(mini-review.)

A trash-tier competitive horror game in the same vein as Gun's previous Friday the 13th game, Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a pale imitation of Dead by Daylight that poses 3 Family killers against 4 survivors. All you need to know, however, is that the game is an abject failure. Firstly, the game isn't particularly attractive, nor performant, especially for the visuals you get. Secondly, the game play is derivative of what you would see in a variety of other contemporaries. Finally, the game has only one map to operate in and, worse still, is completely compromised by hackers. A friend and I bought the title and jumped in, played 3 games, fiddled with our load outs and were quickly hacked into incapacitation. Our Family characters were stuck in rotating loops of useless animations.

Some may argue that every game has hackers. This may be true but after decades of online gaming, I can honestly say that this is the first game that I've every played where I ran into a game-breaking hacker in a scant 1.5 hours.

Avoid this trash. The title is effectively unplayable and the toxic experience alone is enough to scare away even the most hardened TCM aficionados.

3/10.
