Deathloop had me in the beginning with its quirky style and story, Colt’s investigation into Blackreef interesting for a time. Unfortunately the longer I played, the less invested I became. The four areas recycled the entire game, even with the differences between times of day, just became boring—this extends to the lack of variety in enemies as well. I often felt frustrated with the stealth too, detection being overly sensitive even when stationary in full cover.

But I liked Colt and Julianna, their banter silly and a little bit endearing. It’s just a shame the story fizzled out like it did. Like always I finish what I start, so it’s not like I didn’t give it a chance.
