GOD I adore Deceive Inc. so much. It's such a fun and unique game that I really wish I could spend more time on, but at this moment it's very hard to. There's such little marketing for this game which makes me very sad to see, and lobbies can be hard to find if you're not on at the right time on the right day. It's still getting frequent updates, fun cosmetics, silly goofy events and references, and their battle pass system is, I think, by far the *best* system I've seen implemented in a game-- at least, monetarily wise.

In Deceive, at any point you want, you can go back to previous season battle passes and work on them, even if you didn't buy them, and still get everything you paid for. There is absolutely no FOMO here, and I love it-- I wish this was a thing most modern games did.

very sad to see what this game has fallen into. used to love it to death as a kid even though i've *always* sucked ass at it

infested with bots and cheaters that spew ♥♥♥♥ that only the lowest lifeform scum of the earth would ever say and it's exhausting to play every time i open it up nowadays. valve, please actually moderate your game. i don't think the community even cares about getting new content anymore, they just want their beloved game to be actually playable.

Microsoft execs are the dumbest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to exist in this world. ♥♥♥♥ the suits, ♥♥♥♥ corporate greed, ♥♥♥♥ everything that has led to the lovely developers at Tango Gameworks to have been wronged as much as they have.

EAT ♥♥♥♥ SONY

While it may seem tempting to create a Worker's Union within The Company, it is heavily discouraged as it makes teamwork much more difficult-- and we can't have great assets such as yourself working any less productively.

Don't worry about the screaming on the other end of the walkie talkie. Don't think about the union. Just enjoy doing your work and take a complimentary Canned Water 5000™ to relax! :)

I have never felt so terrible at a game, yet I have never once felt powerless and like it was impossible for me to improve whilst playing the game. Soundtrack is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Banger, the guns feel weighty and powerful as hell when in the right hands. Bosses are really good with increasing difficulty as you move further downwards into Hell. Also coins are singlehandedly the most broken thing in the game which is so funny to me so instant 500/10

Don't we all just love razing and industrializing an entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ planet to make some pasta for our corporate overlords?

If you do, and you absolutely adore murdering the wildlife and polluting environments to an irrecoverable state, then this is the game for you!

Come down the rabbit hole with your friends. Join them in their productivity. :)

There's been a lot of change since the last time I reviewed the game, and they've made lots of strides to combat everything I've mentioned below. I still almost never run into any actual toxic people when I play the game and they've been releasing tons of BANGER chapters that I've loved to play (Dredge and Unknown, my Beloved). It's very nice to see that they've been getting better at listening to their community when it comes to balance, what they'd like to see, etc.

HOWEVER, I still can't bring myself to change my recommendation at this point in time. There is a lot of very powerful perks / etc. locked behind paid DLC, which, for some people, is unobtainable. You can of course, obtain these perks for free through the shrine, but the Shrine of Secrets only ever changes out the *four* perks out of i don't even know how many at this point every week, which makes the likelihood of getting a perk you'd like to obtain in it absolutely next to zero, and this problem gets worse and worse with every chapter or paragraph released.

There's still lots of problems with balance, power creep, general toxicity (and entitlement) seen from the community on a day by day basis, which is hard to work on, but at the same time they've had more than enough time to address some of these things more.

Even ignoring that, at this time Behaviour has just laid off 95 workers from their jobs, screwing over those peoples livelihoods. Entirely, entirely uncool. You'd expect this ♥♥♥♥ from a AAA company, not a company like Behaviour. It just sours the entire image of the game for me and I wish nothing but the best for those people that were unfortunately laid off.

Dead by Daylight is a conflicting game for me. I love it to death and it has pioneered a new genre of game that no other I've played can really encapsulate; but it has so many problems that the devs aren't being transparent about. While they have been taking FANTASTIC steps these past few months in order to improve the game, there are still incredibly important issues that they have not addressed, or fixed, or done anything about, which is heartbreaking to me.

The playerbase can be incredibly toxic at times, however, 8 times out of 10, you will have pleasant experiences with players you come across. I have not encountered much toxicity at all, but it is still an issue that is rampant in the community. The game is riddled with cheaters and the anti cheat might as well not exist at all.

If you buy, please do keep in mind that there are many issues regarding balance and be aware that some players you come across WILL be toxic. Otherwise, it's an incredibly fun game and I love it to death.

The devs just need to find a solution to cheaters and actually listen to the community, which they have been getting better at, if these last few months have shown anything at all.

This game is politely sadistic; it'll give you a nice, warm cup of tea while it makes you suffer. It's incredibly difficult and yet incredibly fun.

10/10 would get demolished because of one singular rhino again.

This game is really well done and well made, but just be aware that it can eat up your processing power!
