My favorite weapon (which was conveniently included in the deluxe edition of the game) is a silent, golden pistol that made me feel like I was replaying GoldenEye for the first time. Weapon Trinkets acted like any attachment you'd see in a shooter game speed reloading, increased magazine sizes, and reduced recoil are some of many attachable Trinkets I came across. These perks are randomized, but attachments known as Trinkets can be slapped onto any weapon to further customize it to your playstyle. Guns come in four flavors: grey, blue, purple, and gold offering more perks as the weapon rarity increases. With an idea as exciting as this and a long-revered studio at the helm, it's disappointing to witness Deathloop's failure to deliver on its promise of continuing Arkane's gameplay philosophy by missing the mark on the precedent of freedom laid down by previous titles.ĭeathloop's weapon pool is a bit small, but the way guns can be tailored to any distinct playstyle makes their usage unique.
Deathloop, Arkane's newest murder-puzzle shooter, sets out to cleverly weave the concept of a gameplay loop into the narrative of the game. Games like Dishonored and Prey, critically acclaimed titles from Arkane, have been praised far and wide by fans and critics alike for their open-ended approaches to play. For developers Arkane Lyon, replayability is less of a commodity and more of an expectation carefully crafted variances in gameplay approaches can be thanked for this.

From new game plus to teeth-gritting difficulty spikes, there are many ways to make a game replayable, but so very few titles make a loop satisfying enough to warrant a second playthrough.
In some games, it's possible that the creation of a gameplay loop can come from the title's replayability. Mastering the creation of the proverbial "gameplay loop" should be the penultimate goal of nearly all games, second only to crafting an enjoyable experience.
