#4.5. Final Fantasy XVI
Okay okay I haven't beaten this yet (hence the 4.5 placement), but it's pretty damn good so far! It gets off to a slightly slow start, and there are a LOT of cutscenes, but I'm enjoying the story, and the combat is ultra crisp. I like how the game keeps introducing new tools to use in combat just as you have had enough time to really utilize the last tool enough. It keeps things interesting without overloading you with new mechanics. If it keeps this quality up through the end, then it would be higher on this list.

After finishing FFXVI, I cannot decide whether it would still be right above Deathloop, or if I would move it below Deathloop.

Great combat, some fantastic boss fights, mostly good story, fantastic visuals, good music, bad repetitive side quests, and a messy ending (although not an unsatisfying ending, just messy). Starts off a tad slow, then blossoms into a wonderful game, but slowly falls apart a bit as it goes on.

I think FFXVI is going to stick with me more than Deathloop, but I would say Deathloop is less flawed. So I'll go with the copout answer and say they're tied.
