This game was such an emotional roller coaster and really had me thinking about the repercussions of our actions, how anger/hate can fuel and eventually destroy a person. How to forgive and let go and so much more. Such a great story, dark story but really great. I was also really impressed on how well they were able to, at times, build this tension in the fights where you think to yourself..."oh man, am I going to make it out of here?" lol Game wise I enjoyed the new mechanics added to the game. I loved how well they did the transitions between a cut scene to when you are back in control of the game, the little extras of animation. How each character had different tics, how NPC's put names to the random people you are fighting, the weapon modification animations and so much more. All those attention to details made this game, for me, a wonderful (yet gut wrenching) ride. The sound is amazing, the overall visuals of the locations were beautiful. The voice acting was exceptional. I loved how this was really a bookend to the first game showing how there are more than one side to all stories and to take an honest look at yourself and what you are doing. Its not often a game makes you want to sit down and parse what happened but this is one of them. Really well done.
