I Shouldn’t Have Slept on Dead by Daylight: Review
33Dead by Daylight is a 9-year-old asymmetrical multiplayer game that is still going strong in 2025. I intentionally ignored the game for the longest time. I'm not a horror fan, be it movies or video games, and I tend to shy away from things that are creepy or gore-filled. That meant the entire concept always gave me the ick, and I just wrote it off.
That was a mistake. A friend recently got me to try it, and there's a lot going on with this game that makes it really special. To be fair, Dead by Daylight has had 9 years of refinements, but I want to talk about some key things that I think really make it a great game that's worth playing, even now.
