    Stranger Things 3: The Game won’t appeal to fans of the television show as it’s a frustrating experience that reminds you of all of the high points of the third season but never actually reaches them itself. Instead you are stuck with a bunch of dull fights to get through, bland puzzles to solve, and reading pieces of dialogue from the show without any sort of performance by the actors. Don’t tarnish your memories of the third season by playing this.

    I love that Netflix is investing in game development, because many of its properties could potentially use the medium to enhance the overall experience for fans. It needs to do better going forward though. Stranger Things 3: The Game is trash that does more harm to the property than good. It was almost quaint going on a memory trip back to when video games were used to churn out cheap bonus money grabs every time a major film landed, but the industry has moved on from that nonsense, and there's nothing about this game that is acceptable in this day and age.

But man, if you're a fan of stranger things, this isn't a bad purchase at all. The gameplay is fun if not a little wonkey at times due to the sensitivity of exiting the map, but the co-op gameplay has been a blast.for.me and my fiance. If you like the series, you'll most.lilely like this game as well… Full Review »

    How is this game worse than the actual season 3 of the show? That's saying a lot, mind you.
