    This game lts no a shooter. Is a rouguelike with to bad in mechanics. There only 4 scenarios not pretty good and tiny. I know the game it's about a Bucle that you had to stop it, but it's annoying earing one and one again the same dialogs and killing the same bosses too repetitive. Grafics looks good with one or two bugs and the story is fine but this condition the game mechanics.

    I am not the type of guy who doesn't finish games but this one I just couldn't. After progressing long enough I had no energy to continue on. The combat is unbalanced AI is dumb and there is no risk factor other than the raid the antagonist does.

    A very mediocre game and Arkane's laziest work in my opinion (and I love Dishonored). Very boring, repetitive, and forgettable. I do not recommend playing this one at all.

    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 think the concept is cool but it's gets pretty old pretty fast and I feel in a genre as oversaturated as the FPS genre you have to do something unique in your gameplay and this just comes off as generic. I do like the main character and the way his story is presented.

    The well known menu bug still exists even after the last patch. This bug makes the game unplayable, because you have to restart the game when it occurs and because there are no saves within a day you will lose all your progress on that day. If you‘re unlucky, several hours of effort are gone. It occured to me twice within 4 hours of total playtime. 4 Hours of wasted life.

    Just like all Arkhanes games it's starts out with interesting ideas and ends as a mess of broken systems and undercooked ideas. Unlike their other games Deathloop is borrowing and cringe from the get go, not even the first 10 hours are fun or interesting.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The game starts off being somewhat fun, but after a while with a glitchy menu that forces you to close the game an restart all over again along with an utterly horrible UI that is supposed to help you navigate objectives an figure things out (which it fails to do most of the time) I don't find any enjoyment in the game now.

    You have all these stupid items you pick up over an over again that after a day or two of playing you have collected them all an its more like glitter trash.



    The leads for things don't work an I guess my game is bugged now because I cannot even complete the lead for reading Franks minicom even after googling it the stupid objective will not complete at all evwn after looping the day multiple times an doing all sorts of things players have recommended. 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.

I tried to be patient with it, I had to fight really hard to try to make it through the “tutorial” part of the game. Once the game opens up, it’s definitely better and more tolerable, but you realize that the game does not do anything well. At first I started getting into being able to enter any part of the map at any time of the day and it started to connect with me, but the more I played the more I saw the flaws in the design. The mechanic sort of feels like Majora’s Mask, where the world has NPCs that have a routine, but since time does not actually progress and you have to select the times, the four times end up feeling like four separate levels. Majora’s Mask created a better environment that felt more alive than this game, and that was 20 years ago. Then next comes the gameplay, which feels extremely clunky and awkward. Everything from the way your character moves to the way the guns handle just feels really awkward even after you get a hang of it. It makes the combat feel very unsatisfying, and it makes the stealth feel like it was designed for a PS2 era game. The AI is also atrocious, I don’t think I’ve seen AI this bad before. The entire concept of the game is pretty cool, but the execution was terrible. The plot isn’t very good, it’s just super convoluted, any time it starts to hook you a little bit it just loses you for another hour, and the world isn’t that interesting. The graphics are shockingly dated, they almost feel like an early PS4 game or high resolution PS3 game. Everything down to the controls are just confusing and not intuitive at all. Remember how bad the marketing was for this game, because no matter how many trailers they put out, you still didn’t understand it? That’s what the game feels like, except it’s not even saved by the gameplay. The voice acting is probably the only good thing about the game. It’s not unplayable by any means, but I just don’t have the time to sit there and force myself to pretend I’m having anything other than a terrible time. The fact that this game got a critic score of 86 and was nominated for GOTY, yet the user review score sits at 6.3 makes me really distrust critic reviews even more. It’s objectively not a good game.

Save yourself $ an buy any other game, including Chair **** Simulator, besides this crap. 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.

    The game has a few things first but it fails where a game needs to deliver the most - the actual gameplay. The controls are awful. Or even worse than that.

    No fov slider? (Slightly acceptable)
    But the most narrow fov I have ever seen
    No option to turn off motion blur? (Unacceptable)
    Weirdest aim response curve one has ever come up with
    And the super weird moving whenever you do any type of movement: climbing, crouching, sprinting..

    Everything is so unnatural. In fact, it's that bad that I can't really play the game for more than half an hour without getting motion sick. After days of playing, I slightly adapted. But the controls still feel like sh*t. This is absolutely not acceptable. How did reviewers give this game anything above a 8? It could be as fun as possible but these controls ruin everything.

    After you've gone through the first minutes and accepted the controls are terrible, you encounter something that's EVEN WORSE: The AI.

    I don't get how you could make the AI that stupid, unaware and predictable. You can walk straight past the AI, they won't notice you. Shoot people, they won't notice you. Shoot explosives into the ground next to them, they won't notice. It's that bad. Yet the AI is like everything the game has to offer? It's like start cycle, go there, slaughter AI, do X, go there, slaughter AI, do X, and so on, ..., repeat cycle, and slaughter them again. Yet killing them is the most boring, unrewarding and most unengaging gameplay you could ever imagine. The AI is so bad, you can just run through every area and just kill them as if it's cod, without any consequences. And that's not even bad, that's the only thing that's actually fun doing in the game.

    Now to the good things, respect where it's due you know:

    The characters and voice acting are amazing! They're absolutely spot on and the only thing that make this game enjoyable. Also the games design & music is actually amazing, even though the 3D audio and Graphics are very lackluster. Also gotta give credit to making use of the Dualsense. It's far from being as great as in Astros playroom or returnal, but at least makes the game a little bit more enjoyable.

    But as these are the only good things I suggest you watch a playthrough from your favorite YouTuber or streamer. You'll only miss out on the Dualsense but that's absolutely not worth spending money on. Get any other game instead.

    After the first hours of gameplay, you will grow very tired of the mechanics of this game.

There is no other way to play as the gunplay is so clunky and awful and your character is made out of glass and will die so quickly.

    The mission/lead setup seems novel at first but you quickly realise everyone plays exactly the same and it all takes place on 4 areas which are about the size of an average 6v6 cod map which obviously gets tedious very quickly especially as you keep having to go in and out of areas and advancing time and figuring stuff out yourself and repeating over and over and over again. It’s so unrewarding and doesn’t match the grossly outdated gameplay. The story seems decent but it’s a chore to follow with all the hoops you have to jump through just to play the game. This game feels like a £20 indie rather than a full priced headliner. Worth that price if you are willing to do almost all immersive legwork yourself and don’t mind an extremely slow paced repetitive grind. Otherwise avoid.

    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]
