Deathloop (PlayStation 5, PC, £59.99)
Verdict: Again, again!
Deathloop begins, appropriately enough, with a death. Yours. A woman called Julianna stands over you with a knife. She plunges it down once, twice, then you're done.
Except you're not. Your character, a straight-talking dude named Colt, wakes up moments later on an icy beach with a case of amnesia — but alive. It's the start of another day, the same one Colt just lived through.
So Deathloop is one of those games, like the recent Returnal, where death brings you back to the beginning — and you've got to try again, this time with the knowledge and equipment you picked up on the last run. It's Groundhog Day with guns.
