I play way too many retro games, so I was hesitant on this one. Since the reception is mixed, with audiences hating it and critics adoring it, I didn't know how my stance was gonna be. Surprisingly, I'm with the critics here, this shit was phenomenal.
There are many ways I can explain Deathloop, but the best is that it's half an arcade-y shooter with unbelievably fun gun-play, and half a Sherlock Holmes mystery where you have to piece clues together to find out the most efficient way to get by. Once in action, it's fucking glorious.
There are some mild problems with the game, like the Juliana attacks which are the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE, and the mines in Fristad Rock, but those pale when I enjoyed those 25 hours spent with the game so much.
The characters rule too. Colt is half badass, half idiot, Juliana is a complex character that I wish they focused more on, and Aleksis (sorry, AlphaWolf69) is greatest fictional character of all time. Fight with the wall.
Man, I really haven't played anything quite like this (probably cuz i was too busy playing fucking sega genesis games). The first hour after the tutorial took a bit to get use to, but once it clicked, it CLICKED. Easily a Top 10 game OAT for me.

Very reminiscent of Dishonored. I really enjoyed this, but there's no replayability. Multiplayer was pretty poorly implemented, but could've been really cool.

Had a chance to be more ambitious, but it wasn't. Instead it is just a standard immersive FPS with a borderline embarrassing story. But even in its worst case its just more Dishonored which is not necessarily a bad thing.
