    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!

    This is the most adictive multiplayer game i've ever played. I can't just have a match pr two, every time i start playing i find myself spending 3-4 hours, switching between killer and survivor. Five years after it's release, the game it still fresh and fun to play.

    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.

    First game in a long time that has given me jump-scares and keeps me coming

    First game in a long time that has given me jump-scares and keeps me coming back for more.

    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.

    Dead by daylight will make your heart beat and you will feel the tension when sneaking around or getting chased by a raving psycopath! A must have for everyone who like horror!

    It's amazing game! I like game idea, graphics look cool, movements etc. Community isn't that toxic, but not perfect eather. I recommend that game, it's the best game for fun with friends!

    Great game, people who are writing the reviews saying it's too hard for survivors to win probably haven't played enough to understand how to win as a survivor. Fun and original game.

    Yes, this game is great but I recently got a MAC and I bought Dead By Daylight when I had my windows. But, I can't download it on my MAC because its for windows only. I would love if it could be for MAC as well please? If not that is fine.

    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. And as always, #SupportFreddyDBD Expand

    A very fun game worth playing. i really enjoy dead by daylight because when you play it with friends you get to experience an amazing time with them because it's all so fun. Even if you play it on your own you'll have a lot of fun as well. Once you start to understand how the game really works, you'll get addicted to it.

    Really good PC games with unusual idea and concept. But I think, developers need to make testing of characters and killers for free (in custom game)

    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)

    Its very fun game one of my favrioute games i have around 1900 hours on the game its very fun better with freinds but stilll good by yourself. Its worth getting dlc for the game its worth it for its full price (£24.99 console £14.99 PC and free mobile)

    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...).
