Deadpool

Deadpool is a good game with baggage attached to it. The price is too high and some annoying game play quirks, but it is still a great romp, especially for fans of the character. It is cool that this game got a second chance, but I suspect not many will bother due to the high price for entry. Still if you have never played the game and only own the new consoles, it is definitely worth checking out. Maybe just wait for a sale or a price drop before diving in.

Having missed this title the first time around, there was no small amount of glee at the prospect of jumping in with the gussied up version. It is with profound sadness that it must be reported that this is a barebones port of an already middling game.

...this is an indisputably poor game

Even though the combat isn’t overly innovative, the game is still easy and fun to play, and will provide you a good amount of playtime and fun. The challenges that are unlocked as you complete each level also offer a good number of extra hours of stab and kill game play. If you don’t know much about Marvel or Deadpool’s back story(having recently been rebooted), most of that is provided with the informational snippets you unlock as you play the game, allowing you to learn more about why Deadpool is so unbelievably insane!

Fans of the character Deadpool are certain to find a lot to like here. Sadly, the repetitive combat casts a shadow over the game's humorous treats, which are the real highlight of the package. There's a definite joy to be found in this adaptation – just be prepared to cut through many of layers of mediocrity in order to find it.

It's not without its flaws, but overall, Deadpool is a decent, light-hearted hack-'n-slash game.
