    Dead by Daylight is probably one of my favorite multiplayer games of recent years. It is a very intense, fun-filled experience. The gameplay is very simple and repetitious but it never gets boring whatsoever. Where Friday the 13th is more of a game of hide and seek, Dead by Daylight is more of a game of tag.

    Having a blast with this. This puts Friday the 13th The Game to shame. More monsters, more gore, more moments of sheer terror....and for $10 less w/no launch day glitches or server issues.

    Очень хорошая игра, постоянно держит каждого игрока в напряжении. Достаточно интуитивная система прокачки, множество навыков, одежды и предметов. Достаточно часто разработчики дарят на все новый и новый контент, начиная от косметики (одежды), и заканчивая DLC с новым выжившим и маньяком. Игра заслуживает вашего внимания!Очень хорошая игра, постоянно держит каждого игрока в напряжении. Достаточно интуитивная система прокачки, множество навыков, одежды и предметов.

    I have no idea why the game has such a bad rating. It’s definitely a great game, and it’s even better when you play eith friends. The fact that they are always adding new content or updating the older one, makes it always feel fresh and never boring.

    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 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

    Overall it's very enjoyable and provides a different experience each match    … Expand

    Muy buen juego con ideas innovadoras, el único problema es que los jugadores pueden abusar de las mecánicas del juego y hacerlo un poco tedioso, pero fuera de eso, es un juego muy entretenido y divertido.

    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.

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

    Un gran juego, adictivo, que te hace quemar mucha adrenalina tanto siendo el asesino como huyendo. Apenas tiene ya fallos, el soporte técnico cuando hay un fallo procura corregirlo lo antes posible.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    The dedicated servers messed up this entire game, connection sucks a killer can swing looking the other way from the survivors body and somehow hit you. Fix the connection the game was fun but all these updates to the game is making them worse.

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

    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.

    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.
