Dead by Daylight Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S (UK)

This review is my personal opinion, don't take it as an offense.

Dead by Daylight is a game that has stayed alive since 2016 not due to how good it is, but because of a lack of competition in the market (namely: Multiplayer "Horror" titles). However this review won't be focusing on that as it solely depends on other titles trying to get the same niche right.
Dead by Daylight manages to scratch an itch that hasn't really been touched. It is one among a few Multiplayer "Horror" games and one of the first. Personally, I wasn't able to find a single other game that has attempted this before Dead by Daylight, and that alone already grants it a boost in fame. Other companies have tried and failed to jump in on a market seemingly limitless in possibilities and yet on DbD has managed to maintain a constant player base without fading into obscurity as just another fad. And if I have to be honest, it's success baffles me, as the game doesn't really boast much in terms of mechanics, lore or gameplay (and especially lore which no matter how you twist, ends up being about as deep as a puddle during a heatwave in Florida). Somehow though, it seems to get a grip on you and manages to reel you back in just when you thought you were done. So then there must be something there ... right?
Let me preface this by saying that I don't think this review will ever be out of date, simply because of how the game works, with it's core mechanics ultimately remaining unchanged since the game's launch in June 14th 2016. Also I won't go in debt about content here since I've just started and this review is already too long.

"Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.
Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.
The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play."
-taken from description on Steam.

The game's addictiveness comes from it's simplicity. Survivors have one goal, which is to escape, and the Killer's goal is to prevent them from doing so. Given how much the game has expanded over the course of 5 years, there's plenty in the initial dose of playing to get you hooked. However I also mentioned earlier that this is also a flaw. After playing for a bit, the game starts to fall in a noticeable loop and the tasks the required to win a match get stale.
The way around that is to purchase more Killers (Survivors all behave roughly the same, and have the exact same price as Killers, aside from 3 new abilities called "Perks", which you can obtain from the shop with a degree of patience for cheaper) but the cost to obtain them with in-game currency is steep and grindy, with heavy encouragement to spend real money (surprise-surprise). That makes the game often frustrating to play on both sides, forming a swirl of toxicity in the dedicated community and some ... nauseating post-game chats.
Overall I won't recommend this to a casual player who isn't ready to dedicate themselves to long hours of grind. I would, however, recommend this to someone who is prepared to sink in a considerable chunk of time into the game, and enjoys the Horror genre in general.

In conclusion, I would give this game a solid overall 6/10. Thanks for reading!

Really fun game with friends or solo good replay ability and cheap the game can be challenging for both sides

Game is very fun when you play with your friends. Not too scary, just some thrill and excitement to get the heart pumping.

Very enjoyable game, without the thought of wasted money!
i highly suggest you use CDKEYS for any purchases.

Bought this expension pack, fast buy and easy activation! I hopped straigth to the game to see those new characters!

Love this game. I normally play it on playstation but I finally got it on pc and a lot cheaper than on steam.

Definitely worth the purchase, have it for my ps4 and loved it so much I bought it for my pc so I can play it on the go without playing the Mobile version!

it's a very nice game if you feel like shitting your pants, so therefor i would highly recomend this game if you have a spare set of pants

One of the best games to play with friends!!!! and the best site to get it CDKeys is the best...................................

This game makes you want to kill yourself and the rest of the world with you. Not caring about it and not letting it get to you is the key <3. 100/100
