My son has started playing the Evil Dead game on PC. He is really enjoying it apart from a few annoying things.

Driving a vehicle needs a fine hand on the controls. It helps that the cars are virtually indestructible.

A major glitch is that some times when you interact with an object your character freezes and you just have to wait until you die to restart. If you are playing co-op you can ping for help from your team-mates but they can choose to ignore you.
