The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Reviews
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a good asymmetrical multiplayer experience that really translates the original wonderfully. It offers a new approach thanks to the multiple killers and thus keeps the gameplay fresh for longer. Unfortunately, the now four maps are not enough for long-term motivation and the lack of solo challenges or general content apart from the one PVP mode detracts from the otherwise really great basic concept

I wouldn’t consider The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to be the best asymmetrical multiplayer game I have ever played, but the sheer fact it has managed to carve a somewhat entertaining gameplay loop, whilst maintaining a steady playerbase for nearly a third of a year, is already very impressive. Playing as the cannibals is obviously more fun than being a victim, and the progression system is a bit unnecessary, but it could have been a lot worse.
The Chain Saw Massacre has a lot of potential but the limited licensing, the budget, and content release schedule all severely hamper the potential of the game itself. Compared to a game where you can play as almost every horror icon you can think of, it is very hard to hold your head above water.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre offers solid co-op gameplay, but the problem is that not enough players appreciate it enough to keep the servers busy, and even though it's very entertaining it may not survive long enough to be worth your money.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre proves that you can adapt a mythical work as if you didn't wreck it.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a decent riff on Dead By Daylight and if you're looking for exactly that, definitely give it a shot. Otherwise, you can just stick with the classics.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fantastic homage to the original film and really shines in its general presentation, but the gaming experience itself proves to be a frustrating one. Combine an increasingly toxic community and the prevalence of cheaters with a distinct lack of maps and variety and you have a game that may well struggle to succeed in competition with the many other titles in the asymmetrical horror genre. To paraphrase the tagline to the movie – will this game survive and what will be left of it?
What developer Gun has managed to deliver with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an accomplishment, same as they previously have dealing with Friday the 13th. If you can keep in mind the game’s level of commitment and don’t mind suffering through the headaches of playing with randoms, it can be an enjoyable time, And for fans of the source material, it’s got lots of little details to notice and appreciate for sure.
It’s a shame there isn’t an interactive tutorial. Instead the game asks you to sit through a surfeit of text-heavy videos. But then nothing beats actually playing the game to learn its intersecting systems. It really looks the part: the family members all resemble their on-screen counterparts (including the hitchhiker and the cook) and the locations and discordant soundtrack are highly evocative of the source material. These particular games rely on solid post-launch support so time will tell if it will survive and what will be left of it.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre not only does justice to the film from which it is inspired, but is also a good exponent of the genre to which it belongs.

The detail and nostalgia level alone makes the game a must for fans and the creepy fun is a must for horror fans.
As asymmetrical horror games go, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is on the shoulders of genre mainstays and still, it's an absolute ripper. Players are thrown in the deep end, which while frustrating at first leads to later games where things begin to click and make a lot more sense. Seeing iconic locations from the films and racing to find the way out as a chainsaw swings behind you is quite the thrill but it's as thrilling as it is unforgiving. Perks will aid you but understanding the perk tree is a little convoluted. Playing as the Family is a cruel spin on the game too for those feeling a little more sadistic. I do worry about how much runway the game will have into the future with limited films, not to mention the fate of the developer's other asymmetrical horror game. Perhaps this could see the game moving into more original content based on the IP it lives and breathes. And who knows? Maybe you'll be lucky and escape first try.
While the game’s graphics and audio are impressive, I believe that the balance of the game is not quite up to par. This may be attributed to the 4 vs 3 gameplay approach. Personally, I did not experience the same level of fear that I had when being pursued by Jason Voorhees.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre delivers on horror and exciting gameplay while also at times coming across as rather repetitive.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a ton of fun, and though it has some issues it has been pretty addicting to play. This is one of those games though that you will get the most out of it if you are playing with friends and using mics, as teamwork is a must. Some great new game dynamics elevate this one above the fray, making it the best asymmetrical horror game in recent memory.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is without a doubt one of the best Asymmetrical Horror games in recent years. it doesn't mean that this game is perfect or flawless by any means, but it does what it needs to do extremely well. Creating great atmosphere with immense pressure along successful adaptations of characters and elements of the main source.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre fulfills quite well what it promises: to be an asymmetrical multiplayer about the famous horror franchise. It has good foundations and potential to improve and elude the repetitiveness that threatens it.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a stylish, intense, and thoroughly fun game adaptation that excellently captures the spirit of its source material.
While The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's longevity will likely be drawn into question - and only time will tell if it will stand tall in the genre six months from now - for now, taking up the mantle of victim and family is raucous and riveting. Maybe this won't be the last hitchhiker we pick up, after all.
While the fear factor may not go all that far, the gameplay experience in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is smooth as butter and flows like claret from a freshly opened artery.
