    Une resucée de Dishonored dans une version « rogue-lite », c’est-à-dire une version où la sauvegarde manuelle est interdite et au cours de laquelle on recommence régulièrement les mêmes conneries comme dans ‘Un jour sans fin’… vous n’avez en effet qu’une journée pour flinguer 8 cibles et soit vous recommencerez parce que vous êtes mort (votre barre de vie est vraiment fragile par défaut etUne resucée de Dishonored dans une version « rogue-lite », c’est-à-dire une version où la sauvegarde manuelle est interdite et au cours de laquelle on recommence régulièrement les mêmes conneries comme dans ‘Un jour sans fin’… vous n’avez en effet qu’une journée pour flinguer 8 cibles et soit vous recommencerez parce que vous êtes mort (votre barre de vie est vraiment fragile par défaut et le combat est foireux) , soit parce que la journée est arrivée à son terme…

    Et le lendemain donc, il faut recommencer… avec certes bien des informations, des armes (et des pouvoirs… que l’on obtient qu’en flinguant et/ou reflinguant telle ou telle cible) mais c’est toujours la même chose en fait… et notamment les mêmes quatre environnements à explorer.

    Oui, vous avez bien lu, seulement 4 environnements disponibles, 4 niveaux qui manquent singulièrement d’imagination et de créativité… ainsi que de variétés d’approche, un comble pour un jeu qui privilégie l’infiltration ! laquelle fonctionne malgré tout assez bien les premières heures, le temps de la découverte… mais qu’est-ce qu’on s’emmerde par la suite !

    Le jeu entier fait « pschiiiit » avec par exemple son histoire complètement absconse qui nous passe carrément par dessus la tête… les deux personnages principaux sont creux et oubliables et n’ont aucune raison d’être, à part celle de satisfaire un agenda wokiste.

    On est donc en présence d’un Dishonored particulièrement dégradé, trop léger, trop superficiel pour convaincre en quoi que ce soit, très en retrait des vrais Dishonored à tous les égards. Même sa patte graphique ‘années 70’ s’avère maladroite et globalement assez vilaine. Cette boucle nous les casse donc un peu trop sévèrement pour qu’on persiste ! on n’est pas maso non plus, quand même.    … Expand

    Good things: graphics and art style
    Bad things: lack of progression, gunplay, weapon variety, forced stealth, awful UI, music, glitches, puzzles, and enemy variation.

    Waited a long time before picking this up and in fact, i just finally played it on Gamepass.

    Making only four environments and calling it a time loop game must be an easy way to save development money.

    This is nothing more than a reskin of Dishonored but it’s nowhere near the same quality

    Annoying voice overs and interaction. Terrible map design, graphics appears from last gen. Enemies are not even challenging. Over pretentious game. Overall disappointing, if this is the top 2 xbone x game damn.. :/

    Seriously don’t get the hype for this game…. Clearly has some favouritism because it doesn’t deserve the score and other games are reviewed much harsher.
    Buggy, AI sucks, gunplay is decent but nothing fantastic. I would recommend you don’t buy this game. And weird story. The studio has lost it since Dishonoured

    The shooting in No Man’s Sky is pretty much as bad as it gets. The shooting in this game is WORSE than that. Arcane honestly has no idea what they are doing. Prodeus shoots better than this and it probably costs 1/100th the cost to make.

    This game performs horribly on Xbox Series X! The menu crashes several times, and it can barely keep 40fps. What a complete waste. It's not even worth putting on Gamepass. If this is the sort of quality we can expect from Arkane going forward....yikes! MS better get their money back.

    This game is more beautiful in the Ps5 and the dualsense make the game experience much better.

    This game is horrible and overhyped. Menu system is horrible and outdated, the game is a repetitive mess, the characters are not likeable (annoying sounding protagonist and antagonist), and the game has tons of freezing and crashes. Avoid this trash!

    Best voice acting and chemistry I've heard in a video game so 2 points for that. With that out of the way, sooo incredibly overrated. I love Arkane studios projects with Prey being my personal favorite. Their immersive sims are intricate enough to make one feel smart as they progress while still keeping you in the edge of your seat with action. Deathloop fails at both of these.

The game is the product of nobody saying "no that actually sounds like a terrible idea. Playing the same levels, losing everything you've found unless you "infuse" it? No one is gonna like that." Unfortunately that's exactly what we've got here with an overly convoluted style of telling what could actually be a decent story. Pair that with braindead AI and clumsy shooting (which was never Arkane's strong suit, and you're left with a chore of a game that you'll celebrate finishing, then never return to again. That's if you even finish it in the first place.… Expand

    I wanted this to be good, but it just fell short in many ways. As of November 2022, there are still many bugs, and it felt as if the development was rushed. Tried to push through but only made it 4 hours in before getting bored.

    There’s a lot to love about DEATHLOOP, from the characters, the powers, and a story that is just asking to be made into a movie. There are some audio hiccups that hurt the experience, but they are easily overlooked because the rest of the package is extremely entertaining. I put just under 40 hours into DEATHLOOP before I rolled the credits and I plan on going back to knock out some achievements and side quests. I am very excited to see what the team at Arkane is putting together for us early next year with Redfall. DEATHLOOP is and will always be a part of Gamepass, the best value in gaming today and it should not be missed or passed up. Play this game!

    Deathloop’s debut on the Xbox Series X is equally as good as it was on the PlayStation 5. You get the same great story and the same perfect gameplay experience. Choose one and enjoy.

    There’s lots to love about DEATHLOOP, along with its sizzling style and refreshing gameplay structure. However, in practice, reliving your day over and over does come with limitations.
