kevdodance Dead by Daylight Review
Sep 19, 2025
What an overrated cash-grab of a game. Dead by Daylight is one of the worst online games I've ever played since it launched. With every update that is released, an overpriced and useless survivor releases occasionally with an unequally unbalanced killer or a stupid underpowered killer that makes the game a nightmare to force yourself through. And on the off-chance that you're running good perks as a good killer or a decent survivor, you're still guaranteed to lose, thanks to Behaviour's designated team for Dead by Daylight having no clue how to implement skill-based matchmaking, leading new players to get in games with 1k+ hour players who know too much of what they are doing to be in lobbies with people who have no clue what they're doing or veteran players to get into lobbies with people who are absolutely clueless and have no clue what they're doing. And even when this isn't the scenario you're faced with, there's the impending doom of having to be faced with unemployed cheaters whose single digit IQs must be everyone else's issue or toxic TTVs who coincidentally have single digit IQs and single digit viewer counts. I'd comment on a saving grace this game could have but the only method they could do this is by firing their current development team and hire people who actually have some idea of what they're doing. But even then, this game is dying and the proper thing to do is rejoice since terrible video games are finally being faded into obscurity over platformed and overwhelmingly smothered with undeserved praise for doing the bare minimum of changes.
