Beautiful gameplay and beautiful graphics but I wish there was a story campaign for it. This Brings another new type of horror into video games.
This game is great, but I think they should add a game mode where there's 4 killers and 16 survivors, with one gigantic map and 12 generators or so. That'd be a lot of fun.
Awesome game. Does not get boring. Except when the killers are camping. :) Also very nice to play with friends. They also keep updating with new maps and characters. You also get specials coins to buy them. So you don't necessarily need to spend money on it.
Dead By Daylight is an asymmetrical horror game that allows you to either play as one of four survivors working to repair generators to escape a place of nightmares, or as the killer hunting down those survivors.
The game overall is very enjoyable when playing as both a survivor and a killer. There are a good variety of unique characters, especially when it comes to killers, and just as much variety when it comes to locations and perks each character can use.
However, the game is not very new player friendly. The matchmaking system, like with most PvPs, has its flaws and can lead new players to face off against experienced players, and this is where the game's main problems shine. As a new player, each survivor starts off only able to use a very limited number of perks at their weakest state, the same goes for killers, making it especially more difficult for new players to be on the same play field as veteran players. On top of that, progression is extremely slow, and much of the game's content is stuck behind pay-walls - most survivors and killers, and thus their perks are locked unless you purchase them individually, this also applies to cosmetics for all characters.
Perhaps the least enjoyable part of the game is its repetitive nature. Every game is the same, the killer hunting down four survivors and the four survivors working together to get generators completed so they can escape. There is little variation in the gameplay which can quickly bore players.
The best part of the game is how well it recreates the atmosphere of the Horror genre. The locations, killers, and use of sound and lighting, help create a spine-chilling atmosphere that makes you feel like you're apart of a Horror film. The game has also been working more to create intriguing lore for each of their characters, but this is more of an optional experience that requires a lot of effort from the player's end to be able to discover. And on the other side, playing as a killer is really fun, at least until the toxic playerbase comes to play.
Unfortunately, like most PvPs, people simply can't enjoy this game without sending you mockery and threats, especially if you're a minority.

I bought this for my Nintendo switch, the only grievance I have is the graphics. I was hoping for better graphics on this game since several other switch games have excellent graphics. The game runs beautiful as long as you have a sturdy internet access. Lastly I hope Nintendo and the devs will help us out with graphics updates in the future.
