I didn't expect these scores. I love Arkane, and will definitely try Deathloop. I bet MS wishes they bought Bethesda before this timed-exclusive deal was in place. MS could use a good 1st party game like this.
@gym_lion: lmao, You guys are the kings of spin. This game can only be played on PS5 for the foreseeable future and you try to spin it as a positive for Xbox. Such a delusional bunch you are. Another awesome game you can't play on Xbox now.
How is it spin? Arkane is a MS studio, this proves they're top tier studio, and the last thing PS gamers will get of them is one game sampling that greatness. All of their future games are Xbox console exclusives.
Sometimes you need to enjoy the long game. PS gamers get yet another pathetic timed exclusive deal, and Xbox gamers will eventually get this game, but also get all of Arkane's future work.
It means Redfall is gonna be a great game too. So add that to next years Xbox line up.

It is a MS 1st party game. Just not exclusive. But now imagine how awesome Redfall will be next year.
PS fans think this is spin. So let me explain what this is about:
With a little patience, the long game is worth the wait and having a 10/10 top tier studio, that's what it's about. A 1 year timed exclusive deal isn't going to hurt anyone, we all have a ton of games to play in the mean time.
You have your timed exclusive, Arkane is now Xbox only.
its the same guy that bashes one of the GOAT games, re4.
Ghost is right on that as well. Shoot head/Kick/slash, exploit dumb AI with doors, ladders, do the same shit in the loop over an over.
Once know this stuff, which is figured out easily in the opening village, don't even really need to try regardless of difficult. All the attempts at resource management become moot.
Only real challenge is shitty QTE and a shitty wave-race section that comes out of nowhere.

When journalist rate 10/10. they usually do with most popular IPs or exclusive ones.
in this case its the first game that get 10 that made by developers who have less budget than average AAA developers infact Arkane are not even AAA instead AA developers yet this game get 10 a first time in history non AAA FPS game get 10.
and this is where damage control started. not even Halos getting 10 as of decades.

Lol I love how the GS review says nothing about the garbage AI and they actually praise the crappy graphics XD
LOL another damage control. I told you.
lets get hype for genericfield 2042.
Who's damage controlling? The AI looks like complete shit. If you have the game can you explain to me what makes how he's wrong? ACG said the same thing in his review, the challenge is cakewalk. Boring game with neat visuals here and there.

Reviwers praise its Level design and its uniqness. thats what I have seen in this game. and I dont call a game where you die and restart from beginning is cake walk. first few hours are tutorial. its a long game. and has tons of freedom and multiple way to complete mission.
Its mid tier AA game got 10 get triggered. if it was AAAAE sony game and play itself everyone is praising it!!.
hows good AI in GTA 5? in RDR2?? RDR2 I beat it have one of the dumbest AI as enemies donot even move yet no one criticize it because OMG animations OMG graphics.
how good AI is in sony movie games? they literally play itself.
@ghosts4ever: But that's the thing, ACG said in his review that the only time you might die in this game is if you "push too hard", which I take to mean that you rush through the level and have tons of enemies following you without ever engaging them yet. Enemies are extremely stupid in this game, having terrible peripheral of seeing you, you can set off an explosion at times and they won't be alerted. You can kill a friend next to one of the enemies and they won't be alerted. It all screams of TOO EASY.
And yes, Rockstar games are easy as well. I didn't mention those though. But if you want to go there, there is way more meat to chew on in RDR2 and GTA5 than easy Deathloop with 8 targets and four maps...even with the changing in environments.
This just all looks too pretentious and easy to warrant a full price purchase. Deep deep sale, if that.

Compared to the older days a lot of gamers tend to have more cynicism when it comes to game media reviews.
A lot of that, regardless if they like to admit it or not, is kind of their own doing. We've all seen the Cuphead video, the Spongbob puzzle a toddler could solve. The pseudo-intellectual shit nobody cares about. The bad takes.
Tamoor Hussain do tend to largely agree with. His Prey review was spot on.
this is interesting if true, from arkane's discord. deathloop has an adaptive difficulty system but no difficulty settings. implies the ai starts out forgiving and scales up to the standard of the player

and then people judge game based on never played or just played the tutorial. I bet many haters wont even play this game more than passing tutorial then make judgement or even tried playing it.
Adaptive difficulty sounds like they are just bullshitting to be honest, and I read through that little post there. Like I said before, ACG had no problems with the game and was disappointed with how braindead the AI was. Maybe he needed to replay the game over and over for the adaptive difficulty to set in and then the AI could 360 no scope him from across the map? Lol, kidding of course.
However, the PVP system is intriguing. It looks like one of the only saving graces of the game. Sadly, that's not enough for me to want to pay full price.

@ghosts4ever: How many times do you have to buy a new video game before you can look at footage of an entirely new video game and compare it to the ones that came before?
Sure, all of us haters could truly be wrong. The game could honestly have a challenge to it and the AI could actually learn and adapt to your playstyle and maybe even make this game hard.
But when the footage and reviewers are showing and mentioning the same thing...it's hard for me to go "ah they're just wrong. I'll go buy the game myself and find out"
**** that. I can see for myself how much enjoyment this will be without having to blow some money.

@ghost_of_phobos: Check out what he says from like 14:00 on. If that doesn't bother you then go nuts, I guess. But it looks like the same old boring easy style of gameplay I've played many times before in these kinds of games.
@Macutchi: It working as effectively as they intended is what I meant. I think developers truly believe in what they say, but then I also think that those same developers haven't really played games that do what they say much more effectively than these guys are claiming.
I mean, they aren't going to say to this guy in the post that asked about difficulty "Yes, there is only one difficulty and you shouldn't have too much trouble" because they want to sell the game and look good of course.
@poe13: it's an odd one though when you think dishonored 2 gave you complete granular control over just about every aspect of the difficulty and yet in deathloop they've gone the polar opposite and given you no control whatsoever, and then set the difficulty in a way that leaves them exposed to this kind of criticism. something feels amiss
@Macutchi: Adding to that, it also seems weird that the dumb AI was not brought up in Tamoor's review here on Gamespot and there are no negatives at all. I get that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but to really have nothing as a weakness also smells pretty fishy to me.
Or he really just sucks at video games and this one fit his playstyle.

yeah you're both completely wrong. You can literally say that stuff about any game ever made in history

...You literally have been judging this game for months.
@HalcyonScarlet: That's all Lems have, the "promise" of a future. Good for Lems having a good studio but their fruits are only playable on PS5 atm. By the time this comes to Xbox, it'll be old news and won't move the needle as it'll be on Gamepass. Will be a console seller for PS5 when it matters most. If this game has a sequel not on Sony systems, no guarantee it'll be as good as this one. BTW, Let's not act like MS isn't playing catch up to Sony right now. Playstation has a track record for a reason.

I don't trust any review that doesn't list a single con. Every game has at least one con. Just from watching gameplay I can tell the graphics are bad and the AI is braindead. That's two big cons right there. I'm not sure what the media bias is for this game, but this ordinary ass game getting 10s is a farce.
