Deathloop

The gunplay is satisfying, the mechanics and physics are well-implemented, and the story is told uniquely. If you loved the dishonored series like I did and enjoyed playing any of those then you'll feel right at home here mechanically speaking it's fantastic fun especially on the PS5. I absolutely love the world design, the colors and settings. Whether you fall in love with it or not, it's hard for me to imagine anyone who has been gaming for years would regret taking this trip.

I'm so disappointed with Deathloop that I can't honestly find the right words. I recommend it on deep deep deeeeeeeeep sale. This game feels so cheap compared to other Arkane games, it's just sad. They had the loop gameplay from the Prey DLC and the powers from Dishonored and then they slapped the name "Deathloop" and BOOM! New game for you. If I have to praise one thing is the excellent voice acting from Jason E. Kelley and Ozioma Akagha, as well as the rest of the cast, and the excellent soundtrack which comes with an amazing end credits song.

I had fun, for sure, but that fun, after I got all 3 endings, came with an empty feeling. I just want to replay Dishonored again even though I finished it again 3 weeks ago!!!

Deathloop is a perfect demonstration of what can be achieved with a vocal protagonist. While it has a fun premise and solid gameplay, the running commentary by Colt (Jason E. Kelley) is what makes it for me. The game as a whole is severely elevated by its voice actors. I wish more studios would take this approach.

Aside from that, there are other merits to Deathloop, particularly when it comes to Arkane's map design. Throughout my run, I consistently discovered new things in each of the areas, and the open-ended nature of the maps (although not quite as good as the Dishonored games) gave me plenty of room to experiment with faster and faster routes to objectives.

The shooting mechanics also stood out as particularly good, something that is a bit shocking for a single-player narrative game. If the net code were better I think Deathloop would make for a solid multiplayer experience. As is, it makes the transition between playing Deathloop and competitive multiplayer FPSs far less jarring than games like Fallout or Bioshock.

My main criticism is that Deathloop stumbles slightly with its themes. The dichotomy between the two main characters is clear, but Colt's personal motivation for his role in that dichotomy gets fuzzy. As a result, an ending that could otherwise make a powerful philosophical statement ends up being emotionally resonant, but hollow.

Why Deathloop Become Masterpiece Video Games In 2021, Because Gameplay is Understanding, Excellent story, Graphics Games is Beautiful, And Very Enjoyable this Games, We Hope So to Get Nominees for The Game Awards 2021.

Rating: 10/10.

Arkane knocked it out of the park with this one. The writing and the characters and the style and the gameplay!!!!! It's so good!!!!
