive. Yes, you heard me right, BHVR is making DBD which started as a scary party game into a e-sports competitive show. Also they're prioritizing cosmetics over bug fixes and patches. Did you know that in DBD they're bugs and errors that didn't get fixed since launch? You kinda get the picture how the devs are treating this game.

    Another big problem with this game is the community. In every game you will find a player that will be bashing the opposite role in the post-game chat. It doesn't matter if they did good or played fair, salty killers/survivors will send you awful comments in almost every game.

    Now, let's talk about killers that where released lately. The most efficient way of escaping is a strategy called "looping". As the name suggests you're running around a certain tile that is randomly generated on the map in a certain way that makes it so you stay as far away from the killer as possible. So, know that we know what looping is lets go back to the new killers. Since 2020 almost every killer that was released was punishing you when you where trying to loop, so the only strategy to them is to stop mind-gaming and trying to loop, but to only run forward and drop every pallet early. This play style is very boring and un-fun for both sides. There is no mind-gaming and trying to trick the opponent, it's just holding "W". This is very unhealthy for the game as it removes the fun element of the game which was outsmarting the opponent. There is also no skill cap on the killers that have this play style which means that anybody can pick them up and in few games can start destroying teams in a matter of seconds. Oh, you have over 1,000 hrs as survivor? Don't care you get downed in 10-30 seconds. Oh, almost forgot about survivors. When you play against this type of killer the best strategy on the survivor side is to do generators as fast as possible since chases last around 10-30 seconds, maybe over a minute if you're really good or the killer is pretty bad. That play style is surprise, surprise extremely BORING. To repair a generator alone you need about 80 seconds (I think), imagine doing it 2 or 3 times. There is no skill involved which is a real spit in the face to the people that where putting hours and hours on survivor trying to get good.

    Now the devs are either releasing a really strong killer that has little to no counter play, or a really weak killer that nobody wants to play and is a laugh stock in the entire community.

    If you are thinking about maining this game I don't really recommend it. There are over 20 characters on the survivor and killer side, everybody has unique 3 perks. If you want to have all perks you will need to grind and grind and grind, through a very, VERY tedious and outdated leveling system. When you purchase the game you only get 7 survivor and 5 killers the rest is DLC :) You will have to spend a lot of money if you want to experience DBD fully. Also, don't buy it on the PS4, XBOX1 or Nintendo Switch, the game runs awful on last gens consoles and looks really AWFUL on the Nintendo Switch.

It has some of the most tense multiplayer I’ve ever enjoyed. Playing as the survivor has instances of the greatest teamwork with no communication. Where everyone is doing everything possible to save someone in trouble. And playing as the killer can be exceptionally fun when your moving from survivor to survivor, not caring about the generators because you can put so much pressure on them by just going on a rampaging killing spree. But those moments are so few and far between. There are so many issues within the game that the developers who put this game out 2 YEARS AGO refuse to address. all the issues in Dead by Daylight stems from the moment the killer is no longer seen as a threat.

    This is due to a number of reasons, such as a looping and pallets. Obstacles and pallets are placed generously across the maps to help survivors break chases from the killers. However when the survivor seeks to be chased for points as well as annoying the killer, then there are moments when the killer will get frustrated to point where if he finally catches that target it's more likely he will face camp to remove a player from the game. I understand that the chase is part of the game, however when a survivor is intentionally prolonging the chase for as long as possible it breaks immersion heavily and ruins the game for others. The point that i'm trying to get across is that stealth is not rewarded in the game…. You get more points running around and irritating the killer as much as possible rather than getting the objectives that are the entire point of the game.

    Some killers are going to be able to deal with looping and pallets way better than other, and perks can remedy some of these issues, but let me make this clear. You will not have the same game experience as the youtubers and streamer who play this game religiously. I have 36 hours played as of making the review, but I am nowhere near to unlocking all the perks on a single character. Perks are crucial to the game, and it's a grind to get them. People who have sunk more time into this game are going to be able to deal with certain situations better than you will because of this. And this issue extremely noticeable when playing as the killer and you don't have higher tier perks.

    Going back to the killer no longer being a threat. After the either of the exits are opened survivors are free to leave, but many times they don't, due to them waiting to see if they need to go back to help a teammate, this is fine, however when the killer meets them at the exit it can create awkward moments where the killer cant do anything but try to force them to leave while having no chance at actually being able to kill them. Why not allow the killer to close exits, and force survivors outside of the gate to leave the game, and then make it to where the door can be reopened by the remaining survivors. It gives the survivors the ability to sit at exit and wait safely while allowing the killer the ability to force safe player out of the game, while at the same time placing a bigger threat on players still trapped in the map.

    The final issue that seems to be reoccurring so often to the extent that it's frustrating, are trapdoor standoffs. OHHHH MAN….. it's a joke that this is still an issue. If the last survivor and the killer meet at the trap door the game can become locked for an extended period of time The killer is no longer a threat. Both will stare are each other, if the killer swings and even downs the player, the killer loses. The Survivor wins as long as the killer doesn't interrupt the jumping animation. Neither wants to lose points during the game. If it has come to this the killer as performed well and has already killed three survivors and the last one is going to do everything in his power to win. To avoid this, I've even came to the point where I would down the second to last survivor and walked the entire map three to four times looking for the last one as well as the hatch. Of course the downed player eventually bleeds out and the game ends with a hatch escape and the dead player in end game lobby cursing up a storm saying that the killer had downed him and left, and that the last player should be banned for hiding in a locker the entire time. The developers need to make up the mind with hatches, either make the last survivor uninterruptable while jumping in the hatch, or allow the killer to close the hatch for an extended period of time. The game is not being held hostage by a player…. It's the developers not wanting to make a choice that is wasting your time.

    While Dead by Daylight is a fun game and one of the forefronts in the multiplayer horror genre, it's these issues that keep me from recommending it to others, The second immersion is broken, and the killer is no longer scary, is the same moment this game takes a nose dive in terms of quality.

At the moment gen rushing is a problem and there is going to be a small fix to tool kits but that won't help gen rush. They should just reset all ranks to 20 and have people play for it to balance out. Takes a long time to find a match up to 30 minutes at times depending on where you live. They use to have free events but removed it for a paid season pass. Game is turning to the bring players in and make them spend money before they get tired of it type of game.
    For game play, it's always fun playing survivor now. Once you get use to being chased by the killer you get use to the heart beats for when they get closer. You might get mad if the killer hits you because server lag made you lag backwards. But the game has new bugs with every patch update. But playing with friends is what makes it fun and unfair for the killer. For the killers game play can be stressful depending on everyone's connection. They tend to dodge your swings with ease and you have to out play 4 people to win the game. Graphics are very amazing, and you have to see Moo Moo the cow on a hospital bed. I'll have to get it a low rating because the current decisions they are making are hurting the game.

    And if you play a killer then you won't have much chance against swf because they are constantly communicating with each other so they can completely ruin the killer's gameing!

    But most importantly, new skins are coming, which of course you can buy for money! Instead of releasing new content or fixing that many bugs!

    The progress system has become bad because the added content is simply too much nowadays. You cant keep up, even if you play 5 hours a day. Reason enough why I only still play, if at all, when there are double blood point weekends.
    The game is riddled with bugs. And with every patch new ones are added and some of them ignored completely for years. New perks, mechanics and "revamps" break balance and immersion every time. Only to be nerfed again when the devs realize (much later than the players) that they were a bad idea like this - but often they dont even realize that.
    Matchmaking is still very bad (even with crossplay now). It gets new and casual players and rank one tryhard killers mixed up. And you still have to wait up to 15 minutes for a game.

    The balance is horrible. Every patch it gets worse. I recently saw a bunch of old footage from 2016. It was a completely different game.
    What instantly jumped into my eyes was that it looked far creepier and scarier than nowadays.
    The lighting was much better (darker and moodier), the maps were much darker, the grass was much higher, the view distance was low, very blurry in the distance and very creepy, there were far more pallets and open windows. Hopping windows was actually useful and not a free hit for killers, because it wasnt as slow as it is now.

    The lighting was already bad for a long time, but recently they revamped the maps completely and it turned the whole game into a joke, because a lot of maps now are as bright as day and plain as a salt desert. So that killers can see you even better in the now high view distance. But of course they also made totems much harder to find by not only making ridiculous hiding spots, but also by turning them very dark.

    As a honest survivor player (who doesnt cheese in any way) you got f*cked extremely hard in these last years. If you now want to be good at this game you either have to find a good coordinated group or learn to be a toxic sh*t yourself and just loop the killer (which turns this creepy horror game into a clown circus).
    Some killer perks are so ridiculous, that they completely ruined the game and made people act more and more like selfish bastards and force survivors to play a certain and predictable way for killers (and of course more and more overpowered abilities in revamps and new killers to even negate the only options survivors have). They are so powerful that they have become a meta that 90% of killers use. Theres not much diversity in gameplay anymore because of all that.
    And of course survivor perks most of the time got massively nerfed and new perks for them are 95% completely useless. It went that far that the devs openly tolerated exploits that the killers thought would "fix" "overpowered" survivor perks. Like Decisive Strike for example (just got nerfed again, because the killers kept crying). It was even ok to "dribble" the DS survivor to the next hook, making it impossible to use DS - a wasted perk slot. Yet after a patch they made it impossible to do that. Yet their TOS clearly states that exploiting is a banable offense.

    The devs are a reflection of their own playerbase. They act arrogant, insult their own customers live on air and ban people on their forums if they criticize them for their toxic behavior or dare to treat them the way they treat their customers. They even once had a contest among each other on their stream to "not insult customers", which they failed miserably. That should tell you enough.

    Then they finally implemented dedicated servers. That took them almost a year after the promise (which was said to never happen for years before that). And then what we got was even laggier and buggier than their P2P netcode. And its still extremely bad. Sometimes so bad that I just cant believe what just happened, like the killer hitting me from literally 5 meters away and having 5 meter arms swinging through the window I just hopped through, or hitting me through the dropped pallet or teleporting on my side of the pallet, or hitting me with a range weapon even though I am long gone behind a wall.

    Now they have added a new killer which is just ridiculous to look at. Some flashy K-Pop singer with green hair and pink clothes. And a Korean survivor that looks like the most western looking European you can find... Good job! To be honest, he looks far too much like the Joker, which makes me think that they tried to get a deal with Warner Brothers to get the Joker in it, but they said no and so they decided to put their own "Joker" in it. Which failed horribly, because he is just completely ridiculous.

    Oh yeah, they also "improved" the animations and in-game GUI. Nobody asked for it, but they did it anyway and its horrible and nobody likes it, so they tried to fix it, but only a bit. Its still horrible.

    TL;DR:
    The game idea is exceptional, but the devs are the worst Ive ever seen (Ive been playing games for decades) and ruined it with their utter incompetence.

    These developers are clueless, inexperienced and it shows. To create a game with asymmetrical pvp like this one takes skill and knowledge they seem to lack both.

    This game is even more trash now in 2020, damn 4 years and nothing learned, of pure ignorance and denial of the game's core problems. The game is still an unbalanced mess, while survivors gets 500 billion free-cards out of a bad situation killers gets nothing and realizes that the only way to "win" is to camp survivors(Both sides are cancer trash btw, especially SWF). I'm just astounded by the incompetence here by the development team, truly miserable. But hey more DLC and more battlepasses!

I didn't have a good time, because the game is not fun. Playing this game is a true test of patience. Each patch introduces worse and worse bugs, and killers get virtually zero love from the devs. There haven't been any interesting or useful perks for killers for the last three patches. There have been zero attempts to solve a very prominent (albeit complex) issue regarding survive with friends. The game is no balance. Survivors got a lot of fun perks in the new patch and killers got nothing. Because the devs know the player base is 80% survivor (actual stat btw). It doesn't seem like the dedicate any thought into how to make killer less grating because it's a statistically small portion of their player base even though there wouldn't even be a game without killer players. One of the most toxic communities I've ever seen. Expand

Another 10 hours are more or less great (as long as ur thrown to atleast little balanced games with other newbies). After that, its just horror (in bad meaning) - games become all about terrible meta, bugs, exploits and broken ****s. Combine it with literaly nonexistant matchmaking which throw noob(s) at one side and fully decked "pro(s)" at other side, 9 out of 10 games are just onesided and boring (either all survivors escape without killer even catching one, or killer butchers every1 in few minutes).

    Reason why i give 0/10 are their forums with mods ordered to ban and delete any1 who is pointing out too many flaws and thus scaring potencial newcomers.

    the game was fun at first, but has become horribly obsolete in a hunters eyes...
    being a survivor it was like wow ez pee z...with one perk also...
    literally the game needs real balancing in game and level matchmaking...
    the competitive of the game lacks everything now...
    sorry to admit it but the roles has switched in this game..a horror for the hunter..also lacks content...repetitive stages...fog has increased to immensely foggy...no speed up death when hitting or chainsawing your victims is odd especially since they are just hanging there...they really should just add a smart ai since I feel it really is survivor based now since hunters always kept getting nerfed...and so long Dead by Daylight...forever...

    This game is an unbalanced survival horror game and a pay to win if you can afford DLC to get killers like Freddy, the doctor etc. Killers can camp and tunnel the survivors and you can do nothing about that. The developers don't care about that neither. There are also a lots of bugs. Finally, if you want to play killers with no brain and no skill, go for it otherwise skip this game.

    Recent updates have made the game punishing and extremely frustrating, leaving little room for what quirks compensated for the glaring bugs and imbalances. The Game's developers spent their time working on a repetitive daily quest point system to encourage repetitive gameplay rather than adding new features or mechanics or content to the game. Updates are lazy and poorly thought out and many of the new killers/content are behind a paywall/dlc. It's a pathetic excuse for continuity.

    First you purchase the game then you have to keep purchasing installments to get the latest abilities and killers, which is unacceptable, especially considering how little the base game is improved in the process, if at all. Now it's a hollowed out shell of a good idea, wasted on the most careless individuals. Don't encourage them any further. Behaviour Interactive expanded to new projects before they ever cleaned up their old properties. Waste of time and money.

    - Cheating is tolerated. Reports do nothing and also developers allow for a mode called Survive With Friends in which players can abuse on voice communications and play with their friends against an anonymous Killer. There is also "Kill Your Friends" but no one plays that one because cheating and trolling one of your friends ain´t that funny.

    It´s the only game where mods have to constantly ban people on forums, even in the official forum you need authorization by an Admin in order to create an account where they ask you why do you want to register. At the end game, people would insult and say BRUTAL and unacceptable things - even for Internet - and go unpunished.

    The more toxic the game is, the more money and comments people post, that´s by developers of the game want people to get pissed at how unfair is the game for certain roles and new players.

    Dead by Daylight is a missed opportunity. Despite an intriguing concept, the final result is flawed by a lot of small problems. You could still enjoy it, but in order to do so you should get over a terrible netcode, a grind-based progression system, and all too random rewards.

    Disastrous scoring system encourages some players to cooperate with the killer instead of running from him and reduces promising gameplay to nonsense (e.g. when the killer picks you up, throws you into a trap, resets it, picks you up, throws you into a trap, resets it, picks you up, throws you into a trap, resets it, picks you up...).
