If you’ve got the luxury of choice, pick up a cheap second-hand PS5 copy of Deathloop, or get it through PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium. Next year’s Redfall, also created in partnership between Arkane and Bethesda, will hopefully provide a pseudo-successor that’s just as compulsive, even if it doesn’t look half as stylish.

The same rules apply here.ĭeathloop is still a real treat on Series X, and cannot be missed by anyone with Game Pass who’s yet to explore paradise lost in Blackreef. While the MW reboot was inevitably held back by an expected graphical uncanny valley, this was more than enough to surpass player expectations of the monochromatic green limitations of night vision–to me, it’s the most realistic a console game has ever looked, even if it was because of real-life technological constraints. This perfect convergence of real-world technology and in-game restrictions is reminiscent of the iconic ‘Clean House’ mission from 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, when the game’s visuals offered the perfect “meeting in the middle” effect. In Deathloop’s technologically odd world–where incredible leaps in science have been made on the grandest scale, but simpler things like walkie-talkies are still firmly rooted in the same 1960s it derives its gorgeous art style from– the sound quality couldn’t be better suited if it had been actively planned between Sony and Arkane. The speaker, which isn’t half as bad as it was on the DualShock 4, is still on the tinny side, making it underwhelming in other games, sounding pitchy or outright weird. The PS5's DualSense controller is a tech marvel, and it's a crucial part of the 'Deathloop'.
