    Deathloop’s debut on the Xbox Series X is equally as good as it was on the PlayStation 5. You get the same great story and the same perfect gameplay experience. Choose one and enjoy.

    Get busy unlocking new powers, blinking in behind bad guys, stabbing and shooting and skulking around, scouring environments for clues, choosing which lead to follow next as you push and pull and probe every corner, every wrinkle of this labyrinthian puzzle box. And it's on Game Pass too? You're spoiling us, Microsoft.

    There’s a lot to love about DEATHLOOP, from the characters, the powers, and a story that is just asking to be made into a movie. There are some audio hiccups that hurt the experience, but they are easily overlooked because the rest of the package is extremely entertaining. I put just under 40 hours into DEATHLOOP before I rolled the credits and I plan on going back to knock out some achievements and side quests. I am very excited to see what the team at Arkane is putting together for us early next year with Redfall. DEATHLOOP is and will always be a part of Gamepass, the best value in gaming today and it should not be missed or passed up. Play this game!

    Deathloop delivers an astonishing experience also on Xbox Series X, involving us in an original and exciting, brilliantly narrated adventure. A very valuable addition to the Xbox Game Pass catalog for a game full of surprises.

    Deathloop remains Arkane’s best work, and it’s fantastic that Xbox players can finally get in on Cole’s deadly groundhog day. Its unique structure and sheer scope, coupled with the signature Arkane gameplay that has been polished to within an inch of its life, feels like the work of a developer finally fully realizing a vision that began many years ago with the original Dishonored.

    Yet another elegantly composed and impeccably designed Arkane sandbox, Deathloop is an intricate murder puzzle that’s part-Hitman, part-roguelite, and entirely sensational. There are few better ways to kill time.

    Arkane Studios' shooter is finally available on Xbox Series consoles with a large new update, but it's still very much the same middling experience.

I'm a big fan of rougher like games such hades and dead cells and this game kinda had that vibe but it's not as punishing and much more forgiving. Voice acting is excellent. Gameplay loop is amazing especially when you get into the features that let you keep your favorite weapons and powers. It's free on gamepass. You have no excuse to not give it a shot Expand

His sense of portraying the "WTF is happening??" could really be felt in each piece dialogue he said. Mechanics are fun too and a nice mix of stealth and going in guns blazing. Love this game Expand

Wow… well i mean if you like games with “worse than” 360 or ps3 level shooter mechanics- this is the game for you. I actually dont understand the reviews. This game was pretty terrible tbh. Couldnt really find anything redeeming about it. Enemy Ai was awful. Main characters themselves were ok but with how bad the gameplay was i couldnt stick around long enough to find out. Expand
