The distilment of the immersive sim to its barebone essentials, and yet, AND YET, it works wonderfully well. I find it absolutely fascinating how the roguelike trend has unearthed further potential from myriads of game genres, and this one right here has to be one of the very best. Deathloop fails quite a bit in the narrative department -- its tone is all over the place, none of the characters feels the least bit likable, and it ends with a bit of a wet fart --, but holy shit, is it enjoyable to fuck with.
