![]() Balancing didn’t seem to be a big priority here. It all comes back to the fact that you will be way overpowered by the time you actually get these codes that it doesn’t matter. You find the safe, put the code in, and you get a weapon trinket that some random bum off the street had when you killed them. Imagine that you’ve been searching for a safe code for a few hours, done a few loops, and you finally get it. Throughout the world, some safes and doors are locked with codes. The trinkets themselves are fine it’s how you sometimes get them that bothers me. You can think of these like weapon mods that make you shoot further, aim down your sights quicker, or any other minor weapon buff. One other thing you can infuse are trinkets. While all of that sounds cool, a Linked silence headshot that brings down five enemies is even better. You can go invisible for a bit, pick up and toss enemies, or increase your damage while taking less damage. I stuck with those mostly, but there are a couple of others as well. Link will enable you to link people together so one bullet can kill them all. There are also a couple of new ones, such as Link. You get the classic Blink that allows you to teleport short distances. The targets are the ones you find the Slabs on, and they can be infused as well. There are also powers called Slabs that give you abilities. While I felt the challenge early on, I had all the weapons I wanted fast and burned through enemies after a few loops. The game tries to counter this by making you lose it all once a loop is over, but it does little to stop you from becoming very powerful very quickly. After about three runs, I had so much equipment that I hardly needed to infuse anything anymore. You can infuse between loading into areas, and you earn the currency by finding it in levels. When you die, you lose all the equipment you haven’t infused to yourself. ![]() The roguelike part of the game comes into play here as well. The world has a bunch of side objectives and gear for you to find and equip. It isn’t just about killing the targets though. Needless to say, you will be doing that quite a bit. Then I had to reset one more time actually to find them both and kill them. I found that info in the afternoon and had to restart my loop to find the meeting spot. For example, I had two targets meeting at a secret spot for lunch. On the other hand, if you think this sounds like a lot of work, you probably won’t enjoy it. If you like putting together clues and puzzles to find the perfect chance to kill these guys, you will love it. There are four areas total, and they change every time you come back, but you are still visiting the same areas repeatedly. That part of the game is really going to make or break the whole thing for you. I’m not great at math, but that means you have to double up or triple up a few times to break the loop. You have four loads before the loop ends (morning, noon, afternoon, and dusk) and eight targets to kill. The way time progresses in Deathloop is when you leave an area or die. Finding the targets alone is actually pretty easy it’s getting them all before the end of the loop that is difficult. To do this, you enter each zone and find notes, check computers, open safes, and eavesdrop on enemies. Now that you know how to escape, you need to put together a plan to do it.
