PlayStation 5 User Reviews

There's a game called Prey, an immersive sim that relatively few people played. It had an expansion, Prey: Mooncrash, that nobody played. That expansion is basically Deathloop. But like, a good version of it. Inversely, if Deathloop were, you know, an actually good game, we would say it's just like a stylish version of Prey: Mooncrash. Unfortunately, Deathloop isn't a good game, which is bizarre since the same studio released both games. It's not bad either, but there's little in Deathloop to recommend it except perhaps a unique style.

No me acuerdo mucho del juego por que lo jugue hace bastante, pero me acuerdo que es un juegazo super divertido, es muy entretenido el gameplay y muy divertido sus personajes y historia. Muy recomendado.

I rarely write reviews, but I must do so with Deathloop. As a lover of stealth based action, this is a pure disappointment. The game gives you freedom how you approach each situation, but no matter what you do you always end up alerting everyone and get smashed. Even if I use a silent weaponand kill somebody isolated, somehow everybody knows about it. So I regret buying it and if you like stealh games like I do, AVOID THIS.

Boring. I think I was expecting dishonored but at I got was a mediocre first person shooter with boring story and gameplay.

Ngl sometimes I think gamers again and again are too hard on games, but I get it for ambitious games like this. I thought this game was just awesome, its original, the endings make sense, the loops are confusing at first and I did have to look up a YouTube video to figure out the full loop and get the true good ending. The combat is classic Bethesda, this company does get the mechanics and environmental story telling down every single game, it's a strong suit. I can't really find anything bad about this game; it is ambitious but it's not pacific drive it pays out at the end. 99% of movies and games with a time loop plot lines usually require some complexity and highbrow though, so it does that well. The last thing it does well that's pretty original is both the antagonists and the time loop setting, the antagonists have great backstories and feel to them and the setting (rich person science island) is fairly original across the board. If you haven't played the game its worth it.

I absolutely love this game its a blast first game in a while I've fully enjoyed its so unique

This game is both the most dissapointing and one of the most surprising games i have ever played. Deathloop is about Colt wanting to escape a loop and to do so he must kill all the special targets in one day. Gameplay was really fun. On the good side it has variety, a decent ammount of weapons that can spawn with some bonus enhancements, many interesting powers and a solid PVP. Direct combat was really fun if you had a loadout for it and stealth was really fun, fast and dynamic too. I played it mostly styling on everything, if you play it super serious meta it is kinda easy but i always wanted to get creative and you can achieve very fun stuff, the game encourages you to do this too since its the same 4 maps, depending on the time of the day enemies and encounters are diferent. The pvp was fun but it has one big issue, which is netcode, you better get lucky because high ping pvp isnt the best, i did have my fun tho, you can be the invaded or the invader and both modes are fun, i just wished Julianna mode rewarded more creativity and passive playing rather than meta direct killing. Story was interesting, i actually had fun watching how it develops, the few characters there are, they are fun. The ending could be a bit better but its alright. It also has some decent lore The world looks good and is well constructed and you are accompanied by a pretty decent OST. So what are the flaws?. First the game was marketed as a discover how to break the loop, but you are handheld the entire process and there is only a singular way to break the loop, you only choose how to approach it but with such a big potential of this game also being a puzzle game to figure out how to break it by yourself it would be a 10/10, its not bad but its so dissapointing, luckily the gameplay was incredibly surprising. The other main issue i hear people say is difficulty, which is on the easier side, AI is very uninteligent, but after the first hours i thought this game wasnt made for the challenge but to experiment and have fun in the sandbox of combat it has. Many people felt dissapointed coming from dishonored because they expected dishonored 3 and if they did, no wonder they got dissapointed since this game is far from being that. Overall its a great sandbox, it mixes many unique elements, giving a solid story, a nice setting and with its weakest issue being the combat AI its more than a solid game IMO. Worth at 35$

Deathloop is a stylish and inventive first-person shooter from Arkane Studios that blends time-loop mechanics with immersive-sim gameplay. Players step into the shoes of Colt, an assassin trapped on the island of Blackreef, reliving the same day over and over as he hunts down eight key targets to break the loop. The game’s unique premise, stylish aesthetic, and fluid gunplay make for an engaging experience, but a lack of true freedom, repetitive elements, and an underwhelming payoff keep it from being a masterpiece.

I got this one because I love the Dishonored series. It took a while, though, for me to get into its groove, at first losing all your gear is quite frustrating, but after 5-6 hours, the game hooked me like few do. Gathering information (and residium) so that you can come up with a master plan to break the loop was so satisfying, even doing the same things twice or thrice or four times or more didn't bother me, nor the fact that there are "only" 4 locations to explore. And besides all the mechanics working amazingly well, the game has a small but accurately measured tinge of humor, Colt screaming after stepping on a mine will always remain with me. I was inclined to give it a 9 because few games really deserve a 10, but I cannot find one thing to complain about, so 10 it gets.

Jogo me supreendeu positivamente, tem uma pegada de roguelike, porém não é tão punitivo. A história é muito bem construida, trilha sonora sensacional, e a dublagem em PT BR esta excelente. Destaque para a direção de arte impecavel. Gameplay é um pouco travada mas logo você acostuma e não compromete a experiência.

Deathloop is not the experimental systems-driven shooter it claims to be. Instead, it’s a rigidly linear mission-based game dressed up in a time loop aesthetic. Beneath the surface of slick menus, cleverly phrased logs, and stylized UI lies a mechanically shallow, structurally restrictive, and downright incompetent experience—especially as a **** first glance, the game gives the illusion of openness and systemic freedom. But this is just that: an illusion. In reality, the game is hyperlinear, with only two real points of exploration flexibility. Most forms of interactivity within the world are tightly coupled to the main quest line. Side content is nearly nonexistent, and the world quickly reveals itself as decorative rather than functionally interactive. It’s not a playground for emergent gameplay—it’s a gated corridor disguised as a sandbox.Ultimately, I deleted Deathloop from my console—not just uninstalled it, but fully removed it from my library. That, for me, is the ultimate gesture of rejection. I wasn’t even angry—just stunned by how empty, misleading, and hollow the entire experience turned out to be.

One of the best game i have ever played. Amazing movement. Very fun and simple story. Fair difficulty Very unique gameplay loop

Deathloop is a total disappointment. The game constantly crashes, making it nearly unplayable. Despite having a high-end PC that exceeds the recommended specs, I can't get it to run properly. All drivers are updated, yet instead of enjoying the game, I've spent two days browsing forums looking for solutions. I'm not alone — many players report the same issues. For a AAA title, this level of technical failure is unacceptable. Avoid until it's properly fixed. (ofc never willbe fixed)

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I guess the reason this game got so much low scores from users was due to some mainstream reviewers like IGN giving it a masterpieces level. Other than that, it was an amazing and enjoyable game.

IGN is bought and paid for, and this game is proof. I picked up this game due to the perfect 10/10 score on IGN. What I got was a worthless FPS with some of the clunkiest weapons and gameplay I have ever seen, no enemy variety, maps that were repetitive, and a silly premise that felt mildly funny at best and gut-wrenchingly annoying at worst. I don't recommend this game for any reason and strongly advise that you disregard the critics' reviews as they have no basis in reality and obviously appeal to some kind of forced agenda.

Very cool concept, but that's the main thing. It tries to have a similar gameplay feel to dishonoured but just falls short in that regard, and once you figure out the best way to go about things it becomes repetitive, no real reason to play through it again either once you've discovered everything

Jogo empolgante com uma boa narrativa,ótimos gráficos, personagens com boas motivações e direção de artes excelente.

Awesome game. One of the rare aaa games of the ps5 where the developers actually thought about what they were creating and every building has a true intention of being there. Offers a unique Gameplay style and was a experience that was fresh.

Went in without any previous knowledge or expectation. Really solid, great game design & interesting story. Develops well throughout and plenty to explore. Gets a little repetitive near the end game - but with a loop mechanic at its core I would expect it to be more so than it is. Would recommend.

Probably the best shooter I’ve ever played. It’s so satisfying. Amazing maps with sooo much to find, so many tunnels and secrets that open up over time with the story. Amazing weapons and extras that are improved play by play. Amazing style. Progression and story are so well balanced. If you think it’s less than a 9, you have up just a little too early.

Es un juego que simplemente es como un dishonored y eso me gusta además los poderes y mejoras están basados en dishonored

Deathloop has some really novel execution, and very fun stuff going on. Arkane honing their level design sensibilities with the express purpose of replaying, per the time loop, the same few levels again and again in slight variations was an inspired decision. Some of the plot writing, less so. The game is still fun to play, so long as one isn't handily outmatched by the asymmetrical PVP and prevented from playing at all by a better gamer. Oh well! There's always next loop.

A genius gameplay loop that never collapses under the weight of its own ambition. Nearly limitless possibilities with gameplay and customization. The story can't catch up, but this is worth playing just to mess around in the game's world with its strange rules.

A wonderful game with elaborate game design and increased motivation for challenge

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

it was fun for a couple of hours. then it got boring. the concept is fine, the graphics and mechanics. but the game is just not fun

Other than repeating the same thing over and over, this game doesn't have much going for itself.

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.

Arkane: synonymous with artistic direction of the highest **** game in terms of design presents several notable problems (such as the imbalance of perks which often lead the player to choose the three usual ones) but the direction and ingenuity that they also had at a script level to justify the bland opposing AI remains of absolute value. The invasions remain quite fragile as in some cases the structure of the game itself and are easily broken within the gameplay, but the experience still remains strangely exciting. Good new IP

Fresh game, very different. It was very confusing at the start but once you figure out how weapons and mods work, it becomes very enjoyable. Also, the story was very interesting and the ending was satisfying. Overall a must-play game.

Мне очень понравилась идея и сюжет игры. Поначалу я даже подумал, что буду проходить её с большим интересом. Однако в процессе прохождения я столкнулся с некоторыми проблемами. Например, в игре не хватает линейности. В некоторых моментах непонятно, какие действия нужно предпринять, чтобы продвинуться по сюжету. Для этого приходится искать все записки, это очень скучно. Кроме того, игра оказалась слишком длинной для такого типа геймплея. Мне было скучно просто ходить по одним и тем же местам, чтобы найти единственный код.

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.

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.

Deathloop really is a quintessence of everything Arkane has been building over the last two decades or so. It blends gameplay elements from all of its recent games: stealth elements and powers akin to Dishonored, gunplay and turrets from Prey, roguelike repetition elements from Prey Mooncrash, and even the mighty kick from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Story-wise, in my opinion, it is an improvement over Arkane's previous titles, as it still features amazingly immersive lore and expertly designed environmental storytelling, and this time around adds plenty of dialogue and actually well-written characters. The game does have a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, as you are overwhelmed by the abundance of overlapping game mechanics, but the game does guide you quite well in the beginning hours until setting you free into the endless loop. The progression in Deathloop is very satisfying, as you meticulously piece together a plan to eliminate 8 targets in a single day, gain increasingly powerful equipment and abilities, and figure out the story on three levels of scale: about Colt, Julianna and the Visionaries; about Blackreef, its history and the Anomaly; and about the general world the game takes place in. I felt the ending was a bit underwhelming and posed more questions than answers, much like Arkane's previous games, but after reading more about it on Reddit, I was blown away and am very intrigued about what the studio is going to do next. I mean beyond Redfall which I heard to be a letdown, and Blade, which I fear may also steer away from the immersive sim genre that the studio excels at.

Final thoughts after completing deathloop entirely. This is a great game that focuses on a balanced combination between stealth, parkour and FPS. It is the best game of arcane studios for me just slightly above either prey or dishonored 2 and is also probably the best first person stealth game I played. So what keeps deathloop for being a masterpiece I think even though is a pretty great game is generally the variety in either environments, enemies or weapons and even though that's the intend of the game being a loop it still can be pretty repetitive mostly because blackreef is just so small. What the game makes best for me is keeping the story interesting without overwhelming you with cinematics, is a tale that keeps you engaged to what is finally going to happen,also Colt I believe is a pretty great protagonist, funny and down to earth. Also the shooting is very solid even though most times is not exactly necessary to use it at all. The different abilities even though they are not anything new for Arcane still are fun to use and they can make you feel like a real unstoppable assassin. The design of the game, graphically on PS5 is superb and the game overall is quite gorgeous.Certainly a very well crafted game just not exactly a masterpiece for me personally.

Good grapichs, good voice acting and plot, but the gameplay loop is too long and boring and doesnt push youcompleting the game

Deathloop is one of the most tedious games ever. There are just four small locations which you grind again and again, with very little things changing. Gameplay is the same all along. Its average at best and unbearable at worst. Enemies are never a danger until they swarm you in absurd numbers. The real danger are traps that are very hard to see and they can instakill you. After every successful mission you have to reconnect to a server which gives you a long loading screen. But if you fail a mission, too bad, you have to manually skip a full in game day in one of the worst menus ever in a video game. Opening the menu during a mission is a bad idea since its also very laggy and can crash the game, probably due to the terrible server of this game. The story is a confusing mess with an unsatisfying ending. Its so much random, irrelevant garbage you just stop caring. The immersive sim elements are arbitrary and often illogical. The puzzles are basically all "click on every random prop until you get the code then enter it somewhere" and the game does a super poor job at visually highlighting stuff. Its mind numbing. Deathloop has some of the worst puzzles I have ever seen (shoutout to Fias reactor). At last the online invasion mode is broken and barely works even with good connection. Overall there isnt anything good here besides the art style and the music. Deathloop is somewhat creative, but its not good. 3/10

Certainly one of the best games I've ever played, the way it makes you not only evolve in combat, but also in the knowledge you acquire by playing. Another really cool thing is the charisma of the characters, especially Collt and Juliana, it shows that they are the same people but with different opinions. A very creative, fun and funny game

Despite a slow start and some repetitive content, the immense creativity and truly revolutionary mechanics of Arkane's latest great game make it a must-play for all FPS fans. Starting with its technical achievements, it flawlessly takes advantage of the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller while looking great; the assets are shockingly high definition and each locale is beautifully rendered. The gunplay is phenomenal, with decent variety and great customizability. The powerful abilities allow for hilarious situations and plenty of ways to take advantage of the canonically idiotic NPCs. At the end of the day, Deathloop delivers a ridiculously immersive, addictive, and fun experience that should not be missed.

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.

Fantastic story and solid mechanics. Learning something new each loop made for a fantastic progression system.

It was very fun and entertaining. Surprisingly it doesn't feel repetitive. Probably, because the gameplay is there, and it's all I can ask for.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

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

Found the repetitive nature of this game very grindy and was not for me. 4/10

I love this game. Pure fun. My favourite FPS game after DOOM Eternal.

this is a good game. but the story structure is waayyy more linear than the marketing made it out to be which unfortunately hurts it
