Nothing says Easter better than a family gathering around a table to eat – even if human flesh is on the menu in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The title can best be described as a multiplayer cat-and-mouse team game: you either take on the role of the survivor and have to look for the level exit instead of eggs, or as a member of the cannibal family you have to prevent your victims from doing so.
In terms of gameplay, the whole thing is reminiscent of Dead by Daylight in many ways: in order to survive, you have to work together and solve various tasks in order to escape, while the killers use their unique skills to eliminate the survivors one by one.
But be warned: The game can not only be quite exciting, but is also extremely difficult, so you can celebrate your own resurrection over and over again.
Enough with the Easter puns, now it's your turn: tell us how you're going to spend the long weekend! Are you planning on trying out any of the free games? Do you have any other games on your Pile of Shame that you want to unpack to celebrate?
