Critic Reviews
Deception IV PS4 Review
Deception IV on PS4 is fun with all its entertaining traps but does get a little too repetitive and looks dated as well
70%Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess
When a planned trap combo goes off successfully, it becomes truly satisfying to watch (and occasionally guilty, as both the men and women enemies often elicit disturbing shrieks of pain). Replay videos can be saved and shared (though the PS4’s built-in Share features also do the trick), and the game also includes the ability to create original enemy molds, should you have a need to create something and then tear it apart. Additional characters with unique abilities are also unlocked, making this a real meaty package for players looking to take hapless victims through the meat grinder. Don’t expect every enemy to be a cakewalk, however; certain enemy types are immune to certain traps, requiring a more strategic placement of traps in order to catch them off-guard. Armored enemies are especially annoying, as they require a specific combo based on their listed weaknesses while ending with a trap that launches them into the air so that their broken armor flies off their bodies.
