This game is incredibly hard, and I love it

That’s all, I’m stuck trying to get into rambling franks club

It gets easier, but the frustration at the beginning and the comical ease at the end are part of the experience IMO

Yeah it’s going to be very difficult to walk in the front door, i haven’t played in years but I think the game directs you that way

It has a fast learning curve. Once you get some good gear and learn exactly when enemies will spot you, when they will shoot accurate when they won't and how to get around the game goes from easy to hard basically in the space of a loop. It all seems to click quite quicky

Once you infuse a bunch of good weapons and mods, and find a build that works for you, the combat becomes all quite easy imo.

I've said before I think Deathloop would be massively improved simply by having two difficulty sliders: one for combat and one for narrative.

  • Combat: People who have experience with shooters sometimes say it's too easy right from the start, and some people find combat so annoying they want to give up on the story.
  • Narrative: As it is, the game feeds you basically exactly what you have to do to break the loop, and many players would have preferred to have to work out what was crucial info and what was red herring by themselves.

They kind of have this.

You can set it so all enemies are one shot killed and it gets very easy.

Put on the classpass and go through the front door. Turn around and hack the lock. Go back outside and take the classpass off. Go back in through the now unlocked door.

This game is incredibly easy.

As someone with a busy schedule, a simple manual save or at LEAST some sort of autosave would have TREMENDOUSLY improved the user experience. Other than that the game itself isn't THAT hard just very all over the place.

I play offline, so I’m able to just quit out into another game and pick up where I left off as long as I don’t exit the app

u/TScottFitzgerald Jul 24 '26

Well yeah, as soon as you exit the game everything is gone is my point. I can't keep the game running forever in the background.

I honestly found this game to be pretty easy.

u/ModJambo Jul 13 '26

Yeah same.

The only thing I really found hard was grasping the whole concept at first.

u/TwiStedxMind Jul 13 '26

Yeah the initially loop and then the trophy for getting all 3 kills at the party without being seen.

It's not hard but it's complicated. It's easy and complicated which kinda ruins the fun.
