Dead by Daylight is a very fun game, but the current version of the game is too broken for me to recommend it to any of you.

Dead By Daylight is a survival game where the main goal of the game is to turn on five generators and open an exit game all while one of three possible killers try to sacrifice you to the entity.

Each map is also randomly generated which helps build tension in almost every match. Some of the structures are all the same, but they are placed differently every match. Once you hear the heartbeat and give into a chase your heart will start pumping fast.

There's also the thrill of the kill as you can play as one of three killers. The Wraith is a killer which has the ability where you can mask your heartbeat and turn invisible, but while you're invisible you can't attack anyone. The Trapper which has traps he can use to trap survivors with well placed beartraps and the The Hillbilly which has a chainsaw which gives him an infinite sprint. All killers have strengths and weaknesses and it boils down to your preference.

Now I love this game and I think it's a really fun experience, but it has too many issues to get a positive rating from me.

First of all this games community is absolute trash. It's filled with salty people, who quit as soon as they are dead and killers who aren't able to kill anyone in the match. If a killer leaves the match before you escape then you're gonna derank which is absolute garbage.

The matchmaking is also terrible. It takes forever to get into a game and is even worse for Survive With Friends, it takes around 15 minutes (sometimes even more) to get into a single game, which is absurd since most games last the exact amount of time.

The game also has bugs like character models glitching, items disappearing before the match starts and many more to list here.

Overall Dead By Daylight is an incredibly fun game, but it's too buggy right now for a positive rating. If it was more stable I would say it's definitely worth it, but as of now, wait for a lot of fixes.

Pros:
+ Terrifying and intense
+ Fun gameplay for both survivors and killers

Cons:
- BUGS,BUGS,BUGS,BUGS
- The abandoned survivor/killer system is broken

Final Rating
6/10

Also

6/10 is a D so that's still a pass in my book.

(Though I don't believe in that rating in the slightest)

Agree with Kindred, the game has come a long way since it's release and all these negative reviews are out of date, And if they are up to date they talk about out of date problems that are, hence, outdated or even worse mis-inform the people they claim to inform by exaggerating the problems making the game seem worse than it is. Reviewers need to start editing them, and People considering the game need to take that into account. Buy this game! :D

Since this review, the Dev's of the game have been working their hardest to fix up the game for us. While the game might not be perfect, alot of the issues you talked about here have been fixed! Match making works fine, and there aren't many bugs to worry about! :) Just grab some friends, Remove all salt from your system, and have a blast playing this amazing game~! :)

The maps aren't randomly generated.

@Whimsicles That's your opinion the Play with Your friends mode is absolute garbage and if there wasn't Survive with Friends I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.
