Deathloop.
Stevivor’s Game of the Year awards continue today with honours for the Best Action title of 2021.
Hands down, Stevivor’s staffers voted to award this one to none other than Deathloop.
“Deathloop offers up a highly enjoyable gameplay loop [pun intended] shrouded in mystery,” I wrote in my review.
“When Deathloop clicks, it really clicks. Maps are large enough to hold secrets but aren’t distressingly sprawling; each provide ample opportunities to carefully slink around or charge in, guns blazing,” I continued. “A very vertical map design is further aided by a series of astounding audio clues that help to assure you that you’ve pulled off a headshot or are about to be made by an enemy, turret or mine.”
Stevivor’s GOTY 2021 runs straight through until the end of the year — you can check out a schedule below.
Congratulations to Bethesda and Arkane for the win!
