I simply can't understand all the disappointed low reviews. I imagine it's people who don't like to think and simply want to point and shoot.
This game is a master class of storytelling, character creation, paradigm shifting... all wrapped in a beautiful shell. No other game had ever made me throw the control away because I simply couldn't decide which character to hurt. And that's the whole point: this game makes us question violence in games and the futility of violence in general as a response to conflict. If nothing else, just for that, it deserves every recognition in the world.
The way it introduces the different characters and makes you realise that your antagonist may be someone else's protagonist, is flawless.
The characters are full of life and truth. They're believable and 3D, not flat archetypes.
I could go on and on. And I genuinely feel sorry for those who feel disappointed by this game. I honestly believe they missed the whole point of it.
10/10.
