    This kind of behavior gives indy developers a bad name. What the hell did they do with the $800K dollars plus all of the pre-order money? Give me a break.    … Expand

    This game is so boring. I don't think this game will have many players playing it in 5 or 6 months. The combat system is very poor and confusing.

    Another thing that is kinda worrying is that they keep saying "We aren't AAA" but they priced it at digital AAA pricing and raised 2M+ in Kickstarter and SlackerBacker funds and delayed the launch significantly. Then they say "We are just a small team" Illfonic is not a small indie development house from what I can tell, they used high level outside contractors (all covered in their updates and twitter feeds) like Art Bully and Gunmedia is a moderately experienced team as well. The level of weird on this is hard to ignore when seeing the quality of the game.

    I would wait for a price drop or at least until servers are working and single player is out. Streamers are having fun but have a headstart on the community in terms of perks and levels (There has been no reset before launch).

    So avoid until they either prove singleplayer is fun or wait for a sale if you only want online play.

    Hope they fix it in the coming days and that the community isn't dead on arrival.    … Expand

    Extremely boring. Poor gameplay design that's overly complicated. I couldn't stop laughing the faces of characters, esp. when my character had a permanent "o" face frozen on him for rest of game. 3/10 because I could steam refund.

    The worst game I've ever played. Bug-infested mess, released before it's even complete with completely broken gameplay. If this were free to play it would still be expensive.

    The developers made over a million dollars through kickstarter and they released the game full of glitches, a gamebreaking bug, faulty gameplay mechanics, freezing, crashes, and did not work for most of first week because of servers.

    You essentially paid 40 dollars or more if you pre-order and could not play it the first week. And for the console users, especially the xbox vers. people still can't play the game. I don't understand how can you pay full price for a product that doesn't work. They had over millon dollars to make the game and even more with sales. So, how is this ok? If these developers actually cared about their product, they wouldn't have released it in first place until it actually works. You would only release it for more money and use the players as game testers.

    Also, this game has game breaking bug, where Jason flies out of map and dies. Sometimes it was just hitting jason, using sweater in doorway, grabbing people in fireworks or shooting a flare, and other random reasons. They still haven't fixed just seen recent video of it. There is another random bug where u can't pick up or use items.

    Onto glitches, there are soooooo many glitches in this game it is ridiculous and they are not just minor graphical glitches. These are invulnerable or hiding spots just waiting out 20min timer. You can trap glitch to rooftops, bridge glitches, glitch into and on top of walls, invulnerable glitches like flying, outhouses, wardrobes, and boats. There is car flipping glitches that happens randomly.

    In order to get access to other characters, jasons, animated kills, and perks, you have level grind and farm virtual currency. This rewards invulnerable, hiding spot glitchers, teaming with jason, point farmers, and other toxic gameplay. This is fastest way to level for least amount of work. Had they removed mindless game mechanics of leveling and virtual currency gambling slot machine for perks, then there would be no reason for these types of toxic gameplay. Why wait 20mins in glitch spot, point farming, or go invunerable, if game doesn't reward it. You would just be wasting your time.

    Also, they added -1,000 exp for team killing which is dumb because team killers don't care about leveling. Team killers care about griefing. This only punishes players from trying to save people with shotgun. Now there's no point in risking, which kills the team play. Seems like developers have any clue what they are doing.

    Lastly, their only consistency is that their patches and updates only seem to make the game worse. The recent patch freezes and crashes more often on loading the game. It's all over forums and even streamers are having same problems. I really don't see how any honest reviewer can give this game 10. When majority of time you are not playing game because you are trying to find a with decent ping, a group who speak english and has a mic, loading game back up because of crashes, or waiting in observer mode 10-20mins because you spawn next to jason with no items and died.
    Just wait for summer sales and probably the game will be fix by then.    … Expand

    I had backed this game prior to release by buying it, Virtual Cabin, clothes and savini jason. Virtual cabin stopped receiving updates the minute they released the game and the clothes DLC was just a couple of bad reskins. They just announced Virtual Cabin 2.0 free with single player, meaning i paid extra for nothing.

    The game is still buggy as hell and the majority of ingame players seems to be some angry chinese or russian kids of which will rage quit when something they didnt like happens. They will only be happy to verbally annoy you when their attention span drops (very quickly).

    If you are Jason people will still just rage quit right at the beginning leaving only half the councillors. When you kill players as Jason most of the time they intentionally DC during the kill animation, meaning you have to go through a buggy animation with no character there. Sometimes you lose the XP too (Even though they said they fixed this, they have not).

    I was struggling to play the game within a couple of weeks.

    Save your money even if a massive Friday the 13th fan like me. The majority of you will quickly regret buying it.    … Expand

No wonder they kept it a secret for so long. Its not worth $15..I wouldnt even play this game for free, and they're still asking $40 for this trash.

    Apparently the devs have gone on a banning spree against some people who "say mean things" in the game voicechat. As if the game wasn't PEGI 18+, as if the game wasn't about murdering people, as if the game characters didn't have a vocabulary consisting of more than 50% of curse words.
    A murder game sure isn't the first place I'd think of to build a safe space...

Currently buying perks are unavailable, making it almost playing each game as a counselor with using nothing but the bare bones default perks, which sucks. Had several glitches where hopping off a small ledge had me floating in midair, which is obviously a game breaking bug. There is a problem with saving your profile data and the saving icon animation remaining on your HUD throughout the game. Jason is more or less OP and if you know his controls well, you can pretty much take everyone out without any much skill. As with unlocking counselors perks, you have to also unlock Jason's kill animations. His basic executions are a crotch shot with an axe or choking them out starting out. This makes it boring to kill every other counselor the same way, although there are few environmental executions you can do that are spread out across the map. The Xbox One version currently is still in "broken" stage without the day 1 patch that both the PS4 and PC users have already received. This game is definitely not worth the $40 price tag. Either wait for a price drop or find a better game. I'd advise on the latter.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all – I'm not a hater, I've pre oredered the game five months ago, and after so many excitements it's time for my opinion.

    So After 10 hours in the game – I can say fully that Friday the 13th is one of the my dissapionmets of 2017. even more then Outlast 2. And I'll explain it with eveything.

    Firstly, the benefits. There are 3 maps, and they are huge with a lot to explore in each house. The ways of escaping are largers, you can call the police and wait a couple minutes for them to come, and you can find some pars of a car/boad and escape. there are many consulers and jasons but they are not pefect and I'll explain it later. the soundtrack is gorgoues as final for the benefits.

    now what about the cons? As a start – the graphic is terrible with so many unfinished places to take care of. There are many many many many many bugs and lags. the server crused me at least 7 times since I've begun to play. The animations' faces maybe funny but getting tired after a couple of times when Jason is running after me and I'm with a face of **** I've **** to do and a murder is after me'. now, this is fine, but it's happening even when Jason is not chasing me, and i'm opening a door with the same **** faces, jesus. oh yeah, the lags are very effectives in the game, when you open a door and the door is opening where your hands aren't there, the same goes when Jason grabs u. The thought of the way the fatalities are manage, are great, but when it actually done (in actual fact) it looks so awful. the delay of the animation kills is a beginner developer and if you think it's like Mortal Kombat X, it's not even close. The 'Tommy Jarvis' charactor isn't special at all. the only differences btw u and him, is that he has a shoutgun with one bullet that isn't help much (even at all, when you nervous and aiming the gun against Jason who is closting to u, you'll notice that you won't harm him because u missed from stress) and is stealsh at 10, something that is good, but has for other chracators too. I've played more then like 70 or more matchs, and my chances of playing with Jason were all so less that I had more chance to win in the lotto. Some sad things: You cannot change anything in the keyboard and mouse settings. The developers aren't letting u until they'll release an update that letting you rebinding. You cannot run evn a little bit. If u run, your stamina goes down, and if you've wated all your stamina and Jason is chasing after u – your chances to get out alive is like I'll have more chances to play with Jason all the time – and it's not happening at all.

    This is just a taste of my fully review that will upload to our website.    … Expand

    2) friends can join as a group with one of them killer, resulting in a very common occurrence of killer being friendly towards some counselors +/- the friend counselors disclosing non-friend counselors location to the killer
    3) no text chat or prerecorded voicechat, meaning without a mic you have quite a handicap (and also if you have teammates without a mic, you still have a handicap even if you do have a mic, because teamwork is quite important)
    4) various glitches/bugs/exploits. They are being fixed, but others are introduced at the same time (currently, the game tends to freeze/crash about once every 2 hours for me)

    Abanonware as the devs hide behind a legal dispute. It only prevents new additions, yet the devs refuse to do any work on the massive list of bugs that have been around since early Beta. If that were not bad enough, hackers rule what few servers are still running which the devs also refuse to do anything about.

    While on the topic of Jasons grab it can be near impossible to get free from it. I main Vanessa who is one of the faster characters and if Jason grabs me I typically die within seconds of the grab, I hope Gun nerfs the grab... Other than that I would say the balance is decent. Still a few issues but nothing too terrible.

    The main issue is just how boring the game is when Jason is not chasing you, the game literally turns into the most boring scavenger hunt since the 2017 white house easter egg hunt. I spent nearly 15 minutes without Jason finding me (I wasn't staying still I was just running yes running from house to house trying to find the stuff I need)

    The game is also glitchy as all hell.. Literally I was in a tent hiding when Jason hit the back of it at which point I jumped out as fast as my character could and it launched me into the air where I stayed for the rest of the game just literally floating above the map (I will admit this made for some awesome eye in the sky viewings of the kill animations but it removed the tension and fear as I was literally unkillable). On top of that glitch I also experienced the dreaded Database Login Failure which plagued me for the first two days of the games launch, and after that error was sorted out I was unable to level up for a further two days... No this may seem like a non issue but try playing a game against a level 30 Jason with high tier kills with the base Vanessa without any perks, Trust me it doens't work well at all. It's about as effective as hitting Michael Myers with a spoon.

    However I will say that this game is only entertaining to me when me and a few buds team up and play it. When I solo play I just get so bored and annoyed at how unbalanced the game is and how some teammates don't communicate and leave in the car on their own. This game works well with friends... there is nothing more satisfying than killing Jason with a team of friends that communicate well.

    Another issue I have with the game is the music. Sometimes Jason's combat/ stalking music will play when he is on the complete opposite side of the map. This is super infuriating because it will make me stop whatever I am doing and hide, I get this at least once a game.

    Now on to how the game looks itself, this game is created in the Unreal 4 engine but it looks like it was made in the Unreal engine 3. The textures on Jason himself are actually the best textures and animations in the game.... however the counselors look even worse than Mass Effect Andromeda's Ryder did. Chad in particulat looks just I have no words to describe it... Oh wait I do DATED.
    The faces and animations look dated. I mean Assassins Creed 2 had similar looking faces.... I mean I get it the characters are sweating from fear or whatever but there is no way a human face is supposed to look shiny and well... I guess like Play-dough.
    All the counselors look like they were molded from clay. I would even say some of their faces looked better in the beta. Yes looked better in the beta.

    I mean at least you can get a few laughs out of these horrendous faces and glitchy animations.

    Oh I haven't even mentioned the glitchy fighting mechanics... Doesn't matter what weapon you use the hits might not register sometimes. For example I was in the combat stance with an axe (the most powerful weapon in the game bar the shotgun) right in Jasons face and hit him with it. I got the fight back notification and the stun one but somehow Jason was still able to grab me and throw me through a window without actually getting stunned. The game expects you to fight Jason when you are cornered but it rarely works. I mean holy hell how do you expect me to fight and stun something that doesn't even register my hits.

    I will admit that some weapons like the shotgun and flare gun work almost without fail. A lot of work must have went in to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of those weapons. I commend them on that... but that's about all I can praise without a single complaint.

    Now this may seem like I hate the game... But that is far from the truth. I just find it horrifyingly dissapointingly bland, boring, and the worst of all it's offenses is that it's disapointing. It claimed to be the Dead by Daylight killer but that game works better and is waay more balanced, but even that game is far from perfect..

    In conclusion I would give this game a 3/10. I cannot recommend this game for this price. $40 for a multiplayer only game is a bit steep since it only contains 3 maps and one game mode. Maybe get it on sale if you're friends have it.    … Expand

    Playing as Jason is kind of cool, but the game play itself is very boring and repetitive. You just hunt down councilors and try and kill them. You also can't play as a councilor in offline mode. The environment graphics are pretty good, but the skins of people look glossy. Like wet plastic. Online play is not very good. Servers take forever to load.

The "only" reason I gave it a 1, is because of Jason. Very bad game. You want Friday the 13th? Just watch the movies. You'll have more fun. 1/10.… Expand

    Cult series done pretty well into the game. The fun is almost instant, but it also disappears as quickly. If there were more possibilities and environments, perhaps one would stay there longer. For a few plays the game serves fine, but not many players will return very often. Impression is also corrupted by obsolete visuals and technical issues.

    Friday the 13th does not overflow with content, but is rich enough to generate varied memories (unlike Dead by Daylight, another example of asymmetrical multiplayer). What it needs to become a truly worthwhile game is some more polish. [08/2017, p.76]

    Three or four hours into the game, and your interest in F13 will inevitably fade — this game desperately needs more variety in situations. All sessions are too similar, and, if you are lucky enough to become the first victim, you will have to remain a spectator for the rest of the session.
