    Bad console port as per Arkane Studios standard. Bland story and gameplay. Not worth any time or money.

    The only positive thing I can say about this stuttering, repetitive and un-inventive game is that it inspired me to replay the original Dishonored since this game plays exactly the same as that nearly decade old game however Deathloop has none of the charm, interesting level design or quests like Dishonored has.

    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.

    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

    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,

    Crashloop or Groundhog Day.

    The game crashes at the same spot everytime so I can't progress & complete the main quest. Support is not helping. Steam doesn't refund since I played more than 2 hours before facing the problem.

    The idea of replaying 4 small maps over & over sucks: same enemies & items in the same spots...

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

    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.

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..
    I give Deathloop

    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.

    You can wait for a 50-60% discount and take it, but buying it for the full price is stupidity.

    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.
