Evil Dead: The Game Reviews
Evil Dead: The Game pays excellent tribute to most of the Evil Dead canon with great gusto. It looks fantastic, plays smoothly, and has a robust set of multiplayer options, that means the foundation is there for a game with great longevity. It remains to be seen whether Saber will support the game with more content, which will need a refresh in the future. But if they do, Evil Dead: The Game is poised to be one of the better horror adaptations and easily one of my favourites.
Evil Dead: The Game is a game that is great in concept, but makes the same mistake that other games looking to dethrone Dead by Daylight make: Focusing on one franchise and expecting it to carry the whole experience. Evil Dead: The Game has a solid foundation but stagnates very easily due to a lack of variety in gameplay objectives and maps. Not to mention it relies on people working together in order to win as one side, which doesn't work without a solid communication system that everyone actually uses or a community that actually wants to work together.
It’s sometimes a little rough around the edges, but there are some amazing selling points when it comes to Evil Dead. It has the look, feel and sound of proceedings down pat, even down to the movement of the evil presence as it stalks Ash and his friends in the cold, dark woods.
Evil Dead: The Game needs some polish to take it to the next level, as there are some areas that could do with some quality-of-life improvements, and to fix some of the weird physics.
Evil Dead: The Game is another solid product based on a movie license that offers a good time for fans of the series and newcomers alike, but don't expect it to knock your socks off beyond that.
If you’re happy to ignore its single-player mode, Evil Dead: The Game is a well-balanced and fun asymmetric horror title that stands above all other games in this growing sub-genre.
With a strong atmosphere and love for the franchise, Saber Interactives' Evil Dead: The Game is the best horror multiplayer to play with friends.
Evil Dead: The Game pays an interesting homage to the saga, with an improvable and yet enjoyable assymetric gameplay that can be a good start for a game that surely needs long-time support from the developers, in order to find its place in this niche.

Saber Interactive has crafted a highly entertaining asymmetrical multiplayer game in Evil Dead: The Game, and a lot of that is down to an understanding of how best to implement the quirks of the source material into game form. With possession, slapstick, gore, violence, chainsaws, and malevolent trees, Evil Dead: The Game is as Evil Dead as it could be.
Evil Dead: The Game is undoubtedly the best Evil Dead game yet.
Light on content, but high on entertainment value, Evil Dead: The Game is an asymmetrical multiplayer experience that brings the humor, gore, and high-octane thrill of slaying deadites to fans of both mediums.
In its current state of this review, Evil Dead: The Game is sorely lacking content and variety, but it does have a lot of potential. A medieval inspired stage called Castle Kandar is going to be included in a future update and who knows; maybe the 2013 remake might get represented one day. There needs to be more fleshed out single player material and different modes for sure.
Evil Dead: The Game is a great asymmetrical game. It's fun in both roles and has a lot of content, but it still has to correct several problems.

Evil Dead: The Game is clunky but loveable. It's a very good movie-to-video game adaptation, and it's likely as close as we're going to get to a proper and decent "Evil Dead" video game. I had a good deal of fun with it, both as a fan of the movies and as a gamer. It twists a familiar game concept just enough and bolsters it with additional mechanics so that it feels fresh again. Longevity is definitely a concern in terms of content, but at least console cross-play ensures that its player base will stay healthy for a little while.
Evil Dead: The Game is the best Evil Dead experience to date in the world of video games.

We take a deep look at the new Evil Dead game and see how it fares against its contemporaries in the asymmetrical multiplayer horror field
Evil Dead captures the spirit of the movies while laying a solid foundation for an enduring multiplayer experience. Just don't expect to have fun playing solo.
Surprisingly good 4in1 game, which has a bit long matches and an unnecessarily large map, but in terms of gameplay it is good. It has depth, an impressive atmosphere and additional singleplayer content.

Evil Dead: The Game can be very entertaining as long as you play it with a bunch of friends or you are huge Ash Williams fan, or even better, both.
