    Купил на пк, на старте продаж, багов практически не наблюдал, так и на свиче. В школе, на работе, на отдыхе в лесу, да практически везде можно окунуться в атмосферу 80х, графика конечно не ахти, но в портативе сойдет, я все-таки надеюсь на дальнейшие длс и обновление этой игрыКупил на пк, на старте продаж, багов практически не наблюдал, так и на свиче.

    I've played this game for awhile on PS4 and liked it enough to pick up on Switch. If you're a horror movie fan you'll really like this game.

    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.

    I don't generally bother with reviews but thought it was necessary to warn switch owners about this game . I'm also not sure if this only applies to European servers or whether others are having the same problems. So firstly , When you can get a game to play from start to finish ( Not very often at all ) its enjoyable to play, Yes the graphics wont win any awards and its a little clunkyI don't generally bother with reviews but thought it was necessary to warn switch owners about this game . I'm also not sure if this only applies to European servers or whether others are having the same problems. So firstly , When you can get a game to play from start to finish ( Not very often at all ) its enjoyable to play, Yes the graphics wont win any awards and its a little clunky but it has a great tense atmosphere and feels pretty good if you get the parts and escape by car or boat . There is a fair amount of grinding which isn't so bad if you like that kind of thing . Along with a decent selection of maps atmospheric music etc means it has the potential to be really enjoyable . The bad and its really bad , Upwards of 5 - 10 mins mins to find / enter a match (This isnt because of a lack of people trying to play ) , constant disconnects when playing ( all your xp lost ) and glitches in game . I have in a 24 hours period with hours of trying to join games successfully finished around 20 games . This is the first game i where i have contacted nintendo for a refund as i'm not willing to risk £35.99 on a game that may work one day . pretty disgusting to release a game in this condition. Before anyone considers it may be my connection every other game i play on switch or PC is fine . The score of 3 would be 7 or 8 if the game wasn't broken.… Expand

    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.    On paper, this is one of the greatest game ever adapted from a movie or franchise.

    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

    Amazing game of cat and mouse, now portable, further quotation on graphics coming soon. I rated this a 10 to counter the ridiculously low user scores.

    I am still alive und lass „dich“ beide Rollen spielen, krieg es nicht in die falsche Kehle. Für Jason Fans ein Muss, wie immer düstere Atmosphäre und mannstolle Teenager.

    Fantastic game. Been playing it for hours and hours. Might have a couple glitches from time to time but it's a very fun game. Totally worth it.

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

    I'm not gonna lie. The Switch version of this game has BIG problems with it. Bugs galore, frame rate drops, yada yada yada.
    ...but its also so much fun I have over 900 hours on it.
    So yeah, I'm gonna give it a 10/10

    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: Ultimate Slasher Edition represents the culmination of the last two years of development for the iconic masked murderer and his dippy camp counselor victims. As a result, we find a well-balanced and fun asymmetric 7v1 slasher that we can take on the go. The only thing letting this ultimate edition down is the underpowered hardware of the Nintendo Switch. Come for the pure fan-service cat-and-mouse gameplay, but know that it’ll be better on every other platform.
