    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.

    The game is truly a good time. For $25 I recommend picking it up.    … Expand

    With all of the updates and DLC that come out for this, it makes the game even better. The dev team also puts out some regular QoL patches too, which is a very nice touch. Shows that they care very much about this game.

    The new additions of Killers and Survivors are also really fun. All of the new abilities to learn and prestige to get has me hooked. I've prestiged every character and ever killer so far at least once.

    This game is a steal at the price. I have well over 300 hours playing it and I definitely plan on putting in more.    … Expand

    Dead by Daylight is an online game of cat and mice, except with a slasher theme, and the addition of a couple of well known slashers from horror films. I did not expect to have this much fun with an online slasher game, but wow!!! This game is quite the surprise of fresh fun. Definitely a must own on whichever console you have.

    Without any doubt, DBD is a great gaming experience. Every match is as crazy as different, considering you are always playing with or against real gamers. Simple gameplay, great formula, ever growing IP. Love the work they do in community management via Discord.

    I've played for a few months don't remember the exact number but I've been having more fun with friends and laughing over what happens during matches. An example being that I vaulted over a ledge so many times while being chased by the killer that they disconnected themselves from the game.

    For this type of game I have to give it a 9, because I thoroughly enjoy and come back to it. There's not that many horror online multiplayer games that make me do that. And yes, the fame does have its glitches and so on but even with those I can't help myself but enjoy it, it's very addictive.

    The good:

    This game offers two perspectives: The hunter and the hunted. Your experience will depend entirely on how you choose to play the game. The fact you are able to choose is a great feature; you are not limited to minimal choices, even as you begin the game. The survivors, unlike the killer, do not seem to possess any special abilities.

The fact you are able to choose is a great feature; you are not limited to minimal choices, even as you begin the game. The survivors, unlike the killer, do not seem to possess any special abilities. Your entire goal is to get out alive, and there is not much sugarcoating it. If you are the hunter, you will have a specific ability, depending on your character choice. Servers have been working well, and I have never waited any longer than 30 seconds to join a lobby. Plenty of active players here. There is a decent mix up of hunters to choose from. The boards are spacious, leaving room for hunter or hunted to explore without being targeted too quickly.

    The bad:

    Some of the positives have negatives. For instance, the size of the boards are generous. They have more generators than needed, so the advice of being near a generator to find survivors should be taken as lightly as possible. You will have to get creative in your approach (literal approach), because there are plenty of hiding places. The game favors the survivors; they simply have more methods of escape than you have of hunting, if you're a hunter. Survivors are offered third-person view, increasing their knowledge of their surroundings. Hunters have to rely on first-person, and the challenges pile up with the design of the boards. Navigating can be challenging. There was a point when I had to pause the game because I felt I was having a sensory overload. You can only see a survivor if they're in your line of sight. Red scratches are used to indicate their footprints, but this can be confusing (which I assume was the point). Survivors are awarded the ability to hear their own heartbeat speed up, in addition to third-person. It can feel somewhat lopsided. The chance of escape for survivors is high, and teammates can aid their escape. Be watchful of this, because the second you think you have a kill, it can be stripped from you. It will take some practice, but the game is quite fun once you begin to nail down some of the mechanics.

    I recommend it, and give it a couple of days before deciding on how you feel.    … Expand

    Now that said, there are some flaws, like the major one, no dedicated server? And playing multiplayer is a pain. When you survive with friends, after each game we constantly need to rejoin one anothers group for a new game. This could be fixed.

    The game is fun but definitely benefits from playing with other people. Playing as a survivor is a lot easier than playing as the killer. Once you get the hang of the maps you'll be okay but some maps can get confusing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game that deserves better scores than it's been getting for console.
    This is 4 survivors vs 1 killer.
    To survive you must activate 5 generators which will power the controls to an escape door. The killer must hunt down and sacrifice as many of the survivors as they can and prevent their escape.
    This is an Independent Game. It's not from an established studio. But it's still excellent.
    - You choose if you play as a Survivor or Killer.
    - Matchmaking is very good right now. If you pick Survivor or Killer you will get a game quickly.
    - If the Killer quits because he's doing poorly, the Survivors all get an XP reward.
    - If you get killed as a Survivor you can quit the match, get your XP and nobody is penalised. The match carries on for everyone else and you are free to start a new one.
    - The game rewards cooperation and this encourages survivors to help each other so most of the time they do.
    - You're going to suck as a level 1 Survivor and probably struggle as a level 1 Killer. Manage your expectations. Learn to play. It doesn't take too long to get the hang of it and once you realise this then the game is more fun and you can be encouraged by progression.
    - There are many Audio Cues to things that are happening in game. A decent Gaming Headset will really compliment this game.
    Graphically the game is fine. Some games look better and that's because they've got the same budget as a Hollywood Blockbuster. The graphics do the job fine for this game.
    Audio for this game is exceptional. Audio cues make a Gaming Headset a huge advantage.
    Gameplay seems very simple at first but as you continue you realise it's much more complex. The first few times you get a "Skill Check" while you're completing an action like fixing a Generator or Healing a colleague you'll fail and think it's ridiculous. But eventaully you'll recognise the Audio Cue for the Skill Check and because you're prepared you'll usually hit it easily.
    Expect to get murdered early on and have fun with abandon. As you become more experienced with the game you'll find success with both Survivors and Killers alike.
    Great game. There are very few other games out there like it.    … Expand

    I'm late to the party when it comes to Dead By Daylight (DBD). I know it's been on PC of over a year and there's already a cult following, of sorts, for the game. That said, I had no idea that DBD was releasing this week on consoles. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that not only did my local Best Buy have the game in stock, but it was only $29.99 (picked it up for $23.99).

That said, I had no idea that DBD was releasing this week on consoles. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that not only did my local Best Buy have the game in stock, but it was only $29.99 (picked it up for $23.99). At either price the game is a steal.

    Let's talk about the game. Now bear in mind that I only picked this game up yesterday afternoon and spent a total of 3-4 hours playing, most time spent as the Killer. This game is a little off putting at first I will admit. You'll no doubt feel a sense of "wasted money" dread come over you as you play your first match. Fight through this feeling, you'll be glad you did because you will find a surprisingly fun and relatively deep game beneath. There is no interactive tutorial to speak of, most info on how to play is in the FAQ, so expect to do some light reading to learn if you're not coming with prior knowledge. You can also check the Reddit sub for DBD, it has a lot of great info to get a "newbie" up to speed.

    The premise is pretty simple, 1 Killer & 4 Survivors. Simple. There's more depth to it once you get into the bloodweb and other RPG-lite elements like add-ons, perks, buffs, etc. Rounds will last as long as the players allow. If the Killer is efficient then you're looking at 10-15 min or if the survivors know what their doing. If either are new to the game, then it could last 30-45 min. Lot's of hide-n-seek, cat and mouse.

    Most people already know what the game is about, so I'll skip most, but it translate really well to consoles and to controllers. The game also runs really well on consoles, for the most part. If you're looking for something to compliment Friday the 13th, this is your game.

    A very fun game whether playing as the survivor or the killer; truly terrifying as a survivor until you understand how to more skillfully navigate the game. Unfortunately, the game tends to be balanced towards survivors, and over time has become very polarized in difficulty between the two. Killer has become unreasonably challenging due to the many ways they allow survivors to escape.A very fun game whether playing as the survivor or the killer; truly terrifying as a survivor until you understand how to more skillfully navigate the game. Unfortunately, the game tends to be balanced towards survivors, and over time has become very polarized in difficulty between the two. Killer has become unreasonably challenging due to the many ways they allow survivors to escape.

    Like any game it has it's technical issues here and there. For instance, screens with menus tend to make your system sound like it's going to fly away, but settles down once a match starts.

    The developer definitely commit's player's money toward improving the game, but it doesn't help the perception the game's developer generates with certain costs it imposes for things like cosmetics. Some cosmetics can only be purchased with a purchasable currency in the game, which isn't so bad. What's bad is that the currency is advertised as being in discounted packs, like one pack provides 1100 currency, for 9.99, suggesting you are getting 10% free. However, the outfits you purchase with the currency are marked up accordingly; a full outfit, on the page you buy it is also marked as being discounted by roughly 10%, but in all it costs you all of the currency you buy. So, there's not really any discount on the currency or the outfit.

    It's easy to overlook these things when you realize that you don't have to buy anything to play the game; some characters require you to purchase them with real money, but most can be bought with a currency earned by just playing the game. But, there are shady aspects of the purchased characters, too. Characters that have strong perks that can be taught to other characters in the game will often be changed a month or two after release leaving you regretting buying the character for the perk alone.

    If you can overlook the costs of buying new content, or don't care about playing the game without the paid content, you can manage to have a lot of fun - provided you can tolerate the community, too.    … Expand

    DBD is one of my favorite horror multiplayer game, This is a game about 4 survivor VS 1 killer.
    Survivor's Objective is to repair 5 generator and killer's objective is to prevent the survivor from completing the generators and kill them.
    Every person can have 4 different perks ( goes for the survivor and the killer ) and using these perks to gain an advantage over the other person. And    DBD is one of my favorite horror multiplayer game, This is a game about 4 survivor VS 1 killer.

    But there might be one thing new player might not like which is grinding, this game an unnecessary amount of grind and every perk have 3 tiers which gets better every tier it goes up and there are two type of chapters (DLC), one is original chapter which the idea of the killer and survivor is an original made by the Behavior, and the other is Licensed chapter which means they got the licensed for a character from a movie or a video game like Nemesis from Resident evil or Michael Myers from the Halloween Movie. And there is 3 type of currency in this game, 2 are obtainable free from playing ( Bloodpoints and Iridescent Shards ) and other one is only purchasable ( Auric Cells ).

    First of all let's talk about bloodpoints, It's in game money to upgrade your character to unlock perks, You'll get around 10k - 30k per game according to what you've done in the match!

    And secondly let's talk about Iridescent Shards, These currency are mostly used to purchase characters ( survivor and killers ) but you can only purchase characters from original chapters for 9k Iridescent Shards.

    The lastly let's talk about Auric Cells, Basically you can purchase licensed character and original character for 500 auric cell which is are 5$

    You can also purchase any Chapter for 4.99$ or 8.99$ according to the chapter if it's one character chapters then it'll be 4.99$ but if it's 2 character chapter it's 8.99$ but sometime they release a chapter with 2 survivors and 1 killer like Resident Evil Chapter and The Stranger Things Chapter but The Stranger Things chapter is not purchasable anymore since Behavior have lost the right to Stranger things license. I highly recommend waiting for a discount and then you'll be able to purchase the chapter for half the price on PS Store.

    I hope this helps and Sorry for my bad English and I hope you give this game a try in the future!    … Expand

    An asymmetric multiplayer experience that let's you be the star of your very own slasher film as either the killer or a would-be survivor. It gets the basics right with some very balanced 1 v. 4 action, a solid amount of characters to choose from, and deep skill trees. However, with only one game mode and a somewhat limited amount of maps the game's longevity can rightfully be called intoAn asymmetric multiplayer experience that let's you be the star of your very own slasher film as either the killer or a would-be survivor. It gets the basics right with some very balanced 1 v. 4 action, a solid amount of characters to choose from, and deep skill trees. However, with only one game mode and a somewhat limited amount of maps the game's longevity can rightfully be called into question. Especially if you don't have any friends to help you try and survive the night with.

    Personally, I found playing as the killer to be the most fun of the two options. It's all hunting down survivors and sacrificing them to the "Entity." You're slower than they are, but much stronger. Things like audio cues will help you track them down on the map whenever they happen to make a noisy mistake. Each killer plays uniquely and managing to come out on top feels great because it means you managed to outplay four other people at once who were all working together. Which even as an invincible psychopath isn't as easy as you might think. I think the main reason I preferred to play this way though was because I wasn't forced to rely on other people.

    Playing as a survivor can be equally rewarding. Provided you have a good team. If you don't have any friends with the game then you're at the mercy of randos. I think we all know how poorly that can turn out. Communication are coordination are key to success. Your goal is to get a certain amount of generators going to open the exit. One little slip-up during the repair sequence can cost you everything as it instantly alerts the killer to your location. With no way to defend yourself it's all running, hiding, and trying to not be seen. You still have a chance to succeed by yourself, but it's so much harder. With some buddies and mics this can be a blast, but after jumping into so many random matches that ended in disaster because wanted to work together, I quickly decided to play strictly as a killer when no one I knew with the game was online.

    Dead by Daylight might not be the most content rich experience and half of it practically requires you to play with friends, but the novelty of getting to play tense games of cat-and-mouse against real people makes it worth a look for those curious. Horror fans in particular will get kick out of just how accurate a representation it is of slasher flicks. One game mode wasn't quite enough to keep me coming back for months on end even with two distinctly different methods of play, but it was fun while it lasted. And some that's going to be a long time.    … Expand

    However on the down side, the game suffers from a distinct lack of care when addressing bugs and fixes for all platforms ( ps4 is always problematic ) And the developers desire to create new twists and ideas, can sometimes overarch into a creating concept that simply does blend in well with the rest of the game. But the biggest issue of all is the lack of moderation when it comes players behaviour and play styles in game ( hard camping is allowed ! ) which has created a slightly toxic atmosphere within the ps4 dbd community. Trust me playing with friends is very much advised.

    Overall I would still recommend this, and once you see past the flaws there is a very unique experience to be had.    … Expand

    This game has the potential to be great but instead it is plagued with bugs, glitches and game mechanics which are easy to abuse, the survivors can abuse badly placed windows and pallets long enough that the other three survivors can complete the majority of the generators and survive.

The killers can abuse the hook mechanics to farm bloodpoints from the survivor who can't do very much about it. The killer also has 'bloodlust' which increases their speed when they are unable to catch the survivor, this mechanic is good in theory and is necessary in the current state of the game, but is a cheap way to get a hit on a survivor. These are just a few of the flaws in the game that can be abused. Most of the killers in Dead by Daylight can be outplayed by survivors and vice versa, the wide range of items, offerings and perks at your disposal create a variety of different ways to play the game.
    In my opinion, playing killer is not fun, it is often frustrating and honestly quite boring, whereas playing survivor is entertaining, you are filled with fear and the heartbeat noise when the killer approaches is a terrifying sensation that people generally look for when purchasing a horror game. When a game goes well, this game is absolutely fantastic, when the four survivors and the killer have good attitudes towards the game and try not to abuse the mechanics that make the match significantly less fun for each other, Dead by Daylight is a fantastic experience. These games are uncommon and Dead by Daylight's ranking system has reduced the chances of this happening, but when you get one of these games, you feel satisfied. Because of the potential this game has to be a unique experience that is both fun and instils a sense of fear when playing survivor, the sense of accomplishment you get when killing a survivor as the killer, the fantastic menu music that warps into a menacing, metal theme when you select the killer, or a sombre, acoustic theme when you select survivor and the fact that the game is constantly being updated with improvements, i decided to give this game a 7/10.    … Expand

    If you read the description of the game you will be fooled. It suggests that the objective is to kill as killer and to survive as survivor, but that's not true.

If you focus on killing fast you lose points and ranking an if you play to survivor happens the same.

    If you pick survivor and play solo, you are dammed. Find a good team and trash the killer. Still it is a lot easier to play as survivor because the system rewards your actions more, just keep trying to play as a team and you will rise.

    As killer you need to be way better and to have luck. Against a good survivor team you have no chance and you can start playing versus red teams ridiculously soon, like level 15. Also the map influences the game a lot. So it is pretty much a matter of luck in matchmaking, even if you do your part.

    Another big problem of matchmaking is the time it takes as a survivor to find a match. Normally 10 minutes. Sometimes more than 20.
    This happens because there aren't enough killers, it is a way less rewarding role.

    Apart from this difficulties, it can be fun as a team or if you just do 2-3 games as a killer.
    If you want to play hardcore, well, I would suggest to go as survivor, at least first.    … Expand

    - Управление. Специфика игры за выживших подразумевает постоянное вращение камерой, необходимо постоянно очень быстро оглядываться. Максимальной сенсы, выставленной в настройках игры, катастрофически не хватает. Зачем такое ограничение непонятно.

    - Матчмейкинг. Ищет довольно долго. Если все таки игру находит, то с вероятностью 50/50 тебя кинуло к маньяку из какого-нибудь задрищенска или из Испании, например. В результате имеем пинг >300. Приходится ливать, искать заново. И так раз по 5 приходится выходить из лобби - нормальная ситуация.

    - Лаги, баги. Очень много. Сколько уже патчей вышло, а воз и ныне там.

    - Дисбаланс. Некоторые маньяки настолько сильные , что в более менее умелых руках у выжившых почти нет шанса выйти с карты. (Нюрса, Рин). И наоборот. Против стака из 4 выжившых, играющих в пати и имеющих связь между собой, маньяку практически нечего делать.

    - Еще о дисбалансе. Убитые маньяком выжившие теряют предметы и аддоны обязательно. Маньяк не теряет ничего, даже если выжившим удалось сбежать.

    Dead By Daylight is an asymmetrical horror game that allows you to either play as one of four survivors working to repair generators to escape a place of nightmares, or as the killer hunting down those survivors.

    The game overall is very enjoyable when playing as both a survivor and a killer. There are a good variety of unique characters, especially when it comes to killers, and just as    Dead By Daylight is an asymmetrical horror game that allows you to either play as one of four survivors working to repair generators to escape a place of nightmares, or as the killer hunting down those survivors.

    The game overall is very enjoyable when playing as both a survivor and a killer. There are a good variety of unique characters, especially when it comes to killers, and just as much variety when it comes to locations and perks each character can use.

    However, the game is not very new player friendly. The matchmaking system, like with most PvPs, has its flaws and can lead new players to face off against experienced players, and this is where the game's main problems shine. As a new player, each survivor starts off only able to use a very limited number of perks at their weakest state, the same goes for killers, making it especially more difficult for new players to be on the same play field as veteran players. On top of that, progression is extremely slow, and much of the game's content is stuck behind pay-walls - most survivors and killers, and thus their perks are locked unless you purchase them individually, this also applies to cosmetics for all characters.

    Perhaps the least enjoyable part of the game is its repetitive nature. Every game is the same, the killer hunting down four survivors and the four survivors working together to get generators completed so they can escape. There is little variation in the gameplay which can quickly bore players.

    The best part of the game is how well it recreates the atmosphere of the Horror genre. The locations, killers, and use of sound and lighting, help create a spine-chilling atmosphere that makes you feel like you're apart of a Horror film. The game has also been working more to create intriguing lore for each of their characters, but this is more of an optional experience that requires a lot of effort from the player's end to be able to discover. And on the other side, playing as a killer is really fun, at least until the toxic playerbase comes to play.

    Unfortunately, like most PvPs, people simply can't enjoy this game without sending you mockery and threats, especially if you're a minority.    … Expand

But the amount you need to advance and the time it takes becomes extremely grindy. You want to do better, so you'll play until you can get the perks you want, but then hit a point where you'd be looking to play as different killers and then you're hit with the microtransactions. There are some paid characters that are so much more powerful or sneaky that you feel you should purchase them, but are then disappointed by the learning curve associated with playing them.
    Additionally, the game is very addictive, but such a time sink. Occasionally the developers will make changes to the balance of play that will favor either the survivors or killers, and it is a constant battle to optimize the characters you play to maximize your chances of playing. They just can't seem to get true balance achieved.

Leaving for some really choppy and broken games, as doing most actions such as escaping from the killer, dropping pallets, vaulting, etc will leave you with massive frame rate issues. Making it hard on both sides ( survivor and killer ) to do their job effectively. There are no dedicated servers and killers with consistently bad connection to the server will ruin the game for others in the lobby making it a terrible experience for survivors, since the killer creates the lobbies. Looking past all of those issues this game is fun to play. Im glad they made this game free for ps plus users last month, as buying this game full price might not be in your best interest. You can gather up to 3 other friends and have a exciting time playing against all sorts of killers. However the developers should have really thought about porting this to console....… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the game but don't bother getting it on console. Not until they decide to fix the flawed system that the rage quitting killers love to exploit. Good game but very toxic and almost unplayable on the PS4.

    Pros: Great co-op experience,
    modes where you can only pay with friends,
    tense atmosphere,
    interesting killers and survivors.

    Cons: Killers always leave when the survivors are about to win,
    killers camp so survivors can't be saved,
    microtransactions,
    you lose all your equipped items and don't get bloodpoints if the killer disconnects.
    After every single game you have to invite your friends again because even if you're in a group because the whole thing disbands after the game.

    Had 5 games in a row where when my friends and I got the gates open to escape and the killer disconnected so we got nothing. I believe they should make it to where the killer or even survivor who disconnects is the only one to lose everything and gain nothing so the rest of us are not being punished for the antics of childish players.    … Expand

On the opposite end, one killer is overpowered, the nurse. The game in general is not balanced correctly. Matchmaking is a nightmare, the wait times are long and you will be put in a game with different ranks. New players better beware because you will be put in matches with high ranks, especially if you are a killer. It is not uncommon to have at least have on 5 rank or up while you are still in the double digit ranks each match. There are small glitches that can hurt the experience.    … Expand

    This game is hard to swallow. I never really got good at it but most of the time the killer will kill a majority. On top of that, perks are essential to doing better at the game but most of the perks you have to grind a lot of time for are bad.

    This game used to easily be a 9 in my opinion as it had very fun gameplay with somewhat fair and basic perks ect. Now the game has a broken mmr system, boring new killers, complex and unbalanced perks. This game is also not scary after your first 10 games. I would only recommend if you play it with friends. it really fell off.

    Dead by Daylight is an online multiplayer title where one player takes on the role of the “killer” and attempts to hunt down a team of four players before they are able to escape.

    The idea behind the game certainly has potential but unfortunately it has not been fully realised here. Each level is randomly generated meaning that, although there are a selection of different locations,    Dead by Daylight is an online multiplayer title where one player takes on the role of the “killer” and attempts to hunt down a team of four players before they are able to escape.

    The idea behind the game certainly has potential but unfortunately it has not been fully realised here. Each level is randomly generated meaning that, although there are a selection of different locations, they all look virtually the same. On top of this the team of four are always tasked with doing exactly the same thing to escape, namely activate five generators by sitting there holding L1 for about 2 minutes each time, and then find the exit. There is an skill tree of sorts that allows players to improve certain skills and stats but it makes little to no real difference to the way the game plays.

    If you can get four or five friends together its possible there is some short term fun to be had but in the end the core gameplay is too simplistic and repetitive to hold players interest for very long.    … Expand

    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…

This comes from my perspective as a survivor main, a killer main might have a different experience. From my perspective, I feel as if this game is too killer friendly. Everything is built around making the killer experience enjoyable. You can hear it when you play survivor, and when you play killer. The survivor music is full of panic and despair, while the killer music is more enjoyable, and somewhat relaxing, to listen to. And the developers are always going to make the killer mains more happy than survivor mains.

    Another problem is the controller. The joystick controller on the right that controls the camera is very slow, even at 100% sensitivity. And using your thumb will never be as accurate as using your whole arm when you are using a mouse. It's very hard to look back quickly when your being chased, then looking forwards to see where you are going. And there is a problem that if you move your left joystick button in between the stopped and full speed motion, you'll actually look like your moving in slow motion, this is not helpful in a chase.

    I feel as if developers could do a better job with the chases and make them more fun. If they slowed down the killers on PS4, because of those main issues stated above, and reduce the things killers needed to do in order to pip, I think everyone would agree that they would make chases more fun again, and it would just be a better game. But how it is for now, I wouldn't recommended it unless you like being a killer.    … Expand

This led to even more frustration, and at one point, I just had to stop playing for a while. It doesn't help that a lot of the "Perks" in this game are incredibly situational, and in a lot of cases, downright useless depending on the match, at least on the survivor end of the spectrum.

    I would like to give this game props for it's writing, and overall story. It's very interesting, and each survivor and killer have a very unique lore behind them. Each time a new chapter is announced, I'm interested to see how it plays into the game. But the enjoyable writing, and unique characters in this game simply can't make up for all the previous problems mentioned. It's extremely frustrating to play as a new killer and end up being looped and t-bagged the entire game. It honestly takes away from the experience I imagine the developers were trying to create. I understand that the game can't handicap either side, but I also can't help but feel like something can be changed to help it feel more authentic.

    To conclude, I would recommend Dead by Daylight, but only if you can overlook its many flaws, and, be it the competition or selection of characters, find something in it that you think you'll enjoy.    … Expand

Which is a lot of time for the killer to find you since he/she is allowed to see all locations of generators with a red aura and great speed. Further more about speed, I personally feel the killer is already fast enough which is great! I play killer too. I just do not understand why there is a one hit down for the killer(s). I can kill everyone without the one hit wonder or ranged weapons. I’ve played many survivor games even with great skilled players. I’m currently Rank 3 and when in contact with a one hit killer, dont forget to take into consideration their fast agility, guns/tomahawks, abundant amount of hooks you cannot wiggle out of before finding yourself on one, it makes the game frustrating and then consider taking your time elsewhere at a more suitable and fun game. Do not get me wrong the game is fun, you just get over the it when the past five killers you come across one hitters and a Mori(dying by the hand of the killer without having to be hooked 3x). I get it being hooked 3x is a lot but as mentioned I have no problem being the killer. Theres are Killers that tunnel(focus on one person till their death hook) or camp and wait till the person dies. Once again the game has the potential to be amazing and its fun at times, I know its not meant for survivors to escape but I just feel the killer is too over powered and the survivors are not well equipped in this situation.

    TL;DR - Dead by Daylight is an unbalanced mess of a game that heavily favors one side over another for the sake of "atmosphere" (AKA player hindrance)

    When I began playing this game, I expected something in the vein of Evolve - a 4v1 multiplayer that puts greater emphasis on the 1 while giving the 4 a healthy amount of options to deal with the threat. In this aspect, Dead by Daylight fails in EVERY regard. The 4-person team of "Survivors" are left with little to no way of dealing with the "Killer" player, outside of awkwardly running at a pace that can only be described as "brisk walking". Some may argue this is thematically appropriate, given that this game likes to pretend it's a slasher flick from the 80's. While this may be true, that is no defense for a game that actively hinders the player at every turn for the sake of atmosphere. Wanna heal yourself? Without a special (randomized) perk, too bad, you have to wait for a buddy. Want to strategically bait the monster and try to duck around him? Sucks to be you, monsters have a hit box that would put Call of Duty to shame, and you could get hit even if you're BEHIND the damn thing. Got stuck on the hook and want to try your luck at escaping? How adorable, you get a 4% (ACTUAL NUMBER) chance of succeeding, with 2-3 failures resulting in an instant loss for you. As an added bonus, if you DO manage to escape and then get hooked again, you have roughly 3 seconds before you're booted from the game. Should you play as a Survivor, you will have to deal with the fact that the game is actively trying to MAKE you lose. Playing as a Killer feels clunky and poorly designed, as you must deal with an awkward first-person view that's slightly obscured with a constant mist on your screen. Most killers are very large people that tower over survivors, thus making chasing them feel unnatural as a result, as they will duck into holes and corridors that you simply can't fit through. And yet, picking off Survivors is EXTREMELY easy, as they cannot do a single thing to you, outside of shining lights at you or putting obstacles in your way, which are minor inconveniences at best. Finally, and perhaps the most egregious nail in the proverbial coffin for this wannabe slasher hybrid, a multiplayer game that completely disbands the lobby after EVERY SINGLE MATCH is nothing short of disgraceful.

    I've played several matches with my friends and several more by myself, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is one of the worst multiplayer experiences I've ever slogged through.

    Don’t buy it.
    Wait for Friday 13th to get back from the legal issue and then get that instead.

On console killer is currently unplayable due to multiple issues including the FPS. We were promised 60 FPS a year and a half ago, now we are lucky to hit 20 - with constant drops throughout a match. Playing killer means that a survivor spinning in a circle will cause the frame rate to plummet even further, making them extremely hard to hit. We also have what the devs call "aim-dressing" which is like auto-aim except it forces you to miss. About half the killer's that are playable on pc are not on our versions. The devs show no interest in fixing these issues and instead choose to completely ignore the constant complaints about it. Rating this a 1 because playing as survivor isn't too bad - just don't expect to be able to play the full game you paid for.… Expand

    Dead by Daylight was my favorite game - key word WAS. Aside from an extremely grindy battlepass and Dead by Daylight focusing more on $15 cosmetics than fixing game bugs, the devs have completely ignored the console community. With each update the game has become worse and worse to play on console. The FPS is bad as survivor but nearly unplayable as killer.

They added in crossplay with PC which only enhanced how unbalanced console is to since PC has much better optimization. The console community has asked on Q&As about optimization but the devs ignore those questions. The console community turned to the official forums, creating a post with 1k comments and 21k views but the devs had a mod close it without giving the console community any answers and told members any further posts about console optimization would be deleted. The devs have made it pretty clear that if you want to play Dead by Daylight you should play it on PC because they are not going to give console any attention.… Expand

    Dead by Daylight on console FeelsBadMan. If you want to play a game that at the start makes your ps4 sound like a jet engine, experience consistent frame drops, be at a disadvantage to PC in crossplay due to lack of optimization, and have it be extremely grindy to level up characters and complete battle passes then DBD is the game for you. If that doesn't sound appealing save your moneyDead by Daylight on console FeelsBadMan. If you want to play a game that at the start makes your ps4 sound like a jet engine, experience consistent frame drops, be at a disadvantage to PC in crossplay due to lack of optimization, and have it be extremely grindy to level up characters and complete battle passes then DBD is the game for you. If that doesn't sound appealing save your money because the devs will ignore you as a console player even if you do spend plenty of money on the game, dlc, battle passes, and cosmetics. The devs promised the console community two years ago that they would optimize console but haven't done anything to make console optimization better. Recent updates have made the fps even worse for console. Console players had a post going in the official forums that was over 30 pages long of console players, with support from some PC players, looking for answers on fixing the issues with console. At most console players get a "we're looking into it" but they've been giving that response for 2 years now, it's time they start doing more than "looking into it." The mods of the forum closed the 30 page post with threats to delete future posts console makes about optimization. Console players are persistent and have been trying to make new posts which if the Mods aren't deleting they are instead sinking so comments don't bump the post to the top. Devs ignore console players looking for optimization and have not said anything regarding next gen which comes out in a couple months.

    If you are truly interested in playing Dead by Daylight get it on PC because console version is just a waste of time and money.    … Expand

    A fun idea but poorly implemented. Between laggy servers that affect gameplay, pay to win mictrotransactions, unbalanced teams a lack of insight by the dev team, it is my biggest regret of buying something on sale in a long while. Stay far away or pick up Friday the 13th for the same game but made slightly better.

    Dead by Daylight pays tribute to horror movies from the 80s. The asymmetric gameplay is just as fun no matter if we're playing the killer or trying to escape him.

    Sadly, unless it manages to pick itself up pretty sharpish, Dead by Daylight may well be dead on arrival. [Sept 2017, p.91]
