    The game itself is solid in premise and execution. There are some notable bugs and glitches yet to be fixed by the developer, but the patch is coming soon for Xbox One (Wed 31st May).

The developer greatly underestimated the demand for the game and did not have the proper number of servers to handle demand. Most of the issues across all platforms stems from this issue. Never servers are being put online and the game is flowing much better. I'm sure in the very near future the game will be a popular and top-notch survival horror game. Give it a go, but wait a week or so to give the small development team time to sort out issues. I believe it will be in fact a good 8/10 game to get your hands on soon. Right now it is about a 5 due to the server issues and need for a patch update on Xbox.… Expand

    I'm not sure I've ever been part of a buggier launch. Not only are there ongoing server woes, matchmaking doesn't work, period, if you're on this platform, and furthermore, the game continually crashes, players get clipped inside cabinets for the duration of the game, etc.

    Giving it a 5 is generous, because I don't see the majority of these issues being fixed.

    Those that gave Andromeda lower scores should rethink themselves.

    Just because this is in Indie developer, doesn't give them a free pass. We GAVE them our hard-earned money to make something good.

    Damn, even Mighty No. 9 didn't have these kinds of issues.    … Expand

    Although this game launched with the quick match servers not working (I would wait over 10 minutes or more and no matches were found), once I used the party/looking for group function on xbox one I was able to play! From some of the early reviews I have heard comments such as: it is only fun playing Jason and it is boring playing as a counselor, especially after you die!

From some of the early reviews I have heard comments such as: it is only fun playing Jason and it is boring playing as a counselor, especially after you die! I found this completely untrue. Although I never got to play as the hockey masked villain I enjoyed working together with my team mates trying to survive. Even if you do end up dying, it is fun watching the other counselors and as you do so you may figure out a way to win the next time you play that particular map. The creators of this game did a great job balancing this game! Although Jason is extremely powerful (he is a horror icon after all) there is still a sense of hope that your group might be able to pull it off especially if everyone learns to work together. I have a feeling that Friday the 13th is going to become a cult classic that everyone is going to be playing for a long time to come. If all else fails, it is a great way to meet new people and have some killer fun.… Expand

    The goods defos outweigh the bad in this game and as horror games go this one is one of a kind. You start out with 8 players, one playing as Jason and 7 others as concillors from rejected stereotyoes. Each of them have to try and get to escape via boat, car or by the police or by hiding but this NEVER works. Jason has to salughter each of them in various gruesome ways by body parts,The goods defos outweigh the bad in this game and as horror games go this one is one of a kind.

Jason has to salughter each of them in various gruesome ways by body parts, stabbing or others.

    The game is clever as there is a good bit of strategy involved if you want to go it alone or work together all the while grabbing items trying to feebly stave off Jason from brutally murdering you.

    That's the gist of the game and the detail in the game from the developers shows they care about it a lot (well at least they did but more on that later). The amount of nuggets and easter eggs in the game is amazing. There is also the single player with side missions and the head scratcher that is the virtual cabin.

    Where the game lacks is the glitches there is some bugs that can ruin the game but they are very light now. The other thing is that despite the fact that it was meant to have more DLC on the way, the company has decided not to add the Grendal and Uber Jason despite the fact it was meant to be added.

    Overall a solid 9/10, very enjoyable. November 2018 for a more up to date review.    … Expand

    Que mas puedo decir, es el juego que todos los fans de Jason queríamos, simplemente más de 500 horas de juego es por algo, si tiene sus bugs y lo malo es los usuarios tóxicos como los tramposos que se unen a Jason, pero fuera de eso es un juego que me ha gustado mucho, si no fuera por la demanda tendríamos mucho más contenido pero la empresa hace lo que pueda ya que no es una empresaQue mas puedo decir, es el juego que todos los fans de Jason queríamos, simplemente más de 500 horas de juego es por algo, si tiene sus bugs y lo malo es los usuarios tóxicos como los tramposos que se unen a Jason, pero fuera de eso es un juego que me ha gustado mucho, si no fuera por la demanda tendríamos mucho más contenido pero la empresa hace lo que pueda ya que no es una empresa poderoso como CAPCOM o Nintendo , veo muchos malos comentarios que supongo fueron de inicios del juego cuanto tenia miles de bugs y muchos de ellos de los peores, yo que hago mi reseña en Junio del 2020 puedo decir que no me arrepiento de comprar el juego y que lo he disfrutado tanto que decidí comprarlo en Switch para empezar desde 0 el juego… Expand

    Nice game. Way better than dead by daylight with those baby's who wait by the exit to be childish.
    Great that this has multiple Jason's with different outfits and weapons and great counselors from the movies. Just one point Jason is almost unkillable that makes it too touch for the counselors.

    Gran juego, recrea muy bien los escenarios de la película, te mantiene en tensión cuando huyes y disfrutas cuando eres Jason y asesinas a los monitores. Está en desarrollo y poco a poco van aumentado el juego y su catalogo de manera gratuita.

    Friday The 13th is great! It has excruciating glitches sometimes but it is indie. I love this game, the experience is very fun. I recommend getting a bunch of friends and playing this. Have fun playing!

    Quite buggy sometimes but is a very fun game. I liked the offline play options.

    Bugs aside, this trip to Camp Crystal Lake is a bloody irresistible delight. [Sept 2017, p.73]

    It’s been more than 30 years since the Friday the 13th franchise launched, and nearly 30 since the last game was released. While graphically and technically superior to the 1989 NES game, gamers now have higher standards, and unfortunately Friday the 13th hasn’t lived up to those. A myriad of bugs, server issues, and gameplay glitches plague the summer camp, and at times it feels like Jason isn't the only problem you need to worry about.

    Friday the 13th: The Game invites us to survive a night in Crystal Lake. We must flee as campers or kill if we are Jason. Although the idea is a good one and the matches are fun, there isn’t content enough and in the technical aspects the game aren't up to snuff.
