The core of any immersive sim’s gameplay is the thrill you get from finding different solutions to complex problems.

Because a score can give you the wrong impression about why Deathloop is great, let’s take a slightly deeper look at this game’s problems, greatest qualities, and the strange relationship between the two that shows you just how rare a game like this really is. Yet, I too am convinced that Deathloop is a masterpiece not just in spite of its flaws but, in some strange ways, because of them. It’s loaded with obvious shortcomings that will surely chase people away from its inherently divisive core gameplay. Well, no game is perfect, and Deathloop is one of the most imperfect major games I’ve played in quite some time. When a game starts getting perfect scores, it’s tempting to start telling yourself it must be perfect. Deathloop‘s initial reviews have everyone buzzing about this timed PS5 exclusive from developer Arkane Studios (the team behind modern classics such as Dishonored 2 and Prey), but I’m a little worried that the positive buzz surrounding this game is going to give people the wrong impression about what kind of experience it actually is.
