    For me, it's between 8 and 8.5. The story was awesome, but you won't grasp everything by the end unless you read every single note and complete every side quest. I do wish the game fully revealed the story before the final act of the game.
    The A.I. can be dumb at times, but I feel it's also what makes you feel like a badass as you slash off the heads of unsuspecting eternalists.
    There weren't really any boss fights in the game and it did make the visionaries almost the same as the eternalists. Juliana was always the toughest to best in my opinion, and not because she was really fun to fight against, but because she spawns outta nowhere and unloads enough rounds into you to make you feel like the unlucky target in a firing range.
    With all that, I still had an awesome time with Deathloop.
    It kept me hooked from start to finish with intriguing mysteries, fun discoveries, tight gameplay and a long list of other great features I'm too lazy to mention. I don't think it's a 10/10, but I do believe it was very much worth my time and money.

      Juliana is the boss if controlled by a player who knows what they're doing and doesn't lag. Visionaries aren't really stronger than other enemies but they might have some gimmicks or obstacles around them that makes them harder to kill. For example Frank hides in his soundbooth while sending in goons and Charlie can teleport away from you.

    Yeah 7 to 8 out of 10 on PS5. The haptic and trigger feedback was phenomenal and I loved how immersive it felt. When the game was running on all cylinders it was fantastic, but after I wiped a map’s enemies it felt very empty and left me wondering it maybe I was playing wrong… I never beat it and don’t quite understand the entire story but it was fun.

      It's probably more fun with just 1 respawn because Colt is so overpowered with all the stuff he can get vs how weak every enemy is. It's only a challenge in the first few hours when you have no guns and no slabs.

      I never found Arkane games to be that buggy at all. Even Redfall day 1 ran OK, and that's the worst game they've made. Only issue I had with Deathloop is that online was very laggy for the invader, even by p2p standards.

  • @pandyssianrat

    Great review! This game was my personal GOTY for 2021. I'd say the game deserves it's "10/10" scores even if it has cerrtain problems in it. To me 10/10 doesn't mean "Perfect/Masterpiece" it just means I had an amazing time playing it and everything about the game clicked with me (this doesn't happen a lot to me). The characters are super fleshed out unlike the Dishonred games and every VA nails their lines to perfection. The level design is also more sandboxy in how you navigate through it (again unlike Dishonored) which makes movement feel so non-restrictive.
    For the full DEATHLOOP experience I'd suggest any player to turn on the invasions. Without invasions the game isn't DEATHLOOP to me. In the clockwork island where at one point you know every path, enemy placement and environmental hazard, Julianna remains the only threat till the end. Her tactics and loadout always change as no two player will play the same which always keeps you on your toes. If you don't like the invasions then you'll probably never have played what DEATHLOOP was supposed to be and come out with an incomplete experience (IMO).
    If I write more I'd probably turn it into a 10 minute review as well so I'll stop here 😁. I can talk about any Arkane game for hours and this is not even my favorite game from them but, this is the one I can talk the most about when compared to all of them.
    Also! Use your eyes people!

    I had this game in my games library from whenever it was on sale, and finally got around to playing it recently. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The system requirements were a bit rough for my pc, and I can easily run cyberpunk and basically any game so far, so it surprised me when there was this Video-ram requirement that I could just barely (not quite) meet with my gpu. Or at least that's what I think was causing the crashes, but I was able to still enjoy the game, because it didn't crash except perhaps once every 2-3 hours, and I think lowering the game's visual settings helped, but who knows.
    But anyway, the writing really does it for me, as well as the time travel shenanigans. It's a good recipe for fun... gaining knowledge over the events and taking out targets, it scratches some kind of optimization itch. It's like when you replay a game to perfect it, only this time the game encourages that, it's part of the design of it. Though since time doesn't really "pass", it's also able to be played leisurely. Like you can just hide when seen and wait till things calm down, even when there's a Julianna, lol. Patience as a tactical advantage is rarely explored in a fast paced FPS style game.
    As Juliana, it's also pretty fun, except for the very common lag / latency issue. Since the colt player's pc is acting as the server for both players, a good connection is not at all guaranteed, and for me it was only maybe 20% of the time that that connection was good enough to enjoy. Other times I would rubber-band back to the same spot, a sitting duck until found. So there is something that isn't done well there... please let me be paired up with someone who I can actually have a ping with. I'm sure the game could do this while match-making to eliminate bad connections and eliminate this frustration.

    I'd Give it a 10/10 because no matter what a game will never be perfect but the time loop mechanics was new, innovative and interesting. The "time loop" is an idea in a science fiction scenario that truly feels like a Christopher Nolan movie, with dialog written by Quentin Tarantino. There is as much action as there is discovery of mystery of the island known as Blackreef. I understand that some people don't like it and it's defiantly not for everyone. It starts off slow, and most people want the instant gratification of Shooting a "moFo" in the face as soon as they hit the "start button." But this game is more like a movie or maybe a novel. At first, you have to get through the build up chapters before you get to the action. Although it's a first person Shooter, this isn't "Call of Duty." You have to use your brain, and video games were designed for us to turn our brain off for a bit.

      Like it's a good game but nothing about it is groundbreaking.

    As a very casual gamer, I found it too difficult and tedious. I started progressing through the game using stealth, and it works, but it is very time consuming and slow. I know the developers intend for you to run and gun and have fast paced action in mind, but I just kept getting wasted constantly..I gave up out of frustration. There are too many options for holding and switching weapons, it can be difficult to hit targets, and there is a gigantic learning curve to learning how to survive and play well with a run and gun style. There are maps and times of day where I literally started and in less than one minute would get wasted by the eternals if I tried to take them head on. A game better suited for hardcore gamers than casual players.

      There's a lot of ammo but it depends a lot on what build you use. For example you can't get nails from vending machines and if you use dual wield then you'll spend ammo twice as fast. But if you use 3 different bullet calibers then you'll have loads of ammo. Problem is it doesn't let u carry a lot of 1 ammo type.

    So far I'll give the rating a 7/10 just because the AI is SO. DAMN. AWFUL. You can't ever be sneaky in this game without the having eyes in the back in their head. I'm not the type of person to good out gun blazing, I like to be little strategic with what I do in my playthrough. But deathloop this extreme habit of focusng you to go ALL out over some nonsense or noisy ass AI that decide to grow eyes in the back of their head or able to see you miles away. It was truly frustrating since the game has stealth perks, but the game just does not let you get your prefer playstyle. The game can be confusing at times, not enough puzzle hints and the controls were kinda weird on keyboard and mouse. I think its alot easier on console. I haven't gone through the story 100%, but I can tell its really good and I even like how every character has their quirks and personality. Each of them have their flaws and moments based on who you want to kill. I TRULY love the aesthetic of blackreef, I'm all in for anything retro futuristic of the 60s and 70s, similar to we happy few. The spitting image of WHF was EVERYWHERE, even for the enemies. If you ever play WHF you'll notice the similarities. The game in my opinion just gets 7/10, but if it changes my mind when I finish it, I'll give it a 8/10. If not, then I wont edit this comment which meaning my opinion hasn't changed.
