Deathloop Review: All You Need Is Kill | GameSpot

Arkane Lyon's follow-up to Dishonored is a masterclass in open-ended action game design.

[Hellcat2020]

Man I'm happy to see it getting great scores.
I'll be playing this tonight for sure

[RaidenBlack]

10 from both Gamespot and IGN?
Can it be?
Ow .... it happened all right.

[alb1899]

It seems that is an incredible game.
Now I'm thinking if I wait till Gamepass or buy it for my PS5

[PowerPlayaaa]

If you can wait a whole year for it. Cuddos to you my man. But for me. ps5. And the Dualsense support on top of that, win win

[babadivad]

@PowerPlayaaa

Dualsense has made me less accurate. Well, the adaptive triggers have. I bought Control on XSX and was waiting for the next-gen upgrade before playing it.

Then Control released on PS+. I was playing back and forth(to see if there's any differences) , while it's a cool feature, I was missing way to many shots. I just finished the game on Xbox.

[Sunny_D]

@babadivad

Lol, you do know you can turn off the adaptive triggers on the dualsense right? It's a system level feature. In fact, you can pick different levels of how strong you want the trigger effects to be from low all the way to strong.

[babadivad]

@Sunny D

Thanks, I didn't even know that. I do think it's a very cool feature that will work well for driving games or the bow in Horizon. It just didn't work for me on shooters.

Don't know why I never looked up if you could turn it off. I Guess option of completing the game on the XSX made me never bother looking into it since the easy solution was sitting right next to my PS5.

Anyway, thanks again for the tip.

[Magog]

Another stylish game for PS5. I don't think any console has had so many top tier games in its first year.

[MadLad]

It's also on PC.
MS really knows how to pick its talent.

@mag

Just pointing out there's an entire other platform that should get representation. I'm glad the game is getting great reviews, and Playstation gamers get to enjoy it.
If it sells well, Xbox and PC players will probably get a great sequel as well. Though I'd also like to see another Prey release, honestly.

[Magog]

Is that a console? How is your comment in any way relevant to what I said?

[CaptainHenry916]

You must be really disappointed that it's not on Xbox yet or maybe you want it to be an Xbox exclusive right now. Just play it on PC if that helps. I can definitely read between the lines in this comment and you definitely made it obvious and you didn't even hold back. Now that's comical 😀 😅

[solideagle]

hahaha :D thanks for the laugh

[Atticus_finch]

That salt...

[RedDevils]

Lol this guy showing his true colour.

[GameZenith]

Its also on PC. No it isnt a console but still you do not NEED a PS5/PS4 to play this game. It is not a 100% PS exclusive in the same way Rachet and Clank and Returnal are.

[roadkillers]

If it keeps getting 10's, this will be the sleeper hit of the generation. No one saw this coming.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Oh I did.. It's one of the few games this year that looked interesting to me. Resident Evil Village, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, Life is Strange: True Colors, Crysis Remastered Trilogy, Tormented Souls and Mass Effect Legendary Collection were the others.

[Epicor]

This has been at the top of my list when it comes to upcoming PS5 titles since the very first announcement trailer. But I agree that I'm absolutely in the minority. I had my doubts sure, but the promise was there with amazing art style, great game idea and fun looking gameplay.

[anast]

Bethesda is good at making FPS games. They make fantasy, historical fantasy and sci-fi fantasy FPS games. This is their staple good to see they nailed it.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

This is Arkane

[anast]

You are right poor choice of words. They are good at making and investing in FPS games.

[JEECE]

I don't get why people are pretending to not understand that you are talking about all of the Bethesda Studios (i.e. Arkane, id, Machinegames). If I said that Sony is good at making third person action games, everyone would understand that I was including Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Sucker Punch, Sony Santa Monica etc.

[anast]

I don't get why this can't be compliment? Bethesda is good at the FPS business.

[Tedakin]

People are doing some insane mental gymnastics not to associate this game with MS or Bethesda. Of course until today it was "Bugthesda trash". It's been hilarious to read today.

[Bruh]

Apparently Arkane is loyal to Sony even though its owned by Microsoft lmfao

[Sayai jin]

They are acting like that, because Bethesda to them now means MS/Xbox.

[Sunny_D]

Because the parent company would be Zenimax, not Bethesda.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Okay, I get what he means now. All the incredible FPS studios under Bethesda's belt. id Software being the macdaddy of them all of course. I wonder if the studios under Bethesda were given the option to go independent at the time of the MS buy out.

[RedDevils]

FPS is bread and butter for Bethesda, is not rocket science.

[Outlawzz]

Well guess I'll put this on my ps5 backlog for when I can afford a purchase lol

[jznrpg]

I am putting it in backlog too . I can’t afford the time for it . I’m waiting for Black Friday 20$ .

[RedDevils]

FPS is not my type of games, but I will give this a go when it hit under $30.

[chiefJohn117]

Glad this was a hit, I knew it would be. PS fans yall better support this game. Can't wait for it to drop on Xbox

[Ristul]

Kind of ironic, the first really great game from MS to come out in a long time and the only way to play it for now is on Playstation or PC 😂

[Zhipp]

Psychonauts 2 just came out

[JEECE]

Lol it's also ironic that MS is releasing one of the only PS5 games that isn't cross gen with PS4.

[Tedakin]

MS just released game of the year contender Psychonauts 2 weeks ago....

[GhostofHorizon]

"PS fans yall better support this game." because we sure as heck won't and will just play on the Gamepass.

Sorry... I had to.
Just couldn't resist the joke.

[chiefJohn117]

Who is we exactly? I plan to buy it

[Zhipp]

Xbox owners will support it by playing it on Gamepass, and some will buy it I'm sure. I imagine for first party games MS will judge success based on hours played/player count and/or influx of subscribers upon release, kinda like Netflix does when deciding whether to renew a series.

[GhostofHorizon]

Spoken like a true fanboy Pastaseny.

I am a Playstation fan and I've never pretended to be anything else. I will argue for and against them based on what I personally believe but you just name call everyone you don't agree with a Sony clown.
See the difference between us?

[UnHoly_One]

Good one.

You know that that last thing Xbox wants is for people to subscribe to Game Pass.

They must really hate the millions of subscribers they have.

[Sayai jin]

Nakiro, why are you arguing for a company?

[Atticus_finch]

I think you mean the people who love to rent games.

[Father__Merrin]

More people will buy it on ps5 than when it comes to xbox.

[chiefJohn117]

I would hope so, more people have ps5 lol so it should. I just know imma be buying it. Soon as I seen the gameplay and premise. I was sold. Now support it so we can get a sequel.

[Gamer75]

Either way MS will get paid so there's that

[Sayai jin]

Yes. PS user base is much oarger than Xbox's. The profits will go i to development for Arkane's next game.

[outsider1624]

Id worry with you xbox fans first. 93% vs 7 % remember?

[jznrpg]

I’ll support it with a max of 20$

[CaptainHenry916]

If Halo Infinite can't top this score it will be some controversy 🤔

[senorfartcushion]

This is a ps5 game, not an Xbox game. Halo is irrelevant.

[Killer73nova]

It’s a timed exclusive

[alb1899]

This is a MS game and everyone knows that is a provisional exclusive for PS5. Take it easy brotha!

[John_McClane]

So who owns the studio?

[Taero]

For people asking who owns Arkane, it's Microsoft. Arkane is owned by Zenimax Studios, they also own Bethesda and now Microsoft owns them and so all 8 of their child companies.

[chiefJohn117]

How? And why? You bugging this is a hit and I'm happy as hell. And I'm the biggest Halo fan here. DeathLoop FTW!

[rich3783]

why are there 17 reviews on this game in the first page of this site already? Just shove it down our throats so more why don't you.....

[Nyxus]

Because the review embargo just lifted?

[GhostofHorizon]

This literally happens with any big game once the embargos for reviews are lifted.

[CDbiggen]

Unfortunately they're right, it happens with every big release on this site.

[alb1899]

I present you the front runner for the game of the year!

[Relientk77]

I expected this game to be good, but 10/10 from both GameSpot and IGN wow

[senorfartcushion]

It IS AAA. It’s not hard to get a high score for AAA on these sites. A ten is not as rare as it used to be either :(

[JEECE]

It's still rare for a game to get this many tens. Most people probably expected a lot of 8s from these types of sites.

[senorfartcushion]

It’s not

[foker]

This ,.. Ratchet and Returnal,..maybe even Psychonauts 2 (it is really good on PS5),.. 12hour to go,..Was skeptical,.. but then I saw walk trough hour,.. and it is funny as hell,.. Great year ,.. Especially for PlayStation 5 gamers.

[Baza]

Wow impressive

[talocaca]

Maybe that's why Sony was showing it every 5 minutes?

[Aussiesummer]

I prefer easy allies review, seems far more realistic.

[TheColbertinator]

Did not expect this much praise. Arkane pulled it off.

[darkrider]

Another great move from Sony. Now I understand why they wanted the game. It's also funny to read the salty comments.

[Father__Merrin]

Ps5 has best games this year and very likely next year also

[Sayai jin]

It is a great game. Hope it gets a sequal.

[DOSemp]

woke media giving 10?
hmmmmm

[Chevalier]

I got to give it to GameSpot! That title is such a nice allusion to another Timeloop! Very slick title.

All you need is Kill is a reference to another timeloop series - https://www.amazon.com/All-...

Which turned into the Hollywood movie Edge of Tomorrow.

[GameZenith]

This is going to look good on my RTX 3080 with 100+FPS

[shadowT]

another great game for PS5!

[Donjune]

Another Bethesda gem!

[XxINFERNUSxX]

This looks like a GOTY contender or maybe a winner, this is the second 10/10. 👍👍

[metalhead]

Ok people commenting on n4g were legit crapping on this game YESTERDAY for a video that leaked saying they’ve seen too much gameplay they were bored. Suddenly IGN and Gamespot align in 10/10 and everyone is like woooooooah guess I’ll buy it now. And we all say reviews don’t matter lmao .

Either way I’m stoked to play this game and have been for some time now.

[Sayai jin]

Great job Arcane Studios. Seeing this game now has me really anticipating Redfall.

[Rhythmattic]

Ali G's Seal of approval.

[Father__Merrin]

It may be getting 10s because it's a good game that's a breakout from the norm
