    Are you ready for an addiction? DECEIVE INC. may well provide it. How long that feeling will last is debatable but there’s no doubt that this one will grab you at some point. Perhaps the real test will be with the online community though as whilst the servers keep busy, there is a great future for DECEIVE INC.

    Deceive Inc has a new and unique premise and an engaging gameplay loop but its lackluster combat which is going to be inevitable in each match just pulls this otherwise killer spy simulator and sends it out to Die Another Day. While it has the benefit of being unlike any of the other hum-drum deathmatch games out there at the moment, I just hope that it can find a large enough player base to stand the test of time.

    Deceive Inc. is a title that gamers haven’t seen in a while. Fresh off launch there are improvements that of course can be made but I’m willing to go on a stakeout to wait and see what happens with the title.

    Honestly, I was very hyped because I saw influencers playing it. It's colorful, we can disguise to any PNJ, you can spy on other people, theHonestly, I was very hyped because I saw influencers playing it. It's colorful, we can disguise to any PNJ, you can spy on other people, the robbery theme seemed fun.

    Unfortunately, that was it. It's not that fun because :
    - the game is full of bugs and lags,
    - you can see already cheaters, - you don't have any aim assist,
    - some have just there to wait until the end of the game to shoot you.

    It's just a waste of time to invest to such game because the Sweet Bandits made it clear that there's no way that will give you a better experience on consoles because of the competitiveness of Deceive inc.    … Full Review »

    It doesn't worth the money spent.

    The spy aspect is just accessory it's just a shooting game. Each game lasts 5 minutes because the spawn locations are closed to each other. The aim is just awful on consoles and the company that made that game won't do anything about it. In 15 hours of games, I haven't win once and it's really to play against other players like PC players.

    Deceive inc. is very deceiving indeed.    … Full Review »

    Bad-
    The weapons don’t seem to be balanced; Unresponsive aiming.

    Thoughts-
    Deceive Inc.’s gameplay is thrilling and packed with anxious excitement for the first half of every match, but is then soured by a second half that relies too heavily on unbalanced gunplay. This is a shame because it does mostly deliver on its promise of a tense spy-thriller action game, but locking better weapons behind higher levels and not properly balancing what is available does a disservice to the rest of the experience.    … Full Review »
