  Death Note Killer Within is better than I expected it to be, but is also a game where your experience hinges on other people’s behavior and actually getting to complete a match. If you are only playing with people you know, everyone is on a PC, and you all are committed, it can be a lot of fun! If you aren’t, then good luck! My enjoyment tanked pretty severely once random players got involved in my matches, and I suspect it isn’t an isolated issue. If that problem gets fixed and we see more reaction to reports about bad behavior, I think it could be a solid 6/10. But because it becomes so difficult to actually finish a round, it might be better to wait for a patch.

  Death Note: Killer Within llega tarde al auge de los juegos de deducción social y, sin un soporte continuo o una actualización en su contenido, podría fácilmente quedar atrás frente a competidores más pulidos. El juego tiene buenas intenciones, pero carece de la ejecución necesaria para sostener una experiencia realmente atractiva a largo plazo.

  Death Note: Killer Within attempts to bring the tension and drama of the iconic anime into a social deduction game format. While it offers solid fan service with familiar characters like Light, L, and Ryuk, the gameplay feels overly familiar and limited, failing to innovate within its genre. Frequent technical issues, limited task variety, and an underwhelming use of the Death Note itself make it difficult to recommend, even to die-hard fans. There are moments of charm and humor, but overall, Killer Within struggles to live up to its potential.

  5.0

  Death Note Killer Within è un social deduction game in stile Among Us che prova a portare sullo schermo l'avvincente confronto fra Kira e L, nell'ambito di partite competitive dotate senz'altro di molteplici sfaccettature e di un indubbio potenziale strategico, che diventa più evidente a seconda dell'esperienza dei giocatori. Purtroppo sul piano tecnico e artistico il titolo sviluppato da Grounding è decisamente bruttino e ha così tante criticità anche in termini di interfaccia che dovrete davvero essere degli appassionati del genere per apprezzarlo.
