![]() So it’s a stealth shooter, but Arkane has managed to pack this game full of nifty little gems, interesting mechanics, puzzles and a brilliant map system. ![]() This makes the base mechanic of this game very clear: don’t die, find the target, end them. Which in turn means that everyone (and we mean everyone) on this seemingly peaceful isle wants to kill you, the traitor. Initially, you won’t know why Colt has suddenly switched teams - because now he’s tracking down the other Visionaries to try and break the loop. You quickly find out that he is a former leader of The Eternalists called a Visionary. If the inhabitants (here they’re called The Eternalists) perish, they’ll wake up that same morning, ready to relive the same day again, with no memory of the previous day. The world will attempt to make that death swift, with things like poisonous gas and icy waters and ballistic turrets and too many weapons for one island. Okay, they may die – the normative rules don’t apply, though. The inhabitants of Blackreef go about their day (quite literally) without the fear of death, simply because a strange anomaly has made it so none of them can die. Here you’re free to traverse the four districts: The Complex, Karl’s Bay, Fristad Rock, and the urban sprawl of Updaam at different times of day (more on this mechanic later). ![]() There is a good long list of media that is built on the premise of ‘Groundhog Day’ - the instance of reliving the same day over and over - with no end in sight.ĭeathloop is set in Blackreef, a secret isle nestled in the North Atlantic somewhere. And we agree for one sole reason: Deathloop manages to offer something truly new, truly well-made and truly excellent without trying too hard. We know our review comes a good while after initial global reviews - all of which claim that this could easily be game of the year. ![]() This is a game that’s easy to pick up but almost impossible to stop playing. ![]()
