I decided to take a little break from Visage. I've been going so long with the horror games that I felt like I needed a day off to cool down a bit. So the game we're playing today came at the perfect time. I hadn't heard about this game before but a friend of mine had invited me to the playtest so I got my invite on Steam yesterday.

The game is called Deadlock and this is a new game that Valve has been working on. It's still kind of a "secret" even though there are other people making content around it already. However, you can't find it on the Steam store and the only way to gain access is to get randomly invited by Valve or have a friend that already has access invite you.

I'm not a MOBA player usually and have lost interest quickly in the ones I've tried before. Didn't expect to like this one much but I have to say that I had a lot of fun today and I will keep playing it for now. It kind of feels like Overwatch and DOTA mixed into one game and I've only tried one other game like this before called Paragon(it died).

Come with me and let's try this game today! I'll be playing two different heroes in two matches and hopefully kicking some butts.

Also please excuse the mic being weird again. I feel like I'm getting it to sound much better now but instead, it cuts off a lot. Not sure why it's doing that but I'm close to getting it as good as I can soon so please bear with me.

See you tomorrow where we will continue with Dolores's chapter in Visage.

I think love the graphics and team effort though. And you pretty good at this game too

Haha yea I didn't do too bad. :D

You sure didnt

I’ve been hearing about this game but I didn’t expect it to look this way haha. I guess they’re not gonna be able to check and ban everyone who streams/posts about it. 🤣 Finally Valve giving its attention to something else other than CSGO🙄🫣

I didn't know they were working on anything new actually but it's nice to see something fresh from Valve. So far the gameplay is a lot of fun. I did hear that someone had been banned from the game for posting an article about the game though and I hope I'm not getting banned haha.

Why do I get the feeling that this company's games always seem to be created in the same mold? Just changing the artwork and camera view a little?

Well it is technically. I'm pretty sure they all use the source engine :D I get what you're saying though. It's been a while since Valve released an original game though so I'll give it a shot for a while at least even if I'm not a huge fan of these kinda games.

I wish I can try the game out myself but I certainly cannot. The graphics are cool though

Nice, I got an invite to test it out as well but haven't had the time yet, will check this out :D

Check it out! Let's play a game or two together sometime. Feels like I'm always getting rekt alone somewhere lol.

Yeah let's aim for this weekend!

What an amazing game to be honest i might even check it out if i have the time.

To be honest, it's such a great game that, if I have the time, I might even play it.
