Graphically the world is beautiful as well. Old favourites return like the ability to teleport short distances and tether enemies together. Beware though, if you want to keep this power you will need to infuse the slab, otherwise, once the loop begins again you will be forced to re-kill said visionary. These are acquired by collecting slabs from the corresponding visionary. Powers also make the transition from the Dishonored series. The loop itself is much more of a vehicle to facilitate the story than to add to the difficulty and the game absolutely benefits from this. Your location will reset each day, or if you die three times, but early on you gain access to a mechanic where you can spend points gained throughout your run into infusing weapons and upgrades, allowing you to keep them permanently. While the game presents itself as a bit of a roguelike, it really isn’t.

This leads to Deathloop being a little more linear than I had expected going in, but the game certainly doesn’t suffer as a result. All information you collect is stored and can be accessed later, providing new objectives that help guide you, should you find yourself at a loss. It is only when you return to your hideout and select a different region that the next time period of the day will activate. You enter an area at a chosen time and can remain there for as long as you want.

Another plus is that you are never on the clock. While an area may seem relatively uneventful in the morning, you could return at night to find an event taking place where multiple visionaries are there for the taking. Each location changes depending on the time you visit it, so plenty of detective work is required to find the most opportune time to eliminate your targets. None more so than Julianna herself, a rival assassin. However, the rest of the island inhabitants aren’t on board with this and will shoot on sight. In order to do so, you need to kill all 8 visionaries in one day. Without going into too much detail and venturing into spoiler territory, you (Colt), are trying to break the loop. These interactions are expertly voice acted and really bring a sense of immersion to the events unfolding. Slowly the situation on the island is explained to Colt, mostly via radio conversations with Julianna. From here you wake up on a beach, unable to even remember basic late 90’s Yahoo Chat staples like a/s/l (age/sex/location for today’s youth). You start your journey with antagonist Julianna on top of you plunging a knife into your chest.

Julianna can invade your game at any point, which adds tension, but you do have the ability to switch the game to offline so that she remains controlled by the games AI and not some 11-year-old elite assassin.ĭeathloop also has a really intriguing narrative. Thankfully there are health canisters and even health pods dotted around the map to balance this out. There are plenty of weapons to hack and gun your way through enemies, but do beware that it doesn’t take much to put Colt down.

While melee combat was certainly possible in Dishonored, it is definitely more encouraged in Arkane’s new venture. Thankfully, Colt is pretty nimble and escaping the enemies, regrouping and returning with a better plan is a viable option. The nature of Deathloop doesn’t allow that though, and so while you will pick up a slab (power) called reprise, allowing you to die three times before the day restarts, there is no undo when you accidentally alert half the island to your whereabouts.

In Dishonored I would make many a manual save, which allowed me to test out routes and possible creative kills with no real consequence. What also keeps you on your toes is the lack of a manual save. Little touches like these add more layers to the formula and keep you on your toes throughout. This results in you having to be mindful of not only how you kill, but where you do it. A small pocket of smoke remains on the ground though, which enemies can spot and become agitated about. Snapped necks and knife executions are easily triggered with the touch of the R1 button as long as you haven’t been spotted as you stalk your prey.ĭisposing of the bodies is a thing of the past as thanks to the time loop aspect, these enemies just turn to dust, awaiting the day to reset.

While it isn’t recommended to go full ninja, as there are so many fun ways of tackling each objective, I was happy to see my concerns of a more tactical approach not being possible quickly put to bed. So when I settled down to play Deathloop for the first time and quickly realised that it was very much the core Dishonored gameplay, I was delighted.
