Though I’ve always been a fan of the concept of asymmetric multiplayer games (a game where you’re not playing with evenly-balanced sides, one side will be more powerful but less numerous) there’s no denying they aren’t for everyone. What really works with pairing this concept with the classic horror series is that it makes pretty well perfect sense that the unstoppable force that is Jason Voorhees is able to match up well with a bevvy of camp counselors and have it make for a fair fight. As Jason you’ll need to wisely use your capabilities (each with their own cooldown) to locate, track down, and dispatch your prey, often in quite a satisfyingly bloody way. As a counselor you’ll certainly want to avoid detection and hide when appropriate but your real goal will be to complete tasks like repair a car to help you drive away or call the police in order to not just live in the immediate future but survive the ordeal as well. As always, online play can and will be a crapshoot depending on when you’re trying to play and in terms of who you may get paired with. If you consider the unpredictability of it all to just be part of the fun though, and can overlook some comically weird and quirky animations at times, there’s fun to be had here if you put in the time to understand its overall mechanics well.
