Now Playing: Dead by Daylight | All-Kill | The Trickster Reveal
In GameSpot’s Dead by Daylight (2020) review, Joab Gilroy wrote, “At launch, Dead by Daylight suffered because of its reliance on peer-to-peer hosting and absent social features, but over time it rectified these issues. And while a brief and premature tussle with skill-based matchmaking turned the new player experience into a bit of a horror show (a problem which is now fixed), thanks to its community of players Dead by Daylight is without peer in the asymmetrical competitive multiplayer arena, and has grown into one of the most robust horror experiences around.”
