Given the ongoing global pandemic effectively turned real life into a seemingly endless cycle of repetition, you’d think developers and gamers alike would relish the chance to stretch their virtual legs a little.ĭeathloop at least promises to add some escapist absurdism into the merry-go-round mix. However the timing of the genre’s recent revival, led by last month’s PS5 shooter Returnal and upcoming Xbox adventure 12 Minutes, is curious to say the least. Majora’s Mask, the Legend of Zelda series’ turn-of-the-century infamously divisive foray into the format, is only a few years younger than Harold Ramis’ much-loved 1993 movie. Timeloop games – the medium’s equivalent to Groundhog Day, in which you replay the same cycle of events over and over again, observing and changing different elements each time to engineer new outcomes – are nothing new, of course.
