Arkane Lyon continues to be the one of the premier developers of original IP in the gaming space with their ever expanding portfolio of immersive sims. DEATHLOOP melds the characteristic depth of environmental exploration and imaginative world-building that has become expected of Arkane-made games with their best-in-class gameplay ingeniously rigged this go-around onto a run-based, rogue-lite structure asking you to ‘run the perfect loop.’
As a sartorialist seeks a fine tailor, I gravitate towards the expertly crafted game garments that the folks at Arkane assemble. Each scenario for the various assassination targets making up your loop feel like tastefully selected fabrics whose individual patterns and textures join in the making of this exquisite coat, sewn together with precise, machine-stitched systems.
The DEATHLOOP coat is an expert-level exercise in silhouette and proportion as the tight, v-taper of the early game waist blossoms into the expansive late game slope of the shoulders, the front adorned with hand-applied set piece buttons that tastefully display a sophisticated sense of small details within a grand vision.
DEATHLOOP is a smart, navy sportcoat; a fashion staple that will never go out of style. Sophisticated, systems-driven gameplay in a shade that makes it appropriate for first dates and court dates, for playing once and making your loop canon, or for returning time and again, basking in the comfort of something so well made.
