    this game is a lot more fun if you're laying with friends, but still the art is amazing, almost all of the characters a great, survivor and killers, and the license stuff is what carries this game to the success that it is. DBD wouldn't be here if Halloween wasn't chapter 2 of Dead by Daylight. Overall give it a try if you haven't played it.

    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.

    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.

    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 every killer has an unique ability.
    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

Sometimes, players can be toxic, such as killers who camp and tunnel, but this is true of any multiplayer game. Overall, a great game.… Expand

    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.

    Worst game ever made.

    3 minutes of loading before you are on the menu, makes my buddies ps4 blow up like an airplane cuz he wont clean the cum out of it. Virgins are trying to make this game competitive cuz they ass got no friends to play swf with and suck at actual competitive games. Like seriously, so sad you're taking away oxygen that could be used for our savior Lowtiergod.    Worst game ever made.

    Community is **** but thats no surprise since 90% of it is part of the gay community.

    I come back to this game once, 10 months later and im still one of the best players getting horrendous ass randoms with killers who suck dick but get carried by their perks.

    My brother recommended this game and it's so bad I actually added him to a watchlist. Something is wrong with him and anyone who thinks this game is good. Have you played a good game? You should try a good game instead of this abortion bucket.

    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.

    I like the idea of ​​the game, the setting and the assassins draw a lot of attention but it is undeniable that this game, for older and more experienced players, is torturous to play as an assassin. Either you take a fun killer, not too strong and fall with 4 players on call and get too angry, or you take a strong killer, you don't appreciate the gameplay, and you get too angry anyway!

The matchmaking is still very bad, the game has a lot of bugs and if you play it for more than 1 year without friends or being main assassin, you will be very disappointed. Buy it if you have friends and want to have fun together. Alone? You will probably and eventually get frustrated a lot.… Expand

    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

    It’s a good game but the developers have no clue what they’re doing and don’t listen to feedback from the community. Some killers are really OP and other killers are really bad so you usually run into the same 5 killers. It’s still really fun to play with friends though.

    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.

    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.
