    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.

    Tremenda joyota!!! Una fórmula nueva y auténtica tiene mayor suspenso, diversión, emoción y terror. Considero que está es una buena alternativa de juego para quienes gozan de este estilo. Vale la pena invertir por esta joyota y esperamos metan más contenido para disfrutar. Lo he disfrutado mucho y tiene un Gameplay bueno, balanceado y con dificultad para pensar bien cada movimiento.

    This game is an absolute blast to play and a total love letter to the original film. The graphics, sound design and tone are perfection. The gameplay loop is challenging yet hugely rewarding once you master it. The balance between The Family and Victims feels very well placed.

It’s a brilliant start for the game and I hope it has a long future ahead. Kudos to Gun and Sumo for creating an amazing video game and paying homage to a beloved franchise.… Expand

    A treat for fans of 70s and 80s slasher movies, specifically the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. 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!

    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.

    This game is amazing. Well-balanced and polished at launch. Best assymetrical horror game on the market. Much better than F13 and DBD. graphics are very good. Maps and atmosphere are cinematographic. This game is just well thought at many levels

    The game is "nice", if you play it on the killer side, very easy to kill, I would say, unfair, you can just hit and hit and hit, only using stamina, but you should get a little cooldown wihen you hist, just like DBD. Of course, scaping as a survivor is also very easy if you don't care of things being a killer, but they could just make it a bit harder for survs to open doors in exchange ofThe game is "nice", if you play it on the killer side, very easy to kill, I would say, unfair, you can just hit and hit and hit, only using stamina, but you should get a little cooldown wihen you hist, just like DBD.

I just can't handle some matches that I last less than two minutes because i can't just scape of them or because someone instantly opens the basement gate so I have the rest of the family on me.… Expand

    Broken, not fun to play and originality has been sacrificed to created a million Evolve/Dead by Daylight coop-multiplayer clone games.

    Why developers loophole the system and make the consumer beta test games, instead of indicating it is an Early Access build, I don't know but it needs to stop.

    The very best that the asymmetrical genre has to offer! Not as clunky and convoluted as Dead by Daylight, but still plenty of depth for players to enjoy.

    Wish the game released with more content, but it is really fun. I never found myself getting bored of the game (I have 30 hours invested). However, I hate Gun media's trend to make trophies an unnecessary grind and in some cases impossible (its like they didn't lean with Friday)

    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 itWAY BETTER THAN Friday The 13th’s game…… Great game, if you love DBD you will love this.

Also I forgot to mention in a previous rating… the finding a match is realistically quick unlike in DBD if you pick one of the family. Now get out there and slash some people up !!!!… Expand

    I thought victims gameplay would be fun.. no point to wait 5 min in lobby and die asa the game starts.. family players are mainly oppressed dbd killer mains so they do their best to ruin it for the victims..shame..dbd community ruins every game they touch..shame

    Great game it keeps me on edge and is way better than dead by day light. It’s basically dead by daylight on steroids

    Really fun game wish they would add a few more ways for survivors to escape that area seems a bit bland. It's also more fun than ever to play as a killer!! After a few updates I'm sure this game will only get better.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre offers solid co-op gameplay, but the problem is that not enough players appreciate it enough to keep the servers busy, and even though it's very entertaining it may not survive long enough to be worth your money.

    After the very nice Evil Dead The Game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre proves that we can adapt a legendary work without destroying it. The game is clearly a nice homage to Tobe Hooper's cult Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We find all the ingredients of the feature film between the locations, the objects which become mechanics (chicken cages, bones etc.), the grain of madness that we can have during certain parts and characters who are more careful than in the usual for the genre. Playing as a member of the Family is inevitably easier, but being on the Victim side brings another tension. A good immersion in this universe, and that of asymmetrical horror games, but which suffers from its blatant lack of content, the animations and modeling of the characters, and its too clean image. It would clearly have been necessary to dirty the visuals to further improve the atmosphere. If you're a fan and you start it, you should enjoy your few games, but for how long?

    The game is extremely faithful to the film which is an equal plus. What helps well in gameplay is that the maps are very well designed and the game has the necessary depth through the skill trees, which adds to the gameplay. At the same time, the content is quite limited and the game has some balance issues, as well as technical issues. As a result, the final result does not come out optimally. Despite these points, the game is worth a try for fans of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
