    Игра скатила. За маньяка нельзя играть из-за бесконечных нерфов и апо выживших. За выживших не интересно играть из-за немощности убийцы

    I played this game for 4 years straight since day one. Had to take breaks off and on until i finally quit due to the game getting very stale.

    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.

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

    Looked forward to playing this game for over a year and pre ordered for Xbox One.

Numerous glitches in the game play itself, i.e. traps being under the ground and thus invisible to see, or pallets standing upright in the centre of a gap when they should be by the side waiting to be thrown down, the problem with that glitch is you can throw the pallet down but it still appears standing upright in the centre and you cannot tell when approaching whether or not it has already been thrown down and if there is a need to throw the pallet down or slide over it that need likely means you are being chased hence game play interference in a needless and frustrating way. The list of different glitches i have experienced reached low double figures - 10 or 11 if I remember correctly. Not good enough - but it got worse.

    Now I cannot access the game at all and this inability to access the game, so far at time of writing, has lasted 8 consecutive days. When I attempt to enter the game itself, a 'Save Game Error' appears asking me to contact Behaviour Interactive via an email address detailed in the error message. I have done so numerous times. The first time I received a response within 1 hour and 20 minutes giving me guidance to solve the problem if owning the game on PC. I had detailed specifically to them I was on Xbox One. I replied. The next response took hours and responses beyond that took days. I have requested a refund due to the sale of a faulty product. Behaviour Interactive staff seem to think their company policy overrides law and have stated no refunds are possible. They have sold a faulty product to the point where beyond simply the glitches I now cannot even enter the game and have not been able to for over a week. I have asked Behaviour Interactive numerous questions and have received either no response or generalised responses. This is a novice operation of a company and I will never buy a game made by them again nor would I advise anyone to. I have never experienced anything anywhere near as bad as this on any game on any platform previously. They have sold over 2 million copies of this game but want to keep the revenue and hope customers will be ignorant and accept it. I have had less than one month to use this game before prevention of access. I will look at dealing with them in a court. They've made a lot of money in total from a game badly made and I didn't pay for the stress of conversing with their team or for being able to access the game for such a minimal amount of time.

    Dead by daylight is an amazing game in isolation but it's numerous technical issues keep the game from reaching the true heights it deserves. Despite this the core gameplay loop is still deliciously entertaining and is something I find myself frequently revisiting.

    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.

    Having played both Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th I thought I would write a review to help people decide if they should get it.

The great thing about this game is that there are different killers with different perks and the people trying to escape are pretty unique. The downside is that every match plays out the same. You try to repair the generators or find the secret door (if you find the key) while being hunted by the killer. Unfortunately you have no way of fighting back and once you get found, and are in the monster's grasp, all you can do is try to wriggle free before getting put up on a hook. This game has less bugs being that it was released on pc over a year ago, but I don't find it nearly as immersive as Friday the 13th. I think I would enjoy it more if the maps were bigger and the generators didn't take so dang long to fix. That being said, it is still a fun game and is different from a lot of the multiplayer games out there. Although I have it on the pc I am thinking about getting it for Xbox one too!… Expand

    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

    It can be laggy at times, mostly due to it not being dedicated servers. However it doesn't stop me from having a blast playing this game. Even though its the same objective every game for both survivor and killer, there are so many perks that you have endless options of playing differently every game. Its been out 2 years (I played on PC as well) and I still play it to this day.

    The servers issues have improved greatly since the dedicated servers were implemented.
    Gameplay is barely stale because of the number of variations, games can differ my map(and the randomly generated placement of things on said map), Perks used by survivors and killers, The chosen killer, Survivor items & killer add-ons to their abilites.

    Every killer needs to be played differently, and played differently against, some are stronger than others. Their powers feel very different to use, some are faster than others, some are taller than others, Some have unique theme songs, they each have their own 3 unique perks.

    As a survivor teamwork is your objective(& repairing generators), Some perks will help you and some will help your teammates. Sometimes for teammates you'll get incompetent potatoes, other times you'll get a master. Your team can varey from bold to stupid

    I feel like this game is so bad for so many reasons. First off, the killer camps your body when you’re on the hook so your other teammates can’t rescue you. Secondly, there’s no way to stop or stun the killer. The flashlight does not work at all it’s an absolute joke. You should be able to set traps or throw rocks or something else a lot better than shining a useless flashlight. Thirdly,I feel like this game is so bad for so many reasons.

    Trash game, trash community. Whiney man child killers crying at the devs to nerf everything that makes the game challenging to them and the devs do it. This game is set on easy mode for killers and still they cry and still the devs listen. If your trash at competitive games, just play killer. Your handed wins

    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.
