   Is Dead by Daylight perfect? By all means, no. Is it fun? F*** YES!
   
   This game isn't going to be for everyone. Odds are you will be aIs Dead by Daylight perfect? By all means, no. Is it fun? F*** YES!
   
   This game isn't going to be for everyone. Odds are you will be a helpless survivor. Yes, you will be helpless. The killer cannot die. Once again, the killer cannot die. When you first start playing, you will die more than you will survivor. Survivors are suppose to be helpless against a Killer. As a survivor you don't play to win games, you play to survive them. As the Killer you have one objective. That objective is to kill. That's the game. if you don't like the concept, than Dead by Daylight is not for you. Once you become good enough and an high enough level with good perks, as a survivor you eventually will learn how to out smart the killer. Then your odds of surviving will continue to increase. I like to compare this game to a slasher flick. One killer vs Four survivors. Can you out smart the killer and escape?
   
   Now the game is not perfect. There are some bugs. Ex: Messy movement when the killer attempts to pick up a survivor. (nothing game breaking). All Killers are not the same. Some are stronger than others. (Balancing). Games have no timers. Meaning, games can last forever. I have lasted in a match for 42 minutes. Games typically last 12-15 minutes :). Lastly, if you choose to play as the killer, you will be hosting the game. To fill up your game it can take upwards of 10-15 minutes. The reason for this is because everyone wants to be the killer. Plus side, if you decide to be the survivor you will never have an issue finding a game.
   
   The game is truly a good time. For $20 I recommend picking it up.… Expand

   This game got pulled from Beta way too early and is still littered with game breaking bugs that turn off a lot of new players. This wasThis game got pulled from Beta way too early and is still littered with game breaking bugs that turn off a lot of new players. This was obviously rushed to market by Starbreeze as a cash grab (remember that Payday 2 micro-transaction fiasco? Same studio...). The matchmaking system is completely broken and the ranking system seems to provide no real purpose because of it.
   Example. You just started and you're rank 20 survivor, you're really going to like when the terrible matchmaking system puts your group up against a rank 10 or even a rank 1 killer...that is, after you've spent 5 minutes just trying to find a match.
   Now that you're in the game, you get to sneak around fixing generators and evading capture. But surprise! The match is HOSTED BY THE KILLER! Hope he has a good internet connection, because if he doesn't and you didn't type a bunch of stuff in chat to test his ping (that's the only way to do it so far, as a latency meter or even minimum requirements are not yet implemented to let you know that you can barely maintain a solid connection to the host who must be using some sort of Pre-Y2K internet provider.
   If you got in a game and the host has good ping, you are going to be in for a good time....unless you get stuck on one of the several terrain glitches which will make it impossible to move and out in the open to get helplessly murdered. If the killer is the Hillbilly, pray that he doesn't have his chain add-on which makes it impossible for others to heal you.
   Barring that, you just have to hope that you can stay alive long enough to either escape or be the last one left and get out through a hatch in the ground.
   You got out...good job, but you didn't do enough to get a pip to rank up and unfortunately escaping doesn't always equal a win. Better luck next time!
   
   Just to show that it's not all survivor based bugs, lets talk about being the killer. Not quite as bad a situation with the matchmaking. You start up a lobby and wait for people to join....what's this?! You're rank 20 and there's a rank 17 survivor (because Killers can see the survivors ranks and levels before starting a match), now your going to have to leave close the lobby and try to find a better group.
   Ok, all rank 20 survivors and nobody over level 10, this is going to be easy! Start game....things are going well so far, you've found some survivors fixing a generator and you've got one of them on the run. Looks like we're headed into some broken down silo...and he's through the window.
   
   Still chasing this guy around this broken down silo and everyone else has left the game and he just escaped through the hatch that always spawns right next to the silo. RAGE QUIT!
   Check out the discussion boards, because this can't be how the game is meant to be played....looks like this is an "infinite" and was even confirmed by the devs as an exploit.....but, if it's an exploit, why is it still in the game????
   
   There are a lot of problems with this game, but in all honestly, it is still a lot of fun to play. Before purchasing, check out the discussion forums on Steam to see for yourself the laundry list of things that are wrong. If you're not a patient person, you're not going to be happy with this purchase in its current state. If you have the patience and time to put into the game, eventually you will learn the maps and level up enough to start really enjoying the game for what it is....a good way to make people rage quit and an addictingly fun time!
   
   Currently, the best way to enjoy this game is by watching AngryPug play it on twitch....it's a riot to watch (dewdewdew!)… Expand

   Don't get me wrong. With over 2,000 hours, I've definitely gotten my money's worth from this game. But it has overstayed its welcome.

   For five years, the developers have continued to add characters, mechanics, and maps to this franchise which is admirable. Unfortunately, there are too many ingredients in this potluck. One side of this asymmetric game has a much smaller plate than the other, and it shows. Killers can only take 4 of the dozens of perks available while survivors can take 16 with bonus items.
   
   When this game began, it was HARD to escape the killer. But now, there are only two outcomes for survivors: You either escape easily with a well equipped team, or die because you were paired with a noob. On the killer's side, you are at the mercy of a poor matchmaking system and the restrictions of archaic game mechanics which haven't changed in your favor. You'll feel like a little kid who is told to play a game of hide & seek and is quickly abandoned.
   
   Up until now, I've unlocked every character, perk, and achievement in the game. I know the mechanics well enough to know that they're broken.
   
   EDIT: This game is addictive like WoW. Compulsive behaviors will creep up on you. Don't try it if you value your time.… Expand

I have played this game for 10 hours and the game is not enjoyable. It is unplayable as a low level character and after 10 hours of play I was negligibly closer to not being a low level character. The game if FAR too biased toward the killer. So much so that I never found the "horror" game horrific or even scary. I was always killed so quickly that I never got emotionally invested in my character. I never felt I had a fair shot at surviving. I am not willing to put 500 hours into a game to make it fun.… Expand
