Deathloop is arkane's newest take on the imersive sim genre and as such it comes with tons and tons of improvements on the gameplay after dishonored that fells only natural.

As someone who primarily plays stealth deathloop provides with a vast arsenal of options and even though you can't quick load i didn't had to, because the games system evolved in such form that if i alerted some enemies it was fine to just gun some of then and them resume my stealth activities without ruining anything. Playing this game in whichever of the many forms you choose makes for so much fun that marks this as arkane's best gameplay yet.

Cole and Juliana are just brilliant, every talk between then, every piece of narrative you discover adds up so much, the style, narrative drops and world building is also stellar, while the ending is fine i wouldn't say it makes anything worse, it felt like the only possible solution really.

In the end it was a blast to play through this loop over, over and over again, maybe would like some more interactions between then, maybe more narrative, but that doesn't take from the overall experience, also it has a ton of options so you can play it your way and that only makes it better.
