I was skeptical at first, but Deadlock has ensnared me in a way that’s vanishingly rare. I’ve played Valve’s unreleased multiplayer shooter for 500 hours so far, and I’ve no intention of stopping. It’s my new Team Fortress 2. Heck, it might be my new Dota. It’s basically both at once, which is a feat of sublime dark magic, and phooey to anyone who looks in and claims this isn’t doing anything new.
