    its a solid game. the game used to be riddled with infinites that completely ruined the game.

    However as of the latest patch the game is still heavily survivors favored. Survivors can abuse and ignore killer's perk Hex Ruined which slow down gens. all they have to do is spam M1 and completely made the perk useless. There are also loops in places where u can loop the killer for around    its a solid game. the game used to be riddled with infinites that completely ruined the game.

    There are also loops in places where u can loop the killer for around 3-5 minutes before they get full bloodlust to get you, which in those times 3-4 gens is already done. and if they had decisive the game is gg.

    they completely made trapper useless by not giving traps under hook, Hag is the worst killer in game. Nurse remains the best simply because she is the only killer that can deal with infinite loops. Unbalanced addons, some killers gets completely useless addons like the hag.

    Survivors flashlight are also insanely strong, combined with 4 SWF. BNP changes is nice but u dont need it when u have gen tapping vs Ruined. and double pellets in the same places are just plain bad. there should only be 1 pellet, which is way enough to buy time to waste the killers time. survivors are not scared in this game. u are encouraged to taunt/ bold actions which grants u more points

    the devs will never understand why the game is like this until they reach Rank 1 survivor and killer.

    There is a wealth of problems that Behaviour Interactive does not even bother to hide in Dead by Daylight, but the pure thrills of its gameplay can mostly compensate for all the troubles.

The game isn't bad, at all, it's actually really addicting and fun. So why not something like an 8-9? Well, there are a few reasons, the first one I wish to speak about is the community. A lot of the Survivor community is very toxic. There are toxic killers out there too, don't get me wrong, but the majority of toxic players are survivor mains, or at least act the most toxic when playing as survivor. To running the most toxic perks (DS, Dead Hard, Object of Obsession), to tea-bagging and flashlight click spam, or even straight-up disconnecting, they'll do their best to get under your skin and ruin the game for you. Why do they do this? Well, it's simple, the developers don't read the reports on them, and they don't give players an abandonment penalty for leaving a match, even though the matches are a part of a "ranked" system. Now granted, as of late I've had a lot of pleasant experiences with players, but a lot of toxic players are still out there, and until more aggressive action is taken about them, I must maintain my stance that the DbD Community is overall very toxic.

    Next let's speak about the developers, they could be a lot better at their job. This is the nice way of putting it. The developers actively DON'T focus on what the community needs most, goes out of their way to ignore suggestions and dance around questions and concerns. This is especially apparent from their recent Developer Stream on Twitch (6/18/2020). There were a lot of legitimate concerns about Pyramid Head's perks, and they completely danced around them and said "Oh we buffed them during the Test Server so we shouldn't need to buff them again" even though they are STILL terrible. They also released an atrocious map and have said nothing about fixing or making adjustments to it. The developers from what I've seen ever since the beginning of this game, only really care about selling their DLC and cosmetics, and not about the future and health of their game and community.

    So why the 6? After all of that, surely this game isn't worth your money. Well, it is and it isn't. I do not recommend DbD at full price, or any of its DLC at full price. Get it on sale on Steam, or play it with the Xbox Game Pass, or buy it from a key seller website. DbD has a lot of flaws, bugs, and those things I mentioned above, but the game is FUN. It's fun and addicting, and unfortunately, there aren't a lot of games like it on the market. Playing as a killer and vsing your friends, or just playing by yourself is a lot of fun, and surviving with friends is just as fun if not more. The game is solid for what it is, and it's really addicting and easy to spend a lot of time with it. It has it's problems, sure, but getting it on sale makes you feel a whole lot better about playing it. My only hope is the developers get their **** together and actually fix the issues plaguing their community.    … Expand

    Dead by Daylight on its own is a pretty fun game. I prefer playing as a killer, and there is a lot to it.

I prefer playing as a killer, and there is a lot to it. 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

    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...).
