March 2025
Playing Dead by Daylight feels like scratching your balls with sandpaper. At first, it’s like, “Yeah, I can handle this, maybe it’s not so bad.” But the longer you do it, the more you realize you're sinking deeper into hell of pure pain and regret. Just when you think it can’t get worse, the killer shows up, and suddenly, you’re the one being scratched your balls to the maximum except it’s with a chainsaw, a hook, or some other twisted, sadistic invention that only an insane person could come up with. It’s basically a game where you spend 90% of your time running for your life, only to get caught and sacrificed like a dumb animal questioning your entire existence? so if you hate your life, enjoy a little more suffering, and want to spend your nights in a constant state of depression, pain and regret, this game is your own personal therapist. 10/10 game

Is this game worth the money? ---------------------- Gameplay? Yes Replay value? Yes Community? Hell no. ---------------------- This game has a massive playerbase problem on both sides of the spectrum, in 1 corner you've a group of 4 individuals constantly complaining about perks, add-ons, offering brought, hell in most cases even the killer the enemy chooses. And on the other spectrum is a god-complex having maniac trying their damn hardest to be playing the game in many ways it's not meant to be and calling it a ''strategy'' & Countering said playstyle by mentioning ''Should've brought ........ perk'' Like it's clear from the start the way someones gonna be playing. ---------------------------- Entitlement runs in the blood of DBD players and it impacts the game in a negative manner, players be targeting people for the charms, the character they play. ''I tunnel sable mains out because _____ reason'' And on the other spectrum theres ''I DC because screw ______ killer'' ------------------------------------ This is burned into about 90% of the player base, you've people actively going out their way to ensure someone doesn't get an achievement, people blocking exists, generators, doors, pallets. killers holding games hostage, slugging people till everybody bleeds out regardless the playstyle of the survivors, making it their gods given goal to remove someone out the game. ------------------------------------ This is 90% of ur games, the other 10%?? Are the absolute best moments you'll have with friends, drunk by daylight, perk roulette, just any challenge to spice up the game. Funny quirky builds, you name it. Are what makes the 90% acceptable. But it's not the standard for a game this old. --------------------------------------------- Do not even get me started on the optimisation of this game, a decade old bloodweb mechanic that is severly lacking, no adjustable sound options, minimal accessibility options, constant frame stutters, spikes, glitches & game breaking bugs. ---------------------------------------------- That's DBD for you. From someone with a combined playtime of 3k hours.

Don't take the game seriously and the game is actually fun. Buy it on sale, as it often does go on sale, cause there are a ton of DLCs.
