Dec 30, 2021Free drop on the Epic Store. Wow you know those old horror movies are cheaply made schlock right? This game encaspluates all that perfectly. It looks cheap and it's pure schlock for sure. They nailed the formula for sure. Right off to play an actual good game, laters.

Oct 16, 2018I once really enjoyed this game, however the most recent updates to the game have done nothing but ruined it. The atmosphere is no longer creepy, everything feels unrewarding, the leveling and ranking system is broken, and the cosmetics system is a huge, disappointing money-grab.

Jan 3, 2022Fun to play with friends but there are so few mechanics that it gets boring real quick. I did not enjoy the game much.

Feb 1, 2023Of 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.
The players themselves are killing this game with their toxic behavior. -
Feb 12, 2023Eh the gameplay is whatever but that really pisses me off is that game devs LOVE to give Feng and other **** ass characters skin. ALL. THE. TIME. I want my new Jane skin in shorts already!

Nov 24, 2016hundreds of thousands people bought this game and dlc's but they won't afford a server, the matchmaking is screwed it disconnects often and if the player who hosts the game has a bad ping....its unplayable and you just lose....

Dec 19, 2021Something instantly didnt feel right when playing this game: i think its the movement and the action speed. I still gave it a chance but i felt so overwhelmed with all the unlocks / perks the slugish unlock pace etc. Maybe there is a good game hidden beneath but its not for me.

Jun 26, 2016Cheating, cheating and more cheating. Oh, and exploiting and stupid mechanics. You're survivor but when you run you leave a bright fire trail lel. Don't waste your time and nerves on this POS.

Jun 28, 2016Game would probably be amazing if they had bothered to do any optimization at all. The graphics settings are preset, so literally the only thing you can do to optimize it yourself is choose 'Low, Med, High, Ultra', but even on the lowest settings a decent rig will struggle. More than a few people on Reddit and Steam have stated that the framerates are subpar with a unanimous

May 31, 2021A 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. -
Jul 8, 2016Its an ok game. But the lack of play with friends and the peer to peer connection is the worst idea ever for a game like this. Should have known i would be disapointed when I heard starbreeze was their publisher.

Aug 22, 2016its a good game but its very glitchy , hard to run when getting away from a killer , too many hackers and too many bugs , at this point im done with the game
-
Dec 28, 2016The idea is very good but the game is very very buggy and unbalanced. Killers has too much bonus and survivor never wins. Don't waste your money now. Wait at least 1 year from now.

Jun 22, 2019Very unbalanced game (until June 2017 survivors were OP and then killers became OP) and full of bugs. Devs prioritize monetization and cosmetics only and fixes are superficial and often detrimental to the game. Avoid at all costs.

Dec 21, 2020The game is just filled to the brim with killers who either camp or tunnel. Both behaviours are just bad and take the whole fun out of the game. As long, as such behaviour does not get punished, the game is not worth to be played.
-
Sep 19, 2020Dont play this game for your brain health. This is not funny or horror. Game mechanics is good enough for a **** game.

Aug 22, 2023Unbalanced game with really overpriced dlcs, overpriced skins and overpriced price tag.
Game's also p2w, has battle pass, and overall very much things which games f2p have even though this game isn't one of 'em.
Playing with friends... MIGHT be fun, but if you really want to play with em, just go play move or die or any other party games. -

Horrible Gameplay
Horrible Maps
Horrible Balancing
Game is broken to **** just fix stuff noone cares about and stuff that is pointless while ignoring important things ,they just spam DLCs and don't care about the game at this point... -

Apr 26, 2018Игра скатила. За маньяка нельзя играть из-за бесконечных нерфов и апо выживших. За выживших не интересно играть из-за немощности убийцы
-
Jun 8, 2020Devs don't understand how to balance and don't understand how to address bugs. Game is hardly playable at 4k. For years now the company refused to fix a DPI scaling issue. It makes it very difficult to target items/things in game.

Jun 17, 2016Very boring and is somewhat fun it's no element of surprise graphics are bad and it feels like a rushed version of something that could've been way more fun and I believe it tried to rush out from the Friday the 13th that's why the game has some bugs and just doesn't feel the best especially the graphics.

Oct 8, 2016This is a horrible grinding game where the developers expect you to play 500+ hours to unlock all the NECESSARY perks to finally enjoy playing without being at an unfair disadvantage against nolifers.

May 7, 20226 years after its release and it still feels like it's in early access. At the moment of this writing the developer has decided to tinker with matchmaking and has made an already toxic game even worse. So much potential wasted.

Sep 19, 2017I just signed up to Metacritic thanks to this game.
Its so buggy, so unbalanced that is complete ****
Cant recommended at all, its just a waste of money.
The premise its awesome as so the ambience. But the matchmaking, the unbalance of the game and the bugs its just too much. -
Nov 2, 2017This 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.

Sep 10, 2019Salty devs target large and active members of their game just because they are salty peepeegahs.

Nov 3, 2019Of course I would like to silently put the unit and leave, but I will write a few words. Developers squeeze the last money out of the game, new skins, battle pass, new DLC. There are bugs that do not fix for 3 years ... I have everything.

Jul 4, 2017Dead 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.

CD-ActionSep 17, 2016Disastrous 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...).
