The Goldenloop update provides upgrades to Masquerade and cross-platform matchmaking. "Each environment looks unique thanks to the gorgeous, swinging 60’s aesthetic, and yes, I enjoyed causing enemies to trip on gumballs from the vending machines." Her loadout and abilities are also unlocked by completing Challenges, which usually center on killing Colt, instead of using Residuum. The quips and back-and-forth between her and Colt are nice, if somewhat limited as the game goes on. She may have her motivations and goals, but the amount of weight given to Julianna’s side of the narrative is sadly limited. It’s a unique twist on Arkane’s usual single-player focus, but not by much. When playing offline, Julianna is controlled by the AI but online play allows another player to control her and invade your game. Fighting alongside the Eternalists is only one of her tricks – she can also blend in with them using Masquerade to get the drop on Colt, and use any other Slab abilities that the Visionaries wield. Throughout all of this, Julianna will attempt to stop you by invading your game and sealing off the exits. This lets carry over between loops, giving you more choices for the loadout when starting a new day and building a formidable arsenal. It can seem tough at first but you’ll quickly unlock the ability to gather Residuum, which can be used to infuse Slabs and their upgrades, weapons, and Trinkets (used for modifying weapons and your character).
DEATHLOOP GAME REVIEW HOW TO
As the game unravels, you’ll learn about how certain Visionaries are present in more than one District during the day, and how to go about killing two (or even three) birds with one grenade. You can only visit a maximum of four Districts in a day, and inevitably, choices must be made between which ones to pursue first, whether it’s to earn specific Slabs or gather clues. Aleksis can only really be killed in Updaam during the evening while Charlie is available in the same District during the noon. The tricky part is that they’re present across four different Districts at different times of the day. It’s a unique twist on Arkane’s usual single-player focus, but not by much." "When playing offline, Julianna is controlled by the AI but online play allows another player to control her and invade your game. If Colt wants to escape from this unending cycle of die, die again, he needs to slay all eight of them over a day. After suffering another death at the hands of the mysterious Julianna, he wakes on the beach with few memories and proceeds to piece things together. You probably know the routine by now, but for Colt, Blackreef is a mystery. When it all comes together though, the sum is less than the whole of its parts, which ultimately feels more disappointing. Even with its updates, including the recently released Goldenloop patch, I still find Deathloop to be Arkane Studios’ weakest title to date. The interesting mechanics and structure of the Loop, however, quickly give way to sheer repetition and trial-and-error. At first, you’re curious and somewhat baffled, taking in the sights and the debauchery-laden streets of Blackreef.
DEATHLOOP GAME REVIEW SERIES
Returning to it one year later on the Xbox Series X, it amazes me how Deathloop the game really makes you feel like you’re protagonist Colt, caught in the Deathloop.
