Finished the game last night. And man what an amazing game this was. The whole loop mechanism is an astounding piece of art and I dont think I have played anything of this sort before. I think its pretty hard to explain it and i guess that is why the messaging of this game (at least for me) was all over the place. But once I spent a couple of hours with the game, it was then that I actually started to grasp it. It's such a creative concept, something you rarely get to see these days.
Apart from a minor AI issues and story shortcomings, this was an amazing and if you are a fan of Arkane, particularly Dishonored and the fantastic Prey, they you owe it to yourself to give this game a try. It may feel like you are playing another dishonored or Prey but it really is uniquely different from them at the same time as well.
