Pros

  • Here's some of my favorites games to assist in recs *Solo games* Final girl
  • I’m getting Final Girl for solo play this Christmas
  • I think the mechanics are pretty strong. There is an element of luck, what with dice and random card draws, but dice mitigation is a big part of the game, and there's plenty of strategy involved.
  • The system is so well designed though and that’s what keeps me coming back. Has all the horror movie tropes but no knowledge of horror movies is required.
  • “Final Girl” is my number one favorite solo game. ... Tons of replay ability, loads of fun. ... Great system, great theme, strongly recommend.

Cons

  • Another one I've heard great things about is **Final Girl**, where you play as the titular "final girl" trying to survive a serial killer a là a slasher film. It's only single-player, and it looks pretty pricey, so take that with a grain...
  • I see it reccomended everywhere as a must have solo game, but it sounds to me like it's main appeal is the story aspect, not the mechanics.
  • final girl certainly loses much of the appeal if you're not into horror movies. the mechanics are solid, but it's a game that shines through integration of mechanics into its theme, not by mechanics alone.
  • my likes: great looking game visually, and very thematic. my dislike: setup feels a bit much for some reason.. also it may need several of the "feature films (expansions)" to really increase replayability

A great game is Final Girl but is solo only however I play with my girlfriend and we make decisions together, it’s a lot of fun and more ‘horror-like’ than Horrified.

Final Girl is so great for emergent storytelling and the feeling of the actions you make tell a new story everytime.
