Beautiful. Tragic. Powerful. Horrifying. It will stick with you. The story expands organically from the first, with characters finding fitting destinations at the conclusions of their harrowing journeys. It is a tale of vengeance and consequence, of loss and redemption. And the perspective shifts are some of the most profound experiments in empathy I've ever encountered. It is cinematic perfection in interactive narrative form.
Virtually no honest review calls this anything other than a masterpiece. Every other review almost always cites some bigoted reason for downrating this game. Don't let this vacuous hatred spoil a once in a generation creative force.
