![]() Deathloop's booze-swigging, easily distracted goons, on the other hand, make mistakes feel like a lot less of a big deal-and eventually I didn't miss the lack of an option to manually save or quicksave whatsoever. It's also hard to shake the feeling that you've somehow failed if you slip up. Other stealth games are designed this way, but sometimes the enemies are so dogged and relentless in their pursuit, it's easier just to reload. This gives you the opportunity to break away from conflict, regroup, and try something else. An in-game tutorial notes that the Eternalists-Deathloop's masked enemies-have short attention spans, which means they won't hunt you forever if you get spotted. When I'm sneaking around a group of enemies and one spots me, my instinct is to immediately quickload and take a different approach.

There must be a reason Arkane refuses to publicise the sales performance. I wonder if Deathloop was boosted by all the awards and accolades. However, Reprise doesn't completely reset the world in the same way reloading a quicksave does, so it doesn't give you quite the same advantage. By the steam statistics it looks similar to Prey, but Prey has been a long term success. You can also earn those Reprises back if you manage to kill Julianna, a player-controlled character who can invade your game at certain times. An ability called Reprise lets you die twice without being hurled back to the beginning of the loop, which gives you a little room for trial and error. If you could reload a save whenever you fancied, dying wouldn't mean much. There’s an enormous library of both classics and new favourites to choose from at almost indecently reduced prices, including Deathloop (our first game with a 10/10 review in almost two years). This setup is the reason you can't manually save, because it would cheapen the entire premise of the game. When you die, you wake up on a beach at the start of the day and have to start the cycle all over again. In Deathloop you're trapped in a time loop. ![]()
