Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle Launch Trailer, My Thoughts

In 1980, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures released a little film called Friday the 13th. The film, directed by Sean S. Cunningham, would be a box office success, despite mixed critical reviews. The film told the tale of a group of camp counselors who attempt to re-open a summer camp...while a deranged murderer kills them one by one. would give birth to one of the biggest film franchises around, including ten sequels, a crossover with the Nightmare on Elm Street series, and a 2009 reboot.

The franchise would also come to other media, with novels, comics, and of course, video games being released. Jason Voorhees, the hockey mask-wearing serial killer and central character of much of the franchise, would be a guest character in Mortal Kombat X. And he's put back on his mask and grabbed his machete again, because he plans to slash his way into the Nintendo Switch. Since Halloween is coming up, what better time to take a look at the launch trailer for his fourth video game: Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle!

It's kind of weird to see a character like Jason Voorhees in this style.

Just because Jason is chibified does not mean he won't brutally kill you.

I love the music to this trailer. It sounds very 80s. Which is appropriate as the 80s were Jason's heyday.

Jason using a dude's head as a mop. That is hilarious in a rather brutal way.

Basically, the point of this game is to find way for Jason to get to people so he can kill them. Because that is what Jason does. He kills people. Seriously, that zombie needs a hobby. And a ton of therapy.

There's something darkly humorous about seeing Jason do his thing in such a cutesy style.

Hey, Jason X!

Is he going to kill that girl with a...fish?! Aw, it's Jason Voorhees, anything is a weapon in his indestructible decaying hands.

Well, this sounds like a bizarrely cute game. If you're a fan of the franchise, and like puzzle games, it might be right up your alley.
