Evil Dead: The Game Reviews
Evil Dead: The Game is for franchise fans, and those who like games that need players to work together to complete objectives will treasure it. While there is space for improvement across the board, the game is still a gratifying experience right out of the gate.
The good news is future updates can address most of my more minor gripes, but the game is an unbalanced mess at release. Developer Saber Interactive’s commitment to fan service is commendable, and die-hard Evil Dead fans will find this release enjoyable. However, it’s hard to see the lasting appeal for the rest of us.
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.
Evil Dead: The Game could be another horror game falling into the well of asymmetrical 4v1 but by respecting the saga and the genre it manages to positively stand out from the rest, offering more than just another horror game. With a very affordable price tag, whether with friends, strangers or with the help of the AI, countless terrifying sessions await you.

Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
Evil Dead: The Game surprised me in every single way. It was more than I expected. The attention to detail in the characters, enemies, and environments. The Knowby cabin is outstanding and nearly a 1 for 1 replica. The finishers are beautiful, the environments eerie and creepy, the gameplay loop addictive, but most importantly it is fun. Boss Team Games & Saber Interactive should be hailed for their attention to detail to Evil Dead the Game. It is quite apparent a lot of love, time and care went into it. Even if you are not a fan of the films or have no clue what Evil Dead is, there is still plenty to enjoy here. If you are a fan of Evil Dead, Dead by Daylight, or other asymmetrical PvP games, it is imperative that you pick up Evil Dead: The Game.
With a strong atmosphere and love for the franchise, Saber Interactives' Evil Dead: The Game is the best horror multiplayer to play with friends.
Gory asymmetrical horror is a demonically fun, well balanced power struggle with boomsticks and bonus Bruce Campbell
Evil Dead: The Game is one of the better asymmetric multiplayer horror games out there, but it's severely lacking content in its current state.
An asymmetrical horror game that balances accessibility and paying homage to its source material, Evil Dead: The Game is a ruthlessly entertaining time whether you are saving the day or ruining it for everyone.
Evil Dead: The Game offers a mixture of nostalgia and disappointment for fans of the franchise. On the one hand, there are countless references to the original films and the series, with highly recognizable settings, the voices of the actors from the series and an art direction that follows the same codes. On the other hand, we have a title that looks very similar to other games on the market, a progression system that is practically useless, a horrific atmosphere that disappears quickly, an obligation to play with friends to really enjoy the game and a mandatory internet connection even for solo missions. So, unfortunately, I can't recommend the title, unless you are a VERY big fan of the license and have several friends to play with. Fortunately, the title offers a shared progression system between platforms, but also cross-play. Hopefully, you won't go around in circles too soon!

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 feel rough around the edges but oozes fan service as it delivers some of the best asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay out there that rewards players on both sides.
We were curious without expecting much, but here we are forced to see that this Evil Dead: The Game is successful. Saber serves us an ultra faithful to the license, very fun, which has as a bonus game mechanics both intelligent and fun.

Evil Dead The Game is a groovy game, one that should give you hours upon hours of playtime as you play through its various modes or delve into Mission Mode to know the full truth. In the words of Joe Bob: Four stars, check it out!
The Evil Dead Game is a must-have for fans of the films and the series. For those players who haven’t seen either, you can still jump in and pick it up quickly. The 4vs range of games is extremely popular and hopefully Sabre Interactive provides more support than Gun Media did for Friday The 13th. Sabre Interactive have the benefit of the game being delayed a few times to polish it off and make adjustments, and to their credit, I’ve not had any single game-breaking bug or crash. I definitely enjoyed my time and will continue playing for a long time yet. It is for this reason that I award Evil Dead The Game the Thumb Culture Gold Award
Evil Dead: The Game is an interesting adaptation of the movie saga to the video game, enjoyable both alone and with friends.

Saber Interactive's Evil Dead: The Game might be a bore to play solo, but is a blast online and brimming with potential for future updates. This is how they do it in Michigan!
Evil Dead: The Game is a surprisingly good nostalgic romp thanks to its fluid matchmaking system and game modes. It is a blast to play as a Survivor and it’s downright gratifying on the Demon side of things. However, the offline missions feel lacklustre and are forced to unlock the in-game characters on the single-player side of things. Considering its lack of polish and not-so-enticing visuals on last-gen consoles, your best bet would be to get the deluxe edition on sale when most of these issues have been fixed. Still, it is an easy recommendation if you have a fun squad to hang out with.
Evil Dead: The Game is mostly everything I hoped it would be. It’s a fun, logical next step in the asymmetrical multiplayer horror genre. Sure, it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it did enough to reinvigorate my passion for this type of experience. I’ll be keeping a close eye on Evil Dead: The Game over the next few years. It’s a few maps and some solid single-content away from being truly great.
