Unique and original concept with some ever increasingly bad flaws

Pros
-best co-op action in a game
-endless fun
-randomized level designs

Cons
-camping killers can ruin the experience
-teammates can farm of you while leaving you stranded or to die
-no dedicated servers (host can willingly lag everyone else in the game)

Dead by daylight has the most original concept for a game I have played in an extremely long time. You are a team of four survivors playing in 3rd person camera angle. You do not have any weapons and must work together in randomized level designs to activate 5 generators followed by unlocking the exit gate. You are also able to access an escape hatch if you have gotten 3/5 generators or are the last survivor remaining. While doing these task you must avoid the killer (1st person camera angle) who is attemping to hook you 1-3 times depending on if your teammates are able to save you (maximum of twice, dead on the 3rd hook). Each character (survivor and killer) has their own unique perks and become teachable amongst all the survivors.

The problem with the game is killers are able to camp a hooked survivor and purposely lag the game for the other players, thus ruining the experience. Along with this the game has a bunch of bugs and glitches. Ever since the latest patch they have clearly shown favor in introducing cosmetics via micro transactions and less priority towards balancing the stability of the game. A new bug has emerged that will sometimes make your character unable to move (sometimes for the whole match) along with killers being able to hit you through a pallet it claims you stunned them with. One of the bigger issues I hate is if the killer (host) disconnects before the match even loads, your offerings will be consumed regardless of the match not even starting. In some instances this can also result in you loosing rank progress (PIP) without any control.

Conclusion: The game is extremely fun and truly shines if you have a full team of friends to play and communicate with. Just be willing to except the occasional camping killer and glitches every so often. I would recommend buying the game but perhaps holding off on the DLC and other microtransactions (auric cells) until the devs put some of this money they made into fixing the stability of the game.
