I was expecting a half effort job with this game, but it turns out it's a fun spin on the formula. It's a very good thing this game came out on PS+ day 1
The fact that we’re getting a death note game in 2024 feels unreal, but I’m all for it. Normally I would have no idea what kind of game they would make it except for a story focused single player game like life is strange, but something similar to among us fits perfectly
Actually they made a game like that Konami made an entirely original story type game for Death Note called L , The prologue to Death Note ; Spiraling Trap which is basically a more thinking centered game which contains an entirely original (but not canon) story
I agree. Death Note and Attack on Titan are endlessly rewatchable to me. Some may say those are basic choices but there is a reason they are so popular.
I would love a persona style game for death note. As in being able to form bonds and have a social connection while investigating a new killer set after the events of the anime. Meanwhile the killer is one of the people you can hang out with that you don’t find out about until close to the end.
I could be very biased to someone who loves among us and putting many hours into it and still plays it till this day. I think this is a fantastic game and a great way for them to test other things beside fighting games honestly if you grab the right amount of people I was able to play in one lobby with strangers and nobody left. Everyone had the same energy people are trying to teach each other how to be better and I really got into character.
Matty, I am with you. Death Note just completely consumed me and I agree...gotta be one of, if not the best cat/mouse story out there. There is SO much to love about the series, both the anime and manga. And THANK YOU for mentioning the soundtrack specifically. There's just no other way to say it....that music is god tier level, especially the post-rock main theme.
Similarly to among us this game is very lobby dependent. My first lobby was amazing. All calm adults just playing semi seriously. My second lobby was children screaming and I couldn't hear anyone Third lobby was only 2 mics and a bunch of silent people. They didn't even use the text... Absolutely love this game though. Aleady have a little too many hours in it
This game came out pretty fast from announcement to release I didn’t even know it was about to come out. Pretty interesting concept but idk what I really think about it it’s not my style of game. I would have really liked a cool story focused visual novel with choices you can make that can lead down different paths and endings. It is cool that Bandai is actually trying a different type of style of game besides average arena fighter copy paste gameplay.
It's not really like among us. Some differences Kira can kill out of sight The only clear giveaway is the notebook being open. The villians can fill their own tasks L can prove innocent And has more control during voting. Kira can pass to an ally if caught. Kira can be selected and still not be caught if investigated by his follower. The follower can be jailed if caught with a stolen ID. Voting wrong gives Kira the ability to kill the person voted. I don't see people doing more tasks as the Investigators but there's probably more L powers to help. Unlike in among us you want people bunched together. You can pick up the items of dead Investigators to find out who they marked as sus. Kira by default can only kill 2 Investigators a round. L being killed is game over.
Genuinely insane for Bandai Namco to implement a leaver's penalty which works AFTER you've been eliminated from the game, when they couldn't even make a proper ragequit penalty in Ultimate Ninja Storm for a decade. I mean, maybe the publisher doesn't have control over such specific features, but still, I found the contrast funny.
Death Note gets a lot of criticism and hate nowadays but back in 2007 there was not much else like it, and above all else it was a fun ride. I even read the prequel novel and the alternate timeline novel. I really do hope we get more Death Note games. I totally agree a visual novel style game would be great, I seriously wanted those DS games in English when I was a kid. I'm gonna check this one out, it seems like a great game to play with friends!
Unrelated to this video but I feel it’s semi related because it has to do with an anime that got a weird game I am still waiting for Matty to check out Orphen: Scion of Sorcery I think before even starting this channel he said on an early constellation episode that was a game he wanted to check out and play It’s bad but it’s got a relaxing title screen theme lol got a random copy for 10 bucks and that triggered the thought for this comment
You should check detailed settings when your a room host.theres a lot of changes you can make like amount of tasks a investigator can have, amount of joint opportunities L can cause or notes Kira can make, making the id prompt not be there or quicken or slow how long you need to be near someone to get the id + other stuff.
If you have a PS5…download the PS4 version. On PS5 there are major hard game crashes that happen very frequently. I had to switch versions to not have a crash every other game during peek player hours and worst part is there is no cross progression so I had to start a fully new file downgrading to the more stable PS4 version…or just play on PC.
I get it that people find this game confusing and complex but for me i think i love they way at it is it was actually really fun the issue were just when one players left the game the game ended which is frustrating when you are really locked in thats the only issue i have and i hope they put more map in this game those two are my only wishes for this but anything else is amazing for me
I really love death note, this is not the game I was expecting from it. (I wanted a visual novel style game wherein you can make choices as kira to move the story in a different direction compared to the canon) but a game is still a game. I'll support it by buying it and hopefully we get a good one in the future.
Think you’re a late adopter? I just watched the anime for the first time last month 💀 but I’m right on board with ya, it shot straight up to peak fiction imo well before the final credits rolled.
it is near perfect. loved the first half, loved the second half and loved the ending. i think the second half should've had a few more episodes because the pacing was a bit fast but other than that it was perfect to me
It's not 5v5 it's 2v8. You sure you played this game? Lol. I've been playing non stop having so much fun. Every lobby I run into has been really great and most people say they're addicted just like I am lol. Haven't heard anything bad besides the crash glitch when someone leaves
I've been mired by connection issues. The game keeps crashing when I get in a game. I don't think people are leaving, I think they have an issue with the servers
One big issue with game. If there is a spectator who is party chatting with a participant. He can view what all other players are doing and guide or snitch on who has the deathnote book
Honestly I don’t think people are rage quitting. My game has been having constant crashes in the middle of matches and others have said the same. I feel like after the next patch or two the number of leavers will go down
Im too good at this game especially as Kira I just win by new world order usually, I've won with my second Kira arrested multiple times im too good at bull shitting and clearing my name when under pressure
death note is amazing dont get me wrong but seriously after Ls passing there was a massive drop in quality . Ls shoes were just too large to fill and having near which tries and mimic L isnt really helping although the other one mello i think is better since hes actually different
Do you prefer the anime or the manga? I saw the anime first, then years later read the manga and rewatched the anime. Personally I think the manga is better.
The game being too predictable only works if the players are still pretty new. L specifically has to ignore most of the tasks to stay safe so there's more of an added layer to if it's L or Kira that's ignoring the events
One thing I've noticed it time matter alot to, when I play later at night I have a hard time finding lobbies with room sometimes. Hope this game doesn't die to soon😅
so instead of fixing their shitty design they would rather ban players that leave when they can't interact with the game anymore huh? sounds like wasted potential
Death note got a game before full metal alchemist brotherhood as far as a legit game …. Wild and I love death note it just doesn’t lend itself to being a video game honestly lol
@ they did but those games were half assed at best imo . The ARPG was so repetitive even for its time . Although I do remember spending hours playing it it wasn’t great and obviously I would be referring to potential for a new game with current graphics and gameplay innovations
I think one thing they could do is give the investigation team some disadvantage as the game progresses. As more followers of Kira grows, they disrupt the normal workings of society, so it could take longer to finish tasks and talk to npcs or something
"I'm somewhat of an intellectual... See I enjoy Akira and ghost in the shell for it's complex plot that you simpletons just won't understand" That's you. Stupid redditor.
"I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT."
it's not retro
Matty thank you for always making my day!
JUST WATCH ME, L
The first and third DS games have fan translations, and the second one is WIP
I was expecting a half effort job with this game, but it turns out it's a fun spin on the formula. It's a very good thing this game came out on PS+ day 1
Yeah there’s not a lot now since there’s one map and basically one game mode I’m sure we’ll get more in future
Still a cashgrab
@@denboix7524 clearly isn't since it's a fantastic game
@Oknahidwin Not really a "cash grab" if it's just 10$ they could've charged us a full 40$ if they wanted to
@@dylantortosa7678 yeah like isn’t it the same price as among us
Legit when I open the game, I played it for six hours nonstop with the same group of people and it was so fun

Death Note is peak fiction! One of those classics that holds up to the end of time
I agree. Death Note and Attack on Titan are endlessly rewatchable to me.
Some may say those are basic choices but there is a reason they are so popular.
@@Talons97I don’t even like Anime but i love Death Note, such a masterpiece
i've got the maga at home, i re-read like every 6 monthes haha
I saw it for the first time 2-3 years ago and I was glued to the TV
I would love a persona style game for death note. As in being able to form bonds and have a social connection while investigating a new killer set after the events of the anime. Meanwhile the killer is one of the people you can hang out with that you don’t find out about until close to the end.
This is one of my dreams as a gamer
I honestly really like this game so far, it's really fun and I went in with pretty meh expectations despite being a big Death Note fan
5:25 uuhm...Deathnote fans sounding like a MW2 lobby is maybe the LEAST surprising thing about this game.
this game makes you FEEL like Kira and L. Big Brain plays and Lots if mistrust lol Im Loving it! and its FREE for PS Plus
Gonna gave to report this comment for spam.
The "X really makes you FEEL blah blah"
Retard comments are so overdone.

Absolutely love this game though. Aleady have a little too many hours in it
They need to have a forced mic check b4 entering a lobby
@palerider2132 I think that mic only *might* be a filter/setting but I might be wrong
Finally: Among Us 2
Lockdown Protocol?

Wdym, it was the top rated anime for years lol
It's very loved, though.
@@KurizuKurizu People hate on it online a lot because it is so popular is what I meant.
For me death note best anime ever created
Talk about Zero Escape we need more ppl to know about it
GROVE WITH THE ZERO ESCAPE AGENDA🗣
@ YES YES
If you haven't read it you should read the one shot sequel to death note its very good and you can see what effects the death note had on the world
They should make a special ova episode for it that would be cool
Wasn't that one about the guy who used social media or something? Felt very opposite of death note imo
Unrelated to this video but I feel it’s semi related because it has to do with an anime that got a weird game
I am still waiting for Matty to check out Orphen: Scion of Sorcery

Death Note is God Tier, I was hoping for this to be a visual novel in the universe but oh well .
If you have a PS5…download the PS4 version. On PS5 there are major hard game crashes that happen very frequently. I had to switch versions to not have a crash every other game during peek player hours and worst part is there is no cross progression so I had to start a fully new file downgrading to the more stable PS4 version…or just play on PC.
I have no connection to Death Note but I’ve been loving this. A bit more complex than Among Us and the community is fun
It feels like this game just came out of nowhere.
After completing the tutorial and got into a mic'd up lobby, I played for like 3 hours or so in they lobby. It was so much fun and funny
I would so love a Zero Escape style Death Note visual novel style game, that would be awesome.
Do you think the flaws you mentioned could be fixed with future updates. Or you don’t see it happen at all in the future ?
I get it that people find this game confusing and complex but for me i think i love they way at it is it was actually really fun the issue were just when one players left the game the game ended which is frustrating when you are really locked in thats the only issue i have and i hope they put more map in this game those two are my only wishes for this but anything else is amazing for me
Death Note is still relevant enough to have a game in 2024?!
...Shawshank Redemption is a pretty good story too...
thats a slick looking flannel
Have you seen the live action movies from Japan? They did a really good job with it IMO. Worth a watch
I really love death note, this is not the game I was expecting from it. (I wanted a visual novel style game wherein you can make choices as kira to move the story in a different direction compared to the canon) but a game is still a game. I'll support it by buying it and hopefully we get a good one in the future.
that type of multiple choices visual novel where you have to keep your identity a secret against L would have been insanely fun
Think you’re a late adopter? I just watched the anime for the first time last month 💀 but I’m right on board with ya, it shot straight up to peak fiction imo well before the final credits rolled.
“Perfectly told” and “Death Note” is probably the very first time I’ve heard those words used in the same sentence
Yeah, screw near and mello
@@zach9533read the manga, the anime really fucked up Near and doesn’t show you his thinking monologues
Nah it's perfect

@@zach9533Screw you. Near is a great character. He is cold and cynical… like me. So I see a lot of myself in him.
I just saw it today, said “what’s this?”, watched the trailer and downloaded it immediately.

0:45 There really isn’t any Death Note videogame… immediately shows 3 Japan exclusives ones 🤥
Second Time asking matty to review the gothic games from pyranha bytes in every new video
I've been mired by connection issues. The game keeps crashing when I get in a game. I don't think people are leaving, I think they have an issue with the servers
I can't believe they made DNO Death Note Online an official thing...!
Wait. That came out? Last time I heard about this was just the trademark.
One big issue with game. If there is a spectator who is party chatting with a participant. He can view what all other players are doing and guide or snitch on who has the deathnote book

You can die and still win so idk why people are leaving
because you dont play
@@godther1391 I mean you know the kind of game you're getting into.
I had fun playing the game

I think some of those ds games have fan translations online Matty
A Death Note game in 2024?! Now all I need is a (non gacha) Fullmetal Alchemist game and my life is complete
This game is amazing but getting kick out or my ps5 getting an error really hinders me enjoying the game.
is it good? Really, that soudns awesome!!
I had someone verbally abuse me on this game and they didn't realise I was in a wheelchair so quickly retracted the word they used
Damn putting your psn on blast really is dedication wanting you to kill someone ! Bravo Vince 👏
Do you prefer the anime or the manga? I saw the anime first, then years later read the manga and rewatched the anime. Personally I think the manga is better.
When will we get a Jet Set Radio Future video?!
The game being too predictable only works if the players are still pretty new. L specifically has to ignore most of the tasks to stay safe so there's more of an added layer to if it's L or Kira that's ignoring the events
It's like R200 in my country, that's so expensive for a knockoff Among Us bro, I mean, Among us is R50, literally 1/4 the price
Damn this game needs more players
You can switch to different regions and see way more players buddy
@kiritokun-2078 gotta try it cheers mate
One thing I've noticed it time matter alot to, when I play later at night I have a hard time finding lobbies with room sometimes.
Hope this game doesn't die to soon😅
Retro rebound is underrated my boy is way to consistent to not alr have a mil subs
The moment I read “online” and saw the similarities with Among Us I said NOPE!!!!
The game is a lot of fun.
They should add a voice changer to the mic like the one L and Misa use
I saw this game last night but decided to pass because I wasn’t sure about it but I might give it a try now
Light yagami is such a fantastic character. Cool that death note is getting a game.
Death Note is goated
Anyone else having connection issues? I cant even join a match without the app closing. On ps5
I wonder they never made Season 2 of the anime
Perfect fiction and man didn't say Avatar the Last Airbender...
Wait, retro? I thought this was a channel for retro games?
I guess it’s decent since it’s Free on PS plus
Does this game have in game voice chat? I always hoped Among Us would get it but it never did
, I saw this on steam yesterday.And I really wanna get it Especially considering my user name
It looks like a amongus it plays like a anongus it is a duck
just ran out of videos to watch, thanks
Sounds way better than woke ass Among Us, definitely checking this out!
Even for free I won’t try this out
so instead of fixing their shitty design they would rather ban players that leave when they can't interact with the game anymore huh? sounds like wasted potential
I just wish it was on xbox
I hope it inspires someone to make an ACTUAL game and not amoung us 2....
I’m a Death Note fan… but imma skip this one. No Among Us crap for me.
Is bro sure he played the game "2 teams of 5 " uhh no? 😂😂
Is this game cross progression or just cross play
Death note got a game before full metal alchemist brotherhood as far as a legit game …. Wild and I love death note it just doesn’t lend itself to being a video game honestly lol
Pretty sure they had ps2 games
@ they did but those games were half assed at best imo . The ARPG was so repetitive even for its time . Although I do remember spending hours playing it it wasn’t great and obviously I would be referring to potential for a new game with current graphics and gameplay innovations
MW2 lobbies lol!!! 🤣
I think one thing they could do is give the investigation team some disadvantage as the game progresses. As more followers of Kira grows, they disrupt the normal workings of society, so it could take longer to finish tasks and talk to npcs or something
Nah it's fine as is
Kira has enough advantages so it's fine
Lmao, PS5 😂😂
Shhh you're too old for console wars.
Death Note is not perfect at all
ryuk dropping his game lets be honest lol😈 also im fine with this cuz lets not milk this series for safety
I'm sorry your welcome to your opinion but season 2 was a huge downgrade in quality to me. Far from perfect.
Trash game
I really was hoping for a visual novel or even Phoenix Wright sort of game. Meh.
No views in 37 seconds? Fell off man
Game is 2 woke, too much DEI
what the fuck r u talking about
🤓
death note was meh. Akira and ghost in the shell is much, much better
L take
Did you know both can be good?
"I'm somewhat of an intellectual... See I enjoy Akira and ghost in the shell for it's complex plot that you simpletons just won't understand"
That's you. Stupid redditor.
Ladisgun you here ? Lol
Trash taste in games
