Death Is Not an Escape.

Trapped forever in a realm of eldritch evil where even death is not an escape, four determined Survivors face a bloodthirsty Killer in a vicious game of nerve and wits. Pick a side and step into a world of tension and terror with horror gaming's best asymmetrical multiplayer.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

Key Features

Survive Together… Or Not - Survivors can either cooperate with the others or be selfish. Your chance of survival will vary depending on whether you work together as a team or if you go at it alone. Will you be able to outwit the Killer and escape their Killing Ground?

Where Am I? - Each level is procedurally generated, so you’ll never know what to expect. Random spawn points mean you will never feel safe as the world and its danger change every time you play.

A Feast for Killers - Dead by Daylight draws from all corners of the horror world. As a Killer you can play as anything from a powerful Slasher to terrifying paranormal entities. Familiarize yourself with your Killing Grounds and master each Killer’s unique power to be able to hunt, catch and sacrifice your victims.

Deeper and Deeper - Each Killer and Survivor has their own deep progression system and plenty of unlockables that can be customized to fit your own personal strategy. Experience, skills and understanding of the environment are key to being able to hunt or outwit the Killer.

Real People, Real Fear - The procedural levels and real human reactions to pure horror makes each game session an unexpected scenario. You will never be able to tell how it’s going to turn out. Ambience, music, and chilling environments combine into a terrifying experience. With enough time, you might even discover what’s hiding in the fog.

this game is such a masterpiece. Beside some people are often pretty Toxic but i think there always are people like that. Overall it's a very very good game (imo) and ive played this game for 500 Hours on Console and 170 Hours on Pc and i still play it often. So if you want a fun survival game where you probably will put in some Hours, BUY DEAD BY DAYLIGHT.
  • Cool Killers/Survivors
  • Many fun Perks/Builds to use (for both Killer and Survivor)
  • every Killer/Survivor has their own unique Perks
  • Toxic Community (not always but often)
  • unbalenced Match making skill wise (not always)

The game is fun. You can play co-op with friends as survivors or solo as a killer. There are so many different perk combinations and add-ons and things to help you get through the objectives that it's kind of crazy. I highly recommend this game, because it's fun to me. The graphics aren't exactly top tier but they are definitely playable.

Dead by Daylight is a thrilling and unique multiplayer experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat with its intense asymmetrical gameplay. Whether you’re outsmarting killers as a survivor or hunting down your prey, every match feels unpredictable and exciting. The diverse roster of killers and survivors, each with their own perks, adds a lot of depth and strategy. The constant updates and events keep things exciting and give you lots of reasons to keep coming back. Matchmaking can be a bit frustrating, and it takes some time to really get the hang of things, but honestly, the adrenaline rush of each match makes it all worth it. If you love competitive horror, you’ve got to give this one a shot!
  • Unique asymmetrical gameplay that creates intense and unpredictable matches
  • A variety of killers and survivors, each with distinct abilities and perks
  • Frequent updates and events keep the game fresh and engaging
  • Matchmaking can sometimes be slow or unbalanced
  • Steep learning curve for new players, especially with the meta strategies
  • Toxic behavior from some players can detract from the experience

Bought the game not being aware of the need for Xbox online/game pass. Only after purchasing it saw that 1) it comes with game pass and 2) game pass is the online subscription needed to play it. So basically buying a standalone copy makes no sense.
  • Game is fun (online mode only)
  • Requires Xbox online but comes with game pass. Buying it alone makes not sense :)

I would like to say that this game can be boring and fun at the same time it depends on which killer you get or it depends on ur teammates so here are some Pros and Cons about whatnis good and what is bad in this game!
  • Fun with friends
  • Reasonable prices in game
  • U should buy it here instead of paying 20$ on steam
  • Poor optimization for low end pcs
  • Toxic community
  • Can be boring sometimes
Useful?
most toxic community avoid this game

the base game is 10 € but if you want all dlc to unlock all survivor killer and perk its more than 100 €

dev of this game support racism and transphobia

if all of this don't bother you this game is for you
  • the game starting to be fun after 2000 hours
  • when you play survivor with friend on vocal you can occasionally have fun
  • you will have a lot of time to play other game cause you never want to play this one
  • more than 1000 hours just to lean the basics
  • infinit ridicouls grind to unlock every thing
  • the community (toxic player, cheaters ...)

A review of Dead by Daylight

My friends have been bothering me to give Dead by Daylight a try for a while, eventually selling me on the fun 1v4 asymmetric gameplay. Showing off how cool it is to outsmart people as a killer. I purchased the game and gave it a try. It seemed fun at first but the longer I played the more problems started to show.

Dead by daylight is a mixed bag of a game. On one hand it’s got a fantastic game loop and great sound and character design. On the other hand, the core content gets buried under massive grinding and pay to play barriers, toxic mechanics, and bad matchmaking.

First thing bad to mention is the nonfunctioning matchmaking. When I had first bought and played the game within my first few games I was already getting matched up against players at top rank. It made it almost impossible to learn and very miserable to play. Now being somewhere middle in the ranks (rank 9) I get matched up with bottom tier players and top tier. Almost never with people around my rank. So much about this game would be forgivable if it was fun but matchmaking that does not work at all ensures it’s not. There is not causal mode only ranked.

I’ve played a lot of both roles in the game and somehow both are miserable to play. As a killer you are always at a disadvantage. Survivors get a considerable number of perks and built in tools to stop you from achieving anything. Borderline infinite chase loops, bad objective spacing, overpowered perks, and keys are just some examples. While these may be necessary for balancing it’s just not fun. Imagine spending an entire game controlling and outplaying 4 survivors when one of them just pulls out a key and several of them just get away with almost no counterplay. Ranking is also a nightmare for killers, its easy to derank for performing average and hard to rank up without being perfect. The ranking systems also encourages killers to just make the game longer for up to 9 minutes. If survivors are playing together and have an outside voice chat it becomes almost impossible to win. There are additional perks that give less information than what can be gained from voice chat.

Survivor is another story. Its already not fun having to wait 10-20 minuets to queue up for a game compared to the instant killer queue time, but it gets worse. Killers often target 1-2 people in a game just to ensure they won’t derank. Killers depend on running the same perks to just keep up, making the games feel very similar. Bad matchmaking means new players can get into and just destroy the game. Its better than playing killer in my opinion but it’s not the same fun.

The biggest problem is the grind. Perks are transferable from one character to another for both survivors and killers. This means going through the process of purchasing the character, getting their level high enough, going back to relevel up the character you want the perk on. It takes about 8 hours to max level up character, even longer for survivor as you get less currency for playing them. You could also get lucky and wait for the special shop to have what perks you need. However, its fully random, only rotates once a week, still takes a considerable amount of time to grind for another in game currency and only has two perks at a time. Is about a 1/21 chance each week for a specific killer perk and a 1/30 chance for a specific survivor perk. I’m also not sure but I believe duplicates are possible within the store.

But the bigger problem here is having to purchase these characters with extra money. Some in game characters can be purchased without by grinding the same system needed for the perk store, but it’s a considerable amount of time to get this estimated around a month of gameplay for most people, and it’s not available for every character. 3rd party characters cannot be obtained for free and must be paid for with actually money on top of the price payed for the game. This all means that for a relevant set of perks on a character it can take around 16 - 40 hours and cost $5-$20. It only gets worse the more characters you have as it takes more levels to find the perks you want as they are randomly given to the player each character level and take 3 levels to fully get. I’m a patient gamer but I’m not that patient.

While it could be argued you don’t need optimal perks, the poor matchmaking makes it feel as if you have to be optimized at any rank or risk losing to a team that will be running optimal perks. You can’t play casual if you are playing killer because of the asymmetrical nature of the game. And as a survivor certain perks are needed to prevent getting camped.

Dead by Daylight's asymmetrical gameplay is a fresh and thrilling experience. It's a lot of fun to play as either a survivor with a friend or a killer on your own. However, the game's balancing issues make it unfair for the survivors, especially against certain killers. Despite these flaws, Dead by Daylight is a genuinely enjoyable game that Starbreeze has created.
  • Unique
  • Really fun coop
  • fun to be the scary thing
  • little janky
  • unbalanced at times

I bought this game on another account and i can say that it worked properly and didn't have any errors. I still have the game till this day and it works perfectly. If you look to buy a good game that also has a good price, consider taking a look at Dead by Daylight.

This game is amazing to play with friends, it's obviously better when you're full (5 people) but it's still very fun with 3 or 4 people. I recommend you to play this game, it's a very cool and scary game haha
