Critic Reviews for Friday the 13th: The Game
When you're playing as Jason, this is unquestionably the best Friday the 13th game ever made. I really appreciate the genuine love for the franchise on display here. Hunting down players and executing them in spectacularly gory scenes is an homage that warms my lifelong Friday-fan heart. But the fun of its asymmetrical multiplayer-only action is heavily skewed toward Jason, which means you'll mostly be stuck playing as teens rummaging through drawers. Despite that lopsided gameplay and some pretty heinous glitches, there is some dumb fun to be had here – which is all the movies ever really offered, anyway.
A thrilling and creative multiplayer horror, Friday the 13th's compelling emergent play is hindered by a half-baked launch.
It needs more maps, but right now Friday the 13th is a gory game of hide-and-go-seek that's fun with funny people.
The cat-and-mouse gameplay is exciting and captures classic horror-movie moments – when the game actually works, which isn't often enough
Encounters between Jason and counselors should be the high point, but they're often just dull and repetitive
A week after launch, Friday the 13th remains the buggy and sometimes-broken game it was on the day of its release.
Players can absolutely see the incredible potential of Friday the 13th: The Game. When the game works without issue, it provides a fantastic, tense experience unlike other asymmetrical horror games on the market.
Friday the 13th: The Video Game, is a terrifying game based on the slasher film franchise. Despite knowing how to perfectly reproduce the atmosphere of the film, a unique game mode seems unforgivable.
