Get busy unlocking new powers, blinking in behind bad guys, stabbing and shooting and skulking around, scouring environments for clues, choosing which lead to follow next as you push and pull and probe every corner, every wrinkle of this labyrinthian puzzle box. And it's on Game Pass too? You're spoiling us, Microsoft.

A very accomplished package of gameplay features supplies the goods, and the time loop delivers fun and deceitful opportunities over and over again.

Arkane Lyon's follow-up to Dishonored is a masterclass in open-ended action game design.
