Lee KM Pallatina (951 KP) rated the Xbox One version of Friday the 13th : The Game in Video Games
Dec 5, 2021
Most of which were hit and miss.... No let's be honest, they were all a miss... Jump forward a few decades and another jab at them has begun.
Friday the 13th is a third person horror game based on the franchise of the same name which puts horror legend Jason Voorhees against a group of (clearly unqualified) camp councillors in a kill or be killed (or just run away) deadly game of killer cat and mouse.
A tremendous improvement on the original outing but with one small yet major downfall... There's no story mode?
Given that today's videogame industry is the biggest its ever been with zero signs of slowing down, its disappointing that something like this could and has happened.
Apart from the missed opportunity, the game itself is pretty much online only, the game regularly cuts out, there is an option to play against CPU's but that takes the fun out of it.
The game is fun when playable though
There is a hint of more to come hidden within the game, so there's hope... But we'll see.
