“Seems complicated at first glance but is pretty clear cut if you lock in. Amazing game once you learn how to properly use roles, items, and mutations. I haven't gotten this addicted to a game in a long time BUT the…”

“I mean for a F2P game you cant expect much more. Fun quick games, plenty of updates and patches to keep the game running well. A nice variety of roles and packed full of racism... what else could you ask for?”
“very fun and addicting with a slight learning curve and the moderation team seems to even get players that are problematic very quickly (like the next day). the devs make very good fun additions too”
“Gotta love the Update where you can now play Deceit 1 "Legacy Mode" in Deceit 2. It makes both very worth while. I'm glad the DEVS went this direction since I loved the 1st Deceit Game but couldn't bring myself to force…”

“terrible downgrade from the first game, it feels like it's just trying to follow 12 trends from popular social deduction games and failing at all of them. Even the legacy mode is just a shell of what the game used to be”
“has potential but it's "had potential" since march 2024 when I started playing, slowly getting worse, whilst adding new content and new skins and new battle passes and adopting new racists, and new sexists, and new…”
“The Game is Dead, no one is really playing. The people that are playing will Banish anyone that isn't in their Friend Group. Its just Not Fun and Fair at all.”

“very fun with a big group of friends, but with randoms... not so much.”
“The community honestly completely ruins the game unfortunately. Nearly all the rounds I played didn't go how they were intended to. It was either people not talking, blasting music or people teaming with infecteds. But…”

“Worse sequel on an even worse game engine. Looks bad, runs bad, plays bad.”
“Sometimes i feel like cities 2 run faster but i mean its really a game to play with friends ig”
“They really just ruined this game man. Deceit 1 was so fun and then they decided to make a worse feeling engine than before and strip the game of all personality. Just turn servers back on Deceit 1 and go back to what…”

I think this game is great to play with friends, and I personally really enjoyed it. If you’re playing solo, you’ll have to play with random people who might play fairly, or at worst, not take…”
