Op papier lijkt Deathloop misschien niet de spannendste game, maar het Franse Arkane Studios heeft zichzelf ermee overtroffen. In Deathloop tref je alle sterke punten van Dishonored en Prey, maar dan beter uitgewerkt. Arkane heeft spelmechanieken van Dishonored gestript tot het minimum, waardoor ze waardevoller zijn. Het maakt de game er veel spannender op. Verder heeft de studio opnieuw goede levels ontworpen en een erg mooi verhaal verzonnen dat via een prima uitwaaierende serie missies wordt gepresenteerd. Het is knap dat je via de vele runs op Blackreef steeds meer informatie krijgt over je slachtoffers. Samen met de verschillende dagdelen zorgen die vele missies ervoor dat de op papier saai ogende opzet allerminst saai is. De game heeft bovendien een leuke multiplayer-component. Het grootste minpunt is dat de pc-versie wat technische problemen kent.

Ghost reportin'. Somebody call for an exterminator?

Deathloop heeft negen nominaties voor de Game Awards gekregen. Daarmee heeft Bethesda's schietspel dit jaar de meeste nominaties in de wacht gesleept en maakt het daarmee kans op de Game of the Year-prijs.

Vinden jullie het GOTY waardig?

Ghost reportin'. Somebody call for an exterminator?

Ja, heb het helemaal grijs gespeeld. Leek me vooraf helemaal niks maar het heeft me erg verrast. Sfeer, graphic en gameplay allemaal top.

Zkkr weten vind het een hele goede game. Van mij mogen ze winnen.

Nee, wel hartstikke leuk en zit best goed in elkaar maar heeft wmb absoluut niet de wow-factor om zelfs maar genomineerd te worden voor GOTY.

Psn: No127.21.26

Voor mij terecht door de creativiteit en originaliteit die gewoon mist bij veel games deze tijd. Returnal is nog zo'n spel.

Ik vond het een hele leuke game. Goty materiaal weet ik niet. Tof verhaal wat wel wat abrupt eindigt goede voice acting en leuke gameplay maar echt overdonderd was ik niet, eens met veel reviews dat ie ongv een 8.5 krijgt ga het zeker spelen als je het nog niet hebt gedaan zeker voor de prijs waarop die nu al te krijgen is op de PS5. Aan de andere kant er zijn niet zoveel games uitgekomen dit jaar die ik gespeeld heb. Zelf vind ik Prey nog steeds de beste game van Arkane studio's deathloop wel op 2 voor mij.

Ik ga er vanavond op de PC een begin aan maken. Best wel hyped door de cijfers en nominaties

Ghost reportin'. Somebody call for an exterminator?

Ik speel het nu een paar uur en hoewel het concept gaaf is en me zeker trekt, ben ik tot zo ver nog totaal niet te spreken over het spel.

Als het op een tv speelt dat 3 à 4 meter minstens van jou vandaan staat dan zijn alle hints die ze geven in een veels te kleine font wat mij betreft. Nu is dit meer een voorkeur, maar mijn echte irritatie zit 'm in het feit dat ik nu al een paar keer had dat ik midden in een gunfight naar een bevroren spel zit te kijken. Ik geef het nog een paar kansen maar dit vind ik echt slecht voor een PS5 spel met alle updates binnen die al zo lang uit is.
