Worth Playing
By Andreas SalmenEvil Dead: The Game is clunky but loveable. It's a very good movie-to-video game adaptation, and it's likely as close as we're going to get to a proper and decent "Evil Dead" video game. I had a good deal of fun with it, both as a fan of the movies and as a gamer. It twists a familiar game concept just enough and bolsters it with additional mechanics so that it feels fresh again. Longevity is definitely a concern in terms of content, but at least console cross-play ensures that its player base will stay healthy for a little while.

By Joseph WhitfieldEvil Dead: The Game manages to tick a hell of a lot of boxes when it has no business too. The hammy horror is surprisingly well put together and the balance between good versus evil feels fair during play. The cabin in the woods is lovingly recreated, Campbell’s snarky and witty remarks are out in force and terrorising players as the Kandarian Demon is something any fan can get on board with. Each of the survivor classes offers unique ways to play and while there are a few drawbacks such as the lack of a meaty single-player and camera issues, Evil Dead: The Game is an entertaining, fun game that can be summed up in one, all-encompassing word: Groovy.

By Clare BaileyAre you ready to step in the shoes of Ash Williams and face off against the armies of darkness? In this chaotic co-op PvP multiplayer based on the iconic Evil Dead franchise, you can play as good or evil – team up with three other players, explore, loot and fight as you play as characters from all three original Evil Dead films or take control of the Kandarian demon and hunt down Ash and his friends, possessing Deadites, environmental objects and even other players in an attempt to either kill or stop the survivors from completing their objectives.

By Amanda BlainFor fans of the Evil Dead Franchise, this is a no-brainer and totally worth it. The amount of fan service is excessive, well done, and enjoyable. If you have never watched Evil Dead, there is still a fair amount of fun gameplay here. But will I still be playing this game next year? I'll need some more game modes, characters, and tweaks. In the meantime, it is a groovy good time.

ByEvil Dead certainly does not feel unfinished, but it does seem to be a first step towards something larger. Saber has an excellent multiplayer game that aspires to be a juggernaut in the hobby, and I hope players take notice.
