A piece of art worth more than any AAA Holywood movie or HBO / Netflix episode. The level of details, storyline, the characters, ambiance, action etc. Everything is beyond expectations. As per the societal questions raised by the scenario and the characters, set aside the fact they might not please the narrow-minded, they present the merit of using the video game media to try to change a bit the mentalities by putting the player in the shoes of unconventional characters. This is what I'm looking for in video-game nowadays. Not only to have fun but to reflect on difficult choices and situations in a way so immersive any movie would never reach. Finally, the amount of work put in this game is tremendous. I was expecting the standard 20hr playing time max to finish it but I was far off. it keeps pushing forward and forward, raising the pressure and involving the player more and more emotionally to reach a climax rarely seen in a game. Obviously not a journey for every audience, but one that will be mostly enjoyed as it should by a (especially) mature audience. Not because of the tension and violent scenes, but because of the questions it raises on life, society and the human condition. Obviously there are some areas of improvement, especially on the gameplay variety / rythm side, but those are for me minor drawbacks considering the overall experience.
