14 Most Surprising Metacritic Scores Of 2017

12. Friday The 13th (61)

Friday the 13th is a fun game...to a point, but as anyone who has played it will know, it's also horrendously janky, cheaply thrown-together and basically a mechanical mess.

The joy of playing as Jason Voorhees is undeniable, but this is constantly played-off against repetitive central gameplay that gets old fast, the lack of a single-player campaign, the abundance of bugs and general feeling that this could be so, so much better.

Again, it's not a bad game, and it deserves a little slack for clearly being created on a small budget by people with a passion for the franchise, but 61? Really?

That's not to say 61's a good score, because it absolutely isn't, but given the game's litany of technical issues, it really shouldn't be scoring north of 50.
