Deathloop

“Deathloop” can be overwhelming at first, but once you take the time to understand its dynamics, it can become quite addicting. I just took the dynamics the wrong way: I used to ignore all the menus and reloop myself as in a roguelite, but following the leads becomes essential in completing the game. Solving all the main questlines and finding hints is mandatory, as the point is to find out the right strategy to kill all enemies in a single loop instead of getting better at shooting to the point you’re invincible. I’m pretty bad at first-person shooters but could finish most quests easily, it just took me a few tries to remember the areas and find the right approach. There are also many shortcuts waiting to be found in plain sight.

Succeeding at a perfect loop felt really rewarding, but unfortunately, the ending provided little to no payoff, even after the update. Definitely not worth checking out for the plot.

I also experienced many bugs on PS5 while browsing through the menus before the beginning of an area, which forced me to restart the games countless times.
