Lifetime gamer who loves just about every genre (from FPS to RPG), and I recently proclaimed to a friend of mine that this is among the best - and may actually be the best - game that I have ever played. It's for sure the best one I've played in awhile.
From graphics to gameplay to storyline to side quests, this game is just totally different (in a good way). For those who have played it, the scene where you play as Alan and run through the big TV screen rock montage? Unbelievable.
It feels like you are playing True Detective season 1 in a console.
I'm nearing the end and bummed. Highly recommend you give this a shot.
