    Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a ton of fun, and though it has some issues it has been pretty addicting to play. This is one of those games though that you will get the most out of it if you are playing with friends and using mics, as teamwork is a must. Some great new game dynamics elevate this one above the fray, making it the best asymmetrical horror game in recent memory.

    Sumo Nottingham's fresh take on the asymmetric multiplayer genre is greatly welcomed. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre offers an intense horror experience when playing as the victims, and is equally as fun as chasing them down as the twisted Sawyer family. Faithfully capturing the iconic characters, and what made the original film so great, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a best in class of the genre.

    The skill system and balance are fine-tuned to offer each side a chance of victory, but the current state of the game for this review does come with a few moments of crashes and glitches. None of these take away from the fun and anxiety-inducing matchups players are bound to have.

    A successful multiplayer adaptation of the film franchise of the same name, which suffers from bumpy tutorials and inconsistent matchmaking.

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. I'm curious what content the developers will come up with, but at the moment it's definitely worth the money. Support projects like this if you enjoy the genre… Full Review »

The game is extremely faithful to the first movie from 1974, Genre and a classic game of cat and mouse (3vs4). Three killers (new in the genre) against 4 survivors. It's extremely addictive for fans of the genre, and can get competitive with organized teams. Long live the Texas chainsaw massacre!… Full Review »
