Review: Drawn to Death is a game that never lives up to its clever concept | GameCrate

Drawn to Death is a truly disappointing game. The premise is fantastic and there is a heap of potential buried beneath the surface. Unfortunately, even after you dig past that rough outer shell, the inside is almost entire empty and devoid of engaging content.

I really did not expect this many low reviews for this game. Interesting that Sony seemed to distance itself from the game.
They only showed it a couple of times but barely mentioned it

I really like the artstyle.

Can anyone else verify if these reviews are full of it?

GameCrateEd2551d ago

The game is free to play if you have a PlayStation Plus subscription (which might be a warning sign, for a new game to be totally free right away) if you want to try it yourself.

Reviews always vary, but...seems like a lot of people really didn't like this game.

EatCrow2551d ago

Dont like to pay for subscriptions. Cencelled my Playstation one a long time ago and not renewing Games with Gold either.

Thanks for the info though.

svoulis2551d ago

I have written a thought out and lengthy review here on N4G. I didn't jump onto a review til I actually spent some time with the game. MOST reviewers play a few matches and write their review based off this.

To be honest its a blend of hero shooter/arena shooter. That being said each character plays differently and has different abilities. Each gun has unique properties and I feel that most reviewers didn't spend the time needed to really understand the game. IF you like competitive shooters you'll love it I promise.

Heres my review if you want the different side.

This game just wasn't good, which is a shame because I was one of five people that actually liked the artstyle. It had a cool tutorial though, I'll give it that much

Snookies121852d ago

I liked the art style a lot, it was really unique. Never actually gave the game a try though.

crazyCoconuts1852d ago

how about in the tutorial when it told you to try the voice commands. i fell for that crap lol

KickSpinFilter1851d ago

I loved the artstyle on this but it was severely lacking in animation between the key frames of animation and was hard on your eyes. If it felt smoother and was 60fps I would have kept playing it.

mastershredder1852d ago (Edited 1852d ago )

I was kind of underwhelmed when Jaffe and crew delivered this one. It felt, looked and played like a leftover ps2 era project. However, it was true to its roots.

AspiringProGenji1852d ago

Go back to Santa Monica and make a new Twisted Metal Jaffe

AnubisG1852d ago

I think that guy is done man. He created GoW and TM but other than that, not so much good stuff. Just like Cliffy B. Let them go.

zombiewombie1851d ago

He's started the planning phase for a horror game. He talks about what hes up to on twitter, all the time.

CanadianTurtle1852d ago (Edited 1852d ago )

Jaffe stated many times that he has no interest in making AAA games anymore. He said that he's already made his mark with the first 2 GoW games on the PS2. He's solidified a legacy with those games. Also, he doesn't want to get back into AAA games mainly because it would tear him apart from his family which he said is his main priority these days.

Hardiman1851d ago (Edited 1851d ago )

He seems kinda bitter really. He also said he hasn't played the new God of War, or at least that's what he said a few months back. Seems strange that he directed the first and with what Cory and Santa Monica did with the new game was incredible! You'd think he'd want to support it. But he's more worried people being pissed about Beyond Good and Evil 2 being multiplayer!

TiredandRetired1851d ago

God of War spoiler: David Jaffe is one of the giants who has fallen and died at the end of the new game. His legacy lies in the mountains though for others to build upon.

Except for Drawn to Death. Let that s*** stay dead. The thing was more like one of the turds the giant sha* out in his pants as he fell to his death.

KickSpinFilter1851d ago (Edited 1851d ago )

No please don't, TM was awful.
And with God of War?...well there's a new God. but thanks for GOW 1,2,3 anyhow.

I can honestly say that this was the worst PS exclusive in history IMO. I only played it for 10 minutes though.

Kiwi661852d ago (Edited 1852d ago )

Not quite the worst one as Life of Black Tiger comes to mind

thatguyhayat1852d ago

I almost forgot about those... God those were awful

salmonade1852d ago

Life Of Black Tiger doesn't count. It was a tiny game with no advertisement and no press. The only press it got was because it was hilariously bad indie game

Sorry Jaffe I love most of your games but this one was a complete mistake.

Telltale Should Prioritise Their People Over Clem, And Drawn To Death Is Done

In our latest editorial, we discuss Telltale's handling of their studio closure, Sony's decision to pull the plug on Drawn to Death, and the reveal of a new legendary Pokémon.

FloydianAndroid2033d ago

It’s a noble notion to say they should take care of their people and not worry about finishing the game, but that’s kind of a stretch realistically. Finishing the game may be the beatnik they can do at this point and it’s better than nothing. My only problem with this whole situation is how did the suits not see this coming. They were hiring couple of weeks ago and now theyre belly up. Did the finance department not know how dire things were? That part doesn’t Add up.

JTGA2032d ago

Apparently it has to do with a major financial investor suddenly pulling out. But if the company was on such a knife edge, surely it's their legal and moral obligation to communicate to their employee's? The whole situation is a mess.

Drawn To Death Servers Shutting Down In March 2019

The inevitable has arrived for David Jaffe’s Drawn to Death.

Don't make your PvP game pay to win...

Patricko2033d ago

This game was sentenced to death right from the start... PVP game with Pay2Win elements? Good luck with that...

madforaday2033d ago

I replied with the same thing just after you. I was excited for the game, got the game and saw it was pay to earn all of the characters and moves. He did something similar with the PS3 version of Twisted Metal. I think has a problem trying to find that balance for PvP and progression.

Spurg2033d ago

Creator of God of war has been reduced to this.
Single player is where his strengths are at, he should focus on that instead.
Also, I didn't even know the game released.

Palitera2033d ago

He was a late victim from a dying trend. Felt for the trap real good... Everytime some golden egg comes around, lots of people fall for it and fail.

madforaday2033d ago

You do know he is the creator of Twisted Metal, a very PvP influenced game.
