    After Dishonored was good, but the sequels were not i was worried about this. And yeah its not great. Main characters are not likable, we can't the player character at all. Very few areas and its only one day repeated. Its a trial and error to pass this, you don't feel get any sense of progression from playing like other Bethesda games.

    An absolute masterpiece. Highly recommended 10/10. Loved every bit of the game apart from the occasional hitches and performance issues.

    Must-Play worthy, now the wait for Redfall begin. Let's see what art Arkane can make next.

    Разработчики в наше время обнаглели совсем, выпуская "сырые" игры. Игра лагает на консоли, это второй киберпанк. Ну если отбросить все баги игра не затягивает и после прохождения в нее не хочется возвращаться.

    Amazing execution with game Design. the levels are fun and offer many ways to explore and some off the beaten path secrets. Fun FPS mechanics that goes in line with the studios previous games.

    This is a very solid game that rewards you for being creative and paying attention to the information it gives you. 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.

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.    … Expand

    In my opinion, while it's not a typical fps, it's still a work of art.

    Then we have poor performance, Denuvo crap, stuttering, lag on multiplayer, ah it's just quite sad really. Should have been much much better. I don't see me putting any more time into this.    … Expand

    IGN France gave this an 8. IGN around the world has given it 7s and 8s. But this game got 10s from both IGN USA and Gamespot, which is an incredibly rare occurrence - a game getting 10s from both of them. Something is fishy.

    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?    … Expand

    Game is a masterpiece and the fist game I have played in a long time where I lost time while playing. Super original premise, amazing sandboxes, brilliant voice acting, and an insanely addictive loop. Please don't pay any mind to the 0/10 scores clearly given by upset xbox folks that wanted this game to fail.

    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.

    @Turolo , agree with you. An 8.

    I've reviewed it on PC as i wasn't supporting money hatting timed contracts and higher prices, but I have to say the game deserves much better than to be review bombed.

    As good as dishonored? no, but poor? no. A solid 8/10.

The combat is not precise and shooting is very bad, AI of the enemies is laughable you can run rings around them so stealth is pointless.

    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.
