    A great opportunity gone to waste because of the lack of content, numerous technical issues and terrible servers. It offers great ideas, but they end up at the bottom of Crystal Lake.

    Friday the 13th: The Game shouldn’t have been released in the sad state it currently is in. From glitches that make players invincible to terrible matchmaking that had me waiting over 10 minutes to get into a room, it’s putting it nicely to call the end product a mess. It’s really heartbreaking to see since there are still positives that manage to shine through if one can look past the galling lack of polish. The core gameplay, when it works properly, can be fun when played with friends, and there are some refreshing ideas underneath the jank. Several months from now it may become the multiplayer hit it strives to be, but right now it’s an embarrassing release that can’t be recommended.

    On both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Friday the 13th has been intermittently unplayable. Yes, private matches with friends are sometimes possible, but if you wish to join up with a band of strangers online for a bout of deadly hide-and-go-seek from the comfort of your couch, you're either entirely out of luck or stuck waiting upwards of ten minutes for a match--after days of not being able to play at all.

    The slasher genre's always fascinated me when it comes to the movies. Smart, self-conscious stories that subvert our expectations – films like Scream (1996), You're Next (2011), and Hush (2016) – serve as reminders of the essential purity, and limitations, of the slasher flick. By setting the stage and then forcing the actors to improvise, Gun's Friday the 13th feels like the next bold step in that evolution.

This isn't a true review, considering how i couldn't access the game after release, but this is a warning to whoever is feeling like they want to give this game a try, DO NOT BUY IT! the servers are a mess, either that or they won't work. This developer does not deserve your money or your time, just keep those 40 dollars in your pocket and give it a year until it's fixed. Hope this was helpful.

    I might sound like a cry baby, so be it, i will do what i have to, to let people know the state this game is in.    … Full Review »
