4 of 4Essentially a pricier Dead by Daylight clone, this hide-and-seek multiplayer-only horror game lets one player hunt seven counsellors as an overpowered Jason armed with teleportation, x-ray senses, and near-instant movement. There's fun, tense escape moments when matches go right, but it's clunky as anything, with dodgy hitboxes, awkward doors, no key rebinding, laggy servers, and third-person peeking that feels like cheating. Not worth full price.
A fun isometric puzzle game that uses the Friday the 13th license well, with Jason kills, film-based levels, and fan nods that show real love for the franchise. New mechanics like the weapon system, daily challenges, and the Killzone minigame keep over 100 levels fresh. The core gameplay barely evolves from the developer's earlier Slayaway Camp, and the price feels notably too high for what it adds.
Fun asymmetrical multiplayer with great mechanics, but released too early as half a game at full price with bugs and glitches.
Fun asymmetric multiplayer with satisfying Jason play; severely content-limited and buggy, feels unfinished.
