    Gun media have done it again! The game is much more complex than Dead by Daylight or Friday the 13tht the game. The maps are large and complex you always have several ways to escape the map. And they are hard to learn. The 4 vs. 3 multiplayer has revitalized the genre and it's not just silly button holding at the generator.

SO if you like this type of asymmetrical horror game this is one of the best and played with friend i think it’s the best so far, hope in the future they should add maybe a ranked mode or some type of rank because for the moment there is just the player level and the character lever progression.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre is more like Splinter Cell's Spies vs. Mercs than Friday the 13th or Dead by Daylight. The Exits are essentially the ND133s and I think that the 3v4 is a lot more inviting to the predator-based character and it's a nice change from what we've seen from the cat 'n' mouse genre in recent memory.

    Excelente idea y bien ejecutada.

    El hecho de que haya 3 asesionos es una gran idea. De ese modo puedes jugar con tus amigos como asesino o superviviente,

    Lo malo: Un matchmaking muy malo. Pierdes mucho timepo en encontrar a todos los 7 jugadores. Espero que se solvente pronto.

    Un juego bien pensado, ejecutado y con mucha dinámica al momento de explorar por cada rincón del mapa. Tiene su dificultad pero desde el primer día se disfruta demasiado. Esta es una excelente alternativa para quienes disfrutan de este tipo de juego. Vale la pena invertir ya que ofrece más dinámica, balance, buen Gameplay, terror, suspenso y emoción.

    A must play for fans of asym pvp.

    It's hard to make your own individual stamp on a niche multiplayer genre. So many studios have tried and failed in recent years but Texas is the first one to show real promise. Both sides are fun to play, games are quick and intense and each character is different enough to keep gameplay varied and fun.

    A game really unlike any other, much scarier and exciting than the competition. A lot more versatile as well, it's one of those that you play for a couple of matches and when you check your watch again, four hours have gone by and you're already queing for another round. As this game grows over time, it's only bound to get better.

    Very fun game, especially with some friends.
    Also curious to see further updates on the game, and maybe some seasonal events.

    Also, people saying this game is repetitive basically never played a (multiplayer) game in their life. Because so many games have some sort of a repetitive pattern in their game.

    I have only played family at this point for 30 hours, so this is from that perspective. A fair number of hours more than many RPGs. I find the tug-of-war between securing objectives and victims slowly picking away at them to be very addicting.

    What I don't like is how the progression is monstrously slow. How easy it is to bully Leatherface. Sitting in a lobby forever because no one wants to play Leatherface. Few maps. Johnny being weaker than everyone else unless he uses an animation glitch. How people can pick counter perks as they know which killers they are going against, like bringing bomb squad against hitchhiker- the killers should be invisible at lobby selection. There is no ping system, it should have one as most people do not use comms. Resetting a skill tree over and over to get the correct randomized perk is tedious.

    Some suggestions for this game would be that they give out xp boosts for perks, to keep people checking in on the game, much like how DBD throws out blood points to deal with its grindy progression. Pre-selection of two killers you would want to be before a match starts.

    It's a promising start, however, I'm looking forward to what comes next.    … Expand

    WAY BETTER THAN Friday The 13th’s game…… Great game, if you love DBD you will love this. Instead of 1 insane person.. you can have 3 hunting you down at once !!! Isn’t that exciting?? The stealth in the game is actually useable and you have a higher chance of escape unlike in DBD.

    This game would have been a 10/10 for me but… wasn’t as gory as I thought it would be, I still recommend it    WAY BETTER THAN Friday The 13th’s game…… Great game, if you love DBD you will love this.

    The game left a very good impression. I decided to watch the original movie before buying the game, and later buy the game and try it out. I did not regret buying the game, as the atmosphere and gameplay, if not completely, then almost perfectly fits with the original film.

    Games like that or Outlast trials are very nice thing to play because of the movie vibes feeling which push you to making decisions, stupid one and also the live saving.

    [ THIS GAME IS NEITHER F13 2 AND NEITHER DBD THIS WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE UPSET. ]

    The game is amazing with friends or alone, just pure fun. Only downsides I noticed are that for PC there is no Custom Keybinds and no way to turn off motion blurr.

    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.
