    Eh. Game is fine. Gameplay loop is solid but that’s about all it has. Somewhat interesting setting and premise but not executed well. Visual design is good. Colt is a cool character. But everything is mediocre to just decent. Reviewers gassed it up too much

    Очень странная игра для Arkane. Я думал, что Mooncrash, единственное длс для Prey, это просто эксперимент, неудачный эксперимент. Но, как вижу, студия прям пропиталась идеей создать игру о "Дне сурка".
    Короче, в игре всего четыре карты и четыре временных отрезка дня, так что путём не сложных подсчётов имеем 16 более менее отличающихся карт. Хотя по сути это всё те же четыре уровня, только в зависимости от времени суток, нас выпускают в разных точках, проходы могут быть закрыты или открыты, может светить солнце, а может падать снег. Всё.
    По началу я запутался во всём этом сюжете как в лабиринте, но со временем всё становилось яснее.
    Стрелять удобно, есть уйма настроек помогающих стрелять или делающих стрельбу более сложной. В игре 8 стволов (каждый трёх уровней), плюс 3 золотых ствола и 3 золотых снайперки с разными характеристиками. Но казус в том, что где то через два часа игры я нашел некие золотые пистолеты "Стрелак Версо", которые можно объединить в один пистолет пулемёт. И... всё, это оружие заменяет и автомат, и дробовик, и отчасти снайперку, с обоймой до 96 патронов! Невероятно мощное оружие. Всю игру прошел только с ним. Как то даже обидно за прочие пушки.
    Скажу одно, картинка в игре выглядит устаревшей. Почему она вышла только на новом поколении, понять трудно. При том HDR работает ужасно, на улице всё засвечено, но стоит зайти в помещение хоть глаз коли. И настроить это невозможно, пришлось HDR выключить.
    Все враги, включая "боссов" это однотипные, безликие болванчики. ИИ отсутствует как таковой, прут напролом, десятками, а иногда сотнями.
    Вся прокачка, это подбор стволов и неких брелоков, которыми можно улучшить героя или оружие, к концу игры и стволы и брелоки вываливаются просто десятками.
    Игра очень, очень однотипна, бэктрекинг естественно просто зашкаливает. Но как не странно, весь этот цирк очень затягивает. Проходя уровни по 10 раз начинаешь строить какую то тактику прохождения, хотя к концу я тупо пробегал, особо не заморачиваясь.
    Итак, подведу итог. Как я уже сказал, Deathloop, как не странно, затягивает. Но я, честно говоря, не хотел бы что бы студия Arkane ещё делала подобные игры. Есть id Software и всякие мясные, бездумные шутаны это её поле деятельности. Arkane же мне больше нравилась как автор приключенческих игр, таких как Dark Messiah, Dishonored, Prey. Пусть делает то, что у неё получается лучше всего. И ещё, Arkane Studios, картинку в играх пора менять!    … Expand

    The gameplay is a bit repetitive. There are fun abilities you can use like the teleport and the havoc ability, which lets you throw enemies around, but in order to obtain and level up these abilities, you'll have to do some grinding. Another part of the gameplay is finding clues to discover how to take out all the visionaries in the same day by making efficient use of the 4 times of day completing objectives in the 4 levels, all of which require completion at a certain time of day. This was fun to do.

    Deathloop was a very decent experience, which took me around 18 hours to complete, but probably not an experience I'll play for a second or third time.    … Expand

    Gameplay was really fun at first, but started getting tedious after 10h or so - same weapons, same (stupid) enemies, same 4 relatively small maps, same powers. Story really hooked me at the start but the ending felt a bit underwhelming, the game left a lot of stuff unexplained. Cool art direction. Nice music and voice acting. The game had a lot of potential but ended up just solid.

    I had so many expectations! The concept was so intriguing. There were a time, when I thought it could be an interesting stealth aspect, however it works really clumsy.

    At some point an ability should appear, that could help you with saving all that weapons and abilities, you've previously found.
    However I got bored before i got to that one, so I just spent about 5-6 hours running circles.
    Literally, I had to start the game all over again 3 times, because I died))) That's how this concept works)
    Also, game feels really small scaled, cause there're only 4 locations, where you can go in the morning, evening etc.
    Obviously, dropped it, trying to find something else to accompany my current mood.    … Expand

    Very ambitious game. Most of my problems with the game come from me just not liking stealth-based games - especially FPS stealth games. But that aside, the game was just mostly very monotonous to me. Very cool conceptually, the best Arkane-style gameplay yet, but it just wore thin relatively quickly for me.

    Some technical issues are still present, which is quite something when you consider they had one more year to fix bugs on the Xbox version.
    On the long run, the gameplay loop fails to keep the player engaged, it lacks something I can't put my finger on. Too bad, it's still a good game, but not a great game    … Expand

    Interesting game mechanic where you replay the same day like 'Groundhog Day." It's well-executed in the sense that there is a large amount of player agency in the game world, and depending upon the order of the levels you visit, and the actions you take, you can affect future visits in the day, or even other areas.

It's well-executed in the sense that there is a large amount of player agency in the game world, and depending upon the order of the levels you visit, and the actions you take, you can affect future visits in the day, or even other areas. It reminded me a bit of Majora's Mask inasmuch as people go through a routine that you can affect in various ways. It also reminded me a lot of Alpha Protocol, as there is a large amount of game reactivity and consequences to the choices that you make. The game is filled with puzzles and mysteries, and a lot of the fun comes from discovering how to unlock them for yourself, because although there is some hand-holding in the form of main quest tracking, a lot of the puzzles in the game give little information on how to solve them, and require a lot of exploration and a bit of luck to figure out. The combat is well-implemented and fair. Your character is powerful, but can get easily overwhelmed if you draw too much attention to yourself.

    There is one glaring flaw, which is that the game only saves at the beginning of every mission. So if the game crashes, you have to replay the entire level. This is very bad, because there are no manual saves, and levels can take hours to complete. I was finishing up one level and heading towards the exit when the game crashed. Boom. I'm out 1+ hours. This is extremely frustrating. Most games with a single save profile like Dark Souls, or rogue-lite games, save repeatedly while you play. This is good design, and what Deathloop should have had.

    Another poorly implemented mechanic are the online Julia fights. Do yourself a favor, and immediately turn off the online feature in the game, because if it's on, other players can invade your world as Julia. These players have been playing far longer than you, and have much better equipment. As someone who lived and died by Dark Souls PvP, this is completely stupid in a game where if you die, an enormous amount of work can be undone. I was killed in 2 seconds by a player-controlled Julia and set back several hours.    … Expand

    The sound when using headphones is great. You can hear things like water droplets from a leaking pipes behind you and a conversation happening beside you. It is very good at making you feel immersed in the game. The music is great and goes well with the style of the game.

    The game is extremely fun to play and could spend over an hour on just one objective trying to go through defeating all the enemies. I would say the gameplay is the best thing about this game.

    I enjoyed the storyline which I found interesting and easy to follow. On top of the interesting looping concept.

    The online mode is fun when it works (but it rarely does). You can spend 10-15 mins waiting to connect for a 5 minute game.

    The AI are okay in this game. When you are spotted, not every NPC finds you straight away unless you are in a crowded area. They can also lose sight of you if you run away fast enough. I find they are pretty realistic compared to other games. They can be a bit too easy though.

    I dont like the in game menu as you spend ages in this trying to upgrade your gear and it can be confusing at first.

    Overall this game is really fun to play for a few hours. For me the only things that bring it down is the online play, the in game menus and the fact that the AI can be easy to run away from.    … Expand

    It's like going back in time and playing a PS3 game, only with better resolution. Everything else feels like it was made 15 years ago. Nothing worse than an FPS that doesn't allow you to interact with anything at all in the world, even shooting objects or knifing walls renders dissapointing results that I'd have expected in the Playstation 3 era.

    Compared to Dishonored games, Deathloop is definitely not as mysterious in its storytelling, but it would be a lie to say that characters and the world are not charming and wonderful. If you've enjoyed Dishonored's gameplay, this is that but crazier and more open to a non-stealth approach. Highly recommend.

    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]

    Deathloop is Arkane at its best, combining its system-driven immersive-sim gameplay with a unique and fascinating story set-up. Excellent presentation and style, along with fantastic dialogue and character performances makes Deathloop one of the most innovative games in years and a valuable PS5 exclusive.
