      I loved the dishonored franchise; is Deathloop anything like it? Since it’s from the same devs.

      edit: Thanks everyone! Will play soon. <3

        I play every Dishonoured game every year, and Deathloop feels similar. It’s more like a new book from your favorite author, but in a different genre than they usually write in. Definitely feels closer to Prey gameplay wise (I also highly recommend Prey).

        There is not as much interaction with the story NPCs, and there is less of a focus on stealth. I found myself murdering way more than with Dishonored. That said, I really enjoyed the powers offered in the game, the quick “restarting” of the loop, and the overall story was good.

        Yeah it shares a lot of stuff with Dishonored gameplay wise, but has a roguelike bent to it. It doesn’t compare in terms of world building but it’s still fun, especially for free.

        Ehhhh sort of. You get all sorts of quirky powers, focus on gunplay.

        Prey’s DLC Mooncrash was basically the prototype of this game

        It is quite similar in mechanics. It’s a small sandbox and you also have superpowers just like Dishonored. It’s pretty different in the overall vibe and obviously more gun-focused. I think you’ll enjoy it, and since it’s free it’s easy to try.

    Is this just Epic begging people to come to their platform and shelling out $ to cover the cost for devs?

      I never spent a single cent at their store and probably never will, but since Epic is so keen on burning money I am happy to help them with that.

      That would imply that, at some point in the future, Epic might not be able to cover their devs through the EGS and have to close it. Which would probably mean you lose access to games on there.

    Hmm, it appears I already owned it on there. Which means they put it out as a free game at least once before already.

    The only games I have on there are free games.

    Hey, it’s me, that Julianna that loves to grief you on your playthrough because you forgot to turn off online play. Hope this loop wasn’t important…

    It’s really funny. I never beat the game, probably put like 10 hours if that into the main story. Probably more like 5. But I probably sunk a good 20 or 30 wrecking other people’s runs lol

    I had it on PlayStation a while back. Really enjoyed so much about it, but ultimately found the controls on console to just be unbearable.

      Don’t worry, the controls on PC are just as unbearable. It’s that style of mouse movement that would be fine in an RPG but is absolutely terrible with an FPS.

        Oh interesting, I had Dishonored on PC and didn’t remember it being so bad. And I know what you mean, the controls feel so off beat though it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what it is. Some kind of acceleration/mapping function thing. I like to use motion controls for ADS as well and those were very sensitive.

    I played this on Game Pass (Gamepass? I don’t recall how they brand it) years ago and had fun with it. I’d enjoy playing it again, assuming I could forget my previous playthrough.
