Deathloop Review | GameGrin

Over the last decade, Arkane Studios has made quite the name for itself as a studio brimming with creative ideas, but does DEATHLOOP live up to its expectation?

Now I think this actually might be the overall GOTY 👍😁

It's only an 88 on metacritic? Shouldn't it be in the 90s? I like the game, but I wouldn't have given it a 10 more, like 8.5 out of 10 imo.

Most of my GOTYs in the last 5 years have been below 90 on Metacritic. Metacritic is a shit place to judge games because of the lack of quality in modern journalism and their tendency to pander to the wrong people.

2016 - Tie between Doom and Dishonored 2 (85 and 88 on meta)
2017 - Nier Automata & Hollow Knight (88 & 87)
2018 - Celeste (88)
2019 - Devil May Cry 5 (89)
2020 - Biomass (didn't get a metacritic score because it was such a remote indie game, but the ideas in it were simply too good to ignore)

If this game is GOTY, then where does this leave Halo Infinite?

[chiefJohn117]

You got Halo infinite so far down your throat.

@ChiefJohn117
Halo has been in development for 6 years. Halo Infinite winning GOTY will be great for Microsoft especially for this year

88 is an excellent score on Metacritic. It's same score than Ratchet and Clank has. It's better score than Returnal (85) and Miles Morales (85). So honestly it looks like Deathloop in fact IS a legit GOTY contender. I cannot comprehend the downplay this game gets from the gaming community. Double standards: other games scoring this well would be instantly in GOTY discussion.

Is this game really that good? Watched some gameplay and it looked kinda mediocre. Graphics looked last gen to me. Is it really worth it?

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Never judge a book by its cover.

[Nicknasty]

Well, I usually can get a pretty good idea of how a game plays by watching gameplay. Is it better than it appears?

[alb1899]

Try it.

[Epicor]

Based on the review scores: Yes, it's that good. Why all the doubts? Try it yourself and decide.

[BlackDoomAx]

I gave it a look too. Graphically it was ok , but it was boring to look at.

[pietro1212]

Boring to look at? The art direction of this game is fantastic

[dmonee]

This game will take you to the promised land!!!!!
