Yes, some of them seem to be very similar and you will likely follow the same path on a few occassions, but the game allows you a lot of freedom and flexibility to explore the environments and reach your objective at your own pace in your own way. I'm glad it's neither of those things.Īrkane Studios does a great job of sending you down familiar paths and story lines without forcing you to repeat tasks. Then, once I started playing it I thought: perhaps it's a game that you can actually complete in an hour, if you know the correct sequence of events to get to the end game.

I thought I might be playing a game that is just one long level that works on a trial and error basis you might die frequently but you learn what's ahead and how to avoid it next time. When I jumped into Deathloop, I wasn't sure what I was expecting. And what I've found is nothing short of genius. I love the Dishonored franchise so I was very intrigued to see what its "spiritual successor" had in store. So it peaked my interest and having read up a bit more about it I decided to dive right in and experience it for myself. Perhaps that's becasue we've had few big titles drop in the past year due to the global pandemic? Or because it is truly that good. But, fast forward to release and it has received utterly glowing rewards - GOTY status in some eyes. Once more details on the game started to arrive, I became slightly less optimistic and less interested in the concept. I remember playing Dishonored one hungover Christmas morning, not knowing much about it and being glued to my seat unable to get away from the action (the hangover probably didn't help). Separate from these eight free games, it’s also worth mentioning that the anticipated indie survival horror game Signalis is joining the Humble Choice library on its launch day, October 27 for active subscribers.When I first heard about Deathloop I was overly excited that one of my favourite developers, Arkane Studios, was creating a new franchise. You can check the full lineup listed below. The seven other free Humble Choice games this month include Monster Train First Class, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, Disciples: Liberation, and more, all of which are yours to keep forever. Check our Deathloop review for more information. Developed by Arkane, Deathloop incorporates immersive sim elements similar to the studio’s other first-person shooters like Prey and Dishonored, as well as roguelite structure, and a unique multiplayer system where players can infiltrate each others’ game worlds as Colt’s rival, Juliana. This critically-lauded FPS casts players as Colt, an assassin hunting down eight targets living on Blackreef Isle: a stand retro-futurist compound stuck in a never-ending time loop. Free games are always a great perk, but Deathloop is an especially exciting freebie.
