What players say

Players are split on Loop8: Summer of Gods. Some find it funny for the wrong reasons or enjoy its nostalgic 1980s atmosphere, but many call it boring, poorly designed, and say the time-looping leads to repetitive dialogue that cannot be skipped. The combat is described as baffling and easy, and players report slow movement and a lack of quality-of-life features.
