I returned to Friday the 13th: The Game today, only to find a substantial 3GB patch waiting to be downloaded. I last played in late December when I bought the game in a Steam sale. I stated in a blog post at the time, that the game was flawed and very much a work in progress. The patch has addressed several issues with the game; the most important one being offline play.  You can now play Friday the 13th: The Game offline as Jason Voorhees against seven bot camp counsellors. It should be noted that you cannot play offline as a counsellor against a bot Jason. However, playing as Jason has a more complex learning curve, whereas playing as one of his potential victims is a lot easier to figure out. So I can understand why the developers opted for this arrangement. Hence, I spent a few hours this evening, fooling around offline, slicing and dicing various camp counsellors and trying to master the basics of playing a Jason. It did prove quite useful and I found myself far more prepared for online play as a result.
