The Verdict
based on 9 reviews
“Putting that aside, Dead By Daylight is one of the best-licenced board games on the market. Although it is flawed – around the player count and people losing their turns – it translates the video game exceptionally well.”
“Dead by Daylight is a wonderful board game as long as you don't mind the fact that it could be swinging and you might get stuck and not have a chance to win if you don't play correctly early on.”(25:25)
“The game is fun it's a good cat and mouse game it's a good game of trying to outthink the killer where is he G to go where the choke choke points”(7:50)
“It's a one versus mini game of cat and mouse that provides a tense experience keeping you on the edge of your seat”(13:03)
“The best thing about this game is its simple core structure: pick a card, move, interact. Done.”(3:21)
“As someone who has played 500+ hours of the video game, I can tell you that the board game does a great job at recreating the tense game of cat and mouse we have come to know.”
“I think it does the job. It's not necessarily so amazing that I would say you should go out and buy the game just for solo co-op, but it is nice that it lets you play as the killer or as the survivors or have even a team of survivors for co-op.”(31:44)
“Dead by Daylight: The Board Game is a solid one-vs-many action programming game with a few issues that unfortunately keep it from being very accessible. There's some nice variety to each play with the different Survivors and Killers, the randomized Props, and the double-sided board.”
“I love the experience that it brings. But ultimately, because of those big frustrations, it's one of that I would recommend, but it's going to have a lot of caveats to it.”(26:14)
