Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed: fans of Halloween and asymmetrical horror enjoy stalking Michael and the atmosphere, but many find it buggy, poorly optimised and not worth its full price in its current state.

Many players enjoy playing as Michael: his shape jump, shadow mode and stalking of civilians feel like the films, and the Haddonfield setting, the characters from the 1978 film and the voice work create a strong atmosphere. Civilians can fight back, arrest Michael and help NPCs escape through several routes. Many complaints centre on performance: low frame rates, janky animations and movement, crashes, NPCs that freeze or fail to follow during escapes, and challenges that cannot be completed. Some players find the single-player story short and mainly a tutorial. Others object to the full price, to paid civilians and content added soon after release, and to cosmetics that take long to unlock. Recent reviews are more critical of balance after the latest update and of monetisation, while many older helpful reviews praise the game despite its bugs and ask for patience. Steam's totals show a mixed picture.

Praised

  • Playing as Michael

    Stalking, shape jumping and shadow mode make Michael feel like the films and reward patient, stealthy play.

    Many players
  • Haddonfield atmosphere

    The recreated town, classic film characters, music and tension give a strong Halloween feel.

    Many players
  • Civilians can fight back

    Civilians can arrest Michael, use weapons and escape by several routes, so they are not just victims.

    Some players
  • Similar to Friday the 13th

    Reviewers who loved Friday the 13th: The Game find the loop and chaos familiar and welcome.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Performance and bugs

    Low frame rates, janky animations, crashes, NPC glitches and broken challenges appear in many reviews.

    Many players
  • Price and paid content

    Players object to the full price and to paid civilians and cosmetics added soon after release.

    Many players
  • Grind and short story

    Cosmetics and challenges take long to unlock, while the single-player story is short and mainly a tutorial.

    Some players
  • Balance and unfun matches

    Recent reviews say the update made Michael weak against squads, and some matches feel repetitive or unfun.

    Some players
Who it suits
Halloween fans and players of asymmetrical horror like Friday the 13th who accept bugs and want a stealthy, PvPvE experience.
Who should skip it
Players expecting a polished, Dead by Daylight-style competitive game, or anyone unwilling to pay full price for an unfinished release.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours are more critical of balance changes, repetitive matches and the grind, while newer players mostly praise the atmosphere and Michael's stalking.
