Evil Dead: The Game (2022 Video Game)
10/10
Beautiful Ode to a Legendary Franchise
15 May 2022
This game is everything I had hoped it would be and more. Its not just another L4D clone or copy of other mainstream horde shooters, instead it has its own identity and is an overall amazing experience for casual players and extra special for enjoyers of the movies.

The game is multiplayer focused but as a solo player I do not see myself running out of content any time soon. There are a good little bundle of solo missions that have their own quests and are completely separate from the core game mode which is Humans vs Deadites. A team of 4 Humans will face off against a team of player controlled or AI controlled deadites and the humans need to collect various items across a surprisingly expansive non linear map to trigger a large final boss battle of sorts. The deadites job is of course to derail the humans. There are multiple ways to play this including private match, public match (pvp), player humans vs AI deadites, or what I've played: solo mode which consists of 1 player and 3 other AI humans vs AI deadites. When I've had enough of the solo missions the human vs deadite game mode is a wonderful way to wind down with some casual slaughter.

Overall while I am very happy with the game I do have a few things I hope to see in the next update that I think could improve it even more: difficulty scale (mainly to increase difficulty), more solo missions (which are confirmed but either way I cant wait for more), more game modes (maybe even a full fledged campaign no matter how unlikely), and maybe some new weapons/enemies sprinkled in but if they didnt do that I wouldnt be mad as there is already a healthy amount of hardware and things to use them on. I seriously cant wait for more updates to roll out for this game and see it improve over time. Thank you to Saber Interactive for delivering this gem to us and taking your time to do this legendary franchise a true service and of course bringing Bruce Campbell back to this iconic role once more for us all to enjoy.
