Sad to see it go

What a great game this has been. This is the best offering that the Friday the 13th franchise has had when it comes to video games. It was really one of the best asymmetrical survival games out there, and there have been many that couldn’t come close to Friday the 13th as well as Dead by Daylight. For all the …

What a great game this has been. This is the best offering that the Friday the 13th franchise has had when it comes to video games. It was really one of the best asymmetrical survival games out there, and there have been many that couldn’t come close to Friday the 13th as well as Dead by Daylight. For all the good times and the raising of my blood pressure, it’s sad to see this one go. I didn’t sink too much time into it over the years but it will always have a place in my heart.

Playing Friday the 13th tomorrow on stream. Got one viewer able to play with me, which isn't an issue...but uh last time I played with randoms, they were throwing racial slurs around and don't want that on my channel.

Despite the hocky mask, this isn't a hocky game!

Had a lot of fun with this game playing with my cousin in 2017. Sad that this game will be shutting down forever soon. Luckily good people are going to be modding this game so it CAN stay properly preserved even when the servers die. Added extra content and unreleased + fan made content also to be released on the …

Had a lot of fun with this game playing with my cousin in 2017. Sad that this game will be shutting down forever soon. Luckily good people are going to be modding this game so it CAN stay properly preserved even when the servers die. Added extra content and unreleased + fan made content also to be released on the modded version. Super exciting stuff. This review was meant to be made on friday the 13th but I'm a bit late. The game dying is also very sad as I still have so many achievements I wanted to get, but now they are bugged and the developers won't fix it.

On the brighter side, I'll have to give this a second review (or edit this review) once I try the modded version next year!

3.5/5

Terrifying Fun

I played this with 4-5 friends who live in different cities and don't see each other that often. So for me this game really worked, despite its flaws and early broken stages. It worked well and was probably patched when we played it the most. Jason is so OP and you really have to work together as the other characters …

I played this with 4-5 friends who live in different cities and don't see each other that often. So for me this game really worked, despite its flaws and early broken stages. It worked well and was probably patched when we played it the most. Jason is so OP and you really have to work together as the other characters to survive, to escape or to kill Jason. When he's after you and you sluggishly runs through a cabin knocking chairs over and he's smashing through the door behind you I find myself literally on the edge of my seat. I mean it really represents the franchise well in my opinion, and it was for free, so I'm not gonna be too harsh here. I'm looking forward to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre one.

Looks really fun with friends despite the low rating it has on this. Also, I love the horror genre and thought the Friday the 13th movies aren’t the best, it’s still cool.

Despite how inexorably broken the game itself can be (usually is), I can’t help but feel like I got more than my money’s worth out of it. The joy of stalking counselors as the iconic Jason Voorhees is hard to beat, even if most of those counselors will inevitably greet you with racial slurs and Mom-based insults. The glitches are …

Despite how inexorably broken the game itself can be (usually is), I can’t help but feel like I got more than my money’s worth out of it. The joy of stalking counselors as the iconic Jason Voorhees is hard to beat, even if most of those counselors will inevitably greet you with racial slurs and Mom-based insults. The glitches are plentiful and the player base is fairly toxic, but as long as you don’t take it too seriously, Friday the 13th: The Game is the perfect choice for a group of friends looking for laughs.

Alright what's going to happen this time? Is half the lobby teamed with Jason, or will the sweater not work, or maybe they added a patch that lets people squat onto the roof, or hey what if a tree spawns on the fuse box, or what if, oh man this would be great, what if Jason spawns on the host …

Alright what's going to happen this time? Is half the lobby teamed with Jason, or will the sweater not work, or maybe they added a patch that lets people squat onto the roof, or hey what if a tree spawns on the fuse box, or what if, oh man this would be great, what if Jason spawns on the host first and crashes the server and somehow also my game? Endless possibilities!
