Niche genres don’t deserve to get squeezed out of the market though and immersive sims even less so. Immersive sims like Deus Ex and Prey are consistently highly-rated and highly-praised, yet they’ve also never sold well; good ratings simply aren’t enough to bridge the gap. Arkane Studios’ “Deathloop” represents a real chance to change that, though. The studio is well-known; the game has a cool art style, and its gameplay looks both fast and fun. Will it be enough to keep the genre going?
