    The Ultimate Slasher Edition on Switch might not be the prettiest version of the game, and there are a couple hiccups along the way, but the core experience is still an undeniably fun one. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 67]

    Friday the 13th: The Game - Ultimate Slasher Edition serves up a bloody feast that’s a treat for schlock horror fans who want an authentic Jason experience while taking that tricky asymmetrical multiplayer template and making it truly enjoyable. With a ton of extra skins, weapons, signature kills and more this complete edition couldn’t be any more stacked with DLC. Sure, it’s still a little janky, but with servers that are seemingly holding and two years of refinements straight out of the box, this multiplayer gem still knows how to make an entrance on Switch. Mrs Voorhees will be pleased.

    While Friday The 13th suffers from some overbearing technical issues, it’s simply a blast to play. Despite the graphical downgrade, you’re still going to have a blast with the Nintendo Switch version. Just prepare for a glitchy, thrilling, disaster of a good time.

    Friday the 13th nails the feeling of the franchise it is based on. It’s obviously meant to be played online, with intense matches and a survival horror touch.

    This is a feature-packed multiplayer survival horror game, but it’s also an unmistakably downgraded experience when comparing it other consoles.

    If the super long title doesn't stress it enough, Friday the 13th: The Game Ultimate Slasher Edition is the definitive version of the game.

    If you’re a die-hard fan of the franchise, you might get a few nostalgic kicks out of Friday the 13th: The Game. But if you’re simply looking for a horror-themed multiplayer, this doesn’t hold a candle to Dead by Daylight, which itself is coming to Switch next month. Do yourself a favour, and pick that up instead.

    This game is a lot of fun whatever system you're on. Yes it does have glitches and the learning curve learning curve can be tough in the beginning but after an hour or two you'll get the hang of it.

    It doesn't take long to find a game on Switch and I almost always get a lobby in less than 2 mins. Overall you'll have a lot of fun even with the glitches and some toxic members in the community. It's kinda fun to kill toxic councilor players when they're toxic

    Overall I'd but it again at $40.

    Please buy dead by daylight or play deceit online instead, sadly this fun game has zero dev support. I am unable to pick my character and myPlease buy dead by daylight or play deceit online instead, sadly this fun game has zero dev support. I am unable to pick my character and my spawn preference does not affect anything, despite locking in I am forced to play through perma random even after redownloading this game 3 times. On top of this I am level 20 and with the rng perk system I have not gotten the only perk I want and the most essential for all players the ability to start with a map. To sweeten the deal people typically cheat and I have been killed multiple games by a jason/counselor teaming to take a car and run people over, and there is no report system. Lastly I always try to play this with a friend on and the online support is atrocious, it will only put you in a full lobby when you que so you cannot join a friend without wasting +5 minutes and getting lucky.… Expand
