    Deathloop is a smart and fun game that uses time loops. You are Colt, who must kill eight targets before the day resets. You have many choices, weapons, powers, and gadgets. You explore a beautiful and lively island. The game is funny and charming, with clever dialogue and a rival who can attack you. But Deathloop has some issues. It has bugs, glitches, and long loading times. The storyDeathloop is a smart and fun game that uses time loops. You are Colt, who must kill eight targets before the day resets.

    A true masterpiece, Arkane really don't miss, the great thing about deathloop is that it doesn't follow the old boring formula of missions missions missions get to the final boss, kill the final boss and roll the credits. Instead it follows a unique formula that depends on your own planning skills to get all targets at the same spot in the same time, the gameplay is so fast and fluid,A true masterpiece, Arkane really don't miss, the great thing about deathloop is that it doesn't follow the old boring formula of missions missions missions get to the final boss, kill the final boss and roll the credits.

Of course it's arkane so the dishonored kind of abilities… Expand

    If Dishonored remains my favorite Arkane, this comes right behind it. Smooth gameplay, technically excellent, and crazy story. Played in Multiplayer it makes it even better but even in Singleplayer it is not bad. Only flaw, Julianna appears many fewer times than expected and the AI is pretty mediocre. Recommended!

    Two thumbs up. Voice acting is incredible. Game might be overhyped but it's definitely worth a shot if you have it included with Game Pass.

    Another Unique game made by very talented team, Deathloop is fun, clever and unique...I can't recall a game has this much of mechanics that put together to make the ultimate sandbox experience...the player is in full control which is awesome.

    An interesting and unique game. I've never experienced something so fresh in gaming. The "loop" made me hesitant as it just seemed like it would be a repetitive game, which it is to an extent, but no more than any other rogue like title. The graphic style is fantastic and a perfect fit. The dialogue is original and interesting, and not over done like so many. The gunplay feels great, notAn interesting and unique game.

    Deathloop É um dos melhores jogos que eu joguei em 2022 tranquilamente! O gameplay do jogo é extremamente divertido apesar de seus gráficos que, eu considero uma vergonha. Uma pena que esteja recebendo review bomb pelo simples fato de ser do xbox studios e isso acabe afetando as vendas do game. ele é muito bom.

    The game design at work is a masterclass in player immersion. So many layers of things to uncover and figure out how to string together. Plus a ton of interesting side things going on that help build the Blackreef microcosm. Pick Rexly was probably my favorite one (don't Google it, or anything, just find it).

    I played on PS5, and it was my GOTY. I intentionally only went for one ending, expecting DLC or something eventually, and the experience of returning to Blackreef has been enormously fresh. Even knowing many of the things happening on Blackreef, it's hard to track exactly when and where everything had to be done, so the experience still feels like-new.    … Expand

    Full playthrough review on Series S.

    I assume you all have seen the online reviews of the critics. This review will be about my experience as opposed to a through review.

    I assume you all have seen the online reviews of the critics. This review will be about my experience as opposed to a through review.

    Out of all the Slabs that give you your powers, the only ones that I really used were teleportation and invisibility. I wish I was able to use all of them like in some past Arkane titles but sadly you can only equip 2 at a time. You can however swap out powers at your base in between missions.

    I was concerned about the Juliana character that invades your game every so often. I set my game to single player and found the AI Juliana fairly easy to kill. In fact out of the many times I fought her she only won once. She only appears on maps where your visionary targets are. No visionary on the map means you can explore with no worries about being jumped by her. I would have preferred no Juliana interruptions but found the great loot she drops worth a bit of a tangle with her.

    I played stealthy. I upgraded the teleport ability so it freezes time for a moment after a jump, making targeting hard to reach places easier, I also extended its reach. I also upgraded the invisibility ability so that shooting does not break it and made it so that it uses no power when I was not moving. I mainly used a silenced weapon that would refill a portion of my power meter after each headshot. So basically I would find an elevated position with a clear line of sight of the enemies, go invisible and get headshot after headshot with each shot recharging my invisibility. Basically becomes a god mode. When fighting visionaries or Juliana I used hard hitting weapons that drain their health and power rendering them easier to take down.

    In the end you have to kill all 7 visionaries in one loop/day. Sadly it is not like the Hitman franchise where your targets can be dealt with in a number of ways. I am not saying there is no room to get creative with your kills, but there is not much.

    With that said, I really enjoyed Deathloop and hope they come up with a sequel.    … Expand

    Good premise, fluid gameplay, addictive loop (ha!).

    Particularly want to mention an array of options to make the game as hard (tough enemies, 1 life per loop) or as easy (infinite lives, one shot kills) as you like.

    DEATHLOOP is one of Arkane's best games, taking on mechanics and Dishonored and Prey. DEATHLOOP is really nice to play, there's a nice gun-fight gamelplay and passing variability.

But at the same time, DEATHLOOP has a weak plot. If you do not immerse yourself in lore, do not study locations, then it may seem scarce and primitive at all. DEATHLOOP needs to be explored, this is the only way to enjoy it. The mechanics of Roguelike have benefited the game, it brings to life the classic game play of Arkane games. At the same time, the mechanics of another player invading your world are mediocre, it breaks the rhythm of games and is completely unbalanced. DEATHLOOP is a good project to start a new franchise, despite being Dishonored's answer. If you fix all the problems of the first part and invest good Microsoft funds in the sequel, then you get an excellent game. In the meantime, DEATHLOOP is a very nice Arkane budget experiment… Expand

    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.
