    How did they miss this shot? tell me how is this possible to be a bad game? they just had to copy paste friday 13th yet they still missed the shot, it's not funny to be detected every attempt to escape on a match, 3 killers really? who thought this would be a good idea, the game is just fun for the killers playing as victim is absolutely terrible and not fun.

    All they had to do is recreate the Friday The 13th game with a Texas Chainsaw skin and spice things up, but they chose the small "arena" fish in a barrel style gameplay like DeadByDaylight. It sucks. Super basic. Cant do much. Escape options are not even canon. Like they couldn't think of cool stuff, so they threw 4 different types of gates and called it good, lol. I could keep going butAll they had to do is recreate the Friday The 13th game with a Texas Chainsaw skin and spice things up, but they chose the small "arena" fish in a barrel style gameplay like DeadByDaylight.

I could keep going but that's the most of it.

    Call me when they drop full sized maps, let the victims fight back for real, and implement some interesting escape options that aren't just 4 different types of gates. We could call the Semi Truck guy, the cops, fix a boat, fix a truck, find a randomized secret hole in the fence... I mean c'mon.

    The only reason people are going crazy for the game is the aesthetics. Take that away and it is not good. They really missed here, and it's bumming me out. At least I got to play it off Gamepass so that's cool, because I would have been upset if I spent money on it.    … Expand

    Boring, repetitive, tedious. I think that's about all that can be said of this game. It makes players WANT to go back to Friday the 13th and Dead by Daylight.

    As with Evil Dead, Last Year, Predator Hunting Grounds, and Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, this game will be dead in a month.

    If you're desperate to try it, have Game Pass ready. Don't bother with buying it on Playstation.

    Getting sick of these Friday the 13th/DBD clones and we still have Killer Klowns to come. Its just an all around bad game, that was an obviously lazy cash in for the devs. These games based on horror films would be great as an action and/or survival horror, but instead we're spoon-fed this trash..

    This game is complete trash. It massively favors the killers, you‘re insanley handicapped when playing as survivors. if you want to have fun playing as killers is the only way

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I might have a worse review than everybody else, but I think we did not need another game like this. I mean why dont the games follow DBD formula instead of trying to emulate eachother? First "Friday the 13th" then "Evil Dead" and now "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" — these games don't last and we know it. The aren't sustainable and putting an 8 dollar paywall for executions that should've been in the game since start is greedy.

    Game is not remotely related to horror besides the IP    … Expand

    Le falta la verdad pero no está tan mal creo q hicieron un buen esfuerzo pero no fue suficiente no me gustó mucho el gameplay y en una q otra partida se puede sentir algo repetitivo

    Incompetent development team! They don't care what PC gamers think! I will never buy anything from this incompetent development brigade again.

    So, even though the gameplay loop can be a lot of fun, I worry about the longevity of this game's lifespan. With only three maps (that are all kind of similar) and the possibility of not getting much new content due to licensing issues between all of the other films in the franchise, the game might not be around for a long time. Let’s hope that isn’t the case.

    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?

    For those migrating away from Friday the 13th: The Game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could prove to be a welcome alternative. While this new multiplayer horror game certainly shows promise, my earliest hours with the family have been hindered by needless friction. It's occasionally thrilling, but often frustrating.
