    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.    … Expand

    Game would probably be amazing if they had bothered to do any optimization at all. The graphics settings are preset, so literally the only thing you can do to optimize it yourself is choose 'Low, Med, High, Ultra', but even on the lowest settings a decent rig will struggle.

    Dead by Daylight is a competitive online game where you play as either a survivor, or the killer… Both of these characters are customizable....and are leveled up by completeing tasks and actions in a match… At the end of a match you can use your earned points and dump them into a skill tree to buff your character… And all matches are ranked so    Dead by Daylight
    Annoying for everyone
    Dead by Daylight is a competitive online game where you play as either a survivor, or the killer…
    Both of these characters are customizable....and are leveled up by completeing tasks and actions in a match…
    At the end of a match you can use your earned points and dump them into a skill tree to buff your character…
    And all matches are ranked so don’t worry about unbalanced games
    But these features are the only good this game has going for it, because the rest is a bunch of sluggish and boring garbage…
    There is no story mode here, no prepper tutorial... Just 1 single game mode of survive or hunt…
    As a survivor your goal is to escape with all the members in your group…
    This is a 4 v 1 game
    Run around an uninteresting map looking for repair parts and using these parts the sabotage hooks and fix the generators around the map…
    then activate the gates and escape…
    All the meanwhile trying not get caught and healing teammates that do get injured as you’re able to wiggle your way from the killer, and you’re able to help your teammates off of the hooks…
    Being a survivor is in no way fun at all though...
    You can hide in closets... push things in front of the killer as you try to run away...
    But for the most part youre just feeling your way around a dark map hoping you find something so you can leave…
    chases aren’t thrilling, theyre sluggish and cheap…
    And things are just as annoying for the killer…
    As the killer you run around the map trying to either zap or slash the players trying to survive..
    You can grab the hurt player, carry them to a hook and sacrifice them...
    Your goal is to sacrifice all 4 before they can escape…
    This really feels like a game of freeze tag…
    And players will constantly do the annoying playground tactics of run around a giant rock…
    or copping over a ledge over and over until you just get annoyed and crush it with your foot giving them time to run away...
    This definitely keeps the game feeling balanced…
    But it also keeps the game feeling annoying…
    especially the whole running around in circles but trying to get in a lucky swing…
    it is more satisfying to play as the killer though…
    Of catching someone who thinks they’re clever…
    And you’re given enhanced hearing so you can sense when a survivor is repairing a generator or just recently hid in a closet...
    These moments are enjoyable and almost make up for the overall dull experience that is dead by daylight…
    Almost...
    This game is still bad…

    It doesn't matter that the other player hates the game from a lot of camper killers and therefore a rage quit (for which there is a ban), but camp is a completely accepted thing in this "game" for which there is no penalty!

    And if you play a killer then you won't have much chance against swf because they are constantly communicating with each other so they can completely ruin the killer's gameing!

    But most importantly, new skins are coming, which of course you can buy for money! Instead of releasing new content or fixing that many bugs!

    Hitbox is very fantastic in this game!

The best is when you're survivor and play against a noob killer because the game is actually fun, tense and fair. When you get to know the meta it starts to become frustrating. Here's what happens then:

    Survivors complain killers are OP because they have insta-down power, can teleport/charge across the map, can camp, can know exactly where you are, have ruin/undying/tinkerer/pop (some of the bests perks of the game).

    Killer complains survivors are OP because they loop perfectly, makes you loop the same big building like 3 times in a row before you can even hit them once, makes you eat pallet in the face every 10 steps, and finally hook a survivor after 3-4 gens are done already. All 4 of the survivors have decisive strike which allow them to get off the killer's grasp, or borrowed time which allows them to be hit without being injured X seconds after being saved from a hook, so essentially just stalling for even more times just so you have to chase those survivors even more, wasting you so much time in one single chase while all 5 gens pops.

    I'm amazingly noob at this game, but I learned the meta by watching A LOT of killer/survivor streamers. I think the huge problem of this games are the perks. There is just too much now. A perk is essentially a passive, a power, you can equip. The thing is, this game allows the perk of one survivor/killer to be learned by other survivor/killers. Imagine how dumb it would be if in a moba, every single hero/champion/whatever could learn and use every single skill in the game? What would happen?

    Of course, EVERYBODY would uses the same 4-8 most powerful skill regardless of character (best stun, damage, healing, CC skills and who cares about the rest. It's really what's happening with DBD. Survivor and killer running almost always the same powerful perks because 3/4 of all the perks are completely useless or obsolete. It's really hilarious. A new killer/survivor appears with their own new perks, and then the same old perks are used on them anyway. It's really dumb. I also think it causes hell for behaviour to balance the game.

    The game has become unfun and repetitive. Get looped the same way every game, loop the killer the same way every game, use the same perks every game, cleanse the ruin/undying totem every game. I think behaviour needs to add new STUFF to do in the map beside throwing pallet on the killer and balance the game around it. It's never gonna happen. The game is 4 years old and too much people playing it still. Too much of a risk. Anyway, game's a real bore for me. I even got bored to hell watching the streamers.    … Expand

They only help the killer side not the survivor side so as right now I rate this a 5/10. But with the soon efforts of the ink update coming with the ability to undo pallets maybe they are going to start making efforts to help the games survivor side of the spectrum. Graphics
    The games graphics are playable, not terrible but not great. We can see the hairs, but they look like rubber. You can see the cubes on the lines. If they were to update this games graphics, this game would be really cool Realistics

    It's a how should I say ... a love-hate relationship.
    You can't put it into words how badly the game is balanced.
    The design of most maps is cruel. Infinite loops for the survivor, a few lots of pallets and and and ... You'd think I was a killer, but no, I'm not.

    You'd think I was a killer, but no, I'm not. I know the game inside and out from both sides. Speak to survivors and killers.
    If you don't act too stupid as a survivor, the killer has 0% chance against 4 good survivors. As soon as you become a killer, the survivors become very exhausting and very provocative. Provoke the killer all game long but don't get along if they lose and spit on you with poison and bile in the endgame chat.
    I no longer remember how many offensive comments I had to delete from my profile.
    In other games you get banned for such nasty behavior, but the devs look away every time, the main thing is that the DLCs and the micro transactions sell well!

    Pros:
    - good addiction factor
    - acceptable co-op game
    - good soundscape
    - Varied killers (i.e., against every killer, you have to do it differently)
    - Killer designs are awesome! (Survivors too, of course)
    - The game is always filled with fresh content (i.e. new killers, maps, survivors etc ...)
    that's it from the good side ...

    Contrasts:
    - Terrible map design
    - From a certain rank, the game is very frustrating for the killer (with me from rank 5)
    - Uninteresting gameplay for survivors (read, the survivors have only one goal and that would be to repair generators)
    - Lap lengths (I had laps that only ran 5 minutes because the repair speed from the generators is just too high.
    - The community (rarely seen such a toxic community)!
    - Matchmaking (after Rankreset you don't dare to play as a killer for 2 weeks, because then smurfs will run around everywhere.)
    - bugs, graphic errors, crashes etc ... etc ... etc ...
    - Perks too strong for survivors! (Of course there are also very strong perks for the killer but one shouldn't forget that it is 1v4!
    - badly balanced (once the survivors have a disadvantage and once the killers sometimes have a disadvantage, but in the end the killer has the most disadvantages, even though he is the power role)!

    DBD is not a bad game, but it is also not a good game. It is more in the middle area. There is no lack of creativity, but competent developers.
    Whoever wants to play the game should do it. You will have fun but for how long?
    Although I gave a thumbs down, I will still recommend the game, the DBD is not a bad game. If the Devs listened to a few experienced players who were playing the game from both sides, DBD would change for the better. But until then, DBD will only be a mediocre product on the market for in between!

But the devs have their heads so far up their asses they won’t fix exploits or balance their game. There are a alot of things that completely ruin this game. The killer can literally face camp or tunnel survivors with little to no consequence. This leads to either gen rushing and leaving the person on the hook or being too altruistic and basically saving the person on the hook only to knocked down and put back on the hook immediately. They need to have a Kindred as a passive perk to discourage this behavior or give a dumbed down version of Borrowed Time. As a killer I feel like you have a good chance to “win”(I consider killing at least 2 people good) if you know your characters strengths. Also there are some very OP killers and it seems like the devs only try to make every killer more busted than the last. The ranking system is a joke for multiple reasons but the biggest is farming. Killers control the game so if they wanna farm then everyone is ranking up. The DC temporary ban has given the killer more control and some even take the game hostage by letting the same survivor wiggle off their shoulder and they will just keep downing them...This game used to be very fun but lately it’s a mess. Basically if you want to have fun don’t care about winning, just troll and you’ll have a great time. Also devs have **** on survivors items all the while killer add one have only gotten more busted. I play survivor more bc I like playing with friends. But nowadays we only play to give the killer a hard time not even care about winning. My message to devs is: BALANCE YOUR GAME! Stop coming out with cosmetic crap no one cares about! You have become greedy and lost sight of what the game started out as.… Expand

    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...    … Expand

I have over 500 hours in the game and i know things or two both about survivor and killer game play. Let¨s say hypothetically all 4 survivors play perfectly and killer also play perfectly chances are you are still not getting a single kill unless you are playing for example the nurse. Other "problem" most 0 ratings have is camping/tunneling. This is not games fault, it is the player who decided to do so. The game is very different from others now popular multiplayer titles like League of Legends and you need to put the time in and learn the mechanics and only than review it and not saying after 10 hours killers are OP only because you didn't learn to play it PROPERLY. But yes DBD has some issues, mostly consisting of hit scan and unfair map design. In defense of developers past few months they are working to fix those problems with quite good results. Overall if you have group of friends to play with and you learn how the game works it's fun experience with high skill ceiling so it may hook you in for hundreds potentially thousands of hours.… Expand

I didn't have a good time, because the game is not fun. Playing this game is a true test of patience. Each patch introduces worse and worse bugs, and killers get virtually zero love from the devs. There haven't been any interesting or useful perks for killers for the last three patches. There have been zero attempts to solve a very prominent (albeit complex) issue regarding survive with friends. The game is no balance. Survivors got a lot of fun perks in the new patch and killers got nothing. Because the devs know the player base is 80% survivor (actual stat btw). It doesn't seem like the dedicate any thought into how to make killer less grating because it's a statistically small portion of their player base even though there wouldn't even be a game without killer players.

At the moment gen rushing is a problem and there is going to be a small fix to tool kits but that won't help gen rush. They should just reset all ranks to 20 and have people play for it to balance out. Takes a long time to find a match up to 30 minutes at times depending on where you live. They use to have free events but removed it for a paid season pass. Game is turning to the bring players in and make them spend money before they get tired of it type of game.
    For game play, it's always fun playing survivor now. Once you get use to being chased by the killer you get use to the heart beats for when they get closer. You might get mad if the killer hits you because server lag made you lag backwards. But the game has new bugs with every patch update. But playing with friends is what makes it fun and unfair for the killer. For the killers game play can be stressful depending on everyone's connection. They tend to dodge your swings with ease and you have to out play 4 people to win the game. Graphics are very amazing, and you have to see Moo Moo the cow on a hospital bed. I'll have to get it a low rating because the current decisions they are making are hurting the game.    … Expand

    It's only popular because of its fancy marketing and deep lore and just capitalized on that CS GO type crowd that blames each other when a game has even the most obvious problems.

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

    This game is sometimes so fun, but other times it can be so frustrating. If the survivors are really good playing as a killer is extremely annoying. On the other hand if one of your teammates is bad he can screw everyone else over. This game is awesome if everyone is similar skill levels. If not it can just be annoying.

    The game is full of bugs and glitches. Do you think this is probably an alpha version of the game?! But no. This is a complete game. The developers are Canadians with crooked hands who only want money. Do not start and do not continue to play this misunderstanding.

    2.there is no selection of players by skill level.

    4.Game support leaves a lot to be desired.

    A game that's fun on paper that's destroyed by a p2w element in unlocking other characters. Seriously a console game that has a business model of a mobile game.
    You should be able to unlock characters. Through progression when you have more DLC characters than og characters that's a huge red flag.

    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

    However the lobby and matchmaking are really like a struggle, the real survival part is when you try to enter into a game.

However, the largest issue plaguing this game is the lack of players wanting to play as a Killer. The Killer is the one that hosts the match since this game uses the Peer-to-peer multiplayer formula, so as I said, matches are scarce.

    Another issue is some Killers feel they must camp in order to score enough points to rank up. This not only prevents any rescue to come save a hooked survivor, but usually results in a dulled gameplay experience for both the hooked survivor and the Killer.

    If the Devs would start grinding away at fixing the short comings of this game, it would benefit so much more. Despite the issues, by yourself or with others, this game is definitely worth the $17 I paid. I am logging over 140 hours and still climbing.    … Expand

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.

    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...).
