The Real Review

Halloween: The Game is Illfonic’s 1978 Michael Myers chase on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S, and the core slasher loop is mostly working. Gameplay, story mode, and graphics get decent praise, with Friday the 13th style comparisons coming out positive. Performance is a real mess, and difficulty, value, and multiplayer are where plenty of people get soured. Michael Myers and the NPCs split opinions, so the Boogeyman can feel great one moment and broken the next. If you want a horror chase game with a solid skeleton, it’s worth a look, but the technical trouble is hard to ignore.
