Gun Interactive’s true-to-movie asymmetrical horror is its first launch since 2017 cult-favorite multiplayer Friday the thirteenth, which will probably be delisted from all platforms on December 31. I’ve gotten the possibility to play Texas forward of its August 18 launch, and it’s…okay (I’ll inform you extra about that in one other put up).
Lifeless by Daylight followers will really feel at dwelling in its wonky 3v4 arrange, operating away from guys who mustn’t have as many knives as they do, however its lack of bot video games in any other case make for a steep studying curve. Nonetheless, its sundown Texas maps—which even have seasonally correct Southern chicken calls, sport artwork and audio director and Gun CEO Wes Keltner instructed me in an interview earlier this yr—really feel drenched in sufficient nostalgia and orange juice-colored loss of life, like your life flashing earlier than your eyes, to show Texas right into a definitive summer time horror sport.
