    No need to think twice, we had a lot of time loop games. But Deathloop can get the most out of all elements. And whether you're protecting the loop or destroying it, don't forget to die a few times, it's fun.

    Despite these gripes, Deathloop on the PS5 offers some fantastically unique features that properly elevate the experience in new and creative ways. It’s the definitive place to play the game if you’re on console – though it’s not like you have much choice.

    Deathloop is one of the best games to hit in 2021. It’s confident, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and it combines what makes Arkane games great – and makes it better.

    Deathloop overdoes it now and then but remains a fun shooter with inventive time loop mechanics.

    Deathloop turns both succeeding and failing into learning experiences and never makes you miss the lack of a quicksave option. It’s a mean feat that sets it apart from other games, and one of several reasons why it should be on the list of any immersive sim fans out there. It might not be Arkane’s best game and Blackreef may struggle clearly defining a personality for itself, but it’s certainly no stranger to great moments.

    Deathloop is a rewarding and ambitious experience that smartly combines Arkane’s immersive sim bedrock with a fluid nonlinear structure. Its smooth gameplay and naturalistic narrative stylings are interrupted by lacklustre PC performance, though it fulfils a puzzle-box Groundhog Day fantasy few other games have been ambitious enough to touch.

    It feels sometimes like Deathloop couldn’t decide what it really wanted to be. Stealth game? Bullet opera? Retro-cool ‘60s spy romp? Mind-melting time travel story? When it tries to be all of these things at once, it ends up not being very much of anything. I liked the core concept but after twenty hours I didn’t feel like I knew more about how an island could get stuck living the same day over and over than I did at the outset.

    Deathloop is a great game !! Arkane is a great Studio, and the studio gives us a complete work.
    The art direction is superb, just like in "Dishonored 1 and 2", the atmosphere is incredible, and they dominate their subject even in the level design.
    It's a good FPS, with good sensations in hand.
    For those who have some framerate problems, you just have to lower 1 or 2 options in the menu, and remove the V-sync (but enable it in the nVidia menu of your PC), and then no freeze, no lag, no latency: I'm at 60fps constant with an RTX3070

    The story is gripping from the beginning to the end, and you have to let yourself be guided for the first 2 hours, to then live your adventure as you wish, exactly as with the other games from Arkane Studio (Prey , Dishonored...)

    After more than 20 hours of play, and I haven't finished yet, I still have the same pleasure to play it, and I think it could be the GOTY of the year!

    Have fun!

    -----------------------------

    C'est un excellent jeu, avec une D.A et un level design de haute volée !
    L'histoire est aussi intéréssante à suivre, du début à la fin.
    Ceux qui ont aimé les autres titres du studio (Dishonored, Prey...), vous allez adoré aussi Deathloop.
    Par contre le début risque de vous questionner, alors laissez vous guider les 2 premières heures du jeu pour ensuite pouvoir jouer comme vous l'entendez !

    Pour moi, il peut être dans la liste des GOTY de l'année !!!
    Bon jeu à tous !

    Do not trust negative user reviews:
    1. People who hoped for Dishonored 3 - are not happy obviosuly, but this is not Dishonored 3 and never meant to be
    2. Performance issues are mostly fixed. I played 40+ hours with 1 crash.
    3. What people do not understand is that this game is the best when online mode is active. When you play as Colt, you can get invaded by other players like in Dark Souls. Awesome!
    4. This is not only 4 maps, because we have also 4 times of day. Maps not only look different like day/night but different things happen on them. Different areas are opened/closed, different enemies, different events.
    5. After you finish main story, you can experiment in it more + you can play as invader!

    Also the game, ironically, is insanely repetitive, you do the same exact thing for every mission.

    Crashloop or Groundhog Day.

    The game crashes at the same spot everytime so I can't progress & complete the main quest. Support is not helping. Steam doesn't refund since I played more than 2 hours before facing the problem.

    The idea of replaying 4 small maps over & over sucks: same enemies & items in the same spots...
