Deathloop

Runs that play out differently every time

As the assassin Colt, you are trapped in a time loop on Blackreef and must eliminate eight targets in a single day. Knowledge from each run, supernatural powers and a slick 60s retro style turn the loop into a puzzle, while another player can invade as the rival Julianna.

Hitman: Contracts

Interconnected level design

The Saboteur

Historical setting

As an Irish racer turned saboteur, you fight through Nazi-occupied 1940s France with gunplay, stealth and demolition. Its signature touch is the art style: areas under Nazi control are black and white, and color returns as the resistance grows.
