    Literally can't stop playing this game, no matter if I play solo or with my friends. There's so many things you can do in this game.

Это, пожалуй, единственная игра, в которой вы сможете сразится с культовыми хоррор-героями, получившими заслуженную репутацию в фильмах и играх. 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.

    I have never played such a good horror game before. Resident Evil was fine and Dead Space too, but I see a potential on this game. Keep up the good work, Awesome game and Awesome Idea. 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!

    DbD creates a a very tense atmosphere in particular as a survivor where you walk around and try to avoid drawing attention to yourself. The difference in perspective (Survivor in 3rd person, killer in 1st person) feels strange to start with but quickly feels very natural and well-balances the different roles.

    An extra plu for the the very affordable price tag (USD 15), makes buying a 5-pack with friends a quite cheap and very enjoyable experience.    … Expand

    Amazing game that I highly recommend. It is a bit buggy but the only bad reviews complain about the graphics and not the actual freaking game... anyways it's pretty scary and balance for both survivors and killers. No doubt one of my top PC favourite games!

    It's a fun game, but the community can be toxic as times. Developers try to fix the game, which sometimes works out and i respect them for it. I'd recommend this game to play with friends, alone not as much. Around 1k hours.

    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.

It's easy to play in low ranks but as you rank up it's getting more competitive. Killer or survivor you can make great work both if you know how to play or choosing right perks. 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. I give 7/10 or 8/10 for Dead by Daylight.… Expand

    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.

    Easy 9 out of 10, but one of the best and most fun games I've ever played in my life and I grew up as a gamer in the 1980s, playing thousands of games in my life! ..Well worth the money, don't miss this one people!

    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...).
