I play way too many retro games, so I was hesitant on this one. Since the reception is mixed, with audiences hating it and critics adoring it, I didn't know how my stance was gonna be. Surprisingly, I'm with the critics here, this shit was phenomenal.

There are many ways I can explain Deathloop, but the best is that it's half an arcade-y shooter with unbelievably fun gun-play, and half a Sherlock Holmes mystery where you have to piece clues together to find out the most efficient way to get by. Once in action, it's fucking glorious.

There are some mild problems with the game, like the Juliana attacks which are the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE, and the mines in Fristad Rock, but those pale when I enjoyed those 25 hours spent with the game so much.

The characters rule too. Colt is half badass, half idiot, Juliana is a complex character that I wish they focused more on, and Aleksis (sorry, AlphaWolf69) is greatest fictional character of all time. Fight with the wall.

Man, I really haven't played anything quite like this (probably cuz i was too busy playing fucking sega genesis games). The first hour after the tutorial took a bit to get use to, but once it clicked, it CLICKED. Easily a Top 10 game OAT for me.

Deathloop hat mich durch seine coole Zeitschleifen-Mechanik und faszinierenden Charaktere, die kontinuierlich ihrer Persönlichkeiten offenbaren, in seinen Bann gezogen. Dennoch war mein Weg durch das Spiel nicht ohne Hürden. Es hat ganze drei Jahre gedauert, das Spiel zu beenden, da ich immer wieder das Interesse verlor und mich nur mit einem Walkthrough durchkämpfen konnte. Dass Gegner deine Welt angreifen können, finde ich wie bei Watch Dogs eine coole Idee.

Besonders herausfordernd war das Questmenu, das anfangs schwer zu durchschauen war und mich oft überfordert hat. Auch das Gunplay startete holprig, verbesserte sich jedoch mit der Zeit etwas. Trotz der interessanten Spielidee und der tiefen Charaktergeschichten war das Ende des Spiels eine große Enttäuschung – es fühlte sich unbefriedigend an.

Deathloop captivated me with its cool time-loop mechanics and fascinating characters who continually reveal layers of their personalities. However, my journey through the game was not without obstacles. It took me a full three years to finish the game, as I repeatedly lost interest and had to push through with the help of a walkthrough. I think it's a cool idea that enemies can attack your world, just like in Watch Dogs.

The quest menu was particularly challenging, initially difficult to decipher and often overwhelming. The gunplay also started off rough but did improve over time. Despite the interesting game concept and deep character stories, the game's ending was a major disappointment—it felt unsatisfying.

So like i will admit this game isn't the best and the whole 1st hour just but fucks you with a million tutorials that don't make sense and just confuse you and it def gave me a few headaches and this game ran like shit and constantly crashed for me but like this game still rocks tho I love the concept I think the story is ok and I like the art style alot and the music hella smooth and the girl is so fucking fine ion remember her name but like I need sexy time with her but anyway yeah this gane is fun when you finally get into the flow like I loved using the that perk thing that made me hella fast shit was so cool and the powers were hella fun so yeah overall fun experience even if it's confusing more times than it should 7.5/10

A personal guilty pleasure of mine. The game is pretty creative in it’s conception, having to plan killing everyone at once is a cool idea. However I can’t really say how similar it is to Dishonored so to be continued on that front for now

I never understood the criticism for the dialogue and random text pop ups during missions, it never really offended me to where it hurt the gameplay.. The ending however was kinda mid, as it ends way too quickly and doesn’t really have enough time to flesh out what really is happening. Unless you absolutely explored everything, then it was a toss up.
