    Friday the 13th is potentially the greatest video game made in history. The ahead of its time graphics, compelling and addictive gameplay, insanely quick server and loading times, incredible soundtrack and spine-crawling sound effects, and a wide arsenal of content that is so addicting you will put thousands of hours into the game without even realizing it! 3/10

    It's kind of a huge mess but I still sunk over 100 hours into it. As a fan of the series that must count for something.

Sad they couldn't keep going with content due to the lawsuit battle over movie rights. But this was a small independt group with a passion for f13 (which I do as well) and made a game that was unique, yet granted flawed technically (and sometimes unplayable in the beginning), and kept me coming back for years.… Expand

    Con’s:
    - Lawsuit ended the game way too early
    - A host of bugs are present
    - Jason seems extremely overpowered at times
    - Facial animations and character models
    - Barely any map differentiation
    - Grindy trophies that won’t even be achievable soon.

    I had fun with this game with friends but sometimes it felt like a buggy mess and nothing more than a cold cash grab, hiding away from Jason can be pretty fun at times, and I love how intense the game gets, but apart from this the game doesn’t do much for itself, but this could probably be down to the lawsuit that’s been going on for a while, though I still feel like they should work on the game, if you’re thinking of achieving a platinum trophy on Friday the 13th, then prepare for hundreds of hours of misery if playing by yourself, cutscenes repeat themselves and the facial animations can be downright terrifying at times, if the game had some polish it could genuinely be a lot of fun, but in its current state and with dedicated servers closing in game it doesn’t seem like we’ll be getting that.

    Looking for a fun night in and like getting some virtual balls dropped in your face or betrayed by teammates who either kill you or help Jason find you? You'll love this.

    When those other things aren't happening, it can be fun for a few rounds.

    Friday the 13th: The Game is a very special game. It follows the movies very well to the point where it feels like you're playing one of the movies! The game is rough around the edges (some of the animations look very odd for example!) buuuut... it's still a good experience overall! Should you buy it? That depends.

    This game is always a fun time. Sadly new content could not be made due to a lawsuit over the franchise in general, but thankfully that didn't stop the community nor the developers from totally abandoning it.

    The game is at its best when those online multiplayer matches make you feel like you are part of the movie. That sudden burst of excitement when Jason is using stalk and comes up out of nowhere and the music intensifies.

    The game is balanced enough. In games like these it is often the survivors that are OP and the killer is a bit weaker. This mostly avoids this trap. You could have a match with a dominant Jason or a match where the counselors are well coordinated enough to beat Jason.

    You will run into some toxic players or trolls from time to time but that is with any online game. The only major downfall is the bugs and glitches and how slow the team is to get them fixed. Thankfully as the game has been updated there hasn't been anything totally game breaking but rather an annoyance of sorts. They still have a two or three more patch updates to roll out so they will at least leave it in a playable state when they abandon the game.    … Expand

Not because it actually does anything all that different from its competition, but rather the simple fact that it's based on one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time. The faithfulness to the property alone made it more enjoyable for me than the likes of Evolve or Dead by Daylight, despite those also being decent games in their own rights. Yet, being better than the rest doesn't mean that Friday the 13th managed to escape all of the problems that these kind of games are accustomed to. So the amount of fun you'll have will still vary wildly from match to match.

    I found playing as a counselor to be the more consistently entertaining of the two options. You're given a lot of different ways to survive Jason's onslaught. A bare bones tutorial means that you'll have to figure out most of this stuff on your own, but discovering how all the different things you'll come across in the environment can be used to aid in your escape or defeat of Jason can be very satisfying, tense, and rewarding so long as you aren't killed at the beginning of the match and get to participate in putting all of the pieces together at least a little bit. Which kind of leads to the biggest problem on this side of the game. Playing as a counselor is obviously designed with teamwork in mind, but as anyone with any experience with multiplayer games will tell you even while being chased by a nigh unkillable brute in a hockey mask it's often your own teammates that will be your worst nightmare.

    Coming across a group of high level players that like to hog all of the good stuff for themselves while berating the less experienced around them who are just trying to participate is no fun whatsoever. Mix that in with the game's already steep learning curve and one or more bad encounters like that could turn away some newcomers. Now, not everybody will have this problem. There are those who will come across longtime vets who are more than happy to show them the ropes. Unfortunately, it will just come down to luck of the draw as the big trade-off that comes with going online in any form is that at some point you're going to come across a jerk or two. I'm not saying that the asymmetrical multiplayer genre is more prone to these kind of encounters, but when the most enjoyable experiences I've had with these types of games were in matches where nobody was wearing a mic and we were all largely doing our own things, well, that should tell you something.

    With the offline option being plagued with AI so bad it's outright unplayable, those wanting to go strictly solo are going to have to hope they get selected to be Jason. While it can be a lot of fun to rampage your way through Camp Crystal Lake leaving a trail of bodies in your wake, I did find that this side had the more flawed gameplay. Asymmetrical multiplayer games require a delicate balancing act of meticulously designed and interlocking systems to ensure that things remain fair on both sides of the experience. So it makes sense for the counselors to have a significant speed and mobility advantage over Jason considering that he's basically a walking, invulnerable death machine, but I don't see why his movements and controls had to be so stiff and clunky. This is somewhat offset by the variety of abilities at your disposal that vary across the handful of film incarnations you can play as, but those are rendered useless when faced with a player that is content to cheese the game by jumping in and out of windows repeatedly or running around a table until the clock runs out.

    At it's best the game is an absolute blast. A lot of attention to detail was put into recreating the look and feel of the films, allowing it to pull off the tension and thrills of a good '80s slasher flick a nice portion of the time. The problem is that the experience is so darn inconsistent due to things like the stiff controls, connection issues, glitches, or potentially getting paired with toxic players. Because of that I can't wholeheartedly recommend it no matter how badly I actually want to.

    On paper, this is one of the greatest game ever adapted from a movie or franchise. It would be awesome really if another company was in charge of this. Unfortunately for us Gun Media is probably the worst video game company ever, barely unprofessional and don't care about how broken the game is.

    Full of glitch and with a toxic community for the most part, the game is barely unplayable. When you can finally find a party and you'll not be stopped by technical issues, you found only morons trolls who have fun by doing crap all the party. But until the recent update this was still possible to play or at least expected to play. Now Gun Media have simply pulled out most of the bandwidth from Ps4 users to give it to their customers on Nintendo Switch. That's totally inappropriate and is a real bull**it since the game is initially intended to be a Playstation / PC / Xbox game not a Switch one that only emerge recently.
    The game is basically dead now both on Steam and Xbox and will be soon receive the same treatment on PS4.
    Additionally the Switch version is so ugly and have the same technical issues as the real game versions.
    The devs are also lying by some statements as they can't add anymore new promised content due to the legal issues between copyrights olders and writer from the first movie. The fact is copyrights older have clearly stated that they don't want to stop these updates and these cancelled updates are in no way associated to the legal issues. So the devs are just too lazy to add the promised content to original users and focusing on the new cow cash from Switch. They even give new created content to Nintendo customers instead of delivering what they promised.
    This kind of company must not be supported, don't be fooled by these scammers by avoiding this game. This is really sad since without this awful behavior the game would be a hit.    … Expand

    Friday the 13th: The Game is the closest you are ever going to get to being in a Friday The 13th movie. It's so realistic that I had goosebumps every time I saw Jason. However if you are playing alone it can get a little boring at times, and that makes me wish that there was a decent single player mode But with its authenticity this is the best Friday The 13th game that we may ever have and it will make every fan very happy.
