    The story: it's great, it's about the titular loop an island constantly lives in, in which you must break said cycle.
    The acting: phenomenal, you can't tell me otherwise, it's the absolute cream of the crop, period.
    The Gameplay: Much like Dishonored, in all the good ways, with some differences and improvements. You can create your own way of playing, making the game extremely replayable, besides the loop factor.
    Soundtrack: I love it, the theme itself is better than the last two Bond opening credits themes combined. Sound design is also pretty good.
    Conclusion: Arkane brought their A-game, yet again, with a Dishonored-like game good enough to be considered entirley different and actually better in some repects to Dishonored 2 or maybe even 1    … Expand

    gameplay mechanic - mediocre
    story - mediocre
    art design - good
    level design - good
    graphic - mediocre
    optimization - bad

    Gameplaywise it's like Dishonored, but much less fun. Story is not as interesting as people are saying. It's a very average game, and I was really surprised it's the biggest contendant at the Game Awards this year.

The game play mechanic of ''Loops'' is not used to its full potential and by the middle of the game it becomes a tedious chore of checklists. The Story was fine for the most part but nothing that interesting. All of your ''Targets'' are washed down characters with barely any background and story and look exactly like any other NPC which make them barely distinguishable from the other basic enemies. The optimization for the PC is one just awful and they still haven't fixed most of the basic issues that the game has. I would say avoid this game since it feels like they have barely tried to make a functional, entertaining and provoking game and failed miserably by giving up half-way through.… Expand

    As someone who dislikes getting grief'ed by "infiltration" PVP, unfortunately it runs really bad on PC and desperately need optimization, so all in all it COULD be a good game provided it's running smoothly.

    I can't help but wonder if this game would have been better with it's 2013 "vision".

    This is hands down the most amazingly, awesome game out there for PC/PS5! It has a combination of these games, all of which I loved: sneaking around assasinations= Hitman / Hitman 2. Hacking and codebreaking and finding your way into secure buildings= Deus Ex and Deus Ex 2, An on-going save system that feels like a real life experience, rather than a Save / Load your game type of videogameThis is hands down the most amazingly, awesome game out there for PC/PS5! It has a combination of these games, all of which I loved: sneaking around assasinations= Hitman / Hitman 2. Hacking and codebreaking and finding your way into secure buildings= Deus Ex and Deus Ex 2, An on-going save system that feels like a real life experience, rather than a Save / Load your game type of videogame =Bioshock, and some games I haven't played but here are good: Dishonored, and Dishonored 2.

    The top ten things about this game are from 10 being least cool to 1 being Awesomeness:
    10. Guns, lots of guns! Makes The Matrix look like a 1st day in the army where this is World War III. Think Borderlands games lots, not quite, but you get my idea.
    9. You can hack anything that has a radio reciever. Didn't you wish you could hack a radio reciever in real life in the city, such as a cellphone tower? Well here you can. That keeps me coming back for more hacking tomorrow and the next day.
    8. The AI chases you down and kills you. In the beginning, the first 5-10 hours the AI is very easy as it's in 'learning mode' once you keep playing after 9 hours you'll begin to realize how hard-core the AI can be. I was head-shotted by a sniper rifle, not Juliana human now..., but an NPC sniper on the side of the ridge. Shot through a window, I died. Very fast.
    7. Juliana can be your worst nightmare or your most trusted friend: I enjoy killing other players as human Juliana. I enjoy other Julianas' invading my game too, to try to ruin my day. But what I like most? I can have my family member play as Juliana and we can kill the NPCs together, even the bosses.
    6. There is no linear mission play-through. You cannot say: You will do this, that, and then next that. There are recommended guides online on order of doing things, but you can do them a different way anyway. The guide said there were 2 ways. I discovered 5 different ways to assassinate Harriet in the morning. See if you can too.
    5. If you enjoyed old-school games like Bioshock and Deus Ex, you will absolutely love this. It will blow you away. As it has aspects from many older games all put into one package. Liked Borderlands 1, 2 , and 3? Then you'll fit right at home here. Did you enjoy the 'magic' plasmids in Bioshock? Yep, check! Liked hacking like I did in Deus Ex? Here you can hack anything with an antenna. Welcome to Deathloop.
    4. There is no death. Only learning Yes you can die temporarily, but you are immortal repeating time, and you remember EVERYTHING. it's Monday tomorrow, it's Monday next week, and yes, you guessed it, it's Monday in 40 years until you break the loop. One day, you will learn how to break the loop.
    3. OP like there is no tomorrow. Sure there is overkill in other games. Not like Deathloop, no way. Deathloop brings overkill and overpowered terminology to a whole new level. Try throwing a sticky grenade to someone's body then shooting the stick grenade and watch the fireworks. How about tossing a grenade on the floor between two men and then diving out the window. Can you do that in Call of Duty? No, but it would be nice if you could. Now you can and you feel and act as quiet as a silent killer too... see reason #2.
    2. I always wanted to be a hitman, in a videogame. I loved the Hitman 1 and 2 games. What I missed was the fusion of silence & guns blazing. Here you can do both. Some days I do completely silent kills, I mean that, not a single bullet sound but perhaps a silent needle gun. The next, I will go out with an explosive-bullet shotgun and blow the whole city up.
    1. Nearly unlimited character development. I have not seen a game yet, that comes to this level of character development. Without spoiling here, there are 3 forms of development for Colt and Juliana. 1. Body upgrades, 2. Weapon upgrades, 3. Magic upgrades.

    THANK YOU Arkane & Bethesda Studioes for bringing us a masterpiece.

    See you in-game PS5 and PC players, try to kill me...oh! Did I mention, it's cross-platform on random invasions? Now I did...

    Sincerely,

I played through the whole thing because of the respect I have for the company that made Dishonored, which is an amazing franchise, the respect that they didn't have for us, the players.

    The story and the whole game could have been told in 2 hours, and the complex **** was in the end completely irrelevant.

    Gameplay-wise is Dishonored 2 but worse. The "powers" come for no reason, the explanation is "because potato", in Dishonored you have powers and there's an explanation for them, here the explanation is completely stupid.

    There are thousand of things not explained in the game, there are many Colts in the same timeline, for no reason (the loop doesen't affect other timelines), there's phrases throught the game telling you what to do, for no reason, and Colt lost his memory, for no reason. This happens every single time.

    The last thing I will talk about is the completely unnecessary ammount of text. There are notes everywhere, and they are not simple extra content, they are relevant to the story, so relevant that you NEED to read them, and it makes the pace of the game a bumpy road.

    Terrible, for real, Arkane better changes their approach and make a game on the level of Dishonored if they want people to believe in them again.    … Expand

    Very fun game, stylish and interesting game play with characters that are distinctive and memorable. It's too easy in parts, and I wish it were as deep as prey or dishonored, but it's still very fun. It runs fine on pc with tweaking, although the drm is crap and the void engine is still kind of not worth the cost. Graphics are decent too impressive, and over all I had a blast with the game.

    The good:
    To start I am a massive dishonored fan. Deathloop’s gameplay loop (heh) is very similar to it which is a major plus to me. The gameplay will consist of either sneaking around with powers or shooting everyone with help from powers depending on what you enjoy (I played almost all stealth) This game will not be for everybody but if you liked dishonored’s gameplay I would recommend trying it. Most characters are great with the two main characters being even better. The banter and diolouge between them was very entertaining. The side characters were interesting with the option to learn more about them through computer texts and papers (similar to dishonored but with less info and pickups in general)
    I personally had zero issues with performance on a mid level computer. I got around 110-120 FPS with almost every setting on the highest setting. Not a single crash either. I liked the way the game looked and the style of it.

    My problems with the game. First, the controller settings are annoying. The sensitivity on controllers is a problem as the highest setting still feels like turning through molasses. This is a fairly big problem with a game like this where movement should feel nice. No difficulty settings is a disappointment as I like changing the settings depending on if I want a challenge or not. The game is moderately easy. I didn’t die three times ever and only had to start a loop over on one area. The endings aren’t as satisfactory as I would have liked but are still acceptable with some loose ends and missed opportunities that I wished were explored more. Not as much freedom in finishing the main story mission as I would have liked as there is only one way to complete it but a good amount of freedom in getting to the final part. A power or 2 short to feel like a complete amount and a bit unbalanced. There is no reason ever to take off the blink ability and if you are stealth you take either nexus or aether and if you are loud you take either havoc or nexus with the other power having little use.

    No comment on the multiplayer as I didn’t try it and don’t plan to

    Overall/Tl;DR: Great game with very fun gameplay, great characters, fairly good story, mediocre ending, and good graphics. It takes around 20 hours to complete with moderate exploration but would say it is not as good as Dishonored 1 and fairly on par with Dishonored 2. Will not be for everybody but if you liked Arkane’s other games this game is worth a try.    … Expand

    The plot is a disaster, it's nearly non-existent except for the characters' background. There are no proper answers for the key questions or proper motivation for Colt or Juliana. Let alone other characters, whose behaviour is way beyond understanding.

    It's much less of an immersive sim than other Arkane games: only few objects are interactive and no skills except for the teleport and double jump can open alternative paths for you.
    The intro and intermissions are very mobile game style: tutorials that force you through menus for long boring times, taunts, rewards etc - I guess the dark age where the lines between mobile and PC blur has finally come.
    The combat is mostly shooting and it's the normal Bethesda style shooting, resembling Wolfenstein TNO, Fallout 4, Doom, Quake etc (Fallout 4 most of all).

    Great begin. The interesting visual style, but ... They promised a very cool immersive sim, but in the end, it turned out to be a very linear parody of dishonored. The game is linear. There is very little variability. The finale of the game is disappointing. There are also a lot of bugs.

    Pros:
    The story and characters are great
    the game is incredibly detailed with small objects in the background being highly detailed
    Good game length and very inventive gameplay mechanic.

    Conclusion:
    Only buy If you don't have a PS5 (Like most of us don't) Or You have an RTX 3090 and plan for ultra graphics 60fps.

    The Game is good story, gameplay and length wise but too buggy and unoptimized for the time being

    Deathloop, despite its flaws, shows that unique, innovative, and quirky big-budget gaming experiences are now coming to the new generation of consoles - giving people more reasons to think that now is a good time to upgrade.

    Ohhh that was so much fun! What an absolutely terrific game. Thats not exactly unexpected as Dihonored and Prety were all brilliant as well, but I was unsure about the whole loop mechanic here. It works well and putting it all together for one last loop was an absolute blast. Can't recommend this game enough!

    Perfectly adequate game but I'm struggling to see where the glowing reviews are coming from. Graphically, it's not great to look at and the distinctive Arkane style rubs uncomfortably against the 60s vibe where it had a charm in dingy Dunwall and art deco styled Talos.

    Colt is the best thing about the game. His voice actor is brilliant and gives the lines a lot of feeling.

    Colt is the best thing about the game. His voice actor is brilliant and gives the lines a lot of feeling. Otherwise, it's an fps centred game with a couple of marmite gimmicks which will make people confront whether they love the reality of PVP within a single player game as much as they love the idea of PVP within a single player game. And without the PVP element this is a very, very short game for the AAA price tag, even for all the repeat visits to the four areas you can explore in game.

    For those who have some framerate problems, you just have to lower 1 or 2 options in the menu, and remove the V-sync (but enable it in the nVidia menu of your PC), and then no freeze, no lag, no latency: I'm at 60fps constant with an RTX3070

    The story is gripping from the beginning to the end, and you have to let yourself be guided for the first 2 hours, to then live your adventure as you wish, exactly as with the other games from Arkane Studio (Prey , Dishonored...)

    After more than 20 hours of play, and I haven't finished yet, I still have the same pleasure to play it, and I think it could be the GOTY of the year!

    Have fun!

    C'est un excellent jeu, avec une D.A et un level design de haute volée !
    L'histoire est aussi intéréssante à suivre, du début à la fin.
    Ceux qui ont aimé les autres titres du studio (Dishonored, Prey...), vous allez adoré aussi Deathloop.
    Par contre le début risque de vous questionner, alors laissez vous guider les 2 premières heures du jeu pour ensuite pouvoir jouer comme vous l'entendez !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Of all the games that came out this and last years, she is the only one that did not tire me for all the passage. Although I'm not a fan of immersiveness, unlike Dishonored, I played differently. Stealth, rush, pacifism, and it's not that the game doesn't punish murder, but that it's just fun. In general, the gameplay is fun and interesting, the design leveled, as always, at a height in Arkane games, the sounds in the game are excellent, and the Russian voice acting is the best I've heard in the last
    couple of years, even counting the Sony exclusives. You can immediately see (hear) that a lot of work was done on the errors after Prey and all the best from Dishonored was fixed.    … Expand

    /Here you play as Colt, stuck in a loop, and to break the loop you decide your going to kill all of the visionarieries.. heres the problem… theres are 4 levels… and 4 times of day.. there are 9 total people to kill… and every day the loop restarts.. basically everything you do in a day is reset as if it never happened, so what youl lbe doing is day by day, morning noon afternoon nd night, finding a new lead, gathering more and mor information so that you can learn their on repeat daily routines, and find the moments where your targets are on the same map at the same time, or find ways to sabotage them for later on… and I loved it.. im so surprised how much I loved this game especially since the hwole point is to play the same 4 levels over and over and over across 12 hours… I though t there is no way Im going to enjoy this. Especially as a backtracking hater.. but I loved it.. here you start with one gun and the ability to double jump, as you go through levels youl lhave to take guns from enemies, you can stealth through this game or go in guns blazing, but you have to be careful, youre only allowed to die twice in a level, if you die a 3rd time the entire day restarts and you lost everything you’ve collected.. you also lose it all at the end of the day, but eventually you do have the ability to collect the games in game currency to be able to infuse your gear and restart each loop with it. But where is all the best gear? Its on your targets.. so you can kill these 9 harcters over and over and over, getting the best weapons in the game, but not only that.. they have abilities oy uxn infuse and take with you, like the teleporting ability from dishonored, you can link enemies together and if you kill one in a link they all die, you can turn invisible, do a force pushl.. the abilities and combinging them with eachother and your weapons make this game so fun.. and as you keep killing these charcters, if you already have that ability oyull gain an upgrade for that ability… its not all huntig and lead finding though theres a charcter called jullianna that’s trying to protect the loop..she is either controlled by a friend, a random person online, or the computer depeneding on your game settings, she can come in at anytime trying to kill you, though you do get some nice rewards if you kill her first.. but you can also just escape if she enters..
    Deathloop is a crazy game, it’s a blast at times.. but the game does definitely overstay its welcome a bit.. especially for a gme that expects you to play out the same scenarios over and over and over.. by the end I was just dashing through levels as fast as I could.. no care to explore.. felt no incentive to explore and the game definitely isn’t the best to look at.. how are we in 2021 on new consoles, with a AAA developer in a game where there are only 4 not that big levels.. and it looks like a late ps3 game..
    And other tiny gripes but gripes that do exist, are the missions where you can make one small mistake and oyu have to restart the entire loop.. there are no checkpoints here.. so while you can cheese it by closing out the game and loading back in if you die too much or make a wrong choice, its still annoying to have to start the whole level from the beginning
    Overall though Deathloop is such a unique game that I ended up loving almost as much as the dishonored series..

    You'll be falling to your death only to position swap with an enemy to save yourself

    You'll be blinking across rooftops and trying to get the better of another player than invaded your game.

There are no difficulty options, so you get what you get. I'm not even sure why they bothered putting guns and mods in this game when you can simply kick the daylights out of people or waltz up to them without them noticing.

Arkane have stuck to the formula established with the Dishonored franchise - first person stealth/shooter with an onus on characterisation and story. Even the art style is preserved in essence. And you can't really blame them for that given the success of Dishonored but they seemed to have convinced themselves that by adding the contrived loop system to layer the story, they could then pull the handbrake on innovation. For all intents and purposes this is a third Dishonored title. The graphics look fine in their own stylised way but I wouldn't call them next gen. Some of the texture work looks pretty poor (see the sea). No DLSS and a game that seems to labour most PC systems. You could overlooko these things if the gameplay was really compelling but it really isn't. If you are playing on keyboard you will have a crap time with the shift dodge. The character movement generally doesn't feel very satisfying, The gunplay is mediocre - no real skill required. The worst thing about this game is the enemy AI which is basic and easily overcome. This added to the unnecessarily generous 3 lives you get make the whole thing vey staid. You never really feel like you are in peril. If you are outnumbered rush back to the threshold of the level segment and shoot from there. Why would I then care if I have a special version of this gun or another if they all get the job done? The characters are fun and the writing in general is refreshing and often funny but it's really not enough. I would avoid unless you really loved Dishonored and can't wait until Arkane start doing something interesting again.… Expand

Новые механики работают, иногда со своими косяками, но в целом тоже неплохо. Концепт игры в виде петли интересен, его воплощение - весьма неплохое, сюжет не делает особых выкрутасов, но порой забавен, как и его подача в виде перепалок между антагонистом и ГГ. UI, управление и всё прочее, о чём не сказано - всё работает так, как должно. Геймплейных фишек, выбивающихся из лора игры тоже замечено не было. Сетевой режим "вторжений" может несколько наскучить, искать игру и караулить игрока в игре может быть долго, но не могу сказать, что он плох и неинтересен.

    Основное впечатление о моментах, на которые жалуются люди:
    1) Оптимизация и техническая часть
    Играл на 2070 Super. Просадок ФПС не наблюдал ни разу. За 25 часов игры было 3 вылета. Все они были связаны со снайперской винтовкой и стрельбой из неё, надеюсь, что баг починят первым патчем, больше проблем не было. При этом весь дневной прогресс сохранялся, кроме времени суток, на которых был вылет, что логично. В целом на каждом вылете я терял 5-10 минут своего прогресса. Страшно ли это? Да как-то не очень, если честно.
    При игре по сети и подключении к другим игрокам иногда проседал пинг, но в целом играть не мешало.
    2) Однообразность
    За эти 25 часов я всё ещё нахожу на уровнях что-то новое, всё ещё не могу понять каких-то связей и разгадать какие-то загадки. Может показаться за первые пару часов игры, что ничего не происходит, но локации и правда относительно неплохо меняются в зависимости от времени суток и действий протагониста.
    Также в первые пару часов может показаться, что в игре слишком много записок и подобных вещей, но это только в первые пару часов игры таким несколько неудачным образом включают игрока в лор игры, потом их становится всё же значительно меньше. Подобная проблема преследует множество игр, всю ту же серию Dishonored, но здесь гораздо меньше бесполезных записок, а некоторые из них представлены в виде аудиозаписей.

    В целом - я уверен, что через несколько патчей игру поправят и улучшат. Цена может показаться несколько завышенной, это правда. Но сдаётся мне, что в скором времени больше часть крупных игр будет стоить именно столько, это не первая игра, а уже тенденция. В крайнем случае можно подождать скидок. Но так или иначе - ознакомиться с Deathloop однозначно стоит.
    P.S.: услышал фразу, что оценку игры валят на метакритике. Захожу - а тут 160 голосов. Лучше составьте об игре своё мнение, она того однозначно стоит.    … Expand

    It's great to see a dev take risks with an experimental combination of roguelike and immersive sim genres as well as adding a ton of their own flavour to create something truly unique.

    The design choice of easier enemies compared to Dishonored is obviously to balance the game against the fact that you're constantly being hunted by other players playing as Juliana and that you don't have the ability to save scum like you did in those games.

    Those saying it's too easy clearly wussed out and turned off online invasions to their own detriment considering that's such a key part of what makes the game fun. I think I have about a 40% success rate at murdering colt as Juliana, and it would be much higher than that if the enemies were as difficult as they were in other Arkane games.

    You can tell by the reviews written by the people who scored this game and their lack of reference to what it was like trying to complete levels while being hunted by other players that they definitely had been playing with the main feature of the game turned off.

    Death loop has taken the dishonored experience and made a slow burning story that just builds as the player progresses. At first it can feel overwhelming when you first begin, but after the first couple hours of tutorials and introduction of story the game opens up into this vast expansive universe constantly changing depending on the players choices. Do not look at this game as a normalDeath loop has taken the dishonored experience and made a slow burning story that just builds as the player progresses. At first it can feel overwhelming when you first begin, but after the first couple hours of tutorials and introduction of story the game opens up into this vast expansive universe constantly changing depending on the players choices. Do not look at this game as a normal semi linear first person adventure but rather a rogue-like game where the story changes just as much as the gameplay. Decisions made in the morning can change entire parts of the map later in the day all to unlock a little bit more of the story. Like a giant jigsaw puzzle, every loop adds a little more to the picture of what is going on. Until finally you have a perfectly executed day where everything comes together and there is just this moment of utter satisfaction. If you like the film edge of tomorrow this definitely has that feel to it.

    My one slight issue with the game is that it feels not very optimized for PC. I have a decent PC that has not struggled to run pretty much any game I own, but deathloop just struggles if I have anything higher than medium graphics. I haven’t noticed much stuttering and only one instance of any extreme FPS drops, unlike some of the other people reviewing the game. For those on the fence I would perhaps wait if you are not sure if your PC can handle it, or perhaps try it on PS5 instead.    … Expand

    WAIT FOR SALE

    First off, I'm a big dishonored fan. I really like the gameplay, killing feels super satisfying and I like trying different ways to kill my targets. I understand the game isnt a narrative game in its core, neither a pvp game in its core, neither a rogue like.... but in the end of the game I was still expecting more stuff to be introduced, more maps, mechanics, new enemies,    WAIT FOR SALE

    First off, I'm a big dishonored fan. I really like the gameplay, killing feels super satisfying and I like trying different ways to kill my targets.

    I understand the game isnt a narrative game in its core, neither a pvp game in its core, neither a rogue like.... but in the end of the game I was still expecting more stuff to be introduced, more maps, mechanics, new enemies, better PVP experience, better rogue like experience... I'm was trying to find when things were going to start getting more interesting, and it didnt. I finished the game and now theres simply nothing else to do and no reason at all to keep doing that pvp.

    I do understand the logic of, oh you paid for 15/20 hour entertainment, but I have all the rights to come here and advise people that it was 17 hours of waiting something to happen and it never did, there was not a fulfillment, not a closure.

    I did 2 endings so far, the first one is extremely shallow, like oh its over, ok... time to move on... and the second is just a normal loop reset...

    this is definitely not a full priced game, it clearly uses mechanics from their older games, which would be 100% fine if they would add more to it, and if the game didnt feel more shallow than every single other game they put up. this is clearly a ""spin off series"" that should have a 20$ price tag.

    Just to be clear, I really liked the placement of the game, love the 60's vibe with all the technology, I loved the characters and the voice actors did a sublime work.

    I normally dont do any rants like this, but I just feel the cash grab rushed product feeling on this one, and they are still getting praised for doing a masterpiece product.    … Expand

    Very inovational, creative and one of a kind. Gameplay is smooth, the voice actors are amazing and not once have i felt bored or annoyed. I did not think much of it at first but it totally exceeded my expactations. But it's very different and not everyone's cup of tea. If you like the concept you'll have a LOT of fun with thidgame.

    Denuvo causes micro stutters

    After Dishonored was good, but the sequels were not i was worried about this. And yeah its not great. Main characters are not likable, we can't the player character at all. Very few areas and its only one day repeated. Its a trial and error to pass this, you don't feel get any sense of progression from playing like other Bethesda games.

    Maybe the game is way better on consoles, but on the PC it is poorly optimized. Me and 3 of my friends who also bought it got the same poor performance with different configurations. Initially I did like the loop. The island, even if small, is well put together and with the different day periods, you have a "false" sense of dynamism.

    I stopped playing after 15h because I got bored out of my mind. During those 15 hours, PVP was on and not once got my game invaded. I also tried to enter someone else's game without succes.

    That said, it's such a shame that all of this is hidden behind garbage of a port (for pc players out there) - I struggle to give the game any better mark (and trust me it could be a solid 7-8) if the game was not crashing almost every 25minutes for me. Due to the sort of non-existent saving system(which is fine gameplay-wise in this case, due to the concept) these crashes result to a really unplayable game and hard-to-enjoy experience. Such a shame tho. Maybe next time Arcane.    … Expand

    Performance issues galore, especially in PVP mode. Rubberbanding and stutters make PVP impossible. Plus, what the hell were they thinking for PVP mode anyhow?

    I very rarely do reviews but this one seems to be getting unfairly bombed. Yes it's annoying it is tied up with one platform other than PC (and , lets be honest there is nothing in there that couldn't have been ported to last gen consoles) and that it's not on gamepass but that's not a fair reason to give it stupidly low scores.

    I'm a huge fan of Dishonored, no this isn't as magical for me, the setting and the gameplay don't grab me as much (that was 10/10 for me) but it still has a good gameplay loop, great gunplay, some interesting abilities and the looping game starts to reveal itself as you repeat it.

    It's a good game, it runs very well (my system is no longer new, with a I5 7560k and gtx 1070 but it runs great in 1080P) so has good optimisation, it looks really good. Interesting design choices.. very 70's feel. The look wasn't as fascinating to me as Dishonored but again good.

    For me it is a solid 8/10 game. I'm not going to hammer it for what it's not or where it isn't. Fair is a fair another good game from Arkane. I deeply dislike timed exclusives and I wish they had never made such a deal but I couldn't resist their game at fair PC prices and I am not disappointed.    … Expand

    Deathloop is oozing with the style and quality that Arkane have in all their games. It's a brilliant concept combined with the Arkane DNA of solving things from multiple angles. If you loved dishonored then you'll love this.

    Deathloop is the kind of experience you can only get from video games and it's beautifully executed.

    Gameplay: ver boring, it takes several steps back from what you could do with dishonored and dishonored 2.
    Graphics: somehow the game looks worse than the footage we saw before the delay, which already looked bad.
    Story: boring and predictable.
    Conclusion: avoid this game, it is not worth it, Arkane simply have lost their touch.

    Good game - extremely poor optimization or Denuvo integration.
    When you have 100+ FPS on high-end rig, then suddenly 5-10 FPS for less then a second for no reason and then again 100+ FPS and this repeats 2-3 times per minute - that is not normal.

    No need to think twice, we had a lot of time loop games. But Deathloop can get the most out of all elements. And whether you're protecting the loop or destroying it, don't forget to die a few times, it's fun.

    Too much hand-holding, some glaring omissions in the narrative and its somewhat weak AI do let Deathloop down, but still, it’s a rare and exciting game made for both fans of Corvo Attano and those who never set foot in the Empire of the Isles before.

    I applaud Arkane for switching up the Dishonored stealth/action formula here, and for addressing a few of the issues Dishonored had. Deathloop just feels too limited by comparison, though, and too repetitive by half besides. I know a lot of people who really like it, but it fell pretty flat for me.
