    This game has a good number of maps, killers, survivors and perks and the customization is fairly good, but the general gameplay is very repetitive. I would not recommend this game to someone unless they are a fairly hard core horror fan and even then I think your time would be better spent elsewhere.

    I never would have thought out of every game, that this would be the one to awaken something inside of me. I know this supposed to be a horror game, but it would do much better if it was a different genre of game if you know what I mean.

    I mean have you seen these killers??? WOWZA I would let them tear me up in a heartbeat

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).

    The only fun thing to do in this game is disconnect because then you get a 48-hour penalty. That's more than enough time to convince you to uninstall, go outside, and breathe in the permadeath of society.

I enjoyed it for about an hour but I got randomly disconnected from the servers and got a temporary ban for 5 minutes. Thought nothing of it and it happened again and on the 3rd time it was for 15 minutes. I did some looking online and found that some people have been banned for up to 48 hours because of this issue. My internet is over 100 mbps and I have little to no issues with other online games, so I assume this is an issue with their servers. I understand why people should got banned for quitting intentionally but why should I get punished for what isn't even my fault. I love the game but why get my hopes up for playing it in the future if I'm just going to get temporary bans all the time.… Expand

    The game would be rated better if Behavior fixed the game. Made it less reliate on scores, have a.seperate mode for casual vs rank (for the try-hards). Or create a mode to face against different difficulties of bots to get a break away from the frequent toxic players that currently exist in game. Till that time comes, this game deserves nothing better than a 0 rank.

    A painfully bad idea, poorly executed and then delivered as quite possibly one of the worst games ever made.

    Who does this game actually appeal to? Do their carers know they're wasting their time with it?

    New players will feel outranked, in a true pay-to-win fashion, unless you open you wallet, the fun in not for you.

    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. 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

    Я бы очень хотел рекомендовать эту игру всем, любить её и играть бесконечно долго, но увы, я этого делать больше не могу. Причина для этого довольно проста и банальна - в игре столько неправильных и сломанных вещей, что играть в неё просто невозможно и банально больно.

Причина для этого довольно проста и банальна - в игре столько неправильных и сломанных вещей, что играть в неё просто невозможно и банально больно.

    Начнём с малого - в игре всё еще нет русской локализации. И это особенно тупо, учитывая что на ПК она есть, и очень даже неплохая. Пожалуйста, расскажите мне, как так получается, что игре не лень при обновлении перекачивать ВСЕ гигабайты игры вместе с копеечной обновой, но никто не догадался всунуть текстовый файл с ру-переводом? Это верх неуважения - продавать игру на территории стран СНГ без локи, учитывая, что ты один из крупнейших мультиплеерных проектов, мне страшно представить, сколько они потеряли заработка на консолях из-за этого вот.

    И да, с уродскими обновами проблем еще больше - игра обрастает огромным количеством гигов, за эти 3 года что я игра, они с 25 гиговой превратилась в 46 гиговую, а разрабы только добавили пару манов, сурвов и парочку карт, ну и графически их улучшили, но это говорит только об очень криворукой отпимизации.

    Играть можно за выживших и за маньяка. Докладываю, в этой игре сломан баланс и за первых, и за второго. Хотите играть за выживших соло, без собранной опытной команды трёх других друзей? Приготовтесь страдать, ибо кидать вам будут аутистов, не умеющих или нежелающих играть. Более того, большая часть перков за выживших сломана, играют все максимум с 5-10 штуками из около сотни, так что выриативность тоже идёт лесом.

    Но я играю в основном за манов, а там всё максимально плохо. Манов куча, но по настоящему сильных всего -3-4. Остальные должны играть только с набором одних перков (другие банально не работают даже в билдах при нынешних метах) , с топовыми аддонами которые не всегда есть , и то есть шанс что вы проиграете. Играете на начальных уровнях престижа - победа сама идёт в руки, как бы вы не играли. Доходите до 10 ранга из 20 - добро пожаловать в Ад. Теперь выжившие не дадут вам покоя, унижать будут вас, а не вы их. Что бы показывать хороший результат, вы должны потеть и страдать, но даже если вы убьете каким-то чудом троих или четверых, приготовьтесь к тому, что ваше седалище воспламенится - ибо вам дадут или минус каплю или 0, ибо игра по идиотскому считает эмблемы эффективности.
    Мой совет - не играть и не покупать эту игру ни в коем случае. Игра должны быть или интересной, или приносить фан. А она приносит лишь боль, разочарование и нечестные челенджи, выполнив которые, вы не получите ровным счётом ничего.    … Expand

    Le doy un 2 porque al menos el juego arranca y funciona, como una basura respecto a la versión de PC (Que tampoco es que se salve) pero al menos 7 de cada 10 partidas las puedes jugar, las otras 3 son caidas, crasheos o bugs del juego.

    Si eres nuevo jugador, prepárate para ir a Youtube o a la clásica plataforma de streaming para poder aprender a jugar, porque el tutorial que ofrece el propio juego es, por llamarlo de alguna manera, escaso y pobre. Los jugadores se van a encontrar perdidos, sobre todo jugando como superviviente y tendrán que usar ese método o aprender a base de ser aplastados por el enemigo durante decenas de horas, es un juego muy muy poco amigable con los nuevos jugadores, motivo por el que supongo que tiene tan bajas notas y tan pocos usuarios nuevos.

    Por otra parte, si consigues quedarte porque te resulta una experiencia divertida, prepárate para pasarte un mínimo de 35-50 horas grindeando simplemente para poder tener una build meta con la que poder durar más de 2 minutos en la partida siendo superviviente, o para que no se te escapen todos los supervivientes si decides ser Asesino. Es indecente el nivel de grindeo que exige el juego para poder jugar en condiciones, otro de los motivos por los que seguramente no tenga apenas jugadores.

    A esto anteriormente dicho, hay que sumarle el factor de que si decides ser asesino, todas las build meta llevan habilidades de personajes que son de pago, hay que gastarse como poco 15 euros en los 3 personajes necesarios para poder armar un asesino en condiciones, sumado a la necesidad de subirlos de nivel a los 3 (Aproximadamente 1.3 millones de puntos, a una media de 30.000 por una muy buena partida) más subir al personaje que te guste para que aprenda esta build... es un pozo de horas que apenas nadie va a aguantar.

    ¿Por qué no? Porque sin esa build meta los asesinos simplemente son un meme, no tienen ningún poder para controlar a los supervivientes, excepto en rangos extremadamente bajos, en los que el juego está totalmente desbalanceado a favor de los asesinos dado que los Supervivientes entran sin ningún tipo o muy pocos conocimientos y los matan muy fácil y muy deprisa. Pero no es lo mismo según avanzas de rango, empiezas en el 20, pero una vez llegues al 14-13 ya te harán Match con gente de niveles 8 e incluso menos.

    Y llegamos a la parte más importante, si el jugador es capaz de sobreponerse de todo lo anterior, superar el grindeo, la fase inicial de adaptación y armar una build competente en ambos bandos..... nos queda hablar de la comunidad y la extrema toxicidad que existe en DBD.

    Es la peor comunidad que he tenido la mala suerte de conocer, peor incluso que la de league of legends. Todo son Ego players que se desconectan a la mínima, insultos constantes por mensajes de chat o por privados de la consola, compañeros que trollean y se alían con el asesino para poder escapar y hacer 5.000 puntos más... patética esta comunidad, es una vergüenza.

    * Si eres superviviente -> El asesino va a usar técnicas muy tóxicas consistentes en Tunneling y Camping, va a escoger a un superviviente al azar y lo va a perseguir hasta tumbarlo al suelo, después lo va a colgar en un gancho y no va a moverse de ahí, incluso siendo esto perjudicial para ellos porque pierden puntos, prefieren ser así de tóxicos porque vienen enfadados de otra partida anterior.

    * Si eres Asesino -> Te van a tocar Premades de 2-3-4 jugadores que van a hacerte la vida imposible,se van a reir de ti si eres novato, van a trollearte, van a hacerte un movimiento que se llama Teabag que consiste en agacharse y levantarse constantemente a modo de burla, van a tenerte persiguiéndolos muchísimo tiempo mientras los demás rushean la partida, vas a ser el meme del juego, la única manera viable de divertirse con este tipo de tóxicos es conseguir tirar a uno y ser igual que ellos, campear su gancho hasta que se desconecte, porque su ego le va a impedir aceptar que un noob le haya podido fastidiar su partida.

    Esto es el resumen de la experiencia de un jugador tras 97 horas de juego, suficientes para poder puntuar de manera justa el juego, que desgraciadamente suspende.

    Podría haberle puesto la nota y decir "Es una basura no lo jueguen" pero creo que explicando todo, evitaré que otros jugadores experimenten lo frustrante y tóxico que es este juego y su comunidad.

    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.
