Den of Wolves Previews
Check out Den of Wolves previews from Critics around the web.
10 Chambers is obviously the master of the cooperative shooter, but in this instance, I worry it could be to the detriment of its stunning world and great ideas.
Read Full PreviewThough Den of Wolves borrows quite a bit from Payday and other crime games, the setting, elaborate planning mechanics, and especially its surreal mind-hacking mechanics all made me feel pretty confident that developer 10 chambers’ return to the wonderful world of heisting has a good chance of being another stunning success.
Read Full PreviewAs someone who wasn't initially a huge fan of the genre, my experience with Den of Wolves has me thoroughly excited about co-op criminal behavior for the first time.
Read Full PreviewComing from GTFO, Den of Wolves feels much more in line with the difficulty curve that heist enjoyers would come to expect from the genre. There are still some obvious growing pains for 10 Chambers to overcome, but Ulf Andersson and his team already have a good feel for what their next big move will be.
Read Full PreviewFor those looking for a deep co-op challenge or just want to have fun with some heist gameplay, it’s certainly one to watch, whenever it gets around to releasing.
Read Full PreviewDen of Wolves doesn’t just borrow from the heist playbook—it tears it up and writes its own. While we were only given a small look behind the curtain of what Den of Wolves has to offer, it’s abundantly clear that 10 Chambers is “back on that heist s***” for the better.
Read Full PreviewIt’s another frank answer from a studio that looks ready to follow up its smoke-and-mirrors theatrics by getting down to business, delivering on those tall promises.
Read Full PreviewDen of Wolves left a pretty exciting impression and even made me want to go back and check out GTFO, the studio's previous game that's infamous for its difficulty.
Read Full Previewf the shooting gets a bit of a tune up and Den of Wolves launches into early access with a few interesting missions, it's easy to see a loyal fanbase gathering around the game like they did Payday 2.
Read Full PreviewDen of Wolves was fun as hell; while infinitely more approachable than GTFO, some will still struggle to find a core group of four to continually play with. Get some friends and get them committed.
Read Full PreviewBut, if 10 Chambers’ gambit pays off with regards to how it wants to fund and fuel Den of Wolves, well… perhaps the best of the studio is yet to come.
Read Full PreviewI could easily see this becoming the next big co-op shooter. It feels like the best parts of Payday 2 put into a sci-fi dystopian world with more intense, refined combat, and I can't wait for its eventual release.
Read Full PreviewThe team is looking at likely between a year and two in Early Access, but if this is what they have up their sleeves already, it’s gonna be a wild ride. I’m calling it now – Den of Wolves is going to blow your mind.
Read Full PreviewDen of Wolves is different from classic Payday in quite a few ways; the developers making it have changed too. Despite all of that, I’d still say that Den of Wolves is looking like the evolution of the Payday formula that we’ve been waiting for.
Read Full PreviewDen of Wolves could establish itself as not just another entry in the heist genre, but as the new standard against which future cooperative shooters are measured.
Read Full PreviewDen of Wolves doesn’t have a release date yet, but from our time with the game, it’s one to keep an eye on.
Read Full PreviewSwedish studio 10 Chambers’ upcoming title is a frantic cyberpunk take on the heist genre—and it’s riveting enough even in a pre-alpha build.
Read Full PreviewEven though the build we played clearly still had some work to be done, it’s already in a solid position.
Read Full PreviewAll in all, it's an impressive first showing for Den of Wolves, a sci-fi shooter with a lofty sense of ambition. Yet just as my in-game avatar walked past a room filled with forgotten and discarded droids, I can't help but feel that the last few years have seen many online shooters share the same fate.
Read Full PreviewDen of Wolves is another statement piece from 10 Chambers, and perhaps more clearly than ever, this is a game that’s about grasping the anonymity of the teams’ signature masks. Where the Payday games gave you the chance to be the villain, Den of Wolves explores some of the darkness that lurks at the edges of everyone’s psyche.
