Deathloop is an odd game, many praise the game as a masterpiece but an equal amount disagree so who's right?

The Scottish Opinion Episode 43 - Deathloop Review (PS5)

Arkane Studios return with Deathloop where you play as Colt Vahn stuck in a Deathloop tasked with taking out the visionaries to end the loop.

    I laughed at the "Deathloop" joke at the start :)

    Deathloop is by far my favorite fresh IP of 2021. Several of weeks ago I got all achievements for Deathloop making it my twelfth game of my thirteen games on Steam to set foot on my Perfect Games list. Deathloop is a 9 out of 10 for me with the 10 point giving by Gamespot and IGN cut away by me with the lack of enemy variety thus the bosses in the visionaries being nothing more than slightly tougher versions of the rest of the enemies in the eternalists! The game's weak AI makes Cyberpunk 2077's AI look like Far Cry 3's AI. I agree with Julianna's gameplay load times and server findings frustratingly long yet fun when you do get the chances to play her while invading someone else with their Colt. Me being a completionist of Deathloop I kept playing Julianna the one night with the game until I got both achievements that involve doing certain tasks while playing as her. I did both tasks with Julianna and got both achievements for doing so during the same invasion out of what I believe might as well bee pure luck! Amazing review btw!

    You don't just get a to-do list because the game doesn't try to just feed all the information to you like that. You progress on leads and open new ones only when you receive a piece of information that unveils something related. So it's totally player's fault if the player misses the information in the first place. That's why the game records everything in the menus and even compresses it to a few sentences because only a handful of players are willing to write new information down in a notepad to then connect all the dots. The thing with your gun not working might be a bug, but that might also be a troll trinket that you could've accidentally equiped. Whenever you hit a target, you don't need to reload, but whence you've missed, you can't shoot till the end of the run. I can understand other complaints, though it seems like Arkane is working towards fixing it. They've released "Game Update 1" and "1" suggests they have plans to make the game better. This one has already had a bunch of major updates.
