Deathloop successfully blends shooting, stealth, and time-loop mechanics into an engaging and experimental experience. Despite some repetition and lack of enemy variety in the final third, the game's freedom and confident design make it a strong contender for game-of-the-year.

“Deathloop is a tremendously stylish stealth‑action game that builds on Arkane's strengths, even if some of its creative gambles fall flat.”
