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.

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. The game...

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.

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 Chain Saw Massacre is a joy to play, while there are some minor growing pains, it is more than worth your time and money.

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.

Gun Media’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre shines in its unique yet faithful and genuinely scary adaptation of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre film. Honoring fan-favorite characters (like, of course, the ever-iconic Leatherface) and brand-new introductions that don't at all feel out of place, TCSM seems like it might be a mainstay in the asymmetrical horror game world.

A delightfully macabre homage, this asymettrical horror could finally threaten Dead by Daylight's crown, if you didn't spend more time fighing the servers than Leatherface himself.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a killer game for fans of the asymmetrical horror genre, thanks to its beautiful maps, varied gameplay, and unique 4v3 balance. Faithful to the 1974 movie, this one is a pleasure for horror fans, but whether it can stand the test of time like the film itself remains to be seen.

It’s safe to say that our time with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre so far has had its ups and downs. We’ve generally loved playing as a killer, using our various skills to hunt down and execute unfortunate victims. Playing as a victim, however, our feelings are more complicated. Getting slaughtered while having no idea where you should be going or what you should be doing isn’t particularly enjoyable, though thankfully things do pick up once you’ve learned the maps a little. The sometimes finicky contextual actions and troublesome matchmaking remain, though, and the latter is only likely to get...

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (2023) video game is out now, and though we did gain review code a few days before release, we weren’t really able to test things out properly until post-launch.

…The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a game that thrives on its dedication to not just replicating the Slaughter Family (which it does excellently) and planting easter eggs but on its goal to expand on it all. By using a unique storyline, the developers at GUN highlight the importance of honoring the source material and the necessity of making something unique from it.

Most readers should be familiar with what an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game is. It's a genre that's become famous thanks to one particular game (that will be the subject of many comparisons in this review), Dead by Daylight. In the genre, players learn the definition of teamwork (and suffering) while trying to escape the villain's clutches. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one game that fits this genre, for better and worse.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre differentiates itself well from other horror multiplayer titles, channeling the brutality of the films with some unique gameplay despite the various issues.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a splendid new entry in the asymmetrical multiplayer family. Its recreation of the characters and locations from the 1974 movie is deeply impressive, as it’s abundantly clear that authenticity was a top priority during development. It helps to enhance the exhilarating gameplay, though I do worry about its approachability given the deep systems and mechanics. Regardless, it’s one that I look forward to playing both casually and competitively with friends whenever I want a good scare.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game does not just use the horror franchise as an aesthetic but builds its core mechanics around the film's essence. The cinematography, music, and tone have been studied with religious fervor to recreate the macabre world Tobe Hooper created almost 50 years ago. Moreover, the gameplay and character progression give it the "just one more" feeling that is severely missing from other asymmetrical horror titles. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game transforms the iconic...

It’s not a flawless game, but the anguish and thrills that it conveys are almost one of a kind, delivered with confidence and brutality to match the source. This is one for horror aficionados and everyone else who likes a good old-fashioned game of murderer cat, and stealthy mouse.

The review you are about to read is an account of the tragedy that befell a group of six youths, in particular Ana Flores and her sister, Maria. It is all the more tragic in the fact that they were young. Maria Flores has seemingly vanished without a trace. With no physical evidence to be found, the investigation has stalled. Hope has begun to slip through her loved one’s fingertips. Though, any grief or sadness caused by Maria Flores’ disappearance would pale in comparison to the mad and macabre that Ana and her friends would find along their way. The...

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has the right tools to be a very enjoyable asymmetrical multiplayer experience, but it starts with so many hurdles that many might not make it to the fun parts.
