Twinblade★ 4,082 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I had no idea of it was based on some Prey DLC. Apparently that did the loop mechanic better so people who played it were nowhere near as impressed by Deathloop. Link to post Share on other sites

The one that stuck out to me was the analogy about Rube Goldberg machines, how its satisfying to see everything play out from beginning to end, but many moments in Deathloop are like Rube Goldberg machines where you only see the beginning and then the end, and thats it. Like when you trigger the fireworks in one timeline and you know thats going to kill one of the visionaries in another, but you don't see any of that play out so you feel detached from it all. Im glad I was able to get Prey for free from EGS. Im interested in playing it and seeing how it compares, apparently some people still consider it to be Arkane's best game.

Mr. House 3,371 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Prey was amazing, imo. Not without it's flaws but very underrated. Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,082 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 I was hoping to wait until I finished SMT5 but I said fuck it and started Prey. Only a hour and a half in but its promising so far. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
