Friday the 13th for the Switch!
Huge horror movie fan especially from the 80s. Enjoy horror genre for video games as well. This was a no brainer. They need to make a Halloween horror game as well!

Frightful Fun
I have been a fan of the series a long time and this game was a blast to play with friends. Whether your playing with the camp counselors or Jason, you will be having fun. It’s not perfect and does have some glitches that need some fixing but the game is playable and a joy for any horror fan.

Friday the 13th Nintendo Switch
Love this game! If you are a fan of the movies you will defiantly love this game and the locations! Takes a while to get used to the gameplay but otherwise pretty good!

Good
Pretty good and worth a $30 purchase. Graphics are not that great, but to be honest Friday the 13th on all other platforms doesn't look that pretty either. The frame rate is mainly consistent, and for the most part it runs well. There are a lot of bugs with AI, but I own this game on the PS4 and it's riddled with bugs as well. The fire is cool, the offline modes are fun, but wish there could have been more content, but online is fun. I would say raise the brightness when you play, otherwise default settings is a little too dark. Not bad. Not worth $40 considering the same edition is cheaper on other platforms.

Lots of fun online!
I have heard about the Friday the 13th game since back when it was first announced. When they finally released a Switch version, I had to pick it up. The majority of the game is online. There is a single player campaign where you play as Jason in scenarios with objectives (kill the counselors without being seen, throw someone into the fire, etc) and you can replay them over and over to try to complete all of the achievements and earn points you can use to unlock new costumes, weapons and skills. Just note...there is no single-player experience where you can play offline as a counselor. You are strictly stuck with Jason. The development team has stated that getting the AI correct for Jason was impossible and would have made the game feel broken, so they stuck to only giving you control of Jason. However, online is a completely different story! You can join lobbies or get randomly paired into a lobby for a quick match. Only one person will be assigned Jason and the rest are counselors. I honestly don't know who I prefer to play as more online as both Jason and the counselors have their own sets of skills and gameplay styles. As a counselor, you can choose to work together or try to play on your own. There is voice chat so you can talk to others and try to form strategies...sometimes you need to get gas and find the car keys so you can start the car and escape with your friends. You may also choose to radio for the police and try to survive until they arrive. All of these options make the counselor fun and then being hunted by Jason adds terror the entire time...you never know where he will pop up! All in all, I bought this game for $20 and then used a $5 reward, so I ended up paying $15 and feel it's well worth it! If you are on the fence, hold off on a good sale as I think you'll be in for a real treat!
