This game is a lot of fun! It also offers tons of replay value due to constant dlc and more. Trust me I've invested about 300 hours in this game in about 6 months and am still having fun! It's also a very deep game. It is easy to learn but hard to master!

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Updated Review (09/30/20):

Wow, this game is still relevant in 2020? That's awesome and well-deserved!

Now, I love this game... but I gotta be objective here. Dead by Daylight is not a perfect game. It is the epitome of a game's objective quality not being representative of how much you enjoy it.

3 years later, here I am still playing the game actively and having fun. While I don't play it anywhere as much as I did that summer in 2017. I do still enjoy the game. Honestly, the relative lack of playtime since 2017 is mainly due to two factors: 1. I didn't play DBD due to performance issues the entirety of 2018 and most of 2019 and 2. I play so many games now that I don't have a need to play ONLY DBD EVERY DAY FOR 8 HOURS STRAIGHT DURING THE SUMMER. Well, let's get into the pros and cons of the game shall we?

Pros:

-Gameplay you won't fins in many other places
-Iconic Killers within the cast such as Michael Myers, Ghostface, Freddy Kreuger, Pyramidhead, etc
-Interesting abilities and powers for each killer (although some have begun to feel like they are just combining old things together.)
-Survive with friends is fun... well, with friends!
-Fairly easy to learn the base mechanics
-Fun to play Killer
-Devs seem to care deeply for the game
-Game is regualrly updated with DLC and free updates (for example a visual rehaul update starting to roll out)
-the bloodweb progression system is very interesting although too grindy

Cons:

-Devs are made fun of regularly within the community because they don't always come across as particularly adept at game development with their decision-making and the amount of bugs within the game.
-Game looks like a potato in comparison to many other games (even with the recent visual updates)
-Not particularly well-optimized for PC
-The ranking system is useless
-To mirror a pro earlier: the bloodweb progression system is too grindy although very interesting

Updated Overall Rating: 7.5/10 (The game has not gotten worse, I just learned what 8.5 games are like after many years and many more games after the initial review)
