I just finished Deadpool for PS4.
3.5 stars out of 5
Really this is a PS3/360 game that they uprezzed slightly to sell again on PS4. The graphics and models are definitely last gen.
So I was trying to get myself in the mood to see the new Deadpool movie, and I saw this game on Ebay and decided to go for it.
The voice actor nails it. He even sounds a bit like Ryan Reynolds. There were a ton of funny lines in this game, and there were several moments where I laughed my ass off. That's the good part.
The bad part is that the combat is very unsatisfying and super mega repetitive. The gunplay is not satisfying either, you'll spend half the time running around waiting for your health to regen, shooting over your shoulder. While Deadpool can die, if you break away from combat just before death and run around, he can regenerate. This becomes a problem later in the game when you are surrounded by enemies blocking your path. You can teleport a little bit, but you don't go far and you can only do it so many times.
If you're sensitive to video game chicks with big boobs or super sexist behavior/dialog... wait.. why would you even be interested in a Deadpool game?
Later levels get really frustrating and death occurs often. The final level(s) had me so pissed off I nearly broke my controller in half. You have to defeat wave after wave, while jumping around (there are areas where you have to "platform" jump around, but while people are shooting at you). I nearly rage quit the game but after stepping away from it for a while and re-trying I was able to finally get through. This was on normal difficulty.
So imagine hand to hand combat similar to the Batman games (but worse) and fairly useless guns... with lots of timed jumping and running and teleporting. You get the idea.
But man, it is funny.
It's under 10 hours, maybe 8 if not for the levels you have to repeat 10+ times, and the checkpoint system is fairly punishing. AT LEAST it replenishes your ammo when you die, other games like Bloodborne have you respawn minus all the ammo you used before.
If the combat had been better, this could have been a 4/5. But it could have been worse.
If you like Deadpool and like his juvenile antics, you'll like this. Go pick it up on Ebay for $15. The internet is your friend when it comes to advice on passing certain levels.
Honestly, if it wasn't funny, this would be a 1 star game. So don't play it for the combat or shooting, there are better games for that. But play it for the humor.
