Deathloop is an interesting game that starts incredibly strong, and then cools notably over the course of the game as the loops start getting to you in the same way they do our protagonist.

The basic idea of the game is to find 8 people and kill each of them in a single day in order to break the loop, so you spend much of your game finding information about the targets and/or setting them up to be near other targets in order to break the loop in your limited not bad in execution, but some of the tasks the game sends you on can feel rather monotonous after you've done very similar things shortly before. The story is okay. Colt is an excellent protagonist, but he's the only character I could say that I liked without reservation. The ending itself is solid albeit quite abrupt.

Gameplay itself is the highlight. mixing upgrades(or trinkets) with guns and Colt can lead to some fun customizability, and it's fun to see what kind of loot you can get as you explore. Initially, I was confused on whether the game was supposed to be a roguelike in a similar vein as something like Returnal or Hades. It distinctly is not. It has similar concepts, but it's very easy to carry progression, and there is always a "new" task to be doing even if you are retreading previously explored locations.

All in all, the game is a good time, and I'd say to give it a try, but maybe not at full price personally.
