    If any game deserves the title "overrated" its Slender

    The game for the first few times is infact scary, but after multiple play throughs the game becomes predictable and more of a race then a horror game. The game relies heavily on jump scares, which is fun the first few times, but then gets more annoying then scary.

    Also with the most recent update the game has gotten extremely laggy for certain computers even when toning down the detail of everything. This was tested on 6 different computers, so its not just my laptop. The game has also taken the fun of the slenderman and destroyed it in two, most people don't know what the slendermans real origins are except he was in a scary game. This is more of a personal thing, but hey, its my review.

    Im sorry about being such a downer, but there are many other horror games out there that do better then slender. SCP Containment Breach, Ib, Ao Oni, Witches House, Witch, and Yumi Nikki to name a few. I'd recommend you get the game if youre into indie horror games, but it will get boring after a while.

    Over hyped game; an attempt at survival horror based around the internet mythos "Slenderman". You are trapped in a fenced in park or forest of some sort at night. The entire game revolves around you trying to pick up 8 pages that are scattered around the park. These pages are usually located at "landmarks" in the forest. The entire game is walking around while spooky music is being played.Over hyped game; an attempt at survival horror based around the internet mythos "Slenderman".

These pages are usually located at "landmarks" in the forest. The entire game is walking around while spooky music is being played. As you collect pages, the Slenderman will get more and more aggressive as it perseus you through the park. The Slenderman doesn't really walk, it kind of teleports around the area. You never hear it coming, the only alert you are given is the screen getting fuzzy. The first time Slenderman pops up on your screen, it will give you a jump, after that, nothing else. Slow, stupid, game with almost no game play value at all.… Expand

    Mediocre game. The game can be completed in a very little time. Its plot is very basic, although the real plot of the Slender Man is quite good. The gameplay is very basic, you can't even run. The graphics are OK, but the performance is poor. If the developers make some effort on it, it can be good. Graphics and performance: 4; Longevity: 2; Gameplay: 3; Plot: 5; Sound: 5.

    If this is the future of survival horror, I think I'd sooner play Resident Evil 6. Oh no, it's a banker with no face! Run for the hills! Snore. Game isn't even scary. Only worthy for people who unironically watch PewDiePie. Not even if it's free.

    Lots of people are talking about this game like it's "da best horror game evar!11".
    Here's what this game REALLY has to offer:
    -Bad graphics.
    -Boring gameplay.
    -Repetitive environment.
    -Bad mapping.
    -Cheesy Slenderman model.
    -Not scary at all.
    Go download and play Slender's Wood's. Much better game.

    Overrated, overrated and overrated.

    This game will scare you once, for that one time, the game is great at what it does. Play it a second time and... no cigar, slenderman (in itself a very good concept) becomes oh too familiar, even the jump scares become somewhat boring. The figure itself isn't actually scary either- seriously look at him (or her)... Compared to other horror games, it    Overrated, overrated and overrated.

    Why people love this game so much I shall never know. It isn't scary at all (y'know, the ONE DAMN THING you ask from a horror game), the gameplay is so slow paced I would rather watch snails race speedwise, but the gameplay is decent and somewhat tricky and I was obsessed with this at one short period in time, and due to those things, Slender: The Eight Pages rates a 4/10.

    A horrible not at all scary. With this stupid slender man game is a tedious in-scary poorly made game that is some how a "scary game" the only pro to this game is it give off this creepy vide in the beginning minute that's it.
