![]() The premise of the game has the potential to be super confounding, but the expert execution and clearly laid out parallel mission structure makes it nigh impossible to get lost amongst the madness. Pertaining to four specific times of the day (morning, noon, afternoon and evening) across four different maps, objectives revolving around how to manipulate your targets and get them all lined up for a one-day killing spree are clearly and cleverly signposted and tracked. ![]() In fact, in terms of the major puzzle pieces that have to fall into place and make this Killtastrophe possible, the game does all of the heavy lifting. I reviewed another time-looping title recently called Twelve Minutes, but for anyone who has trepidations about having to solve complex time-based puzzle that make your smooth brain hurt, Deathloop is 100% not that sort of game. Finding out who she is, who you are and why she’s so goddamn mean all the time is at the heart of the story, and her banter with Colt is the definite highlight of the character interactions. ![]() There’s also the small case of Julianna, one of the Visionaries who hunts you endlessly over the day and taunts you with merciless sass over the radio. While the time-based implications are obviously daunting, the objective is simple – kill all eight Visionaries in one day and escape the nightmare. Standing in his way are the eight Visionaries, whose very existence perpetuates the loop. The upside is that every time the day resets he retains the information from the day he’s just experienced, which gives him the advantage he needs to break the loop and set himself free. Whether he survives the day or dies before breakfast, Colt is destined to wake up on that same beach, on the exact same day, doomed to live out eternity in an endless cycle. Fumbling through the initial confusion while simultaneously being heckled by a mysterious woman named Julianna, Colt realises that the entire island is stuck in a temporal loop. In the main story you’ll take the reins of Colt, who wakes up dazed and confused on a beach on the fictional island of Blackreef. ![]()
