However I do still think this game could be so much more if Victor Miller never took action against Gun Media and Illfonic because of the characters being his. I had a lot of fun with this game and I'm still glad that people are still playing this game today. I give this game a 10/10 because I love Friday The 13th and I know how bad the acting was in the movies but it what made me laugh and went on to play this game.… Expand

   The horror and slasher fan in me was literally giddy with excitement as I sat down to indulge in Gun Media's love letter to one of slasher cinema's greats.
   
   For those not quite in the know (or for those who've grown up under a rock) Friday The 13th is a series of horror/slasher films starting in 1980 and centered around Jason Voorhees, a maniacal killer who drowned as a child in Crystal Lake while the camp counselors shagged like crazy. The first film saw his mother, Pamela Voorhees slaying the new camp staff one by one until she met her demise - and enter Jason.
   
   Jason developed from a lonely, psychopathic survivor who sought revenge for the death of his mother into an undead behemoth seemingly intent on slaying anyone who crossed his path.
   
   Anyhoo, the game!!
   
   Think Evolve crossed with Until Dawn and you're sort of on the right track with Friday The 13th. Seven players take on the guises of the camp counselors - all with their own stats and personalities, and one person becomes the eponymous Jason. His goal is to slaughter them all. The counselors have to survive or escape by repairing vehicles around the map, calling the police in or simply hiding until the time limit expires to survive the night. The only problem? Jason is out to eliminate them all.
   
   Jason has some pretty cool abilities he can utilize and they explain certain aspects of the way he seems to be everywhere or in the right place at the right time in the films. His "Sense" ability allows him to see counselors hiding places which glow a deep red. That might seem like a massive advantage but bear in mind that the counselors can switch radios on or creep slowly to minimize the Sense ability. Play the radio in a cabin and Jason's Sense shows the whole cabin glowing red which means that there is somebody hiding in there - he just can't pinpoint where unless he enters and searches.
   
   It balances out the fairness and means the protagonists have better odds of survival. Sort of.
   
   Jason also has some other pretty cool abilities such as the ability to teleport to a chosen point on the map and a first person POV hunt cam which works similar to the effect in The Evil Dead when the evil force is travelling to the cabin. It's very satisfying hurtling along through the woods towards a glowing red camp counselor and grabbing them as you emerge from the first person POV.
   
   So we move onto the kills. It wouldn't be Friday The 13th without some gruesome deaths and Jason thankfully has some awesome ones at his beck and call. The simple but effective choke and neck snap, ramming a machete down the throat, stamping on the face, ramming the head into a bird bath and then smashing a large stone over their head - the kills are lavish and beautiful and sound savage. It's particularly rewarding to use the hunt cam to fly through the map chasing a counselor and appear in front of them, grabbing them by the throat before uppercutting their head clean off.
   
   Glitches do make the game occasionally annoying - connection issues still occur where you sit waiting to connect to a game for ages. But the love that the developers evidently have for the franchise shows through and with input from Tom Savini, Sean Cunningham and Kane Hodder himself, Friday The 13th : The Game is an exciting and fun jump into the horror set piece.… Expand

   This is another - No Man's Sky! Full of broken promises and hiding behind a lawsuit.
   Gun media was quick to pass the game over to - DarkThis is another - No Man's Sky! Full of broken promises and hiding behind a lawsuit.
   Gun media was quick to pass the game over to - Dark Towers etc and stop and more money from going into this broken mess!
   They say they can't fix the game because of the lawsuit that has nothing to do with them nor the game, it has to do with the first movie etc etc
   They claim they can't even fix the stuff that is already in the game like the cars, trees etc but yet the release the game on another system and then a year latter onto another system the Switch.
   Just save your money and never sent it to this company!
   By the way this IS the same company that is making - The Predator! So you now know that will be a broken mess as well!… Expand
