Crashes and freezes60 of 300 (20%)
On top of that, the game crashed twice within the first few hours, which really hurt my experience and ultimately prevented me from completing the game.The premise is genuinely unique, and I really liked how it was presented.

Performance and stutter26 of 300 (9%)
Edit: After 1.5 hours more of playtime, the stutters are back, and this time it even crashed Windows, forcing a full restart.
Steam review, 29 March 2026 · 6 hours played · 7 readers marked it helpful
Deathloop feels like a collision of three very different design philosophies: the systemic stealth and planning of Hitman, the immersive‑sim roots of Thief and Dishonored, and the fast‑paced, multi‑life FPS energy of something like Doom.

A further 8 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
