Well the guys play it safe by not giving actual number scores. I've watched reviews of games getting nothing but praise only to get a 7. They do it not to get the backlash and hide behind the truth
@@rayromano6249 I disagree, I think video game review scores are pointless most of the time because there are so many different genres and people have drastically different tastes, and these game journals don’t always have the same reviewers. Doing a review like this where they give you the pros and cons of a game is way better in terms of helping people decide if it’s something they want to buy, instead of debating about whether the score is justified.
@@tommyzty1089 true my dude true. We look for feedback and opinions, a simple number doesn't give you that. nah, I want reasons why you like or dislike something.
I LOVE this game! I was really worried about the timer aspect, but I quickly realized it is well made. Yes, you are on a timer, but you have control of how it progresses. God I love it.. I was SO relieved to figure out that you can save stuff between runs after doing some work.. such a unique game!
This game exceeded my expectations! I considered the first dishonored one of my favorite games ,I’m about 10 hours in and it’s Quickly becoming my favorite game. It takes some of the best mechanics from games, like Hitman, Dishonored and dark souls and feels very smooth and fluent
I honestly love all of Arkane's games and didn't even know this was coming out until last week! Stoked to pick it up. Thanks for the overview as always!
the concept of julianna is so cool, i love the idea of being hunted by another player that’s tied into the narrative of the game. it’s not just some other version of you for just a pvp match.
Was totally intrigued when I first heard of this game a while back, and I'm glad to see that this seems like something up my alley gameplay-wise. I'm in. See you on the loop.
Ive played Uncharted 2 and 4 like 5 times each, beat Resident Evil 4 more times than I can count, Dishonored 1 and 2 like 3 times each, Hollow Knight, Bloodborne
He only gives impressions..... if you only buy games to play them for like maybe 2 or 3 hours,then listen to his vids and buy those games. Personally, I only play games for 2 or 3 hours, so I listen to his recommendations. Have a nice day
@@InnerRise What makes someone “deserving” of playing a game; the one who paid a corporation for locked hardware? PC and console gamers can co-exist, I just don’t get it
Genuinely one of the best games I've played in a long time. I go to bed and get those dreams about what I wanna do in the game next, haven't felt that way since Diablo 3 came out.
I think it's great that they are using the things they learned while developing the dishonored franchise. Especially as a fan of those games, i really like that they didn't just go for an entirely different type of game, but re used the core mentality and feeling of dishonored.
Finally picked this up last night. I was drawn to it because it looked very original and different. That's not easy to do in this day and age. The game does do a lot of explaining at the first. It was like watching Inception where they explain everything. Very fun though, highly recommended!
I really loved the replayability of the Dishonored games so I'm happy to find out it's gameplay cycle is similar with a new story and cast of well written characters. Hope to play it soon
@@Die-Angst Dishonored is in the genre "immersive sim"... You clearly have no Idea about the genre. The whole point of Dishonored atmosphere would not work in 3rd person
These videos are invaluable. I've really been unsure about this game, and your review let me know it's one I would like pretty well, but I can wait to get it on sale some time.
I’ve been playing it the last few days and early on it’s a bit all over the place but once you really get a feel, it has legit game of the year potential
I wasn't even bothered at all by this game up until i started watching gameplay and reviews. I love Dishonoured and this looks just like that but more guns and 60's vibes. Maybe i'll get it. I don't like paying £70 for a game though
i just bought this game yesterday, i havent started yet but i will today. Ive just been looking at a couple of tips. Super helpful, im glad this channel is around. thanks guys!
I have been looking forward for this game for a LONG time so I was also looking forward for this video! I was hyped for it since the first trailer with that awesome "Nowhere to Run" remix and thought the premise was very interesting. Even though I was kinda bummed because they recently revealed it's a timed PS5 exclusive and I don't own one, I watched this video and remembered I now have a laptop :D So I think I might buy and play it on PC instead of on PS4
They recommend a i7 9700k and a 2060 to run the game at 60 frames at 1080p. Idk if frames and stuff is super important to you, but just thought I’d let you know
@@Exio407 nahhh super duper frames and graphics are not important to me, I just want to be able to play the game normally. But imma see if my laptop can run it anyway (I really don't know, but I think it'll be fine. I have played other steam games on it). Thanks man!
The concept of the game works so well with the way arkane designs it’s games. Replaying the same levels over and over, learning more and challenging yourself is built into the game. As the main character becomes more knowledgeable about world, so do you. This is why you find people that say they Love dishonored when others who just played through once will think it’s a good game but nothing special.
I think the PvP is one of the best features. It's a proper piece of psychological combat as well just shooting. I've out thought Julianas. Booby trapped her expected route and had Julianas outthink me. The human intelligence makes this very challenging at times. Another feature is the dynamic loop stress, that scales up the enemies depending on Colt's current loadout.
This game was not on my radar, but it looks really cool! However, I've seen that the Anti-Piracy software is breaking it hard on Steam, with many people suffering terrible lag. And the only other platform it is available on is PS5, which still is not available for sale in Europe yet (a year after launch). So I would love to try it, just wish they released this on PS4, XB1 (like isn't this a Bethesda game that is owned by Microsoft?)
Brilliant Video as Always. I'm loving the Game so far, Its not what I expected the game would be, & that did worry me when I started playing it. there was a good hour or so when I was constantly asking myself "Am I Enjoying this?" The narrative really gripped me thought I I kept playing because I wanted to see where it was going. Very much looking forward to seeing when the rest of the game has in store.
This game looks like a ton of fun! I’ve actually never played an Arkane game, so I’ll play those first(by the time I get around to Deathloop the exclusivity will probably be up and any bugs will be gone). I’m looking forward to Dishonored, I plan to do a pacifist run for the “good ending” and then a second run where I get to have fun and screw around with super powers.
and also the performance on pc is very wonky, so I'd say buy a ps5 if that were possible in 2021. I also don't mind they recycled the teleport from d1 and and domino from d2 cause if you're already familiar with those then using them in deathloop, and especially the mastery of teleportation is a must for some.
@@TitusMH are you crazy, big name games go on sale at xmas, the new 2k goes for like a dollar around black friday on psn if i remember right, thats just to get people playing and spending $$ in game. This game has a very low interest rate from everything ive seen, if people really dont buy it that will cause a sale so they can try to make something at least
I cannot wait to play this. I've been waiting very patiently on a true Playstation 5 game and this looks like it'll be it. Arkane are masters of their craft. 👍🏻🥇
Gets boring after a while. Seems like a game that just holds you over until some9better comes out. Probably the reason why it's been discounted for 6 months on ps5 store before release.
Something I'd like you guys address in these "before you buys" specifically with Playstation 5 is the haptics, trigger effects/jamming of guns and how all that feels. Also, I would like to know what version you are playing....patched...unpatched, that way when we see these "before you buys" the table is set for where a game is involving flaws and if you used a patch or not. These are great and helpful videos and sincerely, thank you for creating them.
Appreciate the review. I’m not one to typically listen to what companies (like IGN for example) have to say. I tend to disagree with the majority of their reviews for better or worse. So it’s nice to see someone cutting through the hype and giving a good, but still honest review of the game.
Eghh IV been playing for 2 days now...being brutally honest here and please listen to me....I already feel no need to finish the game and I'm already back to playing call of duty. Wait for it to go on sale. People tend to over sale things that are just decent these days. It's not really worth the price if your really looking to be entertained. Everything in this game has been done before. And I literally mean that. It's a 6 out of 10 game. It's average. And anyone that disagrees is straight up suffering from nothing to playism. Wait for the more honest reviews from content creators to come out. Guarantee they will be saying exactly what I just said. It's alright. A shelf game. Nothing you will ever pick back up after your done with it.
Your videos are becoming a necessity before I purchase any game. I enjoy your enthusiasm, professional criticism and courage to tell it like it is about some games I’ve watch you review in the past without worrying about reprisal from developers or mouthy gamers like myself. As much as I loved this review it doesn’t sound like this game is for me, you explained a LOT of stuff you have to do and while I’m not opposed to a lot of game work this seems a lot like Bioshock with a dash of rougelite which isnt my cup of Coors Banquet beer lol. GREAT video 👍🏻
This is such an unique game concept! Arkane is amzing! And jake, you did explain the concept well. I didnt get it properly when it was first announced.
Dude, you hit it right on the nail my thoughts exactly! I bought the game at launch and I’m just getting into it, to many good games, but yeah at first the beginning walkthrough of instructions makes it confusing and drags to loooong. I stuck through it and it’s a good thing I did because the games aight, minus a soft lock bug and no keyboard mouse support, it’s an okay game 8/10.
About a couple hours into it and honestly this game is fun af. I was interested in it when I saw it on the PS5 reveal last year and I was right on my hype. I think arkane did a damn good job on this game. And it's pretty too in quality or performance mode. Didnt notice alot of framedrops, loads pretty quick and the pacing is nice. Not gonna give it a number yet since I havent beat it, but as of now I am gonna say that I recommend this to any PS5 or PC owner.
To me this game looks like one of those "wait until its 50% off" titles. Looks pretty fun, although I don't know if I'd like it as much as something like Rift Apart, Returnal, or RE8.
i got a ps5 a month or 2 back and finally got around to playing this game. I actually really like it. Was never a huge fan of dishonored, but i dig this one a lot. I really like the character interactions though i do think its a bit weird how theres next to no space in between the banter between Colt and Juliana, like theyre talking on 2x speed. Also the bug where you get stuck in the menus is still there.
When I watched the first trailer for this game I wasn't convinced on this game at all, honestly thought to myself "mmm probably will make a bit of noise but will die off quickly". However after seeing proper gameplay and understanding the concept abit better I'd say it's a decent game.
I have 12 hours into it, and it really is a lot of fun to Plat especially once you start getting upgrades and used to the gameplay loop. I would rate it a 8/10.
Thank you, you guys always deliver the best reviews imo. I was thinking of getting this, but after your review i noticed a few things i just didnt enjoy, so ill be skipping it. Great work guys
I wasn't hyped at all for this game, fearing it might be like godfall. But after seeing the reviews and the gameplay I'm gonna play it as soon as possible.
I have one question, that will make or break me, once you buy the upgrade to keep the power or weapon into the next loop, do you have to keep purchasing for the next loop and the next loop after, or is it permanent?
I definitely agree there's a wonderful balance of holding your hand but also letting you figure things out on your own. The beacon will show you the general area of your objective but you still have to investigate and puzzle solve. Equally helps from getting too frustrated but also presenting a good challenge!

Is it surprisingly good?
That’s my issue, not a dishonored fan. Not hating. Just not my style.
If there’s any constant for me over the years, it’s the enjoyment from Jake Baldino’s reviews.
Are they really reviews? He just gives his impressions and not much else.
I knew him from EricWithNoK when he was just a nobody and the co-reviewer.
Yeah his style is great. Feel like his opinions mostly align with mine so I get a pretty good idea if I'll like a game or not.

The fact you can't change your powers during a mission makes it frustrating but altogether a very Arkane game!
and also the performance on pc is very wonky, so I'd say buy a ps5 if that were possible in 2021.
I also don't mind they recycled the teleport from d1 and and domino from d2 cause if you're already familiar with those then using them in deathloop, and especially the mastery of teleportation is a must for some.
@@greendude0420 the arkane pc curse skips every other game huh
@@JiF28 Not Arkanes fault I think perhaps Bethesda? ‘‘Twas the case for Doom Eternal for a while since it also uses Denuvo
This game looks tedious.
@@greendude0420 Not really
Ive been debating so hard on this game, so glad you put this out. Ill definitely be picking it up, may wait a few months and get it half off lol
I'm with you. Game looks good but with time looping idk if I'd go the whole 60 bucks for it..
@@nickgarcia1292 same. With how fast games reduce in price, it's better to just wait until it's at least $40. Probably by black friday or christmas.
@@ImGeoX change region to getit cheaper
@@ImGeoX its a new game it won't be on sale
@@TitusMH are you crazy, big name games go on sale at xmas, the new 2k goes for like a dollar around black friday on psn if i remember right, thats just to get people playing and spending $$ in game. This game has a very low interest rate from everything ive seen, if people really dont buy it that will cause a sale so they can try to make something at least
The dishonored series will always be some of my all time favorite games, this game hadn't been really on my radar but now I know I gotta have it.
Really enjoyed that review helps alot to understand how the game works 👍
Thanks Jake for another great video. One Q though: bottom line - is it a Roguelike or not?
No
In some ways
definitely looks like something i'll pick up once i have a PS5. i've been stoked about this game since they announced it.
the deluxe version is available on ps4
This looks so cool, I loved Prey and the Dishonored games, so I can't wait to play this
Wasn’t on my radar until yesterday, I’ve been sorely tempted since. Gonna wait for post release to see if it lives up.
I cannot wait to play this. I've been waiting very patiently on a true Playstation 5 game and this looks like it'll be it. Arkane are masters of their craft. 👍🏻🥇
Gets boring after a while. Seems like a game that just holds you over until some9better comes out. Probably the reason why it's been discounted for 6 months on ps5 store before release.
@@mog_3825 i second this. This is why I don't want to buy this, better game will be released in the next 2-3 weeks.
if you havent played it yet get returnal....easily best game of the year
@@jensonbigby5733 I'm going to try Returnal today. 👍🏻
Returnal Is better, plus, this looks like a PS4 game
I’m so excited for it I’m getting it later this month.
Me too
Something I'd like you guys address in these "before you buys" specifically with Playstation 5 is the haptics, trigger effects/jamming of guns and how all that feels. Also, I would like to know what version you are playing....patched...unpatched, that way when we see these "before you buys" the table is set for where a game is involving flaws and if you used a patch or not. These are great and helpful videos and sincerely, thank you for creating them.
Appreciate the review. I’m not one to typically listen to what companies (like IGN for example) have to say. I tend to disagree with the majority of their reviews for better or worse. So it’s nice to see someone cutting through the hype and giving a good, but still honest review of the game.
After seeing this I'm quite surprised. I think I'm gonna pick this up it looks so unique.
It seems just like returnal. You play the level you gather items and weapons you die you start all over again
@@lukeskywalker2778 Na it's nothing like returnal believe me
Its nothing like returnal its a great game
Eghh IV been playing for 2 days now...being brutally honest here and please listen to me....I already feel no need to finish the game and I'm already back to playing call of duty.
Wait for it to go on sale. People tend to over sale things that are just decent these days.
It's not really worth the price if your really looking to be entertained. Everything in this game has been done before. And I literally mean that. It's a 6 out of 10 game. It's average. And anyone that disagrees is straight up suffering from nothing to playism.
Wait for the more honest reviews from content creators to come out. Guarantee they will be saying exactly what I just said.
It's alright. A shelf game. Nothing you will ever pick back up after your done with it.
It’s really good and that’s coming from someone who only plays 3rd person melee games
Your videos are becoming a necessity before I purchase any game. I enjoy your enthusiasm, professional criticism and courage to tell it like it is about some games I’ve watch you review in the past without worrying about reprisal from developers or mouthy gamers like myself. As much as I loved this review it doesn’t sound like this game is for me, you explained a LOT of stuff you have to do and while I’m not opposed to a lot of game work this seems a lot like Bioshock with a dash of rougelite which isnt my cup of Coors Banquet beer lol. GREAT video 👍🏻
This is such an unique game concept! Arkane is amzing!
And jake, you did explain the concept well. I didnt get it properly when it was first announced.
Thanks Jake another for the buy column! :)
Can’t wait to play this tonight. And to see the marketing campaign end finally. 💀😭
My only question I have about his game: When you look down can you see your characters legs? That was my only complaint about dishonored 2.
Yes, you can.
Very inciteful man. Thank you. I would imagine you will be reviewing Lost Judgment, so I'm really looking forward to that one.
Dude, you hit it right on the nail my thoughts exactly! I bought the game at launch and I’m just getting into it, to many good games, but yeah at first the beginning walkthrough of instructions makes it confusing and drags to loooong. I stuck through it and it’s a good thing I did because the games aight, minus a soft lock bug and no keyboard mouse support, it’s an okay game 8/10.
Im loving the time loop games. The whole concept is amazing
No jake and the gameranx crew thank you for being here we’ll always be stopping by :)
❤️
Very nice!
I LOVE this game, already completed the perfect day and cleanish hands.
Sounds amazing. I love me some time loop films so glad to get a good one in game form 👍
About a couple hours into it and honestly this game is fun af. I was interested in it when I saw it on the PS5 reveal last year and I was right on my hype. I think arkane did a damn good job on this game. And it's pretty too in quality or performance mode. Didnt notice alot of framedrops, loads pretty quick and the pacing is nice. Not gonna give it a number yet since I havent beat it, but as of now I am gonna say that I recommend this to any PS5 or PC owner.
And future xbox series X/S owners when it drops for them next year.
And Humble Choice subscribers that get it for "free".
To me this game looks like one of those "wait until its 50% off" titles. Looks pretty fun, although I don't know if I'd like it as much as something like Rift Apart, Returnal, or RE8.
Same for me, games that have you do repetitive shit just for them to feel longer I only Buy on sale
@@bd9743 dude, I can honestly say you have never played the game just by reading that comment.
Personally I think this is GOTY status, wouldn't be surprised if it wins multiple awards. I don't even usually like arkane games and I loved it.
It is more fun than Returnal though.
@@bd9743 What? Lol none of this is true.
11:18
It's like Dishonored light.
Now that's a selling point. Perfect summarization.
i got a ps5 a month or 2 back and finally got around to playing this game. I actually really like it. Was never a huge fan of dishonored, but i dig this one a lot.
I really like the character interactions though i do think its a bit weird how theres next to no space in between the banter between Colt and Juliana, like theyre talking on 2x speed. Also the bug where you get stuck in the menus is still there.
When I watched the first trailer for this game I wasn't convinced on this game at all, honestly thought to myself "mmm probably will make a bit of noise but will die off quickly". However after seeing proper gameplay and understanding the concept abit better I'd say it's a decent game.
Decent is right. It isn't 10/10.
Honestly, to me it looks a bit tedious.
I have 12 hours into it, and it really is a lot of fun to Plat especially once you start getting upgrades and used to the gameplay loop. I would rate it a 8/10.
@@timholloway8821 I'm stoked you're enjoying it!
They've been talking about this game for so long, I feel like I've already played it.
Thank you for this. Originally I was like eh whatever it looks cool but not for me but the way you explained it just makes it just for me
That juliana mechanic is soo fricking good
At this rate, I'll be in Neverending loop trying to find a PS5..
You'll get there ans when you do it'll be worth the wait, they are awesome
You didn’t get the email?
Just go buy one
It's like 1000
@@rasheenbabe2536 1000 what? Cuz if u talking dollars u got ripped off chief
I loved Prey, so I've been interested in Deathloop too. Definitely seems like a game to try out at one point.
I can't wait for speedruns in this game!!
Just got this game and became a subscriber now I’m going to try this game thanks for explaining so I don’t go in blind
Was waiting for this. Lol I refuse to watch reviews from other channels now.
Who else is here watching before this drops on Xbox 🙋🏼♂️
makes me think of we happy few but with guns, its nice to see a game that gives you a nice feeling of nostalgia
Thank you, you guys always deliver the best reviews imo.
I was thinking of getting this, but after your review i noticed a few things i just didnt enjoy, so ill be skipping it.
Great work guys
I wasn't hyped at all for this game, fearing it might be like godfall. But after seeing the reviews and the gameplay I'm gonna play it as soon as possible.
Godfall and Deathloop have one thing in common: they both have two syllables. That’s the extent of the similarities.
Excited to see your thoughts on this game. Let’s go!
Started last night and I am definitely having a blast. Great dialog in my opinion felt like more natural reactions to what was happening in game.
I have one question, that will make or break me, once you buy the upgrade to keep the power or weapon into the next loop, do you have to keep purchasing for the next loop and the next loop after, or is it permanent?
