    Man bleibt ab dem letzten Update nach der Runde endlich zusammen in einer Lobby!
    Die Statistiken am Ende werden nicht mehr von vorne gezeigt, wenn sie schon fast durchgelaufen sind, nur weil der Host die Lobby verlässt, genial!

    Not really a horror game. However, the gameplay elements are interesting enough to keep me playing the game. The game is not balanced because of the variety of perks and powers that each side can have which may make for some seemingly unfair gameplay.

    Dead by Daylight tem alguns problemas em destaque que fizeram eu ao pouco desistir do jogo onde citarei eles um a um

    Balanceamento:
    Dead by Daylight sempre foi um jogo assimétrico mas que conseguia se manter em um nível justo, porem com o passar do tempo esses balanceamentos que tinham como intenção deixar o jogo mais equilibrado, apenas ferravam ainda mais o jogo, onde muitas vezes essas mudanças eram feitas por choro dos jogadores. Onde as condições estão 100% a favor do killer ou do sobreviventes, não existindo mais um meio termo.

    Comunidade:
    O jogo em um critério artístico, o jogo tem centenas de pessoas produzindo fanarts incríveis sobre o jogo, mas tirando os artistas dificilmente você vai encontrar alguém amigável neste jogo. Com uma comunidade que se torna cada vez mais competitiva e principalmente tóxica! Onde se você joga de killer e não consegue eliminar os 4 sobrevivente você tem sua DM invadida por pessoas te chamando de "noob" e "lixo" e quando você ganha você é chamado de trapaceiro. E isso é algo que desanima os main killer , não estou dizendo que não existe killers tóxicos, mas com certeza a maior parte da comunidade tóxica do jogo se encontra nos main survival.

    Falta de conteúdo:
    Dead by Daylight foi lançado em 2016 e desde então ele segue o mesmo estilo de jogo, onde até mesmo seus eventos mais atuais nada mais eram do que você já faz no jogo só que com um visual diferente e que a cada ano o jogo se torna mais mercenário. Eu lembro que nos primeiros eventos de ano novo chinês você podia juntar uma moeda específica durante as partidas e caso você elimina-se todos os sobreviventes ou fugi-se como sobrevivente, você mantinha esse ponto que futuramente podia ser usado para trocar por um cosmético do evento de sua escolha ,sem gastar um centavo se quer!    … Expand

Во-первых, предметы за выжившего, которые пропадают после катки, какой уникум до этого додумался и как их получить снова, играть и качать уровни открывая заново? Бред. Во-вторых, локации, да они атмосферные и колоритные, но некоторые это тупо коридоры, в игре про побеги от маньяка, класс. В-третьих, разнообразие игры за выживших, которого я так понял нет. Помимо починки генераторов, спасание сокомандников c крюков, лечении себя и их на реакцию все и заканчивается. Последнее, это подбор матча который долгий, около 2-3 минут, для игры с онлайном 80 тысяч+. Насчет комьюнити ничего не буду говорить, так как оно наверно везде токсично.

It's bad. Really REALLY bad. It rivals the likes of DOTA 2 and LoL. People will harass and send you death threats regardless what you do in this game, on top of the racism and bigotry. On top of the amounts of expensive DLC and updates that always introduce game breaking bugs (that take weeks to fix) I cannot say I recommend anything unless you got thick enough skin (a.k.a: survive MW2 lobbies) to deal with the massive degeneracy that the developers have hosted and flat out refused to deal with.

    If you think Modern Warfare 2 was child's play when it comes to toxicity, then MAYBE you'll like this. It. Is. BAD. The only thing saving it from a flat-out bad review is the constant giving away of game currency and that its crossplay, so when it becomes free in some platform (because it somehow always is), then you can just play with friends. The toxic community can be ignored if you just dont read the chat. But even then, looking at it at an objective point of view, this can make it hard to enjoy for normal people, and this rating reflects it.

    One last thing to touch out on is the developers are hit and miss. Sometimes they can too be condescending pricks, or just be flat out incapable in putting out an update (more often times than not in this case). Overall: Game is fun as long as you have friends to play with you. Community is trash, developers are sometimes trash, and updates can break stuff that takes the devs a few weeks to fix or not at all, depends on how the developers are feeling that day. Look through all of that, and you have a good game on your hands. Thank God I got this free on Epic.    … Expand

The best is when you're survivor and play against a noob killer because the game is actually fun, tense and fair. When you get to know the meta it starts to become frustrating. Here's what happens then:

    Survivors complain killers are OP because they have insta-down power, can teleport/charge across the map, can camp, can know exactly where you are, have ruin/undying/tinkerer/pop (some of the bests perks of the game).

    Killer complains survivors are OP because they loop perfectly, makes you loop the same big building like 3 times in a row before you can even hit them once, makes you eat pallet in the face every 10 steps, and finally hook a survivor after 3-4 gens are done already. All 4 of the survivors have decisive strike which allow them to get off the killer's grasp, or borrowed time which allows them to be hit without being injured X seconds after being saved from a hook, so essentially just stalling for even more times just so you have to chase those survivors even more, wasting you so much time in one single chase while all 5 gens pops.

    I'm amazingly noob at this game, but I learned the meta by watching A LOT of killer/survivor streamers. I think the huge problem of this games are the perks. There is just too much now. A perk is essentially a passive, a power, you can equip. The thing is, this game allows the perk of one survivor/killer to be learned by other survivor/killers. Imagine how dumb it would be if in a moba, every single hero/champion/whatever could learn and use every single skill in the game? What would happen?

    Of course, EVERYBODY would uses the same 4-8 most powerful skill regardless of character (best stun, damage, healing, CC skills and who cares about the rest. It's really what's happening with DBD. Survivor and killer running almost always the same powerful perks because 3/4 of all the perks are completely useless or obsolete. It's really hilarious. A new killer/survivor appears with their own new perks, and then the same old perks are used on them anyway. It's really dumb. I also think it causes hell for behaviour to balance the game.

    The game has become unfun and repetitive. Get looped the same way every game, loop the killer the same way every game, use the same perks every game, cleanse the ruin/undying totem every game. I think behaviour needs to add new STUFF to do in the map beside throwing pallet on the killer and balance the game around it. It's never gonna happen. The game is 4 years old and too much people playing it still. Too much of a risk. Anyway, game's a real bore for me. I even got bored to hell watching the streamers.    … Expand

A lot of different perks, add-ons to make your character fit your gameplay (the game goes obviously for survivors but I didn't feel it quite as well). I feel like the game is balanced pretty well, a killer is not some super strong entity that can just go around mindlessly killing survivors, after each hit killer slows down giving a chance to escape, abilities have their drawbacks, some are hard to hit, some will leave killer in fatigue state, etc. Playing as a survivor tho feels like a hold button-down simulator. All activities (fixing generators, opening gates, healing) are just contests of holding down a button, for a very long time. There are skill checks to it, but you just have to press space at right time. But many things are wrong with this game. For starters, progression is very, very slow. To unlock a single character you would have to play for about 50 hours it feels like. In addition to that, there are playable characters that you can't unlock by in-game earned currency. You have to buy them, for real money. In a game that you already paid for. Skins are fine, because if you don't like them just don't buy them, but not to be able to play all characters? There is also a premium battle pass, which I found equally as dumb. The game encourages you to buy something from the store on almost every step. Another big issue is bugs/glitches. Once playing as a killer I just got disconnected for no reason, when my internet was working fine. The other time game glitched and I couldn't use the killer's ability or pick up survivors to hang them. This is a game-breaking bug. And just before I wrote this review I couldn't join the game, counted as me going AFK. This shouldn't be happening in a game that's 5 years old.… Expand

    Wurde am 16.06.2016 released.
    Das Spiel gibt es für die PS4,Xbox One, Nintendo Switch und ist aktuell im Gamepass enthalten.
    Meine Spielzeit belief sich auf ca. 60h
    179 Errungenschaften sind zu bekommen.

    Handlung:
    In Dead by Daylight spielt man entweder die Überlebenden oder den Jäger. Als Überlebender hat man die Aufgabe Generatoren zu reparieren um dem Jäger und seinen Fallen zu Entkommen.
    Spielt man den Jäger(viele bekannte Horrorcharaktere aus diversen Horrorfilme und Spiele) hat man die Aufgabe die Überlebenden zu finden und zu töten. Diverse Perks ändern das Spiel Runde für Runde.

    Gameplay(Maus und Tastatur):
    Das Gameplay läuft ohne Probleme und erklärt sich von selbst. Die Aufgaben sind immer die gleichen, jedoch gleichen die Vielfältigen Maps das wieder aus. Während man die Generatoren repariert bzw. Seine Mitspieler versucht zu heilen, muss man Skillchecks absolvieren. Vor jeder Runde kann man seine Perks an einem Skillbaum verbessern und diverse Items erhalten, die man sich mit in die Runde holen kann. Zum Beispiel ein Werkzeug- oder Erste-Hilfe-Kasten. Bugs sind mir noch keine aufgefallen, sodass man keine Probleme während des Spielens hat.

    Sound:
    Der Sound passt zum Spiel und vermittelt eine düstere und Horrorartige Stimmung. Die Geräusche der Generatoren, Items und Umgebungen passen sich sehr gut an.

    Grafik:
    Die Grafik passt zu einem Spiel von 2016. Die Umgebung, Animationen und Charaktere passen zusammen und stechen nicht einzeln heraus.

    Fazit:
    Ein schönes Multiplayer Horrorspiel für zwischendurch. Viele vielfältige Perks, Items und Charaktere machen jede Runde einzigartig. Soundtracks und die Düstere Grafik machen das Spiel noch besser. Updates und neue Charaktere tauchen regelmäßig auf. Wer genug Zeit mitbringt kann gerne einen 100% Run bestreiten.    … Expand

    Yeah... most people on here are quite unforgiving with their reviews.
    The game has its issues. Balance, bugs, hacks (albeit quite uncommon), all the rough stuff.
    However, it's genuinely a fun game. The issue with it is that it's difficult to pick up because of the way people play, but for the most part you'll have to give it a shot to enjoy it. It's a lot more forgiving in the low ranks.    Yeah... most people on here are quite unforgiving with their reviews.

It's a lot more forgiving in the low ranks. You can either play as a slasher, ahem, a killer, or a survivor. The killer's goal is to eliminate all four survivors before they complete all the generators and escape, by hooking the survivors. The survivor's goal, is, well, I already stated it, lol.
    Games are always different, making it unpredictable due to the large variety of killers we have this year. We have a bunch of licenses, from Halloween to Silent Hill, and this year, we got Resident Evil in the game.

Leveling up your blood web and experimenting with perks to make a good or fun build is always interesting. Every characters perks are different and never feel like a copy paste but it's slightly altered (At least in my experience) Playing killer or survivor is fun for me. However both of them are difficulty when you're starting out. And even if you're experienced the game may feel difficulty at times. And lastly for me the game rarely feels scary because of how much everyone messes around. So if you're looking for a horrifying game it may not be exactly what you imagined.… Expand

    It's a how should I say ... a love-hate relationship.
    You can't put it into words how badly the game is balanced.
    The design of most maps is cruel. Infinite loops for the survivor, a few lots of pallets and and and ... You'd think I was a killer, but no, I'm not. I know the game inside and out from both sides. Speak to survivors and killers. If you don't act too stupid as a survivor,    It's a how should I say ... a love-hate relationship.

    You'd think I was a killer, but no, I'm not. I know the game inside and out from both sides. Speak to survivors and killers.
    If you don't act too stupid as a survivor, the killer has 0% chance against 4 good survivors. As soon as you become a killer, the survivors become very exhausting and very provocative. Provoke the killer all game long but don't get along if they lose and spit on you with poison and bile in the endgame chat.
    I no longer remember how many offensive comments I had to delete from my profile.
    In other games you get banned for such nasty behavior, but the devs look away every time, the main thing is that the DLCs and the micro transactions sell well!

    Pros:
    - good addiction factor
    - acceptable co-op game
    - good soundscape
    - Varied killers (i.e., against every killer, you have to do it differently)
    - Killer designs are awesome! (Survivors too, of course)
    - The game is always filled with fresh content (i.e. new killers, maps, survivors etc ...)
    that's it from the good side ...

    Contrasts:
    - Terrible map design
    - From a certain rank, the game is very frustrating for the killer (with me from rank 5)
    - Uninteresting gameplay for survivors (read, the survivors have only one goal and that would be to repair generators)
    - Lap lengths (I had laps that only ran 5 minutes because the repair speed from the generators is just too high.
    - The community (rarely seen such a toxic community)!
    - Matchmaking (after Rankreset you don't dare to play as a killer for 2 weeks, because then smurfs will run around everywhere.)
    - bugs, graphic errors, crashes etc ... etc ... etc ...
    - Perks too strong for survivors! (Of course there are also very strong perks for the killer but one shouldn't forget that it is 1v4!
    - badly balanced (once the survivors have a disadvantage and once the killers sometimes have a disadvantage, but in the end the killer has the most disadvantages, even though he is the power role)!

    DBD is not a bad game, but it is also not a good game. It is more in the middle area. There is no lack of creativity, but competent developers.
    Whoever wants to play the game should do it. You will have fun but for how long?
    Although I gave a thumbs down, I will still recommend the game, the DBD is not a bad game. If the Devs listened to a few experienced players who were playing the game from both sides, DBD would change for the better. But until then, DBD will only be a mediocre product on the market for in between!

    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.

    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.

    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...).
