The writing is absolutely top tier; Colt and Juliana's back and forths never fail to make me laugh and each visionary is unique and cool in their own way. I love the weapons, areas, and time cycle. Overall I highly recommended this game and im absolutely loving it thus far! Expand

    Anyways, here is my review.

    Game is a solid 8/10 for me. Fun and unique gameplay mechanics. You play as Colt and you can go in guns blazing or stealth your way through the game assassinating multiple targets in order to escape the loop. Dont want to escape? OK, then play as Juliana and invade other players around the world game to protect the loop. Your goal? Find and Hunt Colt, your way.

    I was looking forward for this game, but I was very disappointed. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it either, but I think this is one of those games that the majority of people will love or hate. After 6 hours of gameplay I realized that I've thrown my money away, it became so boring so fast. Not recommended at full price, wait for a sale.

    Another game from Arkane that doesn't measure up to the original Dishonoured. You can't kill the visionaries the way you want to.

You can't kill the visionaries the way you want to. You have to get them together in very limited ways at certain times. 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become so free form that you can usually do whatever you want when you want this game doesn't allow for that and feels outdated for it.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.

The soundtrack is on fire and accompanies the gamneplay very well. The latter offers two very fun game styles: stealth (ideal) or shooter for the most passionate of the genre. However, the game also has some small flaws including the graphics mode that jerks and the same thing for the graphic quality of the enemies that also have a bit too naive ia. The audio sector apart from the soundtrack is too low volume and the artistic direction is not very varied. Expand

    As many were, I was tired of the marketing cycle of Deathloop. I had seen enough, and was on the fence about getting it as a day one release. Needless to say, I read through a handful of critic scores, and thought "well, this does sound very cool, I'll get it day one with my PS+ discount!".

I'm as much a fan of the gritty realism of the recent PlayStation first party titles, but man oh man Deathloop is a breath of fresh air with it's comedy and design. I highly recommend!

You're Colt, and you're stuck in a timeloop of living the same day every single day on an island with a rival Assasin that other players can control or AI, and so-called Eternalists (standard mobs) who presumably are there by choice to live forever, and 8 visionaries which act as the game's bosses that you need to study and manipulate so you can kill them all off in a single in-game day to end the loop. There is surprisingly no timers during the actual gameplay so you can take your time to explore each map as long as you need, but you will mostly come to one of the 4 areas during specific times of the day to chase leads to ultimately unlock your knowledge to create a plan to off all the 8 visionaries in a single day.
    The environments are jampacked with great visual detail and storytelling through audio tapes that you can find, and notes including computers that the Visionaries chat with each other on that give you information that you can use to your advantage. There are fun guns that feel satisfying to use, as well as powers that are similar to what you had in the Dishonored games such as a teleport and telekenisis like powers or buffs. From killing Visionaries and the rival assasin Julianna you can loot Residuum, a resource which allows you to infuse powers, guns to be able to keep them forever even through timeloops... This allows you to progress your power and allow you to build different loadouts of guns and perks. The combat itself is pretty easy to cheese, and ammo is plentiful, i rarely felt the need to stealth and it's also easy to run away with your blink super power that allows you to get over rooftops with ease, especially after upgrading it. But all in all the game does what it does well, and I am excited for the future of such games involving timeloops.

    Deathloop is basically dishonored+hitman+groundhog day. The goal of the game is to find a way to assassinate 8 people that are keeping a time loop intact, while also having to worry about a rival assassin trying to prevent you from doing so. The game is executed very well, really the only issues I have with it are that the game is pretty buggy, and there's performance problems.

    It's a enough good game, while we know that right now there is no new cool games among all remasters and remakes. It feels Arkane's love for details and multiple ways to go through. But there is many bugs and sometimes I don't want to believe that Arkane make such buggy project. Also ending is not satisfied.
    Still the game is cool. And it's cooler the most of latest new title.

And I never lost everything I had because I could save items and weapons for future use in loops. The gameplay wasn’t always challenging and the AI easy to walk over, which could be an issue for some, but not for me.

    The media campaign, with this game being shown so much raised red flags. I am disappointed with IGN and will be looking at IGN in other countries, such as IGN France, from now on.

    While this game has some cool qualities, it suffers from bland graphics that in no way deserve the rare masterpiece score that mainstream sites in this country are giving it. 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?

Haven’t seen anything like it before. It can be a little confusing at first to get the hang of how all the various systems interconnect and I can imagine that this would turn many people off quickly, but once you get to grips with it all it’s really quite novel and rewarding. The game play isn’t revolutionary and is very much like dishonored. The guns are cool and the powers feel great to use however there’s not many of them thus you are left feeling like you’ve hit your load out sweet spot early on.
    The core gameplay and gunplay does feel good although it feels a little sluggish if you are used to something like cod.
    The art style is cool although not a showcase for ps5. Everything is crisp and sharp by design but isn’t a show stopper. The AI is pretty poor. NPCs don’t see you when they should and rush you unrealistically when they do.
    That being said the game is very good due to all the aspects of the game connecting well and just feeling right. Story is cool and very clever however you have to put in a bit of work to understand everything going on, it’s not spoon fed to you.
    I’m having a blast with it and I think 8 is a fair score. Definitely not a 10. Pick it up and give it a try. If you connect with it quickly you’ll find it rewarding and probably finish it if you don’t then you’ll probably give up pretty soon after starting.

    A bland disappointment that wastes nearly all of it's potential.

    As a big fan of Arkane this was a massive disappointment, it feels like a step back from their previous releases in almost every way.

    Alright let's start with the story. While neither Dishonored nor Prey were masterpieces in this regard Deathloop is just terrible. Extremely thin characters, boring paint by numbers plot and a shallow world. This is not helped by how zany and quirky everything is, the game tries painfully hard to be a comedy while being maybe the least funny thing I've ever played.

    Visuals:
    The game looks ok I guess. It's not great but not terrible, overall I'd say it's pretty close to Dishonored 2 with slightly better textures but with a significantly less consistent and refined art style.

    Alright now my main issue, the gameplay. The gunplay is ok however becomes extremely repetitive very quickly and it feels rather clunky, the same is true for moving around the environment which is weird given how smooth and dynamic every last action in the Dishonored series felt.
    The powers are pretty much just worse and more limited version of what we got in Dishonored. The Loop gimmick is fun and novel exactly once after which it becomes nothing but an annoyance and a chore.
    The game is also extremely easy, to a point where you don't really have a reason for even doing anything except sneaking past enemies or just killing them.
    It also quickly starts to feel more like a mildly tiresome chore where you have to deal with minor annoyances while you run from point A to point B where you have to do massive amounts of backtracking through these small, uninteresting and empty feeling areas.

    Is it the worst game I've ever played? Definitely not, but at its best it never rises above mediocrity while being outright terrible in other parts.

    While the game is not a true 10/10, it is by no means anything lesser than an 8-9 game.

The user score right now is ridiculous tho, so I'm giving it a 10 to improve it at least a little bit.

    The game plays fabulously, the story is intriguing, the interaction between the main protagonist and Julianna above all is hilarious and very well written, the combat is really fun and adequately challenging. Especially once you progress a bit further into the story. While it's true that there are only 4 locations, they are just the right size so that they don't feel small and at the same time it doesn't feel tedious to explore and to backtrack. The areas also play differently during the 4 phases of a day, and there's always so much to explore and to discover.

    The only true downside I'd point out is the AI. While it's not terrible in general, it has its "moments". One shining example is that if you are in any way above the AI's eye level, it just fails to register you at all. This one time, I was for example standing on top of a one meter tall cliff, right next to which was a road patrolled by an AI enemy. The AI was directly facing me, yet did not register me. This truly should be fixed. Like I said though, overall the AI is not so bad and it's certainly not anything to bash the game with a low score.

    I truly don't get the review bombing that's happening right now. The game might not be for everyone, but then again it's an Arkane game. Everyone should know what they're getting into by now. If you liked Dishonored you'll love this.

    The added multiplayer function of this game is something I really like. It can be punishing to play the level and then be killed and have to loop back to do it again, but you then get to find new ways to approach the level. Deathloop has been a great experience for me so far and look forward to the rest of the game.

Геймплей естественно напоминает прошлые работы студии: стелс-экшн (уклон в ту или иную стороны зависит исключительно от самого игрока) с развилистом дизайном локаций для вариативного их прохождения, но в отличии от того же prey или dishonored, игра все таки более лояльна для экшн прохождения. Здесь у нас и большое количество разбросанных патронов и аптечек, оружие, которые можно забирать у каждого нпс. Для восстановления "маны" теперь нужно просто немного подождать. Почти все традиционные супер-способности также ориентированы на экшн действия, а не стелс. Выбранный сеттинг и его реализация - суперские! Что особенно хочется отметить, так это главного героя Кольта. Мне очень нравится, что он постоянно что-то комментирует. Персонаж сразу становится очень живым, и его мнения по поводу той или иной ситуации довольно забавны. Вообще, подобный подход я первый раз подметил в серии Uncharted, и очень рад, что его стали применять и другие студии. Джесси из Control, Марианна из Medium, Бласковиц из Wolfenstein. По сравнению с прошлыми играми, ну может быть локации не столь вариативны и ветвисты, но тем не менее они не потеряли в деталях. Где-то, например, стоит автомат с викториной, пройти, которую, можно только найдя страницы с историей острова, которые на самом этом острове и разбросаны. Можно встретить начинающего игрока на гитаре, который с каждым пройденном интервалом времени суток будет играть все лучше и лучше. Конечно, из-за жанра рогалика, путешествие с подобным геймплеем по одним и тем же локациям может утомлять. Хотя, здесь, наверное, все зависит от вашего скилла. Ну или просто не стоит пытаться пройти игру в нонстопе. В целом хорошая игра! Expand

    I seen someone else say it’s not a 10 but since the some are giving it way too low scores he will go the other way. If that’s the case here I should give it a 0. It’s not that bad though. It’s sure not a 10 though. The story and characters should be better. Especially the characters. Art style, It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it is what it is. I’m used to it.

Now I did end up writing a very in-depth review, but because I’m writing on chrome on an iPhone 8, I momentarily left the tab even though I thought I had copied it (to paste just in case what happened happened, but it didn’t work. So my apologies for the lack of depth in this review

    1. The Combat, while fairly easy after a couple hours is amazing. Stealth is an easy but satisfying option every time. Every gun is unique and has its own personality (and I won’t lie the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback in the PS5 Dualsense definitely help with that) but even without that the gun play is superb. The hacking is also very ingenious and simple, while very fun. There is nothing better, than having no clue to infiltrate a compound to kill your target, without being spotted, when you spot a hackable turret in the room with them. 2. The Visuals, while staying pretty close to the classic “painting-in-motion” style of Arkane’s previous works, it still never fails to create a beautiful and detailed game-world. With the addition of Raytracing, this classic visual style is only enhanced. Also a shout out to the 60s (in my opinion more 70s Spy Thriller) atmosphere in the game. If a game now goes for a dated vibe, it will usually take tons of cues from the 50s or 80s, but the 60s/70s aren’t common and make the game feel like it has just that much more personality. 3. The Systems and mechanics of the game are very complex at times but interesting, and come together like a very hard to piece together, but beautiful 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle. The time-loop does well not to fall into a common trap set by similar time-loop like games. It doesn’t get boring. This is very important in the context of a game with a time-loop or 1 life mechanic in place, because there will inevitably be a lot of back-tracking and familiar sights. But in my time with Deathloop, I haven’t got bored at a single sight. And that, is impressive. The load out and set up screens are great at making you feel like your choice is truly respected, with many ways to set up, approach and look at a mission. Basically the game gives you a set of Objectives and lets you do literally whatever you want with them. The game is very centred around non-linear progression, and it rocks. The Loadout screen is great, and over time, you truly build up a dream arsenal, with your favourite weapons, abilities and perks (I guess?) equipped.

    4. The Levels are very distinct. Updaam is a small residential district, with lots of little apartments, independent shops and things like a mansion and public library. This has 4 time periods to explore it in, like all 4 of the levels featured in Deathloop. Each time period (morning, noon, afternoon and evening) drastically change the enemy placement, environment and even the events within the level, essentially making those 4 levels, 16. The Complex is basically what it sounds like. This is a complex… out near the ocean, with ice and snow galore at most times of the day, research facilities and the reactor/structure powering the loop. This is a very interesting level, and provides quite a bit of lore. I will leave out the other 2 locations as I do not want to spoil too much. It’s a joy to explore every environment in this game, and there is an unbelievable amount of variety for 4 levels. 5. The Music is hands down the best OST of any game this year so far. A lot of jazz and spy/mystery type notes and tunes. It really promotes the atmosphere of the game in a way only comparable to Fallout, with it’s licensed 50s music. But those were optional radio stations! This is engraved into the game. The way it almost feels like it’s playing to the sound of the in game gunfire, a bit like Doom. It’s soundtrack is a big part of the game, and that is a fact that is only accentuates how good it is. It also has some pretty big names, such as the theme tune performed by FJØRA. 6. The Plot follows you, Colt, skilled marksman and assassin trying to regain his memory after waking up on a beach on The Isle of Blackreef. He finds out that someone of the same tactical and combative prowess as him, Julianna Blake, is trying to kill him because he wants to break the loop. So, continuing what he thinks is his main goal, he intends to stop the timeloop tied to Blackreef, by killing all 8 Visionaries in one day. 7. Verdict: A very unique game full of game personality, and another high quality immersive sim from Arkane. I haven’t even mentioned the top notch voice acting and hilarious writing of the game, but that’s something I hope you find out for yourself! this is a must for any PS5 owner, and an end goal for any who don’t own the matte white tower for themselves. Pick this up as soon as possible. 10/10

The gameplay is noticeably smooth starting with the movement and especially standing out in the gunplay which is complimented incredibly well by the DualSense controller haptic support. Each gun truly feels different and immediately responsive to the players input. The various slabs and trinkets allow you to approach the levels differently on each loop and explore the wide array of options to complete each area. This is my first Arkane game I have played but after playing Deathloop I will definitely be going back to their older titles and paying close attention to future releases from them.

    I recommend giving this a try if you have a PS5. My only advice is to be patient and stick with it, the game is best when you can emerse your self and recognize all the unique gameplay opportunities the game provides. If you're looking for a mindless title you can fly through without really paying attention, I wouldn't necessarily tell you to completely stay away as there is still plenty of mindless killing to be had, but I would say that you won't enjoy the game to its fullest possible extent and will really be missing out on a large chunk of what makes the game so special.

    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.

    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.
