    What a fun game! It's fun being able to play as victims or the family. I have not experienced any real bugs. I'm very excited for more to be added to this game. This game can become even better.

    Un juego excelente con una buen Gameplay, tiene su chiste al momento de jugar tanto killer como surv. Tiene buen balance, buen Gameplay. Considero que está es una gran alternativa de juego para quienes disfrutan de este estilo ya que ofrece una fórmula única. Tiene buena tensión, emoción, terror y suspenso. Recomendado y un juego que si o si debes de tener en tu colección.

    A real surprise hit, finally a good game again.
    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.

    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!    … Expand

    Beautiful game, really fun and gets addicting. Both family and victim sides seem decently balanced so far so both are very enjoyable.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre is more like Splinter Cell's Spies vs. Mercs than Friday the 13th or Dead by Daylight. The Exits are essentially the ND133s and I think that the 3v4 is a lot more inviting to the predator-based character and it's a nice change from what we've seen from the cat 'n' mouse genre in recent memory.

    Excelente idea y bien ejecutada.

    El hecho de que haya 3 asesionos es una gran idea. De ese modo puedes jugar con tus amigos como asesino o superviviente,

    Lo malo: Un matchmaking muy malo. Pierdes mucho timepo en encontrar a todos los 7 jugadores. Espero que se solvente pronto.

    Dissapointing, Playing as Killer is just walking simulator, 20 minutes of walking, 5 seconds of killing.
    Playing as a Victim is kinda cool, but all you have to do is memorize where are 2 toolboxes and then just open the gate and escape.
    It's a bit intense when Killer finds you and you try to run but that happens 1-3 times in one game. Overall this game is overly boring. But I really like    Dissapointing, Playing as Killer is just walking simulator, 20 minutes of walking, 5 seconds of killing.

    This game will die till the next year comes, if it hadn't already.
    In my opinion, this game would be so much better if it was a singleplayer story game, playing as a Vicitim who tries to escape or even playing as a Killer wouldn't be bad.
    The game wouldn't die because it would be something you can play anytime, without knowing that there are people that know every glitch, every bug and stuff like that and use it against you, and you would just enjoy the story.    … Expand

    WAY BETTER THAN Friday The 13th’s game…… Great game, if you love DBD you will love this. Instead of 1 insane person.. you can have 3 hunting you down at once !!! Isn’t that exciting?? The stealth in the game is actually useable and you have a higher chance of escape unlike in DBD. This game would have been a 10/10 for me but… wasn’t as gory as I thought it would be, I still recommend itWAY BETTER THAN Friday The 13th’s game…… Great game, if you love DBD you will love this.

    The game is "nice", if you play it on the killer side, very easy to kill, I would say, unfair, you can just hit and hit and hit, only using stamina, but you should get a little cooldown wihen you hist, just like DBD.

    A treat for fans of 70s and 80s slasher movies, specifically the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. The game is extremely faithful to the first movie from 1974, Genre and a classic game of cat and mouse (3vs4). Three killers (new in the genre) against 4 survivors. It's extremely addictive for fans of the genre, and can get competitive with organized teams. Long live the Texas chainsaw massacre!

    Graphics, Sound & Acting.
    As soon as I played for the first time ever, the Graphics were absolutely mind blowing. They are very photo realistic. You can absolutely tell the devs worked very hard to make the game look great when it comes down to the character models, hiding spots & the maps in general. The sound in this game will have you shocked as well! Hearing Leatherface near you with his chainsaw or hearing Sissy around you singing & humming is absolutely frightening especially if you dont have eyes on them! Even hearing footsteps will have you overthinking haha! In my opinion, they 100% nailed the sound in this game. Thay leads me to the acting. The Acting in this game is off the charts! Every character in this game perfected they're lines. Hearing Sissy hum as she chases or walks past you, hearing Johnny talk **** while looking for you, hearing Leatherface scream in his bloodlust is absolutely terrifying! Even the Victims nailed their lines as well if though its all fear related lines!

    Gameplay-
    It's absolutely exciting being chased by one of the family members then having them lose sight of you because you blended in somewhere in the dark to even make them walk past you. Although, in my opinion, I have most of my enjoyment as one of the family members seeking the victims to murder them. In this game, atleast as the victim, you will have to learn how to be a brilliant hider because if you do not, you will die everytime by the killer unless he sucks too haha. I'm not as much of a good hider but there has been many times where killers & sometimes the entire family walked right past me without even noticing me because i blended in the dark, hid in closets, in corners or behind items like a table. The game can be dark but thank goodnes you can higher your brightness. As a killer, there are players (who play victims) who will continuously go through cracks or pathways everytime you get close to them which can be a cheat-like move if you're playing as anyone except Sissy, so i do recommend the devs to put a quick cooldown before being able to go through holes or pathways or else players will spam that until a second killer comes to help. Juking (circling around the killer when he launches at you) is also in the game like in Dead by Daylight (this is a good thing for me because its not as cheat-like). Other than that, playing with a friend or friends will make this game even more fun because then you'll always have a plan!

    Pros/Cons
    + Very exciting being a Family Member + Scary & exciting being a Victim
    + Graphics are photo realistic
    + Truely even better with friends
    + On Gamepasssome
    - Could be too dark in some areas
    - Victims can continuously go through the exact same cracks or pathways so that one Killer would never catch them
    - Hard to learn how to play as a victim for some people.

    Rating-
    I do recommend this game especially since its on Gamepass & If you have friends to play it with! If you're a Dead by Daylight fan or even a Friday the 13th fan, this game is definitly for you! I'm giving this game a 8/10    … Expand

    Me parece un juego entretenido y con una ambientación increíble, jugarlo con amigos es simplemente fantástico. Las mecánicas me gustan mucho aunque seria mejor si los movimientos no fueran tan encriptados y más naturales. Fuera de eso estamos ante un juego muy completo y entretenido que aporta muy bien en el catálogo de gamepass.

    All of the problems can easily be patched. The game is not plagued with bugs, but they can ruin the experience for the moment. It’s still amazing how solid the game is overall. Right now, there is no ranked mode. You are paired with other players that are around your current player level however, which is good for balance. This is definitely a game that every Texas Chain Saw Massacre fan should try out. If you’re a fan of Dead by Daylight or Friday the 13th definitely give this game a try. It more closely resembles Friday the 13th, but it plays much better. It’s so very addicting and overall balanced!
