Plowing through Deathloop. Its... ok. Enemy variety is basically different weapons and a couple bullet sponges. Glad I didn't get this at full price.
I love Deathloop for what it is. A rogue like only to service the story but the best part imo is the pvp. As you said the enemies aren't varied and are meant to be just an inconvenience unless you get swarmed. Having someone invade your game to ruin your run was a great idea only marred by the fact that the networking is not good and constantly rubber banded depending on the distance between the both of you.
I just started this as well... i was so lost forthe first few hours, not the controls, just what am I meant to be doing? I have 2 mission logs, I don't know what any of the guns or powers do and I'm meant to start collecting them?
You sort of just learn. Learn what the guns do, try and start collecting the ones that work for how you want to take out enemies, kill the big named characters for their powers and eventually build a load out and a stable of knowledge of how to kill the bosses such that you can eventually do a full run through and kill them all in the same world state.
Yeah I've slowly managed to put it together now, I'm glad I pushed through that initial confusion. It's fun, though I liked Dishonored more
I agree. I like Deathloop, I like a lot of things about it, but Dishonored and Prey are extremely tough acts to follow.
I played it a bit on Gamepass. It feels like it has the bones to be a great time loop game but doesn't seem to put it all together.
Im glad i went in blind and turned off the map markers but at some point I realized I wasn't having fun exploring and figuring out the events in the loop. Like you said the enemy variety sucks and I don't like being randomly invaded when I'm trying to map things out.
