Dying Is All Part & Parcel of the Experience
Things You Should Know Before Starting Deathloop
You’re going to die in Deathloop. You might even die a lot if another player is particularly good at hunting you down as Julianna, but that’s all part of the fun. The intense game of cat and mouse that’s constantly at play while you go about trying to take down the various visionaries in a single loop.
Dying also serves as a mechanic to help you learn the best ways to take down these visionaries, and forces you to experiment a little bit more with the various Slabs, weapons, trinkets, and perk combinations you can come up with.
If a player Julianna really does start to get on your nerves, you can always switch this option and deal with an AI-controlled version instead. It’s not quite as intense but gives you a little more leeway to help you achieve your goals.
