I won't go into why I love this game because the reasons are stated by so many others who have reviewed it. I will say that I really struggle to enjoy games usually, and it takes a lot for me to get properly invested in a game. In terms of games I have put a lot of time into, I can count them on one hand probably. The Sims franchise, Bioshock Infinite, Fable II, that's kind of it really besides this. This is one of those games for me that I'll come back to over and over again I'm sure. It's just so fun and doesn't take itself too seriously which I love. I think this aspect is missing from sooo many games that are really successful but just way too serious and (in my opinion) really boring. This takes me back to how games used to feel when I was a kid, just pure joy. The way it's put together is excellent, the world is stunning, loads to explore, and you can find a great balance between a real challenge and a really chilled explorative open world game. There are so many elements put into this, I feel like there's something for everyone. Basically I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone.
