Цель выживших - починить пять генераторов и открыть ворота для побега. Цель маньяка - убийство всех выживших. Для всех сторон предлагаются свои средства победы. Будь то абилка убийцы, способности и навыки выживших и тд; Из-за большого количества данных средств игра становится масштабной и разнообразной. Чтобы победить маньяка, вам придется организовать слаженную работу с командой, ведь они (члены команды) - самое большое игровое преимущество для выживших. и мой вам совет, не забывайте помогать своим товарищам (оказывать мед.помощь, снимать с крюка, латать и тд) , ведь если помогать своим, то в самую трудную минуту у вас будет опора. Если обобщить все вышесказанное: не смотря на малое количество механик, игра берет своей вариативность, глубиной геймплея и разнообразием способностей, оказывающих прямое влияние на геймплей.… Expand

    Awesome premise and tight gameplay, but definitely needs updated content from some free DLC's to make a decent following that could expand the franchise profitably - it doesn't cut it for a full release, even one at budget price.

There always gonna be bad feedback, but that doesn't mean anything. Everything takes time to be improved. I hope all you guys like it! Good Luck Getting Away From The Killer!

    Fresh game, nice experience, never gets boring, worth's buying it. The only problem i see is the bad optimization, bugs and no friend queuing. It's a perfect multiplayer survival horror, with 3 different killers (1 incoming) and 3 different maps (1 incoming) that change the whole gameplay. Nice "blood web" A.K.A. Skill tree. Basically, good ideas good implemented.

But i think if you are full team of friends as survivors and all experienced, playing as a killer is really hard. All of these good things i think. Only negative thing about game is bloodpoint system, point for level up and open your perks. Every survivor or killer has unique perks and some of these perks are really important so if you don't like a survivor character and don't want to play it still you have to rank up it with bloodpoints so you can use it's perk for an another character you play. Making bloodpoint is hard in this game and harder for survivors then a killer. So this causes grinding in game and people don't like grind. They should update bloodpoint system as soon as possible.

    This game isn't going to be for everyone. Odds are you will be a helpless survivor. Yes, you will be helpless. The killer cannot die. Once again, the killer cannot die. When you first start playing, you will die more than you will survivor. Survivors are suppose to be helpless against a Killer. As a survivor you don't play to win games, you play to survive them. As the Killer you have one objective. That objective is to kill. That's the game. if you don't like the concept, than Dead by Daylight is not for you. Once you become good enough and an high enough level with good perks, as a survivor you eventually will learn how to out smart the killer. Then your odds of surviving will continue to increase. I like to compare this game to a slasher flick. One killer vs Four survivors. Can you out smart the killer and escape?

    Now the game is not perfect. There are some bugs. Ex: Messy movement when the killer attempts to pick up a survivor. (nothing game breaking). All Killers are not the same. Some are stronger than others. (Balancing). Games have no timers. Meaning, games can last forever. I have lasted in a match for 42 minutes. Games typically last 12-15 minutes :). Lastly, if you choose to play as the killer, you will be hosting the game. To fill up your game it can take upwards of 10-15 minutes. The reason for this is because everyone wants to be the killer. Plus side, if you decide to be the survivor you will never have an issue finding a game.

    The game is truly a good time. For $20 I recommend picking it up.    … Expand

The game pits four online players as survivors on a random dark misty map trying desperately to escape an ever powerful killer player who's only mission is to kill them before they can escape. To escape, the survivors need to repair five of seven randomly placed generators to open two big exit gates all the while making decisions about saving their teammates who get in trouble with the killer or using that time to repair a generator.

    It's mad fun, the graphics are gorgeous and smooth, and no two games will ever be exactly the same. You just never know what might happen in any given game and some of the games have extremely intense and exciting endings where living and dying all comes down to one vital decision and or move.

    New age "Hide and Seek"

    Dead By Daylight offers a scary theme is really creepy and suspenseful even with a friendly killer (killer who roleplays the match), in fact 2 of the games I had with a friendly killer were better than the random queues. Making it challenging however playing out a story, where only 2 of us survived after 53 compelling minutes of running, hiding, planning our next move and repairing the 2 remaining generators in order to achieve our freedom. The game itself is amazing though the development team could do a little more to enhance the experience for everyone. I really love the development team for sticking true to its roots and not implementing a loot crate system opting for a more traditional in-game currency and item buy menu, this allows for a completely fair and equal playing field when in game. The team even shows its love for other games and classic movies by adding cosmetic changes for characters if you own certain games or buy the DLC (Not Mandatory). Even the addition of Freddy Krueger was a nice nod to the original classic "A Nightmare on Elm Street" as well as the Leatherface skin available as a DLC. Dead By Daylight has a lot of unique and original killers as well which are very appealing and fun to play as, I personally would love to see movies or even shorts based on these characters maybe someday in the future. Sadly this game is far from perfect and though I enjoy this game so much it does lack variety... There are only 9 different areas known as Realms in the game which offer 22 map layouts across the Realms which tend to be slightly repetitive if you pay close attention. Also some killers do seem to have an advantage with their abilities and varying movement speed. Also with no voice chat it does make it difficult to coordinate with teamates though I am glad I don't have members of the toxic community screaming in my ear.

    Additions I would love to see implemented to the game is lobbies where you can join friends where you can set up custom game settings and create your ideal scary movie senerio, as well as have a friend or yourself lobby as the killer. Roleplaying has a huge community and I feel the game could benefit so much more if they did add such a feature.

    I recommend this game to anyone who meets the System Requirements, the development team really did make a gem and should keep up the outstanding work.

    Also another thing that people complain about is The balancing issue. Yes, there are some content in the game that make it unbalanced, but from my perspektivet It only makes the game more challenging.

    Dead by daylight is a really fun game to play and it never gets old. I've been playing the game almost right when it came out and I've been glued to it because of how fun and fresh it feels every time i come back to it because of a new chapter that came out. I've put in around 650 hours into the game which is nothing compared to some other big fans of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After coming from PS4 (around 250-300 hours), I eventually switched to pc to get better frames and make the game easier with keyboard and mouse. The game itself isn't all rainbows and sunshine, no, because of balancing issues and bad hit boxes, you usually sit there and rage your brains off. But the game is so goddamn addictive. In the game, you can play both killer and survivor, survivors has to do 5 generators, open exit gate and escape whilst avoiding killer. However, with the current fan base, many people will "run" the killer around, "looping" them and "teabagging" them, until they eventually rage quit or give up the chase. Killers has to prevent this, by catching up to survivors, making sure generators stay deactivated, and don't let the survivors escape. But right now, survivor seems to be the way to go if you want to have fun. The game has some pretty good lore, like really good, but isn't really told in game. The wiki has it all written down (recommend it), but the events of the game are told through Benedict Baker, who willingly went to the MacMillan Estate, got into the Entitys realm , and documents everything and everyone. When you die, you come back (hence the "Death is not an escape" slogan) and when a survivor gives up, they are sent into another realm called something I can't recall, we're they're left to float in "space". Controls feels natural, nothing new, nothing complicated, nothing special, it all feels like second nature to anyone who's been gaming for a while. The optimization is better than that of PAYDAY 2, two very connected games (sharing game exclusives, like buying "Deluxe" edition gives you 2 PAYDAY 2 masks). I currently have a Radeon R7 360 and a Athlon X4 860K, and 16 GB Ram, and I can run the game 30 fps no prob on Normal, and almost 50 on low. And finally, the horror aspect of the game. First 5-10 games for survivors will actually be pretty scary, but eventually, the horror aspect isn't there anymore, because your used to it all. So if your looking for a spooky game, that can actually scare you, skip, but if your looking for a game with a strong fan base with pretty frequent updates, go for it, it's only 20€ on steam currenty.

    This is a fantastic game for people who want a thrilling experience that keeps you on your toes. As a horror movie fan, I am so impressed with the killers they were able to pull into this game and how they implemented their abilities into actions and perks. As with all games, there are issues, but typically the dev team is quick to fix smaller issues and are constantly trying to balanceThis is a fantastic game for people who want a thrilling experience that keeps you on your toes. As a horror movie fan, I am so impressed with the killers they were able to pull into this game and how they implemented their abilities into actions and perks. As with all games, there are issues, but typically the dev team is quick to fix smaller issues and are constantly trying to balance the game. The way the game is set up, you will definitely become very frustrated. With this, you can either get upset and stop playing, or continue playing and get better and better with each match. The game is a hard one to balance, but figuring what perks work for you and pairing them with different items helps make the game more fun. The idea of the game is very original and I can't believe I am only just coming across it in 2020!

    To recap: The game is very fun, but there will be times when it is unfair and you get frustrated. It's a survival horror game, not fairy princess funland. I look forward to the future of this game and new characters they will bring!    … Expand

    6.6/10 of user reviews is not fair. The game is not perfect, but it is far from being an almost 6/10. I am giving a 9/10 'cause i have a lot of fun playing, even facing bugs or glitches (most of them very funny). The size of possibilites inside the game, both for survivors and killer, is huge, with many strategies to use, many perks and many mindgames for each map.

    1000+ hours somehow i got, its a fun game 4 survivors evading / hiding while killer hunts them down, they recently added a battlepass to give u more objectives and extra cosmetics. best i can recommend is watch a gameplay video and decide for yourself

    Fun and unique gameplay. Can get your adrenaline pumping at times. Only reason it isn't a 10 is because of balance issues between survivors and killers.

    I love dbd. It’s boring in the beginning but once you get good it will be really fun. The problems are keys being completely broken and some bugs but all games have bugs so other than that I love it.

    DbD is a amazing game. you can choose game, for example you can play as survivor(your mission is repair all 5 generators and save your teamate and open exit gate and....ESCAPE), or you can play as killer(your mission is hitting and down all 4 survivor and sacrifice it in a hook)

    Dead by daylight is a great multiplayer horror game. I've played it for a few months and I have to say that I really like it. The concept of playing 1v4 is very original, but it went out good. The only problem is the player selection system. After one update, I started playing as a 17th rank killer against survivors around 1st-6th rank. And I hated it.

    The game is fun and it makes your heart definitely beat. There are some aspects that I don't like about the game, that's why it's a 8/10.

    - The character leveling system is weird IMO. - Every game is ranked. - You can create a character with 4 different perks from different characters. And to do that, you have to grind a bit if you want the best 4 meta build. it's strange to me,    The game is fun and it makes your heart definitely beat.

    This game is constantly improving and being balanced. That being said, it still suffers from a lot of toxic players and quite a few bugs. With more time, more killers, more survivors, more mechanics and more patches this game could be perfect.

    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...).
