It definitely looks like an Arkane game
A few hours ago Iwrote about the System Shock remake, and noted in passing thatDeathloopdoesn’t look much like an immersive sim versus Arkane’s previous games. And then, suddenly, here’s a new trailer of Deathloop where it looks wonderfully, thrillingly, like Arkane’s other games. Sneaking, stabbing, oodles of style, and for the first time, I’m fully on board. Watch it below.

The actual running and shooting was never the strongest part ofDishonoredor Prey. These are games about picking your way through an environment, either playing stealthily or at least empowering yourself via exploration rather than just weaponry.
The Deathloop trailer above has enough invisibility, crouching, and poised knives - not to mention some lovely environment design - to make me feel that it’s in the same lineage as those other games. It just seems toalsohave faster and slicker action. I’m good with that. I will gladly do a fancy shootybang and then leap out of a window.
I like the song in the trailer, too. More games should have their own theme song. More games should follow inMetal Gear Solid’s footsteps and have this kind of Bond-y theme tune, too. Top marks all around.
