Deathloop is a game that has many great things. The powers, the characters, the world are all terrific. But, all that would be nothing without what will surely go down as one of the best things in video games this year: the Deathloop kick. RPS freelancer Brendy Caldwell recently played that there Deathloop game for review, so I wanted to get him on to chat to me about it. Listen to our conversation over top this Deathloop gameplay to hear Brendy talk about his favourite thing in the entire game. You'll understand after you've watched the video and see the Death Loop kick in action.

It's a thing of beauty, really. As Brendy mentions in this Deathloop review chat, there are so many marvellous things about the Deathloop kick. Firstly, seeing screaming enemies rolling down hills is just comedy gold. Secondly, developer Arkane Studios' place enemies in the most kickable of positions, making it all the more satisfying to hoof baddies around the world. And, thirdly... just look at our Death Loop gameplay... the kick is phenomenal.
This Death Loop review chat does go into some other aspects of the game. Because, while there are some brilliantly funny moments in just punting enemies around the game, Deathloop has a genuinely funny script too, with the voice actors of both Colt and Julianna putting in great performances.
In the conversation you can hear over the Death loop gameplay, you'll also get to hear Brendy tell me about just how the time loop and assassination target deals work. It's all a little Hitman, as you're trying to take down eight targets in the most efficient way possible. It's very good. But, obviously, the kick still steals the show.
If you've enjoyed this Deathloop PC gameplay and our Deathloop PC review chat (if you're playing on console, just consider this a Deathloop PS5 review chat), then why not have a read of Brendy's full thoughts in his written Deathloop review on RockPaperShotgun.com (rockpapershotgun.com/deathloop-review)
My Favourite Thing In... is a video series where Colm chats to one of the lovely RPS writers about their absolute favourite thing in a spang new video game they’ve been playing. In some cases, the writer will have to think long and hard about their choice, because the game they’ve been playing mightn’t be that great, while better games will have multiple things for them to pick.
