Deceit
A new look at Deceit 2 is here just before the new release date to remind us all how to play the game of Deceit
The fun of Deceit 2 is coming in a little bit more of a wait with September 14th still a little way off out there. That does not lower much of the excitement that World Makers has built up for this title on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC but something worth noting here for now. In just a few more weeks and we will be able to head into the social deduction action that Deceit 2 has been building up. Even if some of it does not fully track based on the little bits we have had before. That is, until now with the latest breakdown of the gameplay loop we will soon find ourselves in.
Given that Deceit 2 is a social deduction title out there, that will be part of the main focus. Given that two of the players in the group will be infected from the start and we will need to find out which are here to kill us all. Then, we will get to suss them out and vote on whether we are going to purge the evil from them or accidentally sacrifice an innocent to make the evil stronger. That will also be something to worry about in Deceit 2, as it looks like there will be points in the game where the coin will flip and the Infected will be on the hunt. Able to kill one of the innocent players to build up more strength while the rest hide. All with the end goal of making it out of the match alive.

Deceit 2 is a 6-9 player social deduction horror game where two among you have been Infected. Whilst the Infected do the Game Master's bidding, the Innocent must work together to escape the Ritual whilst deducing who is plotting against them.
These kinds of games always baffle me when it comes to video games or even board games. While I get that Deceit 2 will have a better way to guide and keep things hidden from players, I do not know how this does not turn into a quick game of just killing everyone else and making it to the end. That or communicate outside of the game to let each other know and thus breaking the game in that way. I have seen that in so many other games so players can just win instead of having fun. Maybe Deceit 2 will have a better handle on how to solve that issue, but as I have always seen, humans are going to do what they can so they always come out on top. Even if it removes the fun of the experience in the mix.
Were you wondering why you were not playing Deceit 2 right now and now see it will be next week? How do you think we will stop each other from "gaming" the system to always win while making it less fun for others? Do you enjoy these kinds of games in general and do they work better in the digital space than they do the physical? Head into the comment section to discuss all of this and everything else we have going on out there. More for Deceit 2 will be coming soon, so please keep on checking back for all of those updates and everything else we can find out there for you.
