This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. Deeply immersive, and stunningly detailed. This has gotta be one of the most elaborate games I've played in my entire life. If you have the proper hardware in your pc to really crank the settings it's damn near photo-realistic. Especially the animation for water it's incredible. The biggest downside I can come up with is this isn't the kind of game you can pick up, play for 20 minutes, and then set down again. I won't even fire it up if I don't have at least like 3 hours to sink into it in one sitting. I've probably played it for 25 or so hours since I started and I've gotten maybe 30% total completion. One of those games I would absolutely recommend that everyone try at some point. It's amazing!
