I would be lying if I said that this is an okay game. It’s far better than that. If not one of the best games I have ever played. First things first, this game as the name already suggests is about Death & presumably Taxes. The only two things guaranteed in life, and I'm not sure about the latter. Lots and lots of death. Although I seem to miss where the Taxes come in. Take the role of grim the reaper and be the chooser of who lives and who dies. All you have is one desk and one pen to get the job done. Really makes you reflect on life and appreciate it knowing that you and your grave regardless of religious beliefs, is really just one tick away. It's like human life is in your hands and you can choose the fate of people in a matter of seconds. Scary thought. And that brings me to another interesting note: I appreciate that despite the sensitive topic of death and the afterlife, this game doesn't get religious (or atheist like) but rather refrains from speaking on that matter (although it tiptoes its way there from time to time, It learns to stay off limits) as not too denounce peoples religious beliefs. No butthurt atheist developers that feel superior to religious people because they (in their viewpoint) 100% know what came before and after life and too got to push that ideology onto you. Big props to the developers for that!

Now about the game and how it runs. Amazing! The drawings look extremely detailed and worthwhile and aren’t reused too often which prevents the game from being too repetitive. The voice acting is top notch. If not the best voice acting I have ever come across in a game. You can really sense the emotions of a certain character just by hearing their voice. I couldn’t help but be amazed at how all the characters sounded so ‘too life‘ so to speak. It was as if you’re really there speaking to them face-to-face. You weren’t just playing the game, but you were part of the game. The graphics of this game are also beautiful including the lighting. While the game makes use of a lot of dark shades of color, it managed to stay atheistically pleasing by its twist of involving bright colors here and there. It was like the perfect mix of black and white. Did I mention this game got multiple endings? Not just that, every choice you make will affect the world you are playing in. So pay attention to what others are telling you and how you respond.

And lastly, the million [Your currency here] question: Is the game worth it? Absolutely! Even at full price this game is everything you could want from a game whose main purpose is it to make you decide who lives and who doesn’t. The colors used are very nice and not too bright, the voice acting is top notch and the storyline of the game is something you have never seen before (in a good way). Depending on how many times you play this game to try all the different choices and get various endings you might as well feel that the developers underpriced their own game. But even if you’re just going to play one game, you’re going to get your money’s worth. There were no bugs or other glitches that I personally have noticed so that adds to the worth of the game. Now that you know what this game is about and know not to worry whether this might interfere with your religious beliefs (which I am certain is a question that quite a few are wondering) there is nothing stopping you from getting this game! Make sure to enjoy it. Just don’t let others know about how many people you are murdering - you don’t want to be seen as a psychopath ;)
