Deathloop is a culmination of the immersive sim genre and its mechanics as storytelling and world-building devices, a work that Arkane had been building up to from Dishonored to Prey: Mooncrash.

Unfortunately, along the way it also lets go of some details that make the genre so interesting in the first place. Deathloop has lower complexity and variety compared to their previous games, which makes it less replayable and not as interesting from a gameplay perspective.

It's still a great, stylish game that solidifies Arkane as one of the best working studios today, and it introduces a multiplayer element that I hope makes a come back in the future.
