Happy camping
The 80's spawned a tonne of supernatural horror movies and in doing so a bunch of video games followed.
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.

Another excellent tale in the world of AO
This the 4th "full-length" (though the side quests aren't exactly novellas!) story in the LitRPG series starts of with Jason in his new incarnation as a "Keeper". He has a new set of tools, necromancy spells and abilities to get to grips with, and a new threat to overcome.
For once, the in-game story is split between characters, as we see Jason and Riley take on new training regimes (Jason has finally realised he can't always cower in the background letting his zombies and skeletons do all the work and he has to become better at combat himself), Frank goes on tour to secure the outlying towns of their growing empire, and the baddie Alex plots to get some revenge on Jason for publicly besting him. We also spend time in the real world as a senatorial hearing is opened to look into allegations that Awaken Online may not be safe for its users.
All of the characters develop notably in this book, none more than Jason who has to do some soul-searching, change his in-game role, and also make peace with what the game technology may be doing to his mind and body.
The story is strong, though with a smaller scale in its problem solving than before - the focus is more on Jason and Riley's personal challenges rather than larger quests. It is a little heavy on the admin at times but given how complicated games like this would be that adds to the immersive feel of the book.
The only main gripe for me is the use of the word "tendril" on almost every page, and the occasional use of "overtop" which very much jars when read.
Otherwise, another superb, gripping tome in this online fantasy world.
Next up is Frank's side-quest, hopefully before Christmas (I can't seem to keep up with Bagwell's output and am always at least 2 books behind!).
