I really wanted to like deathloop. Two bipoc main characters, an interesting premise revolving around time looping, and a creepy mystery to solve. However, in execution, Deathnote just falls extremely flat.
The weapons aren't fun, and neither is the combat.
The world doesn't look interesting. It's just like any other FPS made in the samey engine.
The voice acting and dialogue is atrocious.
For a game that wants you to keep playing to discover the story and all the gameplay has to offer, both are executed so poorly and are so shallow that you've seen everything it has to offer in an hour or less.
If this game had been given a bit more care and attention and had someone better behind the direction, it may actually have been one of the best releases of the year. But we don't have that game. We have this game. And it's a hard pass.

****note on my ratings:
half ⭐: hot trash garbage
⭐: below average, needs work
⭐⭐: average
⭐⭐⭐: pretty good
⭐⭐⭐⭐: excellent
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: all time favourite
half star ratings between those mean it's slightly better or worse than stated in this list.
