    Deceit 2 isn't perfect, but there's a strong gameplay loop and some nice ideas that often come together for an enjoyable experience.

    Deceit 2 simply tried to fit in as much demonic and horror-related elements into the simple concept of a mafia-style game and ended up giving birth to an incohesive mess. All hope is not lost as the game does show small glimpses of potential but unfortunately, it is not enough to make up for all of its issues. All in all, this confusing experience is incredibly forgettable and bland. The game itself is underwhelming while the content is overwhelming, it's an incohesive paradox of a title that lacks any proper synergy, leaving new players puzzled and returning players disappointed.

    Deceit 2 takes away a lot of the positives the game had and feels like a standard social deduction game that doesn’t have anything unique to it. There isn’t any reason to play it instead of just playing the original.

    Overall, there are better games that achieve the same and more. Deceit 2 is worth picking up perhaps, once there have been some balancing adjustments and once more maps, Terror mutations, roles and skins get introduced.
