I didn't understand DEATHLOOP's success at launch — Now that I've finally played on Xbox, I get it

Deathloop.

Toward the end of 2021, the team at Arkane Studios most known for their work on the incredible, award-winning Dishonored franchise released their latest game: DEATHLOOP. It released exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC shortly after its publisher Bethesda Softworks officially joined the Xbox family, and was met with critical acclaim. In December, it was even nominated for Game of the Year 2021, losing out to It Takes Two.

I... Didn't quite understand its success, though. While I appreciated how much other people were enjoying the game, nothing that I had seen or heard of DEATHLOOP really hooked me at the time. I've finally played it, though, and I can fully admit that I was wrong. DEATHLOOP is amazing.
