It’s also a time-loop game where players relive the same day over and over again, calling back to the roguelite experiments in Prey’s Mooncrash expansion. It’s a first-person shooter that dishes out boisterous action and supernatural stealth in equal measure, ala Dishonored. The PS5 timed console exclusive draws a clear line through Arkane’s history. The multiplayer experience is entirely optional, and players can choose to have Julianna controlled by the AI within her campaign.Deathloop – Official Gameplay Walkthrough | PS5 So if you're feeling sneaky, you too can slip into Julianna's stylish sneakers and infiltrate another player's campaign to kill Colt.
