The verdict
A beloved asymmetrical Jason-vs-counselors horror game, now delisted with official servers shut down. Skip it unless you own it and have friends or a community fix.
Great for
Franchise fans who already own it and can play offline, in private lobbies or via community fixes
Main risk
Official servers are shut down, so normal online play is gone and the game can't be bought
