The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre proves itself as an engaging, intense thrill ride - and one of the best multiplayer games of this generation.
Sumo Nottingham's fresh take on the asymmetric multiplayer genre is greatly welcomed. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre offers an intense horror experience when playing as the victims, and is equally as fun as chasing them down as the twisted Sawyer family. Faithfully capturing the iconic characters, and what made the original film so great, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a best in class of the genre.
Few horror films have garnered such a bloody and macabre reputation as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre series, so it’s only right that a game adaptation be just as terrifying. While fans are used to the plight of the victims in the movies, the game also lets players rev the chainsaw and become one of the dreadful killers that appear in the films. With roots in the horror asynchronous genre, many are quite familiar with the aim of the game, but how does an iconic IP make it it’s own? Give the...
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game is a really fun asymmetrical horror game that has tons of potential.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a joy to play, while there are some minor growing pains, it is more than worth your time and money.
Asymmetrical multiplayer games are titles I have always thought I’d deeply despise, but ended up captivating me with some unique premises over the years. The thing that has always made me wonder if the genre would be indeed fun to experience was how well the developers would balance roles out; we all want to play as the Predator, but they needed to ensure that playing as the stranded marines would be equally enjoyed, or else we’d just get an unbalanced game like Dead By Daylight.

While the fear factor may not go all that far, the gameplay experience in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is smooth as butter and flows like claret from a freshly opened artery.
Though the game's progression system beyond its cosmetics feels archaic and vaguely pointless, when it comes to jumping into a game, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is more fun than could have been expected from it.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre has come into full swing! As the latest team-based horror game hits its first major patch, the family finally comes together. With new survivors and killers, you'll be sure to have a bloody good time!
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fantastic homage to the original film and really shines in its general presentation, but the gaming experience itself proves to be a frustrating one. Combine an increasingly toxic community and the prevalence of cheaters with a distinct lack of maps and variety and you have a game that may well struggle to succeed in competition with the many other titles in the asymmetrical horror genre. To paraphrase the tagline to the movie – will this game survive and what will be left of it?
For those migrating away from Friday the 13th: The Game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could prove to be a welcome alternative. While this new multiplayer horror game certainly shows promise, my earliest hours with the family have been hindered by needless friction. It's occasionally thrilling, but often frustrating.
You better must choose if it’s worth spending your spare cash because it might not be the game for you and it might be for others.
