Halloween: The Game

i love it even though its buggy and doesnt have alot of content its still great cause it just came out

jogo é bom mas o friday 13 era melhor

Overall, it is a very fun game to play, with a lot to play for and unlock. I like this about the game, especially since it isn't like Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which had a lot of cosmetics/content locked behind paywalls. There are some issues the game might need a few small balance changes but overall, it is pretty well tuned. My main issue is probably optimization: the game needs to be further improved in that area.

I tried enjoying this game, but I wish more than anything I could just get a refund. This game should be marked as early access. Extremely buggy game for $40, I would not suggest purchasing until the devs at least fix half the game. Extremely repetitive after a couple games, which is another justified reason to not spend a whopping $40 on this. I guarantee in October they will be releasing DLC (Paid) content on top of the expensive price tag. The devs are too incompetent to listen to community feedback, and they are steering ship into the wrong direction, not the direction the community wishes to see it go. Hopefully between the studio, they can rack up enough brain cells and common sense to listen to the players, otherwise, this game will inevitably die within the span of months.

Boogeyman is more like Boogerman because all he can do is pick his nose. Civilians can literally just hold W, not even sprint, or walk in circles around car like DBD and Michael genuinely can't do LITERALLY anything. FInally get a grab? Pocketknife. The game is genuine garbage and should be like $15.

The game can be fun for friends and people who are fans of asym games but it's not for everyone so take this what you will.

This game's design is very self defeating in its mechanics and philosophy. In theory the power fantasy of Michael is to ambush people, appearing around corners and stalk people from places when and where they don't expect it. Instead though, players see exactly what level of stalk they are at, meaning they know when Michael is stalking them, and all of the maps are set in suburban neighborhoods, so all of the players know to run outside if they're ever being chased by Michael. Being outside while Michael is chasing you doesn't feel like he's suddenly appearing around a corner, instead it feels like playing Slender the Eight Pages with him appearing and disappearing around you whenever he's out of sight. Since player encounters devolve into these outside engagements and it's unintuitive to Shape Jump into a place where you can actually grab them, they give Michael reality tear allowing him to appear in someones line of sight with a cooldown attached, allowing him to just appear on players and civilians, but since it's not fun to just have Michael appear on top of you and grab you within the first three minutes of the game, they give players the ability to start the match with a pocket knife, a one per item get out of jail free card, but since any players could be holding up to three of these in a match, Michaels know better and just use reality tear to slash players instead, reintroducing the helplessness the pocket knives were designed to prevent. Now they're nerfing slashing which just reintroduces the problem michaels used slashing to solve. One of the biggest self defeating design decisions however is the main objective for both teams. In any PVP game the most engaging element is directly interacting with the opposing players, but this game opts to make the objectives the NPC's. Both Michael and the Civilian players compete to see how many of these NPC civilians are saved or killed, Michael earning points for killing NPC's, especially the Special target NPC's, and doing Michael-y actions before and after he kills them, with Civilian players tasked to protect these civilians and get them to escape to prevent Michael earning his points. It's an interesting take on the genre on paper but in practice it incentivizes Michael to avoid interacting with human players and focusing solely on the objectives. The only times Michael wants to engage with players are if the civilian player(s) are fundamentally bad at the game or if the NPC's are following them, meanwhile it's not rare to have a civilian game where you never even see Michael. I've had fun with this game, but not for any of the reasons that make this game stand out from others in its genre.
