The Casting of Frank Stone Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
This Supermassive title is a thoughtful and worthwhile addition to the Dead by Daylight universe.
The Casting of Frank Stone is an exhilarating horror adventure that effortlessly weaves the substantial lore of Dead by Daylight (DbD) into an experience that
It’s been over eight years since the asymmetric multiplayer horror game Dead By Daylight first shocked players with its brutal gameplay and eclectic roster of characters dubbed killers and survivors. Since DBD’s beginning though there’s always been a call for more. With lore presented throughout the game via little more than short cinematics, stories and flavour text it’s only now that we’ve begun to see this world open up.

The Casting of Frank Stone is crippled by a story that is bogged down by its pacing. It tries to tackle too much in too little time. Due to its impressive visuals, strong introduction and atmospheric soundtrack however, The Casting of Frank just narrowly escapes its fate in this review.
The Casting of Frank Stone may introduce interesting new mechanics and tons of references that’ll delight DbD fans but is light on actual horror and other flaws that leave this horror game lacking.
“The Casting of Frank Stone is more invested in Dead by Daylight than itself at times.”
The Casting of Frank Stone starts off well with an interesting premise and slow build so we can get to know its characters. Unfortunately it spends too much time on this that it forgets about the payoff.
Supermassive and Behaviour team up for a fun horror story, but not without several faults.
Despite an intriguing premise, The Casting of Frank Stone doesn’t hit the heights of Supermassive Games’ previous works thanks to a confusing story and some tension-sapping gameplay.
The Casting of Frank Stone is a decent narrative-focused horror adventure game that doesn't quite hit its stride.
Supermassive Games' collaboration with Dead By Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive results in occasionally awkward fan service.
The Casting of Frank Stone spins a cinematic narrative that ditches most of Dead by Daylight's deep lore in favor of uninspiring choices.
