    As it stands now, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a good game with the potential to be great. The multiplayer is fun and exciting, but the game sometimes feels as bare as the bone chimes hanging in the Sawyer family house. Sumo Nottingham and Gun Media clearly have a lot of reverence for the source material, and the two companies have given fans a game that feels true to the license. Hopefully The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will continue to grow and expand in a way that keeps players coming back.

    While The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's longevity will likely be drawn into question - and only time will tell if it will stand tall in the genre six months from now - for now, taking up the mantle of victim and family is raucous and riveting. Maybe this won't be the last hitchhiker we pick up, after all.

    The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has a lot of promise, but it'll need some updates before it can truly be called great.

    At least in terms of content, this Texas Chain Saw Massacre proves that, even as it pays rock-solid tribute to a film classic, fidelity has its limitations.

    Unfortunately, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre loses its appeal gradually when you find yourself performing the same actions over and over again, where every match plays out in the same way, refusing to change things up to keep the drama ticking along. The lack of time limits can make matches drag on laboriously too, so it’s easy for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to wear out its welcome. Ultimately it’s a cool PVP game, but it doesn’t have the fresh ideas to contend with its contemporaries.

    The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a fun and faithful adaptation that captures the terror and despair from the original movie. However, some odd design decisions and a lot of technical issues affect the game in a negative way.

    As a dead by daylight player, I really like the game. The gameplay is really refreshingly different, finally not just running around the pallets anymore.
    I really enjoy gameplay both as a family and as a victim.
    I'm also happy to see that this game is well received by your community, I hope it will get long and good support.
    The game also came out in good condition without a day one patch which is very pleasing, just small problems with the matchmaking and small bugs but that will surely be fixed soon.
    A 10/10 from me for sure!    … Full Review »
