I have been meaning to play this game for a long time now and I think that this is one of the best gaming experiences one can have. the game is only 6 ish hours but it is pure bliss the whole way through. to the gameplay to the soundtrack to the dynamic between Niko and the player it is perfect. the art style of this is perfect not one complaint. when it comes to the gameplay side of things, simply, I've never been a big puzzle guy but if more games like this are out there maybe I am now it had me use my brain and I like that. my only complaint is that the game is rather short but it kinda works in its favor it is short deep and charming. I am also aware that I'm very late to this game I just never got around to playing it and I'm very thankful I did. (edit: i just finished the true ending i want to cry 11/10 :os_niko: ) (edit 2: i just got the Niko plush and i love it so much) (edit 3: after letting this game exist in my brain rent free for 8 months i can safely say this might just be the best game experience ive had ever and i dont think its going to get better than this)

So after 2 years of me playing this game for the first time, I finally got to fully enjoy it again. I'll start off by saying that I had doubts that this game was as great as I said it was, ya know after some time you start to question your opinions and whatnot. After replaying this game again I can fully say with 100% certainty i was not wrong with my first impressions this is the greatest game I've ever played in my life. Even though I knew what happened in the game it still hit just as hard, and tears were shed. Hearts were shattered. And most importantly i was wrong about my doubts. To end off this short writing of my thoughts, this is still and will continue to be the best game I've ever played and I will continue to be a part of the community for as long as I can.
