Maybe this is the wrong place to post this, but I just want to gush. Being a time loop game, Deathloop will have you doing the same thing over and over again – but similar to Hades, they alleviate some of this repetition by giving you new bits of conversation with Julianna, the primary antagonist, every loop. I must have looped over 100 times in my playthrough, and I didn’t hear a single conversation between them repeated.
While the protagonist and Julianna are definitely the standouts, it’s clear that Arkane set the bar very, very high for the VA in this game across the board. All of the main targets you’re supposed to kill are ridiculously well voiced – so much so that this is one of the only instances where I find myself reflecting on how good the voice acting and direction is instead of how pretty the graphics are or how fun X mechanic is.
I think what sets the performances here apart from other notable games such as TLOU or The Witcher or other …
