“This game gets more hate than it deserve, it's actually great. Made by Arkane, the same studio behind Dishonored and Prey, it has a great story and setting, and the gameplay has similar mecahnics to the other titles.…”

“I love immersive sims and Arkane studio but this had none of the magic. Beautiful stylistic game but felt like a single player live service game. Grind the same thing over and over for bits of info.”

“Apparently this game has haters? It's actually a really smart game. It has some very innovative aspects. Even if you're playing through the same maps over and over and can memorize where everyone is going to be, there's…”
“I really really wanted to like this game. Several genuine attempts/restarts since it came out in 2021. Ultimately I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Pros -Interesting soundtrack with some fun 60s spy fiction music…”

“Up there for one of my favorite games, and I think a lot of the hate it gets comes from players not really getting it. If you just follow the objective markers and rush through the main story you're missing basically…”
“One badass of a gaming experience.. totally looped in.... at first the game is a bit complex to make an understanding on what to do.. but as you progress, U get to know how much of an exposure the game has..it takes a…”
“This game is one of the most unique and interesting games i have played. The fact is it only a few maps split across time and discovered at your own pace and style. Incredible mechanics and variability!”

“The game won't start. Supposedly only solution is to rollback to an old driver version, just to play this game. This did not work for some people anyway. I did not do it, since I need up to date drivers. DO NOT BUY.”
“had the game on xbox a couple years back and wanted to give it another go sadly apparently bethesda games don't always have the "it just works" mentality because this game is so wacked out and buggy that it didn't even…”

“Edit: After 1.5 hours more of playtime, the stutters are back, and this time it even crashed Windows, forcing a full restart. I am uninstalling the game and concluding that it is straight-up dangerous for your hardware.…”

“Why is Deathloop getting so much hate, and Dishonoured so much praise. Essentially it is the same gameplay. In my opinion: Deathloop has the lazy console checkpoint savegame system (hidding behind the loop mechanic)…”
“I have been a major fan of Dishonored series and my playstyle was 100% stealth, non-kill, pure order runs. I loved it. The AI was decent and the hook was imminent. Here? Not so much. You start barebones and the rpg…”

“NOTE: This review is primarily focused on offline, PvE gameplay, which is not how everyone will play this game. Deathloop is a lot of fun. I got it in a bundle, saw that it had mixed reviews, and had heard that it got a lot of hate online, so I went in expecting very little.…”
— a player, Steam review · 51 hrs played“If you wished stealth games didn't disincentivize you from using your sick powers to murder people, then try Deathloop, a game that gives you all the overpowered tools of Dishonored and puts you on Epstein Island. I don't remember how hard this game pushes the "roguelike" thing…”
