Dead by Daylight Reviews

One of my most played games so i kind of wanted to review it. Many who play it says it's got a very toxic fanbase etc.. But after playing League SO MUCH lately this game pales in comparision imao and getting back into this game after feels like a nice warm vacation. It's definitely hard to get into when you are new but you'll get the hang of it just like with most games. I say this but at 500 hours i still royally suck and sort of run around like a headless chicken. But still the mechanics are very simple though and for every time you play you learn more, get more map awareness and it just becomes muscle memory at some point and you sort of learn to do some stuff automatic. If you have played Texas Chainsaw Massacre then this game is so much more simple to get into. The tricky part is that there are a lot of perks/items to remember and recognice And again about the community. I feel like MOST are actually pretty understandable if you are new but just remember camping/slugging is very frowned upon so if you are new try to avoid doing this. It's basically being a bad sport. I did this a lot starting out and i got so confused by the angry end game messages which usually were in russian (:

Doesn't matter if I play killer or survivor, every game feels like I'm being bullied. I feel like the amount of basic knowledge you need to play the game as well as the skill gap between a casual player like me and experts with 1000+ hours of playtime is too overwhelming. No matter how often I tried to get into this game, I rarely managed to have fun. The most fun I had was when playing a custom match with four friends and even then I got fucking tunneled.

I really enjoyed playing this game, but... The devs constantly kill the fun in the game. Survivors can still give up on the hook. "Burden" is a perk for some reason, not a game mechanic. So you have to use it in your games, like all the anti-tunnel perks, to not tilt for obvious reasons. So you can't play with other perks because there are only 4 perk slots. So there is no argument that they are adding all this to the game to fix this. No. You have to sacrifice your fun in perks to have quality of life in the game. The devs look at the numbers and don't really listen to the people who are actually playing their game. So they think solo queue is okay. But in reality it is a PAIN. This is why people stop playing your game. Because there is almost nothing you can fix to make it balanced and FUN. Who cares what new perks you bring if all that matters is gens (the main goal of the game) and chases. You need to design your game around BUILDS. So it will be fun to theory craft in the game. But you can't really think about builds because your game designer doesn't play the game! And if players find interesting and fun builds - you nerf them! That's why you kill the fun! For example: I found a build with dh-saboteur-mom-breakout. It was so fun to run under the hook and not get hit by the killer, and then you had 0.5 seconds to break the hook and use dh. Then I made a guide on your forum, and a month or two later you nerfed the animations, and then dh, so it became impossible! And that's just one example! Do something about it! Jesus

The Game Balance are getting very bad and the map are getting worst

I like the lore in this game and that you can play as various killers from different horror movies. I DO NOT LIKE THAT the skins and other dlc like levels need to be purchased. I have an addictive personality and I end up spending too much money and time on these things. There are a few toxic players you will run into just don't read the chat for your sanity.

Really one of my favourite game always love the spirit of the game except bugs still not fixed in the game and the facecamp/ tunnel killer. You can't find a game with this gameplay ( 2v4) and 1 person view killer As a big fan of horror movies, i also love the collab with franchises and also as a Metalhead i also like the collaboration with Metal band ( Iron Maiden) i wish there were more. I really like the events <3 I love this game and this community. <3

This game is a true love-hate relationship... Half the community is hella toxic, the other half is some of the nicest and coolest people ever. Its a bit pay-to-win, but still a fun game generally.

at the end of the day whenever i boot off this game in a blind rage, i always come back. perhaps it's love, perhaps it's unrestrained addiction. perhaps it's the vast amounts of money i've spent into the shitty fucking outfits and the maybe 7 good ones. maybe it's the 3 really good rounds out of 72. maybe it's the 9 and 11 hour play sessions with 12 different people. maybe it's the 1,142 hours i've plugged into this. maybe i want this. maybe i don't. whatever it is, it's a real connection. like a father and a son you kind of don't like. but, like the man you are, you have to deal with it. pick it up from soccer practice, go to applebee's after its entire team just got wiped the fuck out. there's something here. i'm not quite sure what it is, though.

Playing Dead by Daylight feels like scratching your balls with sandpaper. At first, it’s like, “Yeah, I can handle this, maybe it’s not so bad.” But the longer you do it, the more you realize you're sinking deeper into hell of pure pain and regret. Just when you think it can’t get worse, the killer shows up, and suddenly, you’re the one being scratched your balls to the maximum except it’s with a chainsaw, a hook, or some other twisted, sadistic invention that only an insane person could come up with. It’s basically a game where you spend 90% of your time running for your life, only to get caught and sacrificed like a dumb animal questioning your entire existence? so if you hate your life, enjoy a little more suffering, and want to spend your nights in a constant state of depression, pain and regret, this game is your own personal therapist. 10/10 game

Half the time you play this game you'll be slugged out and humped, the other half you'll be spending blood points because they don't have a way to quick spend them after 8.5 years. Its a horrible game but its as addictive as crack cocaine. Its like that ex that treats you badly but you go back and hope they've changed. They haven't. They're somehow worse, but you forgive them every time because you don't love yourself enough to know when to quit. 1/10 game, would recommend
