Friday the 13th Jason Gameplay

Camp Crystal Lake is a staple in the horror genre. You can’t make a list of survival games without including Jason Voorhees, the machete wielding nightmare of campfire legend.

I’m used to these kind of games being all about survival, like Five Nights at Freddy's or Resident Evil. One of the defining characteristics of this asymmetrical horror/survival game is instead of just playing the hapless teenagers trying to solve puzzles, you can play Jason Voorhees.

While the counselors are rushing to repair items in the game to escape the map, Jason strolls around trying to find his next victim. You break down doors, stalk your victims, and slay other players with an axe or your signature machete.

Another option is to play one of those hapless teenagers. Your job is to get out. Either repair a car, a boat, call the cops, or just survive the night. Sadly though there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to where the items are so playing as a teen means randomly searching under every bed and opening every drawer. For me that wasn’t terribly interesting, even while being chased. This game improves by leaps and bounds every time you play Jason.

You can wield Jason's standard machete or something else like this axe. 

Sometimes you won't have a weapon on hand so make creative use of your environment to kill the pesky teenagers.
