Honestly, this might just be the best available slasher video game at this moment, but that's not saying much, it's rather subjective, and I must not forget about Clock Tower on the Super Famicom, as Scissorman would like to have a word.
But back on-topic, this isn't the first game entry of this horror franchise, but rather the third one. Friday the 13th The Game is an online multiplayer game where you can either play as the survivors/victims, or as Jason himself.
Similar in structure to something like Left 4 Dead, or more recently Evolve, the open world and third person perspective take place at Crystal Lake, and players are free to roam or hide from the opposite side. The goal is either to survive or to kill everyone in sight.
What makes the game interesting is that there are various forms of Jason Voorhees available, each with their own strengths and weaknesses as taken from the movies. On the other hand, the counselors can win the game by either escaping or working together to take down the deformed serial killer.
In a way, Friday the 13th The Game is not only fun as a game, but it also celebrates the franchise, and more content is coming up, including a single player mode.
