Really nice visuals, fights, and music! I have been enjoying this game very very much and recommend it for anyone who has any interest in high level raiding for MMOs, it's been really interesting recognizing some mechanics as they go off as I'm learning FF14 savage raids at the same time right now, but there's also plenty of new things as well!

Emerald Lakeside music is so peak btw

Horrible recent changes make playing this game not worth it.

I hope that this game proves VR games can be very good instead of just gimmicks and more developers look into this... I only played for a short time but it was really enjoyable, only had to stop temporarily because motion sickness.

probably the only EA game i can wholeheartedly reccomend, plus a crap load of mods with an active workshop community that add tons of content.

Really a classic in the genre, no games can match the two button interface where i only press one, the quit button.

Ive played this game a while and i still get lost and spooked. 10/10

I was playing this as a meme and now im spooked and feel bad.
Play the game goons

TL/DR: Refund and bad review bandwagons are usually left by people who don't learn the game enough, or due to bugs that they are trying to fix. Great for the interaction with friends or new people, can be stale in a game where nobody talks. Up to you if you think its worth $40, for me it was.


This game has it's issues in its current form, which admittedly some should have already been fixed, however alot of them are understandable.
People complain about Jason being OP, or how he can instantly teleport to you and hit ya for free. The issue is, people hop into the game and don't learn. They end up refunding after getting whooped once because they run, make a boat load of noise, and don't realize how fear works. Most of them will also most likely end up with Vanessa since she is the default, and she has terrible stats other than her speed. Nobody really gives this game a chance once they hop on the refund bandwagon or just write bad reviews, (which is totally understandable if you just CAN'T connect, I would be angry too.)
They are trying to fix the servers right now and I believe they are saying even though your progress is not shown, they are still tracking it so you will still get your XP and CP.

PROS:
- Great interaction between people sometimes. When you get in a lobby where everyone or atleast 5-6 people have voice chat, it can be a blast. I have met some interesting people in my fair share of 17 hours in the game, some playing music as Jason, people genuinely working together, or people who scream at Jason when they die or are running away. (The best part when you are playing Jason)
- Great use of music and sounds while playing. The music can be intense even while Jason isn't near you, keeping you on your toes while he maybe hunts down someone else, and suddenly you can hear their last dying scream as your music ramps up. Generally though, it gets much less scary when you learn the tracks that tell you to GTFO, or ones that are just there to keep the you on your toes.
- Lots more to do that in other horror games of its type. In dead by daylight generally you are just going around for generators, or praying for that one lucky trap door to save your life. On the other hand, in F13 you have much more to do: Fix up one of (one or two) cars on the map, a two seater if jason is near the other, or you just wanna boogie ASAP, and the fourseater. Fix up a boat and try to snag a victory before Jason drowns you. Call the cops and pray that they spawn at the highway exit near you, and also calling Tommy Jarvis.
- Variety in escape once Jason finds you. There are a good amount of weapons, some being much better than others that you can use to stop Jason and run, or barricade future escape spots in houses.

CONS:
- 3 Maps for $40 is quite steep, even if I enjoy them.
- Only a few Jason parts are really viable if you are trying hard. (Specifically 3 and Sackhead, while 6 is probably the most balanced and fun to play/play against IMO.)
- If nobody interacts very much with eachother, it can get stale.

MIXED:
- Some people experiencing connection issues, although I haven't other than saturday night while servers are expanded (FIXED)
- Perk and leveling system currently broken, or very occasionally working. (FIXED)
- Lots of occasional screwing people over if you find someone who is a bit rude, or you are in a tight spot. (Hey, maybe thats your thing, who knows.)
- Some of the people you meet are damned awesome, or are people you would not really want to meet ever. For example, ive had lots of people sacrifice themselves for a couple people to drive away, or get away in general while at the same time ive got the N bomb dropped on me by some Japanese person (nothing wrong with that, just thats basically the only word he knew in English lol)
