I'm so disappointed to abandon this but It just didn't hook me.
The gameplay and mechanics are really fun. I just didn't get anything from the plot. I didn't care about any of the characters and didn't care about the timeloop really, I felt like too much piled up and I had no desire to piece it together and figure out what it was all about.

I hardly ever abandon games. Maybe I will come back to this some time but who knows.

There was also a weird bug that caused the game to get stuck in the menu with no way to fix it. It happened once to myself and twice to my partner, each resulting in a minimum of 30 minutes gameplay being completely lost. Turns out the bug has been in the game since launch. Something like that should be fixed much faster.

With the gameplay being really fun and enjoyable, the one thing Deathloop has done is made me want to try a different Arkane game.

I just completed and posted my own two-star review. I entertained abandoning it too. My advice to you. Don't go back to it. It never does come together in any interesting way. And the bugs will plague you until the moment the credits roll. Not worth your time.
