Like... it's pointless for me to review this with all the others but I will say this shot up to one of the best games I've played in my life and may be the best. It's got so many layers and it is one of those medias that hit everything right - music, gameplay, story.

I'm a big fan of games that really leave an impact in your philosophy. This epic adventure makes everything else seem flat as they can't hope to be as profound. There are things in here that made me really think.

I don't want to repeat things mentioned in other reviews so I will just point out 2 things important to me other than what was mentioned already:

1. I thought the look of the enemies looked kinda goofy (personal taste) but you get used to it and it ends up having a lot of charm. So don't let that turn you off the game. It has so much to offer.

2. A note on the music: I value music greatly in my media and it can have a huge impact on the whole experience. I think of it like a movie with a soundtrack made by Hans Zimmer e.g. "Interstellar". A great movie but having music that is so fit for the movie elevates it to a masterpiece. It is integral! If a piece of media has a mind blowing story but bad music, it will always fall flat imo. Same thing with this game - the music has a lot of variety but it all works so well with what is on screen at any given moment. Not to mention the many variations of songs that dynamically add or remove elements depending on the situation.

I can't stop playing this MASTERPIECE!
