I felt compelled to write a review for this game. Unfortunately it's not going to be a pleasant one.

This game was clearly released unfinished. It more than lacks in several areas that should have been polished before relase - here are the most glaring:

1) The biggest glaring issue: No partying with friends unless it's a private unranked game. This wouldn;t be so bad if the game wasn't fun only when you had a full party of 5 playing unranked, otherwise it's a boring mess. In the ranked games you are paired with complete randoms all of whom play with a Call of Duty sense of mind that they can solo the world and not bother lifting a finger trying to save a teammate. I have died countless times sacrificing myself to save a teammate or throw myself in the way of a killer and blind him only to havve myself get in a pinch later and everyone scattering to the wind.
2) No in-game chat. You might say this one was done on purpose, but when the game has a MAJOR cripple as stated in point #1 this is a necessity. They could have at least done it creatively - in-game walkie talkies that give off a noise range that the killer can here when he's close - easy to implement and effective until they fix the multiplayer partying.
3) Completely broken lobbying. This is probably one of the most frustrating issues with this game. You will spend a good few minutes just trying to get the game to ALLOW YOU TO PLAY. You click on 'Find a lobby' and the game responds with 'Failed'. Rinse and repeat a few times and then the game starts to act like it's loading to a lobby and then... you're mysteriously backk at the 'Find a lobby' screen? Click on 'Find a lobby' again and you might finally get taken in to a game with players! Everyone clicks on ready... game countdown has begun... grip your seats for a fun ride... WAIT, LOBBY CRASHED! Yeah, do that three or four times in a row and your patience for this game will have been destroyed.

It's unfortunate that this game is plagued with so many issues. It seriously is a fun game and it shines when everything works the way it's supposed to and you don't get stuck with brain-dead teammates. Unfortunately though it seems like the Developers heard that the Friday the 13th game was fundraised and decided to make a mad dash to release this - bugs and all.

Final Verdict: 4/10 with the potential of a 7/10 game. Wait for it to be patched or go on a heavy sale before wasting your well earned money.

(UPDATE: 7/24/2016)
So they released the new update to allow team survivor grouping. While it does make the game slightly better - the glitches this game has are simply too numerous.

If you have a group less than 4 prepare to maybe play 1 game every 20 tries, because apparently it's too hard for this game to find a working lobby. Think it might be beter with people? Nope! It works once in every 10~15 tries.

As far as the match making goes - can someone please explain to me the point of ranks? Our group is a mix of 18~20 ranks and we are facing killers that are rank 1? The perks will make it completely one sided that it's boring.

I have to rate this an abysmal 3/10 now. It has dropped a point due to the fact that two major patches have been released since I first rated this and neither improved on their incomplete design.
