Evil Dead: The Game was a lot of fun back when it launched, though I hadn't touched it in over a year before revisiting it for this list. The servers are still live, which is more than you can say for some of its horror-license peers. Survivors versus a possessing Deadite plays like a lighter, funnier cousin of Dead by Daylight, heavy on franchise callbacks and one-liners instead of dread. Crossplay covers PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, though matchmaking outside peak hours can leave you waiting. The population has thinned noticeably since launch. If you catch a full lobby, it's genuinely funny in a way most asymmetrical horror doesn't bother trying to be. Just don't expect it to be busy on a random Tuesday afternoon.

Overview
About Evil Dead: The Game
Evil Dead: The Game is a 4 vs 1 asymmetrical horror/survival game based on the Evil Dead franchise and characters created by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Bruce Campbell. Defend the world against evil or bring wrath as the Kandarian Demon.
Story setup
Work together as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, crafting, managing your fear, and finding key artifacts to seal the breach between worlds. Or take control of the powerful Kandarian Demon to hunt Ash and his friends while possessing Deadites, the environment, and even the survivors themselves as you seek to swallow their souls!
Plenty of surprises await in this gore-filled battle against evil that captures the characters, horror, humor, and action from the franchise. Battle across memorable locations including the infamous cabin in the woods, brought to life with tons of terrifying visuals and all-new dialogue from Bruce Campbell. Discover more than 25 weapons, including Ash’s Gauntlet, Boomstick, and chainsaw, and advance in a variety of skill trees to grow stronger and survive in this fun co-op and PvP experience.
