How it was received

Deathloop holds a critic score of 90 out of 100. That places it above 92% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2021 averaged 74, so it scored 16 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 85, across 274 votes.

How long it takes, and what that costs

The main story runs about 19 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 26.5 hrs, roughly 1.4 times the length of the critical path.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-8400 @ 2.80GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 12 GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 1060 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8GB). A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 30GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
