    While there is a lot of nice touches regarding franchise details, Friday the 13th is not a super fun game and it's also full of bugs.

    levels begins in the same way a shot of the preppy teen’s ridiculous face, which gets old fast.
    Of course,this isn't the real reason why I didn't like the game , but so many glitchess and bug didn't make me enjoy the experince.
    The developer said a single-player component is coming before the end of 2017, hopefully, so we wait.
    An I suggest to wait to all of you for a better a stable version with new updates    … Expand

    A shame the plug was pulled on this game due to licensing issues.

    The games optimization just plain sucks. Even on High end rigs its hard to hold 60FPS+ on max settings 1080p. I know what lots of people would say Jason is OP but I think it wouldn't have made sense otherwise. A team based game where surviving isn't guaranteed even working in groups. Do your best to outsmart Jason and    A shame the plug was pulled on this game due to licensing issues.

    I know what lots of people would say Jason is OP but I think it wouldn't have made sense otherwise. A team based game where surviving isn't guaranteed even working in groups. Do your best to outsmart Jason and escape the area with 3 different escapes and various survivors and abilities.

    For what it is, it's a fun game especially with friends. I played it solo and still had all that fun. 100 Hours in the game from the first few months and bam, suddenly no more DLC.

    The plug was pulled and the game is practically dead now outside of a cult following player base or players that played the game for free.

    40 bucks definitely was a steep asking price, 20 should've been it. Now I feel this game should be in the cheap section of gaming. Hoping one day this game can get a true DLC revive.

    I initially could've given this game a 8 because of how the game was running before. Constantly improving and making it more and more fun but officially I'm now at a 5 or 6. It's incomplete and its still a buggy mess that's dead they're trying to sell.

    I would say unless you have friends to play with, pack it up and pick up another title.    … Expand

    More connection kills than councilors
    Friday the 13th is currently and online only competitive 7 v 1 survival game where you play as either Jason or a counselor and you’re thrown into 1 of 3 maps...
    your goal is to escape, survive or of course kill all of the councilors…
    Every character has their own advantages and disadvantages.. Their own stats... the character you play as is random every match and you unlock more characters as you level up
    Asa councilor you start with a flash light and nothing else…
    you have a mini map but unless you find a map within the game that’s all you have to go off of
    your goal is to find a nice hiding spot and wait for the timer to go out… call the cops, call in a shotgun wielding hunter character with 1 single bullet to do massive damage, or fix a car or boat and get out of there…
    around the maps are houses with supplies to fix the phone or one of the cars on the map..
    Attempting to do so will throw you into a quick time event where every precious second matters as Jason could be around any corner…
    being cautious of your noise and fear level as this will make you easier to detect...
    you can barricade doors and open windows for a quick escape, or even set traps for Jason if he comes smashing through one
    there are also tons of weapons laying around, though none of them are a true threat to Jason..
    Killing Jason is a possibility... but you’ll need to team up with the other councilors to do this, as you’re definitely not doing this on your own... Not even with the single use shotgun
    weapons are mostly for rescuing other players or stunning Jason to escape...
    And you can communicate with players using a mic once you find a walkie talkie within the game which is a cool twist
    The fun part to me comes in the form of playing as Jason..
    There are multiple Jason’s to unlock and Just like the counselors each has their own stats... their own strengths and weaknesses...
    as the match goes on the stronger Jason gets…
    at first you just have a map, then you unlock a fear censor to see characters running around, a teleportation ability which allows you to dash through the air to pop up right in front of a counselor, useful for catching up to cars and stopping them in their tracks, or catching back up with an enemy after they stun you.. a stalk ability that turns of audio cues that you’re near, and finally a rage mode towards the end of a match that buffs all of your abilities, allows you to run faster and smash down doors with ease…
    and to kill la councilor you can grab and use a finisher, attack them with a melee weapon or do one of many environmental kills like throwing them through a window…
    however I found that actually being Jason was far too rare even with him set as my preference I only got to play as him once every hr. and half, matches fly by when you’re the killer, but as the counselor they seem to drag on forever, made worse by the fact you have to stay and watch in case you’re randomly selected to come back in as the hunted character or if you want your xp at the end of the match..
    Which awards you points to unlock a new random perk or finish for Jason...
    you can attach these perks to your characters all with buffs and debuffs, and if you get one you don’t like you can sell it back to the game.. .
    By biggest issue with this game however is its match making…
    Creating matches takes a ridiculously long time… and that’s if you’re lucky enough to stay in a lobby without one of the frequent error connections…
    once in game things are fine.. But actually getting into a game probes to be a bit of an issue on the PlayStation 4…
    Friday the 13th is an entertaining game for a while... more so when you’re playing as Jason…
    But constantly playing as counselors I started to get bored with the game fairly quickly, and the server issues left me feeling frustrated when I just wanted to get into a game and play…
    I give Friday the 13 the game

    Buena idea, pero con una ejecución mejorable. Es divertido jugar como Jason buscando víctimas y también hacerlo como superviviente intentando sobrevivir buscando una escapatoria. El problema es que la escasa variedad de acciones y mapas hace que en pocas horas quede poco que pueda sorprender al jugador.

    This game is a 6 in truth. It's an okay game. Once the DLC content comes out this game could improve. It's fun for like, 2 hours, and then it gets repetitive and boring.

    Este juego en un principio es muy divertido y aterrador pero con el tiempo se vuelve simple y predecible, cabe notar que los desarrolladores se fijaron muy bien en la saga de películas para la ambientación y son muy precisos en ciertos aspectos del entorno, carece de un modo historia lo cual me parece un gran desacierto y hubiera preferido pagar mas por un juego con modo historia y online,Este juego en un principio es muy divertido y aterrador pero con el tiempo se vuelve simple y predecible, cabe notar que los desarrolladores se fijaron muy bien en la saga de películas para la ambientación y son muy precisos en ciertos aspectos del entorno, carece de un modo historia lo cual me parece un gran desacierto y hubiera preferido pagar mas por un juego con modo historia y online, los bugs abundan y en ocasiones se vuele casi imposible terminar la partida.… Expand

    Quite the mess I must say. Was released with low amount of content but has gotten better. People are mad because Jason is op,but that was kind of the intention and how it should be. Technically this game still needs tweaking. Graphics are decent especially for the budget. But still a bunch of bugs that need fixing. Can be fun but can still become better. points for the fan service.Quite the mess I must say. Was released with low amount of content but has gotten better.

    Я фанат серии и мне игра очень понравилась . Минус за то что в начале была плохая оптимизация и очень много bugs . А потом в сессиях стали появляться сотни злых школьников
    которые пытаются оглушить тебя своими матерными визгами .    Я фанат серии и мне игра очень понравилась . Минус за то что в начале была плохая оптимизация и очень много bugs . А потом в сессиях стали появляться сотни злых школьников

    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.
