Deathloop - PC Game Review

I have been playing Deathloop for about a week, and I am still not sure if I like it or hate...

What I like:

- looks great (minor point, though)

- lots of clever stealth opportunities, specially after you can shift into roofs.

- powers, in the same way Dishonored did

- story is somewhat interesting

- there are plenty of puzzles, with various levels of rewards (some recurring, due to the loop part).


What I don't:

- can't save inside a level. That does create extra tension, sure, but now you can't experiment with things you want to in the same way, plus can't just shut down instantly, so now I can only play if I have a large amount of time where I think I won't be interrupted. This combined with how easy you are to kill means a minor mistake, like bumping in a single enemy can easily kill you. And if you loop, you lose everything you acquired in both that level and previous levels on the same loop.

- not a lot of levels. There are just a few (4?), but they change a lot depending on the time of day. Not the same thing, though

- the time of day changes missions, so you keep having to wait

- it is almost RPG like, but you can just unlock weapons and powers.

- can only bring 2 different powers per mission. Sure, that adds some strategic depth, but is also very annoying.

- load times aren't terrible, but they aren't great either.


Overall, it is pretty nice, but somewhat annoying at the same time.
