In all fairness, it is more enjoyable than most of the movies. For fans of the franchise, there's plenty of joyous references and a vast amount of violence, most cathartic when you play as an overpowered variation of the much loved villain, Jason. I actually found that playing a camp councillor victim captured the distress of the movies, that sense of dread in anticipating the relentless killer and your own grisly demise.
Pretty good fun for about an hour at a time.

Honestly this was a solid game and had a lot of potential back when it still had a playerbase and wasn't dead, before all the licensing disputes. It was a more casual, less stress-inducing, party game version of Dead By Daylight with more options for escaping and having the ability to fight back against the killer. Had some good times with friends
Will never not play this game every Friday the 13th for as long as these servers will last but ffs this has no doubt the absolute worst walking/running mechanics in any game I've ever played. Playing as a counselor you got two options: run for 10 seconds and then have to stop dead in your tracks for 30 seconds for your stamina to load back up or you can not run and just trudge slower than a damn snail. Seriously, what is this walking? I can forgive the insanely wooded animations and stilted controls that can seriously hinder actions like attacking Jason or driving a car or simply picking up items but the walking annoys me to the brink of insanity. Of course, maybe it's for the best for when Jason kills me for walking too damn slow I have exactly zero remorse and feel no rage whatsoever for my character's death for that's what they get for walking TOO DAMN SLOW.
Despite that, it's a lot of fun. Damn shame about all the licensing disputes preventing this game from being the best it can be. As is, I've never played this and thought to myself that this was released as a finished game and that's why I can't give this a higher score. Still, for what it does have to offer it's still a good time, whether you're playing as Jason or one of the counselors, and I will always look forward to playing this every Friday the 13th.

I normally don't like Multiplayer only games since after a while it stops being fun and turns monotonous, but this game was different since it had so much love and joy leaking out of the corner.
As a Friday the 13th Fan you get some amazing fan services, and as a person who likes playing Dead by Daylight, you get a game that's different enough each round to give you a fun game each time.
This game holds the memory for the most fun I've ever had with friends, that's not to say the game isn't perfect.
I mean the game looks like shit, and it's kinda buggy, but to be fair this is Friday the 13th the movie series that was literally made for the lowest common denominator. They're schlocky garbage movies where you see people die horrifically as you laugh at them. If the game was a super highly polished game with zero bugs it would be nice but it would be weird for a Friday the 13th game.
This game is going offline soon thanks to a fucking lawsuit that's been going on for so fucking long it's ridiculous (thanks Victor Miller). Yeah, they'll still have Peer to Peer but that barely works most of the time so the game will probably die out soon.
It's a damn shame this game is basically getting killed but I hope it will somehow make a comeback, Jason never really dies maybe this game will be the same.
