8 Most Brutally Violent Video Game Moments Of 2017 (So Far)

8. Mutilating Counsellors In Friday The 13th

Because it's a loving ode to the classic horror series of the same name, the developers of Friday the 13th have taken the time to painstakingly recreate the most iconic deaths from the movies in their game, translating them into finishing moves that the player controlling Jason can perform.

Thankfully the brutality on offer lives up to the franchise's reputation, and as Jason you're able to eliminate camp counsellors in a variety of deliciously gory ways that range from burning them alive to ripping their face apart with your bare hands.

But while these are all brutal deaths in their own right, the most violent one featured in the game naturally comes from the simple combo of Jason and his iconic machete.

This finisher sees Jason throwing his victim to the floor, dismembering both of their arms with two swift blows before lodging the machete into the centre of their skull. Oh, and once he rips his weapon out he steps over his victim's face just for good measure.

All of the executions in Friday the 13th are the definition of overkill, but this one has to be the most outrageous of the lot.
