EntreMandos 8.3/10

"Halloween: The Game is the definitive game based on the cult film Halloween and the killer Michael Myers. The asymmetrical multiplayer mode is great fun and offers plenty of options. Meanwhile, the inclusion of a story mode where you play as Myers will delight fans of the slasher genre and John Carpenter’s cult film. The slow pace of the game, which mirrors that of the film, may not be to everyone’s taste, but once you get into the swing of things, we can guarantee that the game is addictive and you’ll want to play one match after another."

Niche Gamer 8/10

"Illfonic has created a solid foundation for an asymmetrical horror game. It addresses some of the worst offenses committed by Dead by Daylight, and rewards more immersive playstyles. It actually brings the horror back to the genre which has been optimized out of its competitor. Now it’s up to the players to do something with it."

PSX Brasil 80/100

"Halloween: The Game takes full advantage of the best features of the top titles in the asymmetric multiplayer horror genre, but manages to create its own identity, something that other similar games have failed to achieve. The option for a single-player gameplay in a short but very rewarding campaign is a great advantage. The overall package isn't perfect in what it sets out to do because it suffers in some general aspects, including chaotic AI, technical instability, and graphical limitations."

TestingBuddies 8/10

"Halloween: The Game is an atmospheric and tense asymmetrical horror game that captures Michael Myers authentically, even if its short campaign, clunky combat and limited map selection hold it back."

TwoHitGames 7.8/10

"Halloween: The Game delivers an entertaining asymmetrical horror experience that captures the atmosphere of the classic franchise while adding its own mechanics to the familiar formula. Its story mode offers a useful introduction to Michael Myers, while the multiplayer provides tense chases, environmental interactions and plenty of pressure for both sides. However, limited animations, repetitive actions and a lack of depth in its narrative keep it from reaching its full potential."
