    Everything I like in Arkane Studios in games is here. I like to explore the same places for secrets. But the plot has more questions than answers, I would like to know more

    A great game. I've retired many times since some parts were too hard for me, but it's a great game.

    The first quarter of the game really invests you with its mystery and world-building, as well as the meshing of first person shooter and rouge-like elements.

Unfortunately, the potential falls flat on it's face after it's discovered very early on you can save weapons and skills from being reset for relatively little cost, and the puzzle of assassinating all targets within a single day becomes embarrassingly easy to solve. Stealth quickly proves itself to be useless and at that point, most of the levels turn into shooting galleries. The ending answers perhaps one or two of the biggest questions the player will have at the end, but most questions regarding anything regarding the timeloop are forgotten during an ending that lacks any sort of satisfying resolution. A charismatic lead, the world design, and a slightly interesting twist keep this game above mediocre long enough to make me disappointed the rest of the game couldn't live up to it's potential.… Expand

    Jogo estremamente pesado exige um PC de pelo menos 5 mil reais para ser jogado ainda bem que ele chegou no geforce Now para ser possível jogado em PC ruins em estão de gameplay tá boa melhor que dishonored e história é confusa no começo mais que você vai jogando vai ficando melhor diferente dos jogos da ubisoft que começa bem e depois piora

    Deathloop is appropriate name for game with such repetetive gameplay. Visiting 4 maps over and over again. Fighting juliana that is blocking tunnels every mission.

    This game is a confusing mess. There are only a few levels in the whole game, the point of the game is to play the same 4-5 maps (I played it a few months ago and forget the exact number) with not particularly hard NPCs over and over and over again until you can clear the whole map.

It's basically like doing 100% achievements in an open world RPG, except it's not RPG and you get only 5 small maps. I played it for about 6-8 hours, when I found out that's the whole purpose of the game, I shut it off and never looked back. Who in the world can think this is engaging?

    On top of that, do you know what really compliments a boring slog with a few maps? The worst saving system in the history of gaming. You cannot save during a map, there are no autosaves, you have to spend 45-60 minutes, slogging through the same boring unengaging NPCs otherwise you lose progress. Oh, the game crashed? Tough luck mate, you lose 100% progress. Godawful.

    I'm not giving it a one because the concept of timeloop has minor appeal, the NPCs and the story make a little bit of sense but forcing me to play the game to get the story is a big no-no, I'd rather play 30-40 hours of minesweeper over this as it has more variety.    … Expand

    Después de jugar la saga de Dishonored este juego se hace decepcionante. No me gusta el combate, se hace demasiado fácil. El juego me ha dejado a medias. Las repeticiones del bucle se hacen tan pesadas y tediosas que acabas deseando terminarlo lo antes posible sin enterarte realmente de lo que está pasando: entras, vas a hacer lo tuyo y sales corriendo.

    El final creo que es lo peor.

    I played it for 2 hours straight and was bored by it. I played stealthily and I noticed that AI is awful. They do not see you through the window of your apartment, not see you when you are loudly slashing their friends even when you just duck in plain sight 50 meters away but as soon as you stand up, they hear you even behind the wall.

They do not see you through the window of your apartment, not see you when you are loudly slashing their friends even when you just duck in plain sight 50 meters away but as soon as you stand up, they hear you even behind the wall. And when it comes to stand-off, they react very slowly, sometimes running in place and missing shots on me. Hacking their machines makes this game super easy. Furthermore, you can make them friendly and turn it against them which is just a terrible idea.


    The game is divided into 4-day stages and each is played in a different region, you always appear somewhere from underground. It is easy to run away, hide and you can die twice every loop. I thought to myself this game is very repetitive and I was curious whether it becomes more fun later on, I watched an IGN review, and they only praised the game and showed what I played already, they gave it 10 - masterpiece. Not reflecting the real quality. Objectively speaking the game has some terrible AI and interesting level design but is very demanding on mid-range gaming PCs. It has repetitive game-loops, useless character customization because it is first person, and the story is not really funny as it is trying to be not serious.


    Then I watched a different review from Classic game reviews and the guy mentioned the problems I have with the game giving it real objective review and IGN proves once again it breeds incompetent reviewers who are not talking about the game issues, moreover, say it is the best game.    … Expand

    Story and Gameplay are phenomenal but it just feel like the same garbage that is aimed at 12 year olds. By that I mean its very repetitive and it has a ton of unnecessary swearing in it that could have easily been taken out. But overall a good game but would only recommend buying if its on sale.

    This game is horrible and overhyped. Menu system is horrible and outdated, the game is a repetitive mess, the characters are not likeable (annoying sounding protagonist and antagonist), and the game has tons of freezing and crashes. Avoid this trash!

    Unfortunately, I didn't really like the game.
    In the beginning, I didn't really know how everything worked, and I didn't know until halfway through the game.
    The graphics were good, but I often had glaring FPS fluctuations.
    The story I found really boring and not captivating.
    The gameplay is cool but poorly implemented, as it's really annoying to get back to the same environment every time.

    Update: 1 year after this game was released and shortly after the XBOX version is released and I'm still getting crashes on a regular basis. Guess what game industry, if your game crashes every 20 minutes you can't make it roguelike! This is at least the 3rd chance I've given this game. There's something to like about it, but there's too much frustration. You're out Deathloop!

    This game    Update: 1 year after this game was released and shortly after the XBOX version is released and I'm still getting crashes on a regular basis.

There's something to like about it, but there's too much frustration. You're out Deathloop!

    This game can be fun, but it can also be infuriating. Overall, it's an okay game, but maybe not worth the hassle of the punishing game mechanics. If you're into repeating the same thing over and over, this may be for you. I was over that style of video game in the Nintendo Entertainment System days.

    The story is mildly interesting. It's mostly told through found letters and voice recordings, though there's also some banter between the main character and the antagonist and some okay cut scenes here and there. It's a bit hard to follow though, since you're getting it piece by piece in a very non-linear way. That's okay to do (i.e. Memento, The Sexy Brutale, The Forgotten City), but it has to be done well and that's not really the case here.

    The combat is okay. It's a passable shooter. Feels a bit like Fallout New Vegas. Gunplay feels a somewhat jerky and your guns are fairly underpowered. Considering that when combat starts you almost always get mobbed, it can get frustrating. So far there's a pretty small variety of weapons, but they pad it out with weapon buffs.

    My main gripe with this game is the cheap deaths. You get mobbed, your weapons are weak, occasionally enemies have super powerful weapons and seem almost invincible. There's parts where the game just kills you outright and you need to find some items/info to avoid that happening. The problem is you then have to start the day over, losing potentially a considerable amount of progress.

    I'm a big fan of the timeloop mechanic in general, but it's done very poorly here. More often than not it's just a mechanism for punishing you and padding out the length of the game by making you repeat actions. I don't find that fun at all. And again, it's especially punishing here because you have to repeat everything you did the entire day and you lose any items you may have picked up along the way. Timeloops are supposed to be a vehicle for interesting storytelling, where you get a little more information each time the loop resets, not way to make the player do the same thing over and over again.

    I'm 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through and I'm on the verge of rage quitting this game. There's so many cheap deaths and this game has a heavy handed rougelike style save system which doubles the frustration when the game decides to kill you off. So far 20 hours in I've had almost as much frustration as I've had fun with this game.    … Expand

    It's bland and repetitive, the latter being a design choice. I did not like the art style either - looks like Arkane's other game Prey. It plays very much like Dishonored (another Arkane title). If you like the titles I mentioned you might enjoy Deathloop as it just blends all that together and adds rogue-like elements.
    The gunplay is underwhelming. Overall another unimpressive Arkane title.

    The game has terrible optimization - RTX3070 and 8600K@4.8GHz was doing very mediocre. Otherwise the vibe of the game is alright, although a lot has been recycled from Dishonored. The game is pretty fun nevertheless.

    Gameplay loop is extremely satisfying and graphics are good, optimization is still not optimal but I had 100+ FPS on my RTX2070S @1440P Ultra, story is pretty good and voice acting is really lovely from the protagonist and antagonist.

    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.
