It's about as good as video game storytelling has been up until this point.
Even if you don't like the direction they took the characters or the story in general, this game is still an absolute masterpiece and deserves to be experienced.
The characters, the story, the music, the audio, the graphics, the animation, the details are all 10 / 10
The game play is really solid, and I greatly enjoy the gritty stealth combat, but its not ground breaking in the same way the rest of the elements are.
Overall, love it or hate it, this game is amazing and I feel very lucky that I got to play it.
