So when the glowing reviews came in for Deathloop, I rushed in and bought it at full price. It just feels like a poor rehash I was intrigued by the game's concept and art style, and enjoyed Arkane's previous games.

There's nothing new or exciting here at all. Have played it for about six hours, and don't have the will to carry on. I was intrigued by the game's concept and art style, and enjoyed Arkane's previous games. Arkane created a new standard for storytelling in games, its diverging styles of gameplay, alive world-building, and intriguing mystery, make for one of the best games of the year. Invading a visionary's domains can feel overwhelming, from stealth gameplay to going in through the front door guns blazing, it never feels like there is a wrong option. Killing visionaries will grant you unique powers, from teleporting to increased strength, they all feel powerful and can be used in unique builds. This gives a layer of tension to the game, never knowing when a Juliana is going to appear to ruin your party crashing.

While you are hunting the visionaries she is hunting you, instead of an NPC invading you, it's a player. One of the visionaries, Juliana Blake, doesn't stand still waiting in one part of the isle. You must find out about the lives of the targets and gather them as close as possible to be able to attempt the perfect murder spree in one perfect loop. They are spread throughout the isle in four different time periods. You have 8 main targets called the visionaries. Exploring the colorful isle of Blackreef never feels like a chore, every loop has meaning whether it's to collect information of your target's schedule or to get a better weapon, you never feel like you are stuck. Waking up on a deserted beach in the middle of the polar sea, with no recollection of who he is, Colt goes looking for answers. You play as Colt, like yourself, Colt doesn't know what is going on. With a gorgeous world begging to be explored Deathloop creates an intriguing story linked by charismatic characters and powerful writing. Arcane studios created a universe with traces from other games, some of them are "Dishonored" "Hitman" and "Bioshock" but it always manages to feel unique. You play as Colt, like yourself, Colt doesn't Deathloop is unique, inventive, and cheerful fun.

Deathloop is unique, inventive, and cheerful fun.
