**SOME SPOILER WARNINGS FOR DEATHLOOP**
Finished Deathloop finally. And from what I played. I very much enjoyed it. In the beginning I couldn't get much into it because I didn't like the time looping mechanic. But once I started killing the other Visionaries and taking their slabs for myself and upgrading those slabs. I started to get into the game and dig it.
I found most of the slabs pretty useless, I mainly stuck with Cloak and the blinking one. But the others I didn't really bother with outside of just testing them once. I liked the single shot rifle and cloaking was the best results for me and then the single shot rifle that explodes on impact. I also liked the aesthetics to the game and I liked Colt a lot.

My biggest complaint about the game though was the ending, It was really disappointing and easily the weakest part of it. I chose to break the loop by killing Julianna and Colt. But I didn't really feel anything from choosing it outside of thinking. "Huh? that's it I guess,".
Overall I did love my time with it and despite the slow start, I'm glad I stuck with it to the end and If I did finish it last year. It would've easily been my game of the year for 2021 if not easily in one of the top 3 games of last year for me.

This is a copy and paste from the Metro 2033 Redux review.

It is hard for me to write this as i absolutely adore and love the Metro series but its something that i should write,

The games are great and fun with a great story line. But with how Koch media/Deepsilver have acted over suddenly pulling Metro Exodus away from Steam and moving it to the Epic Store is horrendous. I would understand if it were announced for the Epic store and didn't have a Steam page and wasn't avaliable to pre order for so long. But with Koch Media/Deepsilver pulling it from the steam store only a couple of weeks out from launch is a just shady a crud move to do and does nothing but harm to the consumers. Especially with it being a years exclusive to the Epic store and we know how well that worked for Rise of the Tomb Raider of the Xbox One.
