Summary
Death Coming is a must play experience. I mean who doesn’t want to cause destruction and hurt from the comfort of your own home? Simply double tap objects in the world to cause things to happen like changing traffic lights or drop boxes on people. It gets a lot more gruesome and funny later on but I can’t spoil everything, can I! Humour is a strong point and despite little actual dialogue the goal is clear and you always feel like you know what’s happening. I would like more control on seeing what my actions could do before doing it as atm it’s only a few things with this. Back to the game and it is so much fun to play and keeps you coming back for more. With online leaderboards, it’s a strong score chaser but to be honest, being evil is just so much fun!
