    Gonna be honest, the frame rate drags a little, and the graphics are crap. But if you love the D-B-D formula already, this game is for you! I can say that it brings the 85% of the experience to the switch, so fans who have already played it will be please, but newcomers may find the steep price and technical drawbacks a bit too painful.

    I really wanted to play it because I have it on PC, when accessing the game after updating it I find very low graphics. The miniatures of the characters are shown in great graphic detail, but the characters of the game and the game in general have very bad graphics. I know it's the nintendo switch and not an xbox or ps4 but I think they can do better.

    El juego es muy divertido y tiene unos gráficos decentes que en general permiten una buena experiencia. Existen algunos personajes que aún no salen por cuestiones de licencia, pero saldrán. Lo malo es que siendo un juego que hay que comprar existan micropagos y que algunos escenarios presentan bugs graves.

    Il est difficile de conseiller la version Switch de Dead By Daylight. En effet, le jeu de base est plutôt très bon et, une fois n’est pas coutume, je vous invite à le découvrir sur PC,PS4 ou One. Avec ses problèmes techniques importants, profonds, et qui touchent parfois à la structure même du gameplay, la version Swith ne rend pas hommage au jeu.

En effet, le jeu de base est plutôt très bon et, une fois n’est pas coutume, je vous invite à le découvrir sur PC,PS4 ou One. Avec ses problèmes techniques importants, profonds, et qui touchent parfois à la structure même du gameplay, la version Swith ne rend pas hommage au jeu. Bien sûr, des mises à jours seront sans doute déployées pour essayer de corriger tout cela et je ne manquerai pas de faire une update de mon test également. Dans le cas où tous ces soucis techniques et graphiques ne seraient pour vous qu’un détail, nul doute que vous réussirez à prendre du plaisir à jouer au chat et à la souris dans le milieu très fermé des tueurs en série et des survivants des franchises horrifiques les plus célèbres de ces trentes dernières années.… Expand

    The gameplay style is always fun to play, but its the WORST port of the series. Ive played on pc, ps4, and xbox and the switch version is just inferior in every way. The frames are bad and the connection to servers do not help the gameplay.

If you are DYING to play this game and do not have a pc or ps4 or xbox, then have fun. But realize that it is the worst way to play the game and the MOST expensive ($40). Ps4 and pc is around $20 and xbox is around $25. Sure with the switch version you get some extra dlc's for the price but still expensive for a game that was released 4 years ago. In my personal opinion, I give this game a 5 out of 10 because I love the Dev team, the gameplay is great and exciting, but this port of the game is a waste of money at this point because of graphics, framerates, and connection to servers. Also the price =/… Expand

    I like this game. Its got a lot going for it.
    The thing is, I like Friday the 13th a million times better.
    Dead by Daylight keeps adding more and more material, which is nice, but its just more micro-transactions, and even if I don't buy them, I have to update to accommodate people who did. Friday the 13th isn't adding any more material. Gameplay in Dead by Daylight depends mostly on    I like this game. Its got a lot going for it.

    Gameplay in Dead by Daylight depends mostly on stats, gameplay in Friday the 13th depends mostly on the skill of the player.
    Friday the 13th is a pretty good simulation of the movies, Dead by Daylight has characters from a number of different horror franchises, but they aren't really like those characters. For example, in the Nightmare on Elm Street films, Freddy Kruger does all kinds of creative stuff to kill them in their dreams, whereas in Dead by Daylight, he just grabs people and puts them on hooks (like every other killer in the game).
    However, Dead by Daylight runs more smoothly and supports cross-platform play, so that's nice.
    So yeah, I recommend this game, but its a soft recommendation.    … Expand

    While the Nintendo Switch version is lacking when compared to the other platforms, developer Behaviour Interactive has worked damn hard to fix some issues that may have occurred during the launch and it shows. But I can only recommend this version if you have no other means of playing it. If you have only a Nintendo Switch and this type of game interests you, I recommend it, maybe even with the lights out, headphones on, and volume up.

    Dead by Daylight has the groundwork for a great game but stumbles in its execution. It could be so much more with just a little more polish. Hopefully, it will inspire better products of this variety, because the concept contains a bundle of promise. Horror fans will find a lot to love - as long as they keep their expectations low. Nevertheless, for all its sins it is still quite addictive and undeniably fun, at least in the right conditions. It's easy to see how it has amassed a fanbase and warranted a port to the Switch.

    Dead by Daylight is a bit like those horror films from the 80s of the B, C, or maybe Z series: there is no shortage of flaws and they are obvious, yet its undoubted charm and some excellent results have allowed it to break through the heart of many fans, despite everything.
