Deathloop just works on every level and will be a game I’ll revisit time and time again. It may be one of the final Bethesda games PlayStation owners will be able to get their hands on, but it’s undoubtedly one of the very best they’ve ever published. To no one’s surprise whatsoever, Arkane have smashed it once again!

Another day, another loop, and with each new timeloop, Deathloop has me even more impressed. This Murder Puzzle on Blackreef is a highly engaging sandbox for experimental players, and a surprisingly complex detective game with its heart in the right place and the loop in every last detail of its DNA.

Overall, Deathloop is a satisfying game of cat and mouse. A great adventure in time and chaos letting you play the game how you want it. Whether you want to guns blazing or be quiet as a church mouse, Deathloop allows you all that. I recommend this game to casual and veteran players alike as it offers a lot to anyone who just wants to have an enjoyable and fun experience.

Deathloop seems at times like an attempt by Arkane to make its distinctive formula more accessible, so that it can finally boost its mainstream appeal. But we are always talking about a title of the highest quality, with a concept and a structure that are masterfully executed, an excellent multiplayer and a multi-level and creative gameplay.

Deathloop is a fun, vibrant shooter with an excellent art direction and a stunning soundtrack. For a game all about replayability though, this has a surprising lack of it once you’ve broken the loop.

Essential
Sep 24, 2021

Deathloop may not be Dishonored 3 or a Prey sequel, but one thing is certain: Arkane Lyon delivered yet another intellectual property worthy of keeping an eye on. The game simply astonishes with how its world-building, narrative, and gameplay all work together in masterful ways to deliver an incredibly unique experience. At face value, the game looks like any another Arkane title, and upon first boot, it may even feel like it is. After a little bit of further inspection and a whole lot of prodding, however, the surface-level worries are immediately blown out of the water. There is an ocean of gameplay possibilities, new and unique ways of Memento mori inspired storytelling, and world-building unlike any other. The game may not be the be-all-and-end-all, but it most certainly sets the bar for first-person action going forward. Simply superb.

Deathloop is one of the titles that will remain as a reference point in the current generation, and if nothing else, it shows that the Arkane's engine is working at full speed and there really seems to be no limit for the creators.

Deathloop's ending leaves plenty of questions and may not satisfy everyone, but there is plenty to love about the game and plenty more to see when another instalment graces our press conferences.

While Deathloop is overall entertaining thanks to its own way to slowly unfold the narrative around Blackreef with well crafted level design. It is held back by its terrible AI, lack of weapon variety and boring stealth.

As always Arkane Studios offers us a very original game with a lot of personality, but with some flaws that keep Deathloop away from excellence. Recommended especially if you are looking for a good experience of exploration and narrative.

Deathloop delivers a tense and exciting story from start to finish. Layers upon layers of complex and polished narrative elements build a juggernaut of storytelling perfection. With all of this built on top of solid gun controls, simple yet effective stealth mechanics and some pretty wacky special powers you have a game that delivers everything it should in all areas.

Arkane adds another wonder to his resume. Deathloop gives a twist to the roguelike genre and does so with tremendous gameplay and very original mechanics that keep us glued to the screen. It is not a perfect game, it has small flaws that prevent it from reaching the maximum score, but it is undoubtedly a must have in every rule.

Deathloop has had great marketing and amazing trailers, but it delivers an experience that strongly divided opinion. The plot holds the attention and, despite the stagnation at certain moments, motivates us to continue the campaign to discover the whole truth about Blackreef. The idea of a time cycle is interesting in the first few hours, but it becomes a tiring or even tedious experience after a few hours.

Deathloop is an amazing game where you have to breack the temporal loop. You will reset the same day after you get died, but, each time will be different. Getting some clues and information, you will be more preapred for the fight and to break the loop. This videogame has a wide range of options, so this way you can choose whatever you preffer based on your way of playing, that's really interesting. Break the loops and save your life, you can't miss Deathloop.

DEATHLOOP succeeds at the artistry of repetition with tight gameplay and the interplay between its systems. While the structure strays from what they’re known for, this is undeniably Arkane. In a lot of ways, this feels like a ‘Greatest Hits of Arkane’, offering a little something from all of their games. It’s a next-generation experience I won’t soon forget. I never tired of having to do the same kinds of things again and again. The loops are done are on your terms, giving you full agency. DEATHLOOP is the paragon of immersive sims, and standard bearer for the time loop sub-genre.
