    Deathloop is a great game !! Arkane is a great Studio, and the studio gives us a complete work.
    The art direction is superb, just like in "Dishonored 1 and 2", the atmosphere is incredible, and they dominate their subject even in the level design.
    It's a good FPS, with good sensations in hand. For those who have some framerate problems, you just have to lower 1 or 2 options in the menu,    Deathloop is a great game !! Arkane is a great Studio, and the studio gives us a complete work.

    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 !

    Pour moi, il peut être dans la liste des GOTY de l'année !!!
    Bon jeu à tous !    … Expand

    A genuine masterpiece. There are some performance issues right now but there were with previous Arkane games too and they were fixed relatively quickly.

    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.

    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. It's like buying a pizza and scraping off all the toppings and then complaining that the pizza isn't very tastey.    … Expand

    Deathloop es un juego que trata de proveer la ilusión de que uno esta realizando una investigación sobre como romper el "bucle", uno juega como Colt, un protagonista sacado de las películas de los años 60 de acción, mal hablado, pero extremadamente bien escrito, a lo largo te iras encontrando con Julianna, quien al principio es tu némesis y en la mayor parte del juego tu mayor acompañante,Deathloop es un juego que trata de proveer la ilusión de que uno esta realizando una investigación sobre como romper el "bucle", uno juega como Colt, un protagonista sacado de las películas de los años 60 de acción, mal hablado, pero extremadamente bien escrito, a lo largo te iras encontrando con Julianna, quien al principio es tu némesis y en la mayor parte del juego tu mayor acompañante, iras visitando distintas zonas que cambian dependiendo del tiempo en el que las visitas, sea mañana, tarde, o noche.

    El problema con el juego es que es un juego guiado, la mayor parte de objetivos datan a seguir múltiples caminos predefinidos por el juego, en vez de seguir caminos que uno vaya creando mientras vas investigando a tus oponentes, hay siete visionarios y cada uno representa un personaje distinto con múltiples características interesantes en sus vidas y personalidades que te pueden servir para asesinarlos, pero todo es algo que uno no va descubriendo, es algo que el juego te va presentado por medio de marcas de objetivos que tienes que seguir y cumplir, para muchos esto fue una clase de "engaño" por el cual el juego pretendió ser un juego de investigación, en vez de ser un juego que te trata de dar la ilusión de esta investigación.

    Es un juego bastante variable en cuanto a la dificultad también para muchos, en lo personal me encanto el balance, es desafiante y te demanda ser cuidadoso, pero para cuando llegas al final de juego, te sientes que puedes aplastar a cualquier oponente que el juego te lance, esto también es una negativa para varios, no para mí.

    Además, las armas, los hackeos, y la presentación me encanta, la vibra de los 60, pero con el estilo del que Arkhane es bien conocido por juegos como Dishonored, o Prey, está aquí, me encanta los distintos tipos de armas que puedes conseguir y la manera en como puedes mezclar diferentes poderes para cambiar la experiencia, me gusta también como el juego te incita a matar a los visionarios varias veces y a cazar a Julianna para conseguir mejoras a tu equipo, para el final del juego, no importaba si el juego me estaba guiando en su mayoría, la mayor parte de mis mejoras las había conseguido por mi propia voluntad y determinación, esto también hizo que se sintiera lo mas gratificante.

    En general el juego me encanto, lo único que no me gusto fue el final por que el juego tiene múltiples de ellos y yo me esforcé por buscar el "correcto" de acuerdo a los diseñadores, pero por un desliz de tan solo un par de segundos en la escena final del juego termine obteniendo el final equivocado del que no estaba interesado.

    Hasta ahora el juego a recibido bastantes parches y balances, asumo que es un juego aún mejor que cuando salió ya hace mas de un año, si no lo han jugado lo recomiendo bastante, es un juego fantástico, solo que un tanto engañoso en cuanto a sus promociones y videos, sigue siendo un juego guiado y bastante, pero además es un juego que sobre todo es impulsado por su historia, esto es.    … Expand

    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,

    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.

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

The game doesn't put you inside boundaries, so you are absolutely free to play the way you want. The only problem I had is laggy PvP, but I'm sure it will be fixed. Also, I didn't have any performance issues, playing on 2K monitor with max settings, but many people were not as lucky as me. My favorite Arcane Studios game so far, still can't finish exploring the world after 30 hours and finished main story line.… Expand

    Do you still have to follow the leads to manipulate events in order to set into motion a day in which you can successfully assassinate all the visionaries and finally break the loop? Yes.

    Is that better than almost every other generic game on the market? You bet your ass.

    The main characters are great, their banter is great, their acting is great.

    If you played Dishonored then you're familiar with the sort of abilities you'll be using in Deathloop. Its a power trip.

    You're going to be flinging enemies 20 feet into the air

    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.

    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 game can be tedious at about half time through, maybe it was only mine problem, but I stuck at main quest, not knowing what to do. After and before that the game's plot is just epic.

    Everything you hear and everything that you look at is a masterpiece. I am constantly listening to characters' theme songs, they are that good (even that they all use the same tune but remix it in their character temper) The level design is top tier, I enjoy that unlike other games you have time to get known with location and its shortcuts, the feeling when you complete the last loop is pretty incredible. And don't get me started on visual appeal of locations, the mix of abandoned old city and 60's pop inserts is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Plot is good. People say that it has some interseption with Dishonored series, like guns' factory marks, overall architecture style but I don't know :3

    Some people complain on AI of enemies. I think they are as stupid as they need to be, if they were smarter, they would just beat main character by numbers.

    Anyways, among many bad releases of 2021 like BF2042, FNaF:SB, GTA:DE such games as Deathloop and Psychonauts 2 were a breath of fresh air. If you haven't yet, go buy it, it is worth its price (also it is a pretty common item on sales).

    /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..

    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 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.

    Deathloop is an immersive sim that takes place on an island stuck in a timeloop. You can access different parts (4) of the island at different parts of the day (also 4). I think most people who enjoy previous Arkane games, immersive sims or similar FPS games are going to have a lot of fun with this.

    That said, there are few things this game is not:

    Deathloop is not an extremely long, narrative driven game, where you are constantly experiencing something new. You have to play through the day various times before you discover the information / tools required to end the game and will therefore be visiting the same areas / time zones of the island a few times. While Arkane have done a great job making the same areas look different depending on which part of the day you visit, by its nature (timeloop) the game will make you visit the same areas a few times, which can be repetitive. You can finish the story in about 15 - 20 hours, after which there is not that much to do other than invade other peoples' games as Julianna.

    Deathloop is also not a roguelite, although it does have some roguelitish elements. It is not at all randomized, the story evolves practically the same way for every playthrough and there is a rather limited number of solutions. Even though you can approach the game with different playstyles (sneak, hack, combat...), there are not many ways you can actually end the loop, therefore the game has relatively low replayability.

    That said I have to commend Arkane for trying something really innovative. The timeloop mechanic is very well implemented, and while I can see other games down the road being much more creative with the puzzles and narrative in a timeloop game, discovering the island and solving the quests was a blast. Sometimes the game can hold your hand a little bit too much, but at other times it can be a little confusing as well, so I guess this balance can be subjective. I loved the art style, design and also the voice acting. While the island itself can seem a little bland at times, the characters in the game are well fleshed-out and acted.

    The actual gameplay feels great. The weapons feel powerful and are distinct from each other, the slab powers are fun to use although quite similar to those in other Arkane games. The A.I. is a little weak, but not terrible. One quibble is that there is no real motivation to go for a stealthy approach, it is much easier to just massacre everyone with no negative repercussions or different endings if you do.

    Technically the game is quite beautiful and ran well on my notebook with a 3070 GPU. I know other people have experienced performance issues, I have not.

    Overall, I commend Arkane for creating something really innovative in an industry that loves to churn out sequels and remakes to existing games. No, its not perfect, but still impressively well put together and fun, considering the ambitious and novel undertaking that this was.    … Expand

    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

    Really liked it. A bit short and the AI isn't great but the idea of fusing a mystery/puzzle into a first person shooter is something I definitely wasn't expecting. Trust Arkane to think outside the box and deliver something surprising. It's not a 10/10 or game of the year but it's still a pretty damn fine game.

Todo eso en cuatro escenarios más o menos abiertos que cambian según en cual de los cuatro momentos del día entras. Si unes a eso los hasta cinco poderes que puedes conseguir, la variedad de armas y la personalización de los trinkets, permite mucha flexibilidad en los estilos de juego. Es una base muy divertida de sandbox donde pasarlo bien. La historia obviamente va de loops temporales así que parte de la gracia está en descubrir qué consecuencias tiene afectar a un momento temporal en otros de los momentos, investigar lo que ha pasado y demás. El problema es que, en realidad, hay una única solución a la historia que hay que hacer de cierto modo, por lo que acaba llegando un punto en que dejas de investigar libremente para seguir las guías del juego en sus tramas y fuera.

    Gráficamente, el juego está bastante chulo, con una estética muy particular y que encaja mucho con si misma. Lo único malo es que como siempre son las mismas localizaciones con cambios menores, y los enemigos son todos humanos con máscaras, acaba haciéndose un poco repetitiva. El sonido es impecable, especialmente las conversaciones entre Julianna y Colt y sus actores (al menos en ingles) es genial, así como los efectos. La banda sonora quizás es lo más flojo, no es mala pero tampoco es memorable. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, el juego no ha tenido ningún bug de importancia, solo algunas cosas muy menores.

    Por todo ello, Deathloop es sin duda un juego recomendable, que además pese a que se acaba haciendo un poco repetitivo, como no es particularmente largo, pues llegas al final más o menos cuando todo empieza a sentirse "muy visto". Un 7,5.    … Expand

In my opinion this is not at all the case. While a rocky launch really hurt this games review it has a lot more to offer then most would have you believe! In a setting of mystery, science fiction with a groovy disco aesthetic characteristic of the 1970's Deathloop hold its own as a masterclass in style and substance.

    Story - In Deathloop you play as Captain Colt Vahn, who wakes up on a strange beach on a strange island where you very quickly learn a few things. 1)You're stuck in a time loop where every time you die or reach the end of the day everything resets. 2) This island is full of cultists of the The Visionaries, mad scientists, who all want you dead. 3) There is a woman named Juliana and she is actively hunting you every loop. This is about as far as I can go without spoiling the story but from here Deathloop manages to expand the narrative to and what happened with the characters on this island and how you as Colt are supposed to break this loop! Hopefully...

    Gameplay - From a purely gameplay perspective Deathloop is nothing out of the ordinary. It Pulls elements from games like Dark Soul in the multiplayer invade system and stealth gameplay ala Dishonored (Another Arkane title) and mixes it with everyones favorites indie genre, Rogue lites, to create a engaging and well thought out gameplay... LOOP. Essentially as Colt it is your job to traverse the island each day, discovering clues, killing Visionaries for upgrades and completing leads, this games form of quests, to progress the story. This Affords the player an insane amount of choice from run to run. All with its own benefits and consequences. Do you hunt a Visionary this time in search of a quick level up or skip that to collect information? Should you track a lead on a rare weapon or complete a side quest which might unlock an alternative route to a new Visionary. The choice is all yours, so choose wisely. This paired with an interesting but unique combat system, kind of like a run and gun dishonored crafts and experience unlike Arkane games has released to date.

    One last aspect I should mention is Juliana. While she does play a huge role in the story, there is one unique feature of Deathloop that stands out because of her. That is that other players can choose to play as Juliana and invade your game at a moments notice. While this won't happen every run, when it does it makes game play much more intense, especially if the Juliana invading is player controlled. These tense battles of wit and creativity are often the highlights of the game and resulted in the most memorable moments for me personally. Fair warning, some people do hack in this game (which sucks) but you can turn off the online feature and only face comp Julianas, which are not as fun but I digress.

    All in all Deathloop is a strange amalgamation of things which come together to form quite the intriguing and fulling experiences from start to finish. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves Arkane games like Dishonored or Rogue Lite titles in general.

    That being said, it's still a really good game. I just don't feel like it reaches the heights of Arkanes previous work but that just shows how great a developer they are. It's a pretty good game but you will love it or hate it based on how much you accept the repeating loop gimmick. The moment to moment gameplay unfortunately doesn't feel as good as previous games mentioned above. There is just something missing despite the stark similarities of the dishonoured games. Honestly, they lifted quite a few assets from those games, giving me a feeling that this world is somehow tied the world of Dishonored in some way.

    The real hook here is figuring out all the secrets and hints to slowly put together a "run" that successfully eliminates all the targets on your list. So basically it's a rogue like but things stay exactly the same every run through, and you just get better by repetition and remembering where things are and what time events play out. Fortunately the game does a pretty decent job of keeping track of things for you but in the heat of the moment it's a pain to have to look through all the notes and get your bearings.

    Long story short, it's still a pretty good immersive sim style game with a weird rogue like twist added in. I don't hate it. Not as good as Prey or the Dishonoured series though.    … Expand

    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).

    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.
