    Look. I bought new nightmare edition. Takes forever to update. Then even longer to find a room. Mine didn't come with everything like I was told.. You either a spend out the ass for each character or spend countless hours playing. I'm getting my 40 dollars back. I got stiffed

    Um jogo mal feito e enjoativo. Tem apenas um modo, que por consequência, você enjoa muito fácil. Os cenários não tem muito capricho, e a movimentação é bem robótica.
    Muitas coisas no jogo não tem sentido, e não passam de tentativas de balancear o jogo pro lado dos sobreviventes, onde o assassino tem uma arma letal, mas não pode matar ninguém com ela.

    Dead by Daylight is terrific fun with a group of friends. The game has considerably improved after several updates including cross-play. Its premise is simple: four players must turn on 5 generators to activate an escape door while a killer stalks them. Matches can be intense with both sides having their own strengths and weaknesses.

Its premise is simple: four players must turn on 5 generators to activate an escape door while a killer stalks them. Matches can be intense with both sides having their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, the killer is more powerful than survivors, but has limited sight due to a first-person view. It might not seem well-balanced at first. However, a good team versus an experienced killer results in lots of strategic gameplay. One of the coolest features is the inclusion of several popular horror icons from movies and video games. I also like the original monstrosities created specifically for this title. While the gameplay is basic, there are plenty of elements that factor in each match. In addition, DBD functions as a "Games as a Service" with a season progression complete with tons of in-game challenges and unlockables. Fans of Friday the 13th and Rainbow Six Siege will love this game. I would rate it with a 7.7 out of 10. Expand

    i wish this game was better my problems with the game right now are the graphics on console and maybe pc idk but the game can look horrible sometimes another issue is the servers this game would benefit from dedicated servers and the dlc is awful.

    Dead by daylight got a lot of patches that fixed a lot of the issues. Now it runs on 60 fps and everything works quite well!

    Fun love letter to slasher films. The menu is really glitchy and annoying to use and i wish there was overall more content but i loved the licenses they got for the game and i really liked the gameplay mechanics. My main problem with the game though is the lack of content and the whole 'game' just feels like one really good multiplayer mode.

    Very pressuring and fun when getting chased down by a killer and the best feeling comes from escaping them. Turning on generators is fun at first but is quite repetitive especially because is is the main way to escape the map. The maps in general is quite well designed.

The killers play very differently and makes every game quite different. The scariest and most annoying killer is either the hag or the pig (as the pig can stealth without any music).

    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.

    I do acknowledge the complaints from critics about the killer being overpowered compared to the survivors, but personally, I found it made the game more true to the horror genre. As a survivor, winning should feel next to impossible, and the challenge makes escaping all the more satisfying. Overall, this is a solid horror-themed survival game with the promise of good fun. Should they fix the servers and tweak some of the less successful elements, it could even be great!

    Dead by Daylight has the potential to become a cult classic among asymmetric games. Everything is finely balanced and the way that all of the random elements can alter a match adds an intriguing level of depth to the title. The chase, from the standpoint of both Killer and Survivor, is an intense, adrenaline filled, and nail-biting affair. This could be an ideal title to drop in and out of while grinding through the achievements and leveling up characters, but that concept of drop-in game reveals the achilles heel of the title: the waiting time to play. As a survivor, it seems to take numerous attempts to find a server and you have to be patient. With a few more tweaks, there is a good multiplayer survival horror title here for horror fans.
