I really wanted to write a more verbose review of this game, but honestly the feelings I have now that I’ve finished it are mostly incomplete. I’m a bit disappointed. There are a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions, and that’s just not what I thought I was in for when I was gearing up to finish the last leg of this game. That being said, I savored it well. All in all, I really really enjoyed playing Deathloop. For all intents and purposes, Deathloop takes the best mechanics from Dishonored and reimagined them in a way that supplements hours and hours of replayability- I even found myself just practicing levels instead of skipping through time periods that didn’t have any tasks for me to complete. Feeling my ability to play the game increase was a really gratifying experience. I loved learning about the Visionaries and enjoyed them all as characters quite a bit, and saying goodbye to them at the end of this game is admittedly bittersweet. Especially when the ending offers so little closure. I guess I’ll just cross my fingers that the supposed rumors about a new sequel or expansion come true someday. Getting through Deathloop was a blast, but ending it was, unfortunately, its biggest drawback. That being said, I know I’ll probably get back to looping sometime again in the near future, if not just for the trophies.

Charlie is my favorite character. Also the soundtrack is really, really phenomenal.
