Eurogamer: 3 / 5 by Ashley Bardhan

Supermassive Games' collaboration with Dead By Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive results in occasionally awkward fan service.

Full Review

Hardcore Gamer: 3 / 5 by Kyle LeClair

While the story is great and the camera mechanic is neat, the overall experience is dragged down by the likes of repetitive, bland areas and a few aggravating characters.

VG247: 4 / 5 by Kelsey Raynor

Those who have always wanted to know more about how Dead by Daylight’s cast of characters came to be trapped in a never-ending nightmare by The Entity will be wholly pleased to finally have some answers, especially if the DBD-stylised achievements and endless Easter eggs didn’t already have you foaming at the mouth. If you’re a fan of Dead by Daylight or The Dark Pictures Anthology, The Casting of Frank Stone is an absolutely must-play for you. Even then, those unfamiliar with the series’ will still find something to appreciate during this entertaining, albeit fleeting, experience

The main pros of the game

  • Atmosphere and Graphics: Many players praised the game's visuals and atmosphere, noting that it effectively creates a creepy and engaging environment. The graphical quality, especially in cutscenes, was highlighted positively.
  • Interesting Story Concept: The premise of the game, which involves a narrative intertwined with the lore of Dead by Daylight, was appreciated by some players. The concept of time travel and alternate realities added layers to the story.
  • Easter Eggs and References: Fans of Dead by Daylight enjoyed the numerous references and collectibles related to the original game, which enhanced their experience.
  • Replay Value: The game features multiple endings and a "Cutting Room" mechanic that allows players to revisit decisions, encouraging replayability.

The main cons of the game

  • Poor Optimization: A significant number of reviews pointed out that the game suffers from performance issues, including frame rate drops and crashes, even on high-end PCs. This detracted from the overall experience.
  • Weak Character Development: Many players found the characters to be unlikable and poorly developed. There was little emotional connection, which made character deaths feel inconsequential.
  • Lack of Meaningful Choices: Although the game is marketed as a choice-driven narrative, many players felt that their choices did not significantly impact the story, leading to a sense of frustration.
  • Pacing Issues: The pacing of the game was criticized for being uneven, with some sections feeling drawn out while the ending was rushed and unsatisfactory.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Skip Option for Cutscenes: Players expressed disappointment that there is no option to skip cutscenes or dialogue that has already been viewed, which makes replaying the game tedious.
  • Depth in Gameplay Mechanics: Users noted that the gameplay felt too simplistic and lacked engaging mechanics, with many moments feeling like watching a movie rather than participating in an interactive experience.
  • More Horror Elements: Several reviews mentioned that the game did not deliver on horror as expected, with few genuinely scary moments and a reliance on predictable jump scares.

Summary

  • Overall, The Casting of Frank Stone™ seems to have a mix of engaging story elements and visual appeal, but it is marred by technical issues, weak character development, and a lack of impactful choices. It may appeal to fans of Dead by Daylight, especially if acquired during a sale, but many players recommend caution regarding its current state and gameplay experience.
