    Dead by Daylight what can i say the game has potential but there needs to be some ironing out on some stuff before it can be considered anything higher than a 6.

    Update after 100+ hours in this game waiting for numerous patches to come out to see how the devs handled the bug glitches matchmaking and balancing i would like to say that this game still feels like a beta they brought out

    beta they brought out the new dlc for free and there are still game breaking bugs its unfortunate to say but i think im going to put this game down and walk away the potential is still there but the fixes don't seem to be the priority

    The Pros
    -The Atmosphere is creepy
    -The Game play is fun
    -Multiple killers with their own special ability
    -The blood web level up system is something new

    The Cons
    -Terrible Matchmaking
    -Bad Optimization
    -More than a few bugs
    -Seem to be more interested in adding new features rather than fixing current bugs/glitches
    -You cant rebind the keys which makes some things awkward
    -No dedicated servers (can get matched with a killer from halfway across the world

    The idea is good, but the game is very limited. I only playied in the beta, but the atmosphere is insane, the fear is crazy. But they need to add new contents and good ways to play with friends, and in this way not to screw up the game with pay to win things.

    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 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...).

    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!)

    I believe the game overall is ok for killing some time, but i also think the game needs more features. Besides escaping from the serial killer maybe there could be another mechanic in the game that players can work together to achieve a different kind of victory by killing the serial killer in different ways on different levels.

Besides escaping from the serial killer maybe there could be another mechanic in the game that players can work together to achieve a different kind of victory by killing the serial killer in different ways on different levels. This mechanic could be like the generators, but more hidden and can help to unlock a machine or weapon to kill the serial killer. when trying to power up these devices they will generate noise at random to alert the serial killer. Lastly there needs to be more torture devices in levels and different kinds so that the kill has more ways to dispatch his victims. Expand

    First hour is simply terrible cuz of pointless tutorial which wont tell you most basic and very cruical mechanic and u have to find them out by yourself. 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.

    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 when the game gets a little more polish I would say it would be higher than the score I'm giving it, but for now it's a 7/10. Still worth it for the price.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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...).
