Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical horror game where 1 killer takes on 4 survivors in various different maps. Survivors objective is to repair 5 generators out of 7 generators randomly placed in the map. After 5 generators have been fixed survivors have to open at least 1 of 2 doors and escape the killer. Killer's objective is to prevent survivors from escaping. Killers can sacrifice survivors for the spider looking entity. But killers are also able to kill survivors or let them bleed out on the floor but this gets the killer lesser points. Survivors can save each other off the hooks. Survivors can be hooked twice and third time kills them permanently. Survivors also have pallets and windows to gain distance to the killer.

There is plenty of different perks in the game which make killers and survivors stronger. From survivor being able to destroy sacrifice hooks to killer being able to one hit down survivors instead of the normal 2 hit down. Survivors also have different items. Flashlights, med-kits, keys, toolboxes and maps. Survivors can use add-ons on the items to make the items stronger. Killers also have add-ons to make their ability stronger or even change it to something quite different.

There is currently 13 playable survivors in the game. Each survivor has it's unique perks that can be used with other survivors after reaching certain levels and obtaining the perks. Survivors don't differ from each other by anything else than by how they look. You can obtain all unique perks to one survivor. There are some recognizable survivors from horror movies like Laurie Strode, David Tapp and Quentin Smith.

There is 12 playable killers in the game who have different abilities compared to each other. Killers also have unique perks that can be obtained to other killers. There is some unique killers to the game like Evan MacMillan (Trapper),Philip Ojomo (Wraith).But there is also classic killers from classic horror movies like Michael Myers, Leatherface, Amanda Young and Freddy Krueger.

This game includes a lots of DLCs called "Chapters". Some DLCs can be bought using in-game currency but Licensed DLCs have to be bought using real money. Even if you haven't bought specific DLC you can still play in it's map and face against the DLC killers.

The game has many balance problems. Developers are active and face a lots of criticism. The game divides into two kind of people. Survivor mains and Killer mains. Survivor mains are the bigger amount of the whole player amount. Killer players feel like the killers are unpowered because they can in worst case chase one specific survivor for the whole game and finish the game with 0 kills and 4 survivors escaped. Survivor mains criticize the developers strongly when the survivors face any kind of nerfs.

If you buy this game expect frustration when nothing goes well and expect some crazy evil laugh when you catch that one survivor you hate.
