In Deathloop, you play as a Colt Vahn. A man trapped inside a time-loop on some Bioshock flavored Island called Black Reef. After every night or death, Colt wakes up on the beach of the previous morning. The only way to break to loop is to find a way to kill 8 visionaries in one day without dying.
Much like Atreus following in the footsteps of his father, Ragnarok has big shoes to fill when following up on the 2018 soft reboot of God of War. Ragnarok picks up a few years after the last game. Atreus is a bit older, and Fimbulwinter is in full effect.
King of Seas has an arcade feel to its gameplay, although you still need to manage your sails, wind direction and point the shooty bits of your cannons the right way. But you also wield magical skills that allow your ship to launch fireballs, summon sharks and fire laser beams using mysterious voodoo. You can also have your crew pee on the cannons to cool them off, yes, that is actually a skill.
