This game made me feel like a kid again. What an astonishing, revolutionary game. Start to finish absolutely masterful and breathtaking. What a game. Top 5 games of all time easily.

One of the best games I have ever played. I played it two years ago but still remember the layout of all maps. Top notch art design and music. It's sort of rogue-like but each run carries some progress even if you get taken out. When you finally piece together all the puzzles and clues and break the loop it feels really satisfying.

Deathloop is one of the most innovative games from a major publisher that I’ve ever played, using the time loop mechanic to fantastic effect. With lots of clever puzzles and engaging combat, as well as a genius multiplayer element, this is one of the best games of 2021 yet.
If you've been waiting for the PlayStation 5's first true killer app, this is it. Deathloop is an innovative and satisfying take on the shooter genre that you can't afford to miss. Developer Arkane Studios has managed to take Dishonored's rock-solid foundation and hone it to a razor's edge. With a rewarding progression system and a gameplay loop that encourages experimentation and exploration, you can't help but wonder why Colt would ever want to break this cycle. Sprawling, cerebral, and consistently exciting, Deathloop deserves a spot in every shooter fan's PS5 library.
A rich and diversified gameplay is at the heart of Deathloop, the like Arkane is known for, but the studio, or Bethesda is too shy of letting the player explore by himself et ruin the pleasure of exploration. Also, the invasion mechanism is a little too... invasive.
Deathloop is in a weird spot. It isn't as good as Dishonored, but I also don't expect to see another game in the series. If you want to support the studio or need a Dishonored fix, this will help...but honestly, the game isn't that fun.
At first you might have problem understanding the game, but after you realizing what's going on, deathloop will become one your best played games.

If you gave me this game and Prey to play, I would've bet money on this being the game made first. So much of it feels like a smaller, less thought out game that has mechanics that remind of Prey (and Dishonored), just done much worse.
It's fun enough to play, for a while. But just like Prey you end up spending far too much time covering the same areas. Except here it's worse because the gameplay is far less varied and the areas are small and boring. It also doesn't help that the game is incredibly easy and the AI is some of the most braindead I've come across in gaming.
As for the story, well, it might as well not be there. It has some nice potential, but that's about all it has. The characters are also nothing to write home about, though at least I thought Colt was entertaining enough as a protagonist.
Frankly, I like this game a lot more in the first few hours, but after that it becomes clear you've discovered everything about the gameplay loop and there isn't enough there to justify all the hours you have to put in to reach the ending (that's also very unsatisfying).
I can't even imagine replaying this game as the repetition has soured me on it so much. It's a shame but at least I can start playthrough 333 of Prey now and pretend Arkane might make another game like it.

It honestly feels like we are taking crazy pills for not admiting this game was a miss and dissapointment. Let's admit it now, enough years have passed. It was a miss.

After coming off of beating returnal I was excited for another time loop game but this wasn't anywhere close I dropped it about 7 hours in
