    La perfecta combinación de las mecánicas de dishonored y lo frenético de doom. Normalmente le pondría un 8 o un 9 pero me parece que los que hacen review

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

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?

    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become so free form that you can usually do whatever you want when you want this game doesn't allow for that and feels outdated for it.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 about 6 hours in right now, and genuinely, this is such a fantastic game. I find the gameplay loop incredibly addictive, and the graphics / overall vibe of the game is soo unique. 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!    … Expand

    Deathloop is a unique gaming experience and mostly appreciated by the open-minded. 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 youDeathloop is a unique gaming experience and mostly appreciated by the open-minded. 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.    … Expand

    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.

    will become too "repetitive" in the long term - unless there is an update.

This may be because I felt like with each in game day I had objectives to complete across multiple areas and I always accomplished at least one. 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. I like when games have an interesting story to tell and don’t require me to be the best FPS gamer. I found it forgiving in the best ways and I hope for a sequel or DLC.… Expand

    It's a really good game. There is a big number of immersive situations. You need to play, play and play to understand how to run the day correctly. I wanted to play stealth action one more time, I guess it's my problem. It is so bad, that there will not be any Dishonored in the future at least one more time.

    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.

    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.
