Handily, and I mean HANDILY the most incompetent dev team I have ever seen on a video game in my entire life.

This game will lure you in with its cool looking iconic horror characters, get you to drop a ton of money on it and do absolutely nothing to make your experience of playing it remotely fun or worth your time and money.

Game uses a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible bloodpoint system where you get points for doing objectives in matches that you then use to get perks that make your character stronger.

Massive issue with that is that for both killer and survivor there are like 6 perks each over about 100 for each side that are actually worth using and the rest are gimmicks or worthless.

Additionally, those bloodpoints we talked about? Yeah you get about enough in one 10 minute match to get maybe one perk out of the hundreds.

OH I almost forgot, you're not getting the perk, you're getting a nerfed version of the perk. To get the best possible version, you have to get that perk 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TIMES for each perk. So that's about 300 matches to get all the perks all at max level for one single character. For survivor this isn't so bad since every survivor plays the same, but when each killer has a unique power that is very different from each other killer's power and each killer has different perk progress it becomes glaringly obvious this game has probably GTA online levels of grind. Times three. Times ten. I've been playing for about 1,500 hours (none of those hours I will ever get back by the way) and I've gotten 8 characters with all of the perks. There are currently 27 killers in this game. Let that sink in. One thousand. Five hundred hours. For 8 characters to have all of the perks on. I can play trapper all day but if I want to have any of those 6 bearable perks I mentioned on any other killer I have to grind for 300 more matches to get enough stupid bloodpoints to buy each of the 100+ perks 3 times. What a sick joke.

Oh and these mentally challenged devs wont change it. Because, you see, the one brain cell that they all collectively share is smart enough to know that if they remove the ungodly grind NOBODY will play their game because the gameplay is boring and rage inducing.

Let's talk about the gameplay while I still have room in this review. The gameplay for survivor is to sit and hold your mouse button and press spacebar every few seconds. Hardly a game if you ask me. When the killer comes around, you hold W and shift and occasionally press spacebar as well to drop pallets. Oh and then when you finally get caught by the killer, they sit and stare right at you so that whenever a teammate comes to save you they just instantly kill you and the teammate and you die faster. As for killer, you walk around till you find survivors, chase them for a few seconds and hook them. All the while the survivors complete 3 of the 5 gens they need to win. You don't want to be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and camp the survivor you hooked so you walk away and let their teammates have a chance to save them, which they do and then they procede to all use the exact same 4 broken perks to absolutely dismantle you as they win and T-bag you while doing so.

Every other match is exactly like I just described to you. You're missing out on nothing. The game is repetitive. The game is unfun. The devs don't care or are too stupid to care. The grind is the worst in any game I've ever played.

"What do the devs do that's so stupid?" you might be asking. Well, the basic stuff that all incompetent devs do like ignoring community suggested balance decisions in exchange for their own terrible solutions. But the thing that separates DBD devs from the rest of the crowd is the BUGS. DBD isn't the only game with bugs of course, but here's what makes DBD such a unique case of stupidity. Every single patch, and yes I do mean EVERY. SINGLE. PATCH. some new bug is introduced that breaks the game in some way. The fascinating thing about these bugs is the fact that they arE IN NO WAY RELATED TO THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING BALANCED/CHANGED/PATCHED. Most recently, the devs changed 2 of the killers and updated an old map called Haddonfield to be new looking. That's basically all that was changed. But somehow these absolute buffoons managed to break a completely separate map called Midwitch so badly it had to be turned off so that nobody could play on it while they try to fix it and they made one of the characters make no sound whatsoever for no apparent reason. Oh, and the counter that tells you how many hooks you have (which is one of the most important UI pieces for the survivors by the way) is displaying incorrect data. How the ♥♥♥♥ did a developer team change absolutely none of these bugged things and still manage to bug them? How small and smooth does someone's brain have to be to do that?

Don't even get me started on the game director who literally told frustrated players to just go play Civilization (good advice by the way, playing anything but this dumpster fire is smart) and the lead game designer who told players who make skillful plays that their contributions do not matter towards a win.

Oh yeah, also Dead By Daylight is like the only game in the entire world that doesn't have a definition of what winning or losing is. You literally have no idea, the game doesn't tell you. You can't easily decide because so much RNG plays into how well or badly you play. This game is just a cluster♥♥♥♥.

Don't believe me? Check out the charts for this game https://steamcharts.com/app/381210
Ever since its peak average player count in July 2021 it has lost players 8 of the 9 months following till now. Literally one month after it had its biggest player count growth ever of 13,000 new players in July 2021 it had its biggest player count LOSS ever of 11,000 players in August 2021. Seriously think about that. 13,000 players joined this game (just for the resident evil chapter by the way) and instantly 85% of them left because they realized this game is completely unbearable ♥♥♥♥.

For the love of all that is holy; for the love of whatever god, hell whatever religious figure you follow; for the love of no religious figure at all if you dont follow one; PLEASE do yourself a favor and do not buy Dead By Daylight
