Title: Deathloop

Can you tell I've been stuck in yet?

Deathloop, game of the year in a fair few places and I bought it. (@Albert - how you getting on?)

It's basically a polished Dishonoured sequel with a better/different plot. There's a million places you can go and read the review, but if you are anything like me, you're impatient to get into things*. With this, give it a few rounds (days of in-game play) to let it really come to life. The characters are funny (rare), the gunplay is solid (standard), the plot seems solid so far (standard) and I've not bumped into any aliens yet (thank jeebus - yes I'm looking at you Rainbow Seige).

Really enjoying, anyone else playing?

In my lonely corridor where I can hear my own voice echo off the walls, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is the best single player game I have ever played. It's rare I complete, I thought it may be repetetive. It's a work of art, pacing, gameplay, risk vs reward. Phenomenal. Please buy it, play it and give yourself hope that single player FPS style games aren't all aliens, fast twitch and crap. (Halo Infinite, you get a pass and come close second, purely for the scorpion).

I'm gutted it's over.

(and vs online is pretty cool too, screw up other peoples games - which is optional)

The sense of humour is also delightful.
