No, not even death will give Colt what he wants. It would be a shame if something bad happened. Greeted by the voice of the equally cryptic Julianna every time he wakes up, Colt slowly realises that he must kill the eight Visionaries to ‘break the loop’ and escape Blackreef.

Herein lies the main conceit of Deathloop the more days you play the more knowledgeable and, to some extent powerful, Colt becomes. Despite waking up with amnesia and himself living the same day again and again, he can actually remember new discoveries from each loop.

The island’s purgatorial state is just one of the many mysteries I was dying to uncover from the very beginning, and the journey down that rabbit hole is one that you're not likely to forget. As it happens, he’s on Blackreef - a mysterious island where every day is the same and has been for some time. Hang on, let me loop back to the beginning here.ĭeathloop puts you in the shoes of Colt, a man who wakes up on a beach not knowing where, or even who he is. Encouraging players to experiment with the variety of systems, upgrades, weapons and more, finding your own way to solve the task at hand is all part of the fun. See, whilst Deathloop will guide you by the hand to a certain extent there are myriad ways to play Arkane Studios’ hyper-stylish new shooter.
