+ Game feels true to the source material and there's a lot of attention to detail in many places. The general atmosphere of the game shows that the devs paid careful attention to emulating the locations from the movies and their respective setpieces. The Virtual Cabin is also a nice addition as a little dev diary for those interested in the making of the game.

+ Customisation is fine and the counselor perk system is an interesting addition as it provides more incentive to play and roll for more rare perks that can help you in matches.

+ Different counselors and Jasons have different strengths and weaknesses which suit your preferred playstyle. You can be a Jason that can run and have more bear traps or a Jason that walks slowly but has more throwing knives and can break down doors a lot faster. On the flipside, depending on their stats, you can be a counselor that can repair things faster or stealth better which makes it harder for Jason to detect them or have more stamina meaning they stand a better chance of fleeing when being pursued by Jason.

- Combat system and hit detection is clunky. Half the time when playing Jason, your weapon will phase through counselors and somehow not register a hit. I've had less problems with hit detection as a counselor though. Throwing knives are a complete gamble whether they hit or not and might even play a hitsound but still not deal damage.

- To be honest, playing as Jason is frustrating in general. Jason Voorhees is notorious for being a 6-something foot tall unstoppable walking tank who shrugs off bullets and weapons like nothing, but more often than not you'll see him being the counselor's personal punching bag as they group up and take turns beating him to a pulp. It makes what should be a stone-cold threatening killer look absolutely pathetic. You will get hit and stunned through windows and doors, seriously their weapons will phase through a door and hit you. Overabundance of pocket knives around the map every game which makes grabbing almost worthless. Counselors will juke around furniture making chasing them look like it should be accompanied with the Benny Hill theme. You'd think if Jason could just burst through doors and walls in rage mode he'd be able to knock over a bloody lamp that the counselor is literally just standing behind.

- Being a counselor is a less frustrating affair, but it still has its issues. Sometimes you will have really uneventful matches where you will either be using stealth and hiding from Jason until the cops come or the time runs out. Other times, you'll be searching around and then suddenly Jason just teleports, breaks your neck and disappears just like that giving you no time to react or at the very least run. Some counselors are also pretty worthless like Jenny, yeah it's great to have a good Composure stat and all but when the rest of your stats are terrible that ability to not get scared easily isn't going to help you much now is it? Also I didn't know that the word 'Luck' meant 'weapon durability' but there you go.

- Game is riddled with bugs and glitches which range from slightly humorous (the ragdolled dead bodies and their physics glitching out) to game breaking (being unable to move or do anything, game freezes and always stays on top so you have to create a new desktop to open Task Manager to close the thing). Unfortunately, most of the glitches I've experienced lean more towards game breaking. I don't think I've even played a single match without at least something breaking. It is unacceptable for a game to be released not in Early Access being priced at £30 with this many technical issues.

- Game is rather lacking in content. There's only a handful of maps which even then are hard to distinguish from each other. The game starts to get really repetitive as each match has the same goal, same objectives etc. There's a few counselors and Jasons that you can unlock via the progression system but the whole game feels like a treadmill with how repetitive it gets. The fun factor just wears off very quickly. A game with this little content should not be priced at £30.

- The community for this game is insufferable. Being a counselor is based heavily on the sense of teamwork which many players do not possess. You will find people teamkilling by running people over with the cars or ditching them by driving off before they can get in. You'll find players being friends with Jason and giving away the locations of other players so he can target them and kill them. You'll find obnoxious people shouting and spamming over the mic. Nobody will work as a team. Either be selfish or get screwed over.

Overall, would only recommend if there is a sale and the price drops to about £10-maybe £15 and if you have other people to play with. Otherwise, don't even bother.
