I LOVE the idea of an exploration-focused immersive sim puzzle game, and implementing that idea within the frame of a timeloop is brilliant. But Deathloop couldn't commit to the puzzle elements while disincentivizing immsersive-sim-style gameplay creativity through its systems.

There's one major change that would have been WAY better for me, and a few minor ones: First, get rid of the revive system. One death = start over. However, allow quicksaving. Do it diagetically, as a feature of the hackimajig. Give it a screen where users can manually save + button for quicksave

Alter death animations so there is a "last chance" to quickload, where Colt whips out his hackimajig and presses the button. Within the story, these saves fit perfectly: the anomaly allows for taking snapshots in time which can be restored at any moment, within one day's loop.
