    • Personal Thoughts on Death Note: Confrontation

    As a fan of the Death Note series, I found the game to be a fun and immersive experience. The build quality of the components is good, and the artwork by Marconi Torres captures the essence of the manga and anime. However, the game’s pricing and availability may be a deterrent for some players, as it can be a bit on the higher end. For fans of deduction games and the Death Note series, this game is definitely worth your time. However, for those who are not familiar with the series or prefer more complex gameplay, this may not be the best fit. Overall, Death Note: Confrontation offers a unique and engaging experience for those who enjoy the theme and style of play.
