    Gets repetitive after a while but the grind is quite satisfying, especially when leveling up different characters and skill sets.

    I’ve found it really difficult to find other players in the various PvP game modes so I haven’t really tried them. It’s that badly unbalanced? Great atmosphere, visuals, sounds. Looting gets addictive but doesn’t really add up to anything over matches.

    Gets repetitive as its gets easier, which is a shame.    … Expand

    Not perfect but out of all these horror based asymmetrical games, Evil Dead The Game has got to be the best. I've never played Friday the 13th but I've seen gameplay to know that it's not for me and I've tried my hand at Dead By Daylight too just because I had it free on PS+ but I am not a fan of that game either. Evil Dead however is a **** blast. Can be very unfair and is an unbalancedNot perfect but out of all these horror based asymmetrical games, Evil Dead The Game has got to be the best.

    Can't get enough of it! Heard some leaks about some dlc characters and an army of darkness map so I'm pumped for the future, hopefully Evil dead: Rise gets a release date soon!

    Phenomenal game. I hate these asymmetrical multiplayer games. But this one is special! Don’t listen to these low score user reviews that have no idea how to play it. Kind of comical reading these, haha.

    This game Really really Fun better than Day by Daylight, but don’t play with random people, 70% random are idiots.

    The game is fun, addictive, and unique. The game has bugs but nothing major. The element of randomness in what you will find during the match adds another level of replay ability. The game has some balancing issues but it really depends on how the survivors play. Teamwork is a big part of this game so winning as a survivor requires you to stick with your team.

    The BEST asymmetrical horror game ever. I expected to see a lack luster too early to release mess on launch, but other than some visual glitches and npc patching errors, it was a complete game that already has new content in production. Dead by Daylight got stale after a few years, but Evil Dead: The Game will last for decades and, hopefully, longer.

    Game is fun all round but there’s a few bugs here and there but most games have them on release. Not one moment where you stand there bored out of your mind. Constant action for both sides and I must say it’s way better than blinding someone with a flashlight and running away all game.

    Tek başına sarmayan ama arkadaşlarla baya saran bir oyun. Eğer geliştirmeyi bırakmazlarsa yeni içeriklerle baya uzun süre oynanır.

    A genuinely fun combination of genres that keeps pulling me back in. Only thing I wish was that it’s progression system was faster, but the replayability has been a great counterpoint to that.

    This new game will easily be my best of 2022. For us Evil dead fans, the constant references and fan service is hilarious and enjoyable. Overall the game feels very balanced and even when you lose, you still have fun. Indefinitely buy the game and watch the movies/show, your life will change forever.

    Very fun game to play whether thats solo or with friends. I thought the Friday the 13th was aweful and I find Dead by Daylight boring. This is great. The graphics/sound and gameplay are great!

    Plenty of bugs in this game. But it's highly addictive. Can't stop playing and leveling the characters. If this game gets new maps and updates the bugs then it's a 9!

    Definitely a fun co-op experience, soaked in love for the franchise with plenty of Easter eggs to satisfy fans!

    As a survivor, good teamwork is necessary and as the demon, you'll need to effectively plan for victory. I do feel the repetitive nature of the mission gets tiresome, however I see this as a solid starting base. Saber intend on adding to this formula, very likely with    Definitely a fun co-op experience, soaked in love for the franchise with plenty of Easter eggs to satisfy fans!

    I am very pleased with the game, good graphics, bloody, very good sound with 3D headphones - and a very fun multiplayer experience. Single player seems very hard but it is fun.

    Excellent game with a very addictive gameplay and very nice graphics. Solo missions are a nice addition though they can be frustrating. But the core of the game (asymetrical pvp) is incredibly fun.

    Understanding the joy of the movies, Evil Dead delivers slick matches and buckets of fun, whether you’re a human or something sinister. Groovy. [Issue#16, p.155]

    We'd suggest it might be time to lay the "Dead by Daylight" formula to rest, but you know how these things go in horror movies: it'd only rise again as soon as our backs were turned. [Issue#373, p.112]

    An essential purchase for fans of Ash Williams and the unique blend of gore and comedy that the Evil Dead series has created, this asymmetrical horror game builds on the foundation that games like Dead by Daylight have laid. It might not innovate but there’s a surprising amount of content and replayability in Evil Dead: The Game that raids 40 years of film and television for ideas and puts them to excellent use.
