Hands down the best game I've ever played. I went in entirely blind, which I'm very grateful for in hindsight.
The combat is incredibly fun... difficult early in the game but the more you play, the more you unlock and the more you learn, the easier it becomes. I am having trouble with Altered Objects, but I just have to keep going at it.
The playthrough of the Ashtray Maze is probably my favourite part of a video game ever, so whoever designed that needs all the praise in the world. I can't recommend this game enough to players who have never heard of it. I'm so excited to play through again and again as I doubt it'll ever get boring. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Bravo, Remedy.
