    It is exactly what it is. A time loop in the same 4 maps over and over again.
    After the first hours of gameplay, you will grow very tired of the mechanics of this game.
    You´ll grow so tired of it to the point of making you sick.
    I never returned to Deathloop again. And i never will.
    Go with Hades or Returnal instead. Much better.

    This game is total TRASH!!! Nothing about it is enjoyable. Its the same 4 maps over and over again. The story is barely a story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Too grindy. Dumb bosses. There are only 4 maps that you play over and over. If you die in the gas chamber or ice, then you lose everything, wasting hours of collecting residuum. It's a game for children with hours of their life to waste on some boolean values. If you have a job, this is not for you

    Gyro aiming is good on the ps5.

    I'm a few hours into this now, and i'm.. bored? The FPS shooter stuff feels very last gen and not interesting, the game world feels dull, the AI is average, the story isn't all that interesting. I'm probably in the minority, but I don't feel compelled to boot up the PS5 and carry on with this.

    I feel like I'm missing something with this game.

As other reviewers have pointed out, this game is maybe a 3-4 hour game, forcing you to replay the same boring 4 hours over and over until you “Solve” the time loop. Total waste of time, total disappoint. Arkane use to be better than this and innovative. I for one , being a huge Dishonored and Prey fan, will never buy another Arkane game again now. Such lazy cash grab game development and paid for reviews it really shows. This is not game of the year. This is garbage of the year. And these devs should be ashamed of themselves for making a game with 12hr playtime and 3 hours of gameplay.

    I guess Microsoft got its unicorn. Hopefully Elderscrolls 6 doesn’t suffer the same garbage shortcut date as this pile.

    All the characters are very lamely written and there is not really anything to grab hold of and make you more interested in the hero or the villains.

    The replay value of this game is very poor when you are done with the story as there is no page content at all that you can take care of or some kind of challenges you can perform.

    One of the worst games I’ve played.
    Despite great looking animations and overall style of the game, it is a mess.
    Repetitive as hell, you will have to do same thing over and over, I know the concept, but when you need to run throw whole location to turn a switch to run second location and get a piece of paper to make this 4 more times. And if you get killed start again, it is just madness

    Whole story is consistent of UI mess and a tons of letter / notes and other staff that I have beed bored to read after 1st hours. Resurrection is special threat - if you die in crowded location, you will respawn in the same place, which leads to two more death and loop to reload. Please spare yourself and don’t play it. I got it with subscription and regret spent time.

    This game is a disgrace to what Arkane used to put out. Worse world interactivity than Dark Messiah (a 15yo source engine game released by the same dev), worse AI than that game and Dishonored (and many other, more prolific old PC games), edgy, **** voiceacting, and PC optimisation is a joke.

    This game gets boring very fast. Same repetitive gameplay. The story is uninteresting. I found myself rushing to finish the level just to see if the game would get better. I would try to play stealthily but the stealth mechanics are bad. I thought it was supposed to be like dishonored. Dishonored was awesome. Like hell is this a 10 out of 10 game.

    Avoid if you are planning on using a controller. The game feels awful to play if you have a bit of experience with first person shooters. The sensitivity seems to do almost nothing when you crank it up or down, and there are no real fixes for the issue. The game might've been great if they were to fix this issue, but it is unlikely given the age if the game.

My problems with the game are mainly the gameplay itself as I really don’t like anything about it. The gunplay is just terrible and guns themselves aren’t vary satisfying to use. The variety of weapons are slim and the modifications to them don’t feel like they change the performance of the gun much at all. The powers I just didn’t find vary fun to use, and they all seemed like lesser versions of dishonored’s powers. The stealth is fine pretty standard stealth system nothing really bad to say here. The A.I are so incredibly inconsistent that you could kill someone 3 inches from them and they won’t notice, but if your 3 floors above an enemy and bump into a bottle they’ll sound the alarms! The game also has a lot of bugs to work out from FPS drops to Clipping through objects.

    It’s not all bad though, the atmosphere is immersive, the levels "the few there are" are well designed, the voice acting is stellar, and the story is great! Overall I didn’t enjoy the game much at all, I relished the moments that I got to hear Colt and Julliana talk to each other because it was the best part of the game for me. The gameplay just really missed the mark on this one, it’s a damm shame.

So glad I didn't pay full price for this game because I knew it would be trash coming from Bethesda.

    On top of this all you have are a bunch of reused assets that get boring to look at after a day or two don't see myself buying another thing from them at this rate as they still cannot make a game without basic features that works correctly.

And even worse, the AI is not very good. I honestly can't figure out why a game that did not release on PS4 doesn't have better graphics and AI.

    If you want ray tracing and 60fps, I would suggest you try the PC version, except that the user score over there is even worse, because of crashing, stuttering, and stability issues, along with weird input lag. As expected the PS5 version does not freeze or crash very often. I have loved Bethesda games, especially Fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim. But this one is not on that level. The PVP is a lag fest. Recommend you wait and have people join you rather than join them. Lots of rage quitters when you put them down twice.

    People will say disgruntled Playstation fans review bombed the game as this game is produced by a Microsoft owned company, but if that was the only reason for bad reviews, why is the PC user score worse?

    The AI in this game is terrible and reminds me of the bots that used to be in Counter Strike before they redid the game in the source engine. Aiming is sloppy and imprecise. The guns have no visceral impact. Really wish I could return games via the PS-Store like you can on steam.

    The graphics are terrible and look very cartoonish. This whole "artstyle" stuff is just an excuse for developers to be cheap and lazy. When I pay $60, I expect high quality visuals, especially if it is a next-gen only game. The loop stuff is also an excuse to make the short campaign longer. The sound effects are laugable. The animations are trash. The physics are beyond horrible. The textures are pathetic, especially the water textures.

    The multiplayer is so boring. You can only play 1v1 invasion. No team deathmatch, no capture the flag, no nothing. The greedy developers were too cheap and lazy to develop a multiplayer that can hold at least 4 players. I don't recommend this game at all. Nothing in this game screams next-gen. It could have easily been a cross-gen game.

    Graphics: somehow the game looks worse than the footage we saw before the delay, which already looked bad.

This means playing the same levels over and over again until you discover what the visionaries weaknesses are. It's repetitive and not in a good way. Then once you complete a side quest on how to get them vulnerable and together usually in groups of two, you then need execute the plan.

    The time mechanic doesn't factor in at all because although you are stuck in a time loop it is split into morning, noon, afternoon and night. The only thing is you can spend as much time as you want in these respective time zones and the areas you choose to spend a time zone in but there is no real time timer like in majoras mask so the whole premise doesn't really work.

    Since triple A games face have become so free form that you can usually do whatever you want when you want this game doesn't allow for that and feels outdated for it.

    The abilities have been recycled from dishonoured aswell and renamed. Arkane manages to disappoint more and more with each new game since the original Dishonoured which I don't think they will ever surpass.

    Sorry to write this, but it's completely impossible to play RT mode on PS5. The mode itself looks disgusting (what happens to the shadows cannot be described in words), so it also starts at 30fps. Dear Arkane Games, please fix RT mode to PC level and make it 60fps. I really like the game, but what happens to the technical part is just awful.

    Deathloop offers well-designed stealth levels under the core gameplay of Roguelike. At the same time, the variety of weapons and special powers also support the exciting combat. Julianna's "invasion" adds the uncertainty of the game, but may also spoil the player's experience.

    I’m honestly surprised, because I did not expect to have so much fun with Deathloop. It draws some gameplay ideas from Dishonored, but introduces time-related mechanics, offers an intriguing story with interesting characters and has its own unique and coherent style. It’s an original game, full of surprises and addictive, but not necessarily easily digestible for everyone. For me however it’s one of the best titles of 2021. [11/2021, p.22]
