    Drawn to Death's juvenile presentation belies a nuanced shooter that's frankly a breath of fresh air. The title fuses fighting games with frenetic on-foot action that feels quite unlike anything you'll ever have played before. Quality game modes and an imaginative roster of weapons are only let-down by the lingering microtransactions that have seemingly survived the title's business model change unscathed. Other than that, though, it's f*cking awesome.

    David Jaffe and co. have created something wildly novel, moderately fun, and slightly frustrating with Drawn to Death. In the finished product lies a blueprint for a great game, but mediocre shooting mechanics and a slightly shallow level of content holds back Drawn to Death in the end.

    Drawn to Death is a bloody, messy, childish romp through adolescent notebook art, putting you into the art itself in a series of deathmatches. The art style is endearing and interesting, but it leads to some confusion in the gameplay itself. Fast-paced, unique, and creative, Drawn to Death provides a gnarly experience unlike any other, but suffers from a bit of monotony all too quickly, mimicking high school quite well.

    Drawn to Death, David Jaffe's return, is a free-to-play game with the worse things of the genre and without the best (it isn't free!). Funny and original, with an unique art design, it deserves one chance, but you must know: it's simple, turns boring soon and it doesn't have enough content.

    David Jaffe's new project is a third person online shooter that includes a number of nice ideas but a lot of different problems too, many of them really annoying.

    David Jaffe has always been known for games that can be a bit over the top and Drawn to Death may be the most extreme example of that to date. The notebook art style is very unique and works well with the varying character roster throughout the fast paced arena matches. However, the long wait times and crass humor used to make Drawn to Death seem edgy really drag down the experience as a whole.

    It’s probably just as well Sony gave this thing away for free with PSPlus memberships. It’s the only hope the game has of actually keeping an audience (because it’s a multiplayer-only game, it needs a large and sustained community). But if David Jaffe genuinely wants to make a transgressive game, next time he should pay some attention to how actual transgressive artists like Goichi Suda and Yoko Taro do it.

    the definition of an "okay" game. Not bad at all but given the lack of players you should skip it

It gets boring quickly and the incentive to continue playing is minimal. The controls feel clunky and the learning curve is steep. Im glad the game was free and sure as hell won't be spending money on mystery boxes. I give it a 5 because it is fun until you realize that it isn't.… Expand

    Drawn To Death is utterly appalling. I'm shocked that this was given away this month on ps+. Someone seriously needs to be fired for this veryDrawn To Death is utterly appalling. I'm shocked that this was given away this month on ps+. Someone seriously needs to be fired for this very deliberate insult to Playstation gamers.

    The game looks awful, the ugly, crude, pretentious art style makes the game look like it was drawn by a loner teenager who is planning to shoot up his school. The characters are tacky, cliched and unimaginative.
    I'm sure the game designer watched the terrible movie Middle School and copied the childish art style the kid uses in it when drawing in his note pad.

    The game has a constant annoying voice over, the dialog is cringe worthy, out dated and embarrassing. The humor is suited to 14 year old skaters in the 90's who think swearing is cool and grown up.

    I was embarrassed playing the game, I felt pity for the developer who had this as his 'grand vision'. It must be awful for him having no originality and been so boring and predictable.

    Graphics are terrible, sound is terrible, art style is terrible and also the gameplay is terrible.

    It's basically a very weak 3rd person arena shooter. It's boring, you run round the arena trying to make out what everything is, shoot someone or get shot and repeat. There's no progression, no reason to carry on playing.

    I'm actually offended by how bad this game is. After 15 mins of playing (sitting through the long loading screens for most of it), I uninstalled. I very nearly cancelled PS+ but remembered I need it to play real games online.

    So avoid this game and please please don't spend any money on it, you will just be funding a lazy developer to make more dross and unimaginative games to rip off hard working gamers.    … Expand
