  • Summary: Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

    Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of    Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

    Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

    The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

    Key Features:

    * Survive Together Or Not - Survivors can either cooperate with the others or be selfish. Your chance of survival will vary depending on whether you work together as a team or if you go at it alone. Will you be able to outwit the Killer and escape their Killing Ground?

    * Where Am I? - Each level is procedurally generated, so youll never know what to expect. Random spawn points mean you will never feel safe as the world and its danger change every time you play.

    * A Feast for Killers - Dead by Daylight draws from all corners of the horror world. As a Killer you can play as anything from a powerful Slasher to terrifying paranormal entities. Familiarize yourself with your Killing Grounds and master each Killers unique power to be able to hunt, catch and sacrifice your victims.

    * Deeper and Deeper - Each Killer and Survivor has their own deep progression system and plenty of unlockables that can be customized to fit your own personal strategy. Experience, skills and understanding of the environment are key to being able to hunt or outwit the Killer.

    * Real People, Real Fear - The procedural levels and real human reactions to pure horror makes each game session an unexpected scenario. You will never be able to tell how its going to turn out. Ambience, music, and chilling environments combine into a terrifying experience. With enough time, you might even discover whats hiding in the fog.    … Expand

    Twenty seven months worth of patches, content updates and a next-generation coat of visual sheen is enough to allow Dead by Daylight to realize its ambition as one of the most enjoyably terrifying online multiplayer experiences out there. If you've been holding off and waiting for Dead by Daylight to 'get good' or 'get fixed', now is the time for you to finally jump in. You won't regret it.

    Dead by Daylight always had core design problems that the developers refused to address beyond a superficial level (Band aid paid for perksDead by Daylight always had core design problems that the developers refused to address beyond a superficial level (Band aid paid for perks and tonedeaf buffs/nerfs) but I found it pretty fun regardless . After being gone for a year I bought a 1 month PS Plus subscribtion just to play a few matches again which I partially regret since on the one hand my time with the game was miserable but on the other I don't think I'll ever feel FOMO ever again

    To put it bluntly the game can only be "fun" to newbies where the novelty of the premise is still fresh , People that have devoted a crazy amount of hours into it and know pretty much everything , Those that play survivor with at least 2 other friends and lastly those that thrive in the toxic stuff this game allows you to get away with

    Much have been said about which side is more fair or fun but for the average Joe currently both sides are hell . If you play solo queue survivor prepare to be camped , Tunneled , Butthumped by Nurses and Blights with thousands of hours and to be constantly let down by teammates that refuse to do their objectives or commit sepuku on hook for no reason

    If you play killer you can hypothetically play pretty toxic yourself and have decent results without breaking a sweat but try to have any fun by actually chasing people around and it's also hell as you have survivors that know maps and loops like the back of their hand and can run you around for ages . At best you might find the weak link first which will cause the entire rest of the team to crumble but that never felt satisfying or rewarding

    The SBMM , The obvious focus on competitive play and streamers and the fact that there aren't any other casual modesin what is supposed to be a glorified freeze tag party game also help kill this game completely dead for me . Lastly the gameplay loop has remained completely stagnant beyond some superficial meta changes as most new perks and killers are nothing more than rehashes of the same concepts    … Expand

Killers camp survivors on hooks with no repercussions. Killers can mash their special abilities with no problems while survivors items only last for milliseconds.
