You Are (Not) Deadpool: A Marvel: Multiverse Missions Adventure Gamebook

Product Information

I read through You Are (Not) Deadpool three different times and ended up with three vastly different Deadpool adventures.

I thought Dedopulos did an excellent job at keeping Deadpool user friendly (since the reader is playing through the adventure with Deadpool, too many obscure Deadpool references would have only taken readers out of the story) while also injecting all the wit, sarcasm, and devil-may-care attitude that Deadpool is known for. As his unwitting fictional sidekick you are responsible for surviving his hazards, cleaning up his mess, suffering the consequences of his recklessness and, when necessary, going against his demands altogether.The instructions are presented in an unfussy and integrated way that gets the job done without delaying getting into the action. When reading CYOA or Fighting Fantasy back in the day, there was always a little extra thrill when you came across an illustration. As the ominously named Six, armed with only a piece of paper, pencil, and dice, you help our favorite Merc with a Mouth solve a case given to him by Matt "Daredevil" Murdock. Thanks so much to Aconyte and NetGalley for allowing me to read (play) and review an eARC of You Are (Not) Deadpool.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It makes for a really fun and immersive experience, and it’s something I’m definitely going to play multiple times. Nothing against Deadpool, but I'm definitely looking forward to the other Gamebook, She-Hulk Goes to Murderworld, also written by my good pal Tim (even if he doesn't know it. Throughout the book, there's also objects you can add to your inventory, but you can only carry five things at any time. I thought it only logical that to really succeed you'd still have to be very Deadpool-y, despite the (naff and dodgy) title.And congratulations if you manage to achieve an unlimited amount of points ( though Deadpool might have a thing or too to say to you.
