Great game for those looking for a souls like experience without the crushing difficulty. There are some difficult moments but the game gives you a huge assortment of ways to make them easier from weapons that freeze your enemy to items that give you substantial buffs and resistances. Then if your still having a hard time there is actually an easy mode (assist mode) that gives you a bunch of extra settings to make the game easier. So difficulty shouldn't be an issue here. The story is interesting enough and the atmosphere is great. It is only a AA game so graphics are fairly weak for a ps5 title but makes up for it in style. It is what I would call an open area game (not open world) where they give you enough to explore while keeping the game mostly linear. If your looking for a more chill souls like experience this is the game for you.

Deathloop is an investigative 1st person shooter. Focus is not entirely on combat, to beat the game you must throughly explore each of the 4 "levels" during each of the 4 time frames available (morning, noon, afternoon, and evening). While exploring you will uncover clues about how to kill all of your targets in one day/loop and then you have to actually pull it off (the requirement for beating the game) The game allows for you to approach combat by either being stealthy or shooting at everything that moves while blowing up as much as possible. When it comes to killing the main targets, similar options apply but they get more involved and interactive. So you could just shoot your way to a target and kill them with brute force OR you can set in motion a series of events that kills them without you ever even coming in contact with the target. An example of this wpuld be sabotage a firework factory so that it blows up when your target visits it. I think the game strikes a perfect balance between combat, exploration and puzzle solving without to much hand holding and the freedom to accomplish your goals however you like. I definitely recommend you play this game!

Great game! Reminds me a bit of Last of Us... it is just the right level of challenging so that it isn't frustrating but you still die a couple times every now and then. I really enjoy riding the bike around and drifting. Story is excellent and gun mechanics are alot of fun... I usually get bored of stealth games pretty quick but this game does a great job balancing stealth and aggressive game play almost evenly.

Packed with nail biting edge of your seat suspense... believable charectors making believable decisions and actions in the ultimate life and death doomsday scenario. Much different then Znation which had a real outrageous comic book feeling to it. This is more like walking dead when it comes to the realism factor. I also really enjoyed the camera work, it felt real gritty and helped build the suspension and added to the sense of chaos.. I also really like how they go to A black screen for a second or two every 10 or 15 minutes and display a "chapter title"... I enjoyed trying to guess what the two or three word chapter titles ment for the future of the charectors and story. I also enjoyed how they jump around from survivor to survivor and how thier stories are intertwined. This is a must see for Zombie fans!
