![]() After a bit of exploration and getting murdered by a very vitriolic woman, he discovers that he is trapped within a time loop. Deathloop’s story follows a guy named Colt, who wakes up on a random island to find himself reliving the same day over and over. ![]() Let’s start with the biggest way in which Deathloop separates itself from its predecessors: the roguelike mechanics. Deathloop certainly has a lot that sets it apart from prior Arkane entries. That isn’t to say that it’s entirely derivative, though. ![]() Deathloop is very much in line with the signature exploration, stealth your way around and eventually resort to combat when you inevitably make the one mistake that alerts half the surrounding enemies type of gameplay that has defined Arkane since 2012. From the well-received Dishonored titles, which placed an emphasis on first person exploration of semi-open environments with a mixture of stealth and action, to the 2017 reboot of Prey, which featured an emphasis on exploring semi-open environments from a first person perspective and a mixture of stealth and action, to now Deathloop, which is actually a gardening simulator. Perhaps more relevantly, though, it’s a new member of another, just as prestigious club, that being the latest title from the venerable Arkane Studios.

And how must the artists responsible for rendering the act of an individual pissing on the ground feel? When their kids ask them what they did at work that day, do they dance around the issue or just make something up? From Kano in Mortal Kombat 11, to the various horses one can ride in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Metal Gear Solid V, to the utterly bizarre Pee World VR, and more. There’s been a trend in recent years of games depicting characters relieving themselves. By Paul Broussard, posted on 19 September 2021 / 3,159 Views ![]()
