First off is the new weapon and slab power that players can find. Although these features aren’t Xbox exclusive, they enhance the experience for those checking out Deathloop for the first time, if not by a lot. To celebrate Deathloop’s first anniversary and launch on Xbox, a special update called “Goldenloop” was released across all platforms. Spoilers for the ending of Deathloop follow. There’s even some new content across all platforms. Overall, we expect most people to have a well-running and glitch-free experience with Deathloop on Xbox, and they won’t miss out on anything important by not trying it on PlayStation. I did run into one crash while playing, but we couldn’t replicate it, and it never crashed again. Those options are all still there on Xbox, so players who just weren’t able to experience Deathloop at launch can now have an easier time doing so. An update earlier this year also added a plethora of accessibility options to Deathloop that weren’t present at the launch. The Xbox Series X’s lack of adaptive triggers and haptic feedback makes the game less taxing on the hands while playing.

That said, those who enjoyed it or think they will like it don’t have to worry about this Xbox experience not capturing the same magic. If you weren’t in love with the time loop mechanics and infusion systems that give the game a bit of a roguelike feel when you first played the game, those basic mechanics are not different here. You don’t get innovation without iteration.” It’s less successful when it comes to its forced multiplayer component, though it’s hard to blame Arkane Studios for trying something new. Players never have to choose between stealthily exploration and hectic shootouts they’re encouraged to tackle a situation in as many ways as they can think of to concoct a perfect crime.

“It’s a stylish action game that’s entertaining in every gear.


“ Deathloop isn’t afraid to take experimental swings, and many of them pay off,” Giovanni Colantonio wrote in a three-and-a-half star review in September 2021.
