The verdict
A janky but fun Friday the 13th-style asymmetrical slasher with great Halloween atmosphere. Skip it if you want polish, stable balance, or a Dead by Daylight clone.
Great for
Halloween and Friday the 13th fans who want goofy proximity-chat multiplayer with friends
Main risk
Buggy, poorly optimized, repetitive, and balance swings between patches for a $40 price

“The fact that the primary objective for Civilians is centered around rescuing the Residents of Haddonfield instead of just escaping is a great way to add a spin to the Horror Asym genre of games.”
