    Overpowered in favor of the killer, especially if you’re new. Too many killers with too many abilities to learn. Makes sense why nobody plays this game when they baby the killer so much by giving them a ton of abilities that you won’t even understand without a YouTube tutorial. It was probably fun in the beginning though.

    Jogo sem manutenção de bugs, faz perder o progresso do ranking quando o assassino sai do jogo ou cai a ligação. Faz perder item e entre outras coisas com esse problema. Assassinos nesse jogo são desbalanceados em comparação aos sobreviventes.

    Dead by Daylight fails to be a 1 v 4 rated m survival horror well lets be honest the only thing it really delivers on is the 1 v 4 survival, no horror the graphics dont really support fear with there almost cartoony feel, i have no idea why this is rated M it should be rated 12 with warnings for minor violence.

    I see many compares of Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th the game so here's basically comparison

    Gore-----------basically none-------------High

    survivors--------------11----------------------------13
    Surv Difficulty----average--------------------hard
    killer difficulty------hard-----------------------easy

    so after that myself would say friday is better mainly because it stays true to its original bases (the movies) jason is violent supernatural and can kill the counselors like a virus jumping from one to the other and leaving nothing but blood and guts in his path but in Dead By Daylight you have killers like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and LeatherFace for some reason picking people up and leaving them on a silly demonic hook which doesn't kill them straight away there able to be saved by a teammate. Yeah i know impaled through the chest by a hook yet can still run about makes sense doesn't it but in Friday if Jason impales someone they don't get up at all they're dead simple whether it's part 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 or savini hell Jason they don't get back up.    … Expand

    This game was good once upon a time. Now it's full of bugs that the developer won't fix. It still runs on a P2P connection system? Despite promises to provide dedicated servers. Balance is completely **** up. The game used to favor survivors, then it became balanced for a short while, now it's completely stacked in the killer's favor. This game is now trash. Avoid it at all costs.

    To glitchy, your supposed to hide from killer by rocks and other obstacles. Those very same obstacles you will glitch into and can't get out until the killer kills you. Can't unlock killers or survivals without paying actual money.... very poorly put together, a micro transaction money scam.

    From a good game from the last 2 patches(almost half a year) this game is unplayable. Was good enough to score 7/8 but what devs did starting with the RE chapter, console gaming doesn't exist on this game rn. Stuttering, lag servers make this game hard to even move your character...

    This game could be great, but unfortunately it's reputation is marred by childish mods that are power tripping on the official forums. Unfortunately BHVR has trusted their image to a group of moderators that have no idea of the optics they create by randomly banning people for posting things that are encouraging- even though the frame rates in this game are absolute garbage.

    This game is poorly optimized for console. Frame drops with graphics that were good years ago (yet Red Dead is smooth as butter in 4k). Devs said they were optimizing console 2 years ago, never did, and have refused to comment on it since then (outside of “thanks for telling us! We’ll pass it on to the team” garbage while pretending these complaints are brand new).

    OPTIMIZE CONSOLE!
