For better and for worse, Arkane Studios has the ability to create critically-praised games that rarely reach the same level of critical success as they should; case in point – the “Dishonored” franchise. Arkane, instead of giving into the easy road and creating something that goes against their method of inspired gameplay, they’ve continued in crafting games that are rather genre-bending including its latest digital experience.
Playing as a man with amnesia in a world where everyone is trying to kill him, “Deathloop” looks to turn the time-wrapping genre on its head with a first-person shooter featuring RPG elements, memorable characters, a plethora of powers & weapons, and a multiplayer mode where the protagonist Colt Vaughn must die. Infuse everything you want to keep, watch out for psychopaths, and live today like it was yesterday during these first impressions of “Deathloop”.
