    Thoughts-
    On the whole, Evil Dead: The Game doesn’t break much new ground in terms of asymmetrical multiplayer games, but what it does, it does mostly well. It’s not entirely balanced or varied, so what you see up front is largely what you get, but I found myself still enjoying cutting the heads off of demons and hearing Bruce Campbell’s one-liners just as much ten hours in as I did the first time. It’s not going to add a whole lot to the Evil Dead lore, nor will it make a dent in the gaming landscape, but for what it is, Evil Dead: The Game is worth your time, if only to have some tense, satisfying fun killing demons and humans alike.    … Expand

    A competent but run-of-the-mill PVE multiplayer game that doesn't do anything noteworthy but will deliver the thrills if you have mates to play with.

    Good game but limited experience. I think for what it is, a 4v1 single map playground, the game accomplishes what it wants to be with a decent gameplay loop. In this genre of game I would increase the rank a few points. Why I gave it a 6 and not an 8. The game has certain restrictions that I believe hurt it in a larger view.

Why I gave it a 6 and not an 8. The game has certain restrictions that I believe hurt it in a larger view. You are only going to get the most out of the game if you have a solid group of 4 gamers playing and it relies on unknown players to fill in the gaps (some people don't have a problem with this but I do). The objectives never change. Their is only one map. Some of the characters need balancing.… Expand

    Despite presenting a number of interesting ideas, Evil Dead: The Game is an experience that quickly becomes monotonous. Not even Bruce Campbell's charisma can exorcise this game of his problems.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a homage to 80s horror and Sam Raimi. It captures the franchise perfectly and you'll grimace and chuckle as the action unfolds. It is excellent as a multiplayer experience. However, solo gamers will find it unfairly harsh and this will frustrate you.

    If you’re a fan of Evil Dead, this game is meant for you. It’s easy to see that the developers are fans of the series as well. Even if you’re not a fan, this game is still a lot of fun. It is one the most balanced asymmetrical game that has released yet. There were a few problems with melee canceling when the game first released, but that exploit has already been addressed in one of the recent patches, so it goes to show that the developers care about balance. The game also has cross-play! If the game can maintain some good download content in the future, this game will be one to talk about and play for the months to come. Just from the start, this game already has “JOIN US” wrote all over it... and if you get that reference, you will enjoy this game the most!
