Deathloop is for sure one of the most curious titles of 2021. It was announced as an exclusive for the PlayStation 5, but during its development, the Microsoft ended up buying its publisher, Bethesda. In short, we have a game of xbox studios leaving for the competitor console, and there's no information on when he'll make it to the green side of the force. Leaving that aside, Deathloop is absolutely one of the best games released in 2021 and will enter with a lot of strength in the awards for best games of the year. 3r496j
Die, come back and start all over again 2y6v58
The game starts with our hero being killed by a very beautiful young woman, only to wake up alone on a small beach, surrounded by bottles of alcoholic beverages. When looking for a way out, he comes across flying letters that say “break the cycle”. Following the path, he realizes he has no idea what his name is. Upon entering a kind of bunker, finds a map with the information of 8 different individuals. Going a little further, we discover that our character is called Colt and he has a single mission: to break the cycle.
Of course, there's a lot more plot than the one described above, but I've tried to leave it as little as possible without saying anything about the development of the story, which takes place through death. There are a total of 4 different periods of the day to visit the island: morning, noon, afternoon and night. In each of them, the Visionaries, as Colt's targets are known, are available to be fought, except Julianna, which can attack you at any time, but more on that later.
some of these Visionaries carry objects called Plates, which give a kind of super power, and others carry special weapons. The Plates can also be equipped with extras, which give even more advantages. Weapons can be equipped with small squares of glass, the trinkets, which vary in color (depending on their quality) and also give extra abilities, such as easier aiming, and so on. Both Plates and Trinkets need to be infused into Colt, otherwise they will disappear at the end of the day. For this we use Residuum, which can be collected during the stages and by killing one of the Visionaries.
Colt has a unique Plate: which gives him the ability to have 3 lives. That is, we have three chances to complete the mission and escape that area before returning to the beach. However, if he dies before ing through the tunnel, he loses everything. I confess that at first this irritated me a lot, but over time I understood how that mechanic worked and started to take advantage of it, as opponents forget our existence by murdering us.
Managing it all is a big deal especially when Jullianna appears on the scene. The villain can be controlled by the computer, or by another player. Each time she appears with different Plates and equipment, so there's no way to know exactly what to expect from her attack. By killing her, luckily, we gain an extra life in case we lost her, in addition to being able to acquire all her belongings. Playing with Julianna is a whole different feeling, and killing Colt also sounds kind of wrong, as we control him for the entire journey.
Blackreef, where everything happens 2q1x5m
All our adventure takes place on the island of blackreef, which is divided into four districts: update (a pretty big city with lots of rooftops to explore), Fristad Rock (a huge quarry with several tunnels), Complex (the labs on the island) and Karl's Bay (a plane graveyard and a place for lots of fun).
The locations present in Deathloop it has its own charm and they are very large. There are several possible paths to accomplish the same mission, whether through tunnels, secret ages, doors and holes. That is, playing Rambo and shooting wildly is never a good option. You can sneak up behind pretty much every enemy and send them back to the next cycle.
Each part is completely different depending on what time of day you visit. It's practically as if the four seasons happen on the same day, which brings a freshness to each scenario, as we are practically obliged to visit them over and over again.
The objective of each of the visits is to explore more and more areas and thus acquire information, whether about the Visionaries' routine, or about the functioning of the island. There is so much hidden, that I was forced to spend a lot of time picking up “snippets” of information scattered around the island. Discoveries are stored in the game's pause menu, and can be accessed whenever you feel like it.
This all happens for one reason: Colt needs to get rid of all enemies in the same cycle. And for that he needs a lot of information, even more if he wants to find out what makes the cycle happen. I confess that this formula was a little tiring for me, but after I got the idea, I started digging through absolutely everything, since knowledge is power.
macheted on them 28725r
One of Colt's trusty weapons is a Machete that can be used to easily sever opponents' parts. It is a festival of heads, arms and trunks cut in half. In addition, there are numerous weapons available in the game. Anything dropped by opponents can be used. So just find the best combination for you.
I particularly loved using the nail shooter. He is quite silent and can kill several in a row without being discovered. Another weapon that I really liked was a rotary machine gun, you could feel the weight of the pet and the destruction it caused, as you could see arms, legs and heads flying away before disappearing.
The whole adventure takes place in first person, so if you're already used to this type of game, Deathloop is highly recommended. If not, insist a little, Colt's journey is well worth it.
The translation, localization, and dubbing of the game were exquisite. All the voices match their respective characters, even the loose phrases that common enemies let out when starting combat.
And speaking of him, whenever we start exchanging bullets or putting a machete on someone, the music changes and gets more lively, even if for a few seconds. If the thing gets hot and the shooting intense, it reflects the danger and tension of the moment. The sound of weapons and footsteps were also very good, and you can tell exactly which side the threat is coming from. I'm not much of a sneaky person, so the music was tense and fast almost all the time.
Deathloop 3s3r40
With very good mechanics and a construction of phases that will certainly be a reason for study by other developers, Deathloop It's definitely another great hit by the duo Arkane/Bethesda. With a cast of charming characters and several intriguing challenges, the title will enter strong in the search for the best game of 2021 award. PlayStation 5, I can confidently say that it will forever be ed as one of the great games of its era.
