It’s quite a fun mystery story within this whole loop story! Thanks for reading, Yesha! 😀

It’s a nice concept and is well executed. My only problem with this game is its extremely violent character.

Yep, it has a violent execution, at least in terms of gameplay, but the story is fairly non-violent as you try to piece together the puzzle and reach the end! Thanks for reading!

So Groundhog Day made into a violent videogame. Kind of wonder why it took this long for that too happen.

Yep. I imagine it’s the whole structure of the game that was never really possible in past games. People are getting more creative with the enormous possibilities that technology allows today.

Yep. Good thing people can get creative even after centuries of… creating. 😛

Like Bookstooge, my first thought was of Groundhog Day (strangely a movie I watched over and over again, which seems kinda redundent given the movie was about him replaying his day over and over again). But it sounds like they took a slightly different direction with the video game. 🙂

Hahah yes! I’ve seen a couple of movies that play on the whole Groundhog Day concept since its release but it’s nice to see variations of the idea that work without feeling like it’s “déjà vu”! 😀

I *JUST* saw a tweet from Kumail Nanjiani, talking about this game and then your post popped up in my reader! WHAT A COINCIDENCE! I’m not much of a gamer, but it was really interesting to read your thoughts on it.

A violent Groundhog Day? I’ll pass 😉 Glad you enjoyed it, though! Do those FPP games have any correlation to your PhD, Lashaan?

Hahaha they have nothing to do with my PhD. 😉 They help me escape its grasp if anything! 😛

The concept behind Deathloop is cool and certainly worth a try on my new PS5. Not sure why, but it gives me vibes of Bioshock Infinite. Thank you for the review Lashaan!

It is totally worth trying out! And yes, the graphic design of the world is very similar to Bioshock. IF you enjoyed that franchise, you’ll love this one too. And if you tried Prey or Dishonored, you will notice all the best parts of those games in this one too! Thanks for reading, Leon!

I absolutely about getting it around X-Mas since I’ll have free time starting Dec. 05 to about Jan. 10! Prey was such a good one, and
I enjoyed watching my older brother play through both Dishonored and Dishonored 2. That was a very enticing game!

I’m in the middle of playing through Deathloop now! Only have two of the Slabs, but I’m enjoying poking around and seeing all the secrets. I think I like Prey a bit better because there was more of cohesive, linear storyline to follow (though I went ALL over the place and did all the side quests in that one). Curious how I’ll feel when I finish!

So many wonderful Easter eggs where you least expect them! I hope you have a blast trying different ways to get to your objectives. 😛 It’s indeed a bit messy, story-wise, but still fun, especially the chemistry between Colt and Julianna. One plot twist I definitely didn’t see coming a bit further down the line too.
