One of the best first person shooters ive ever played.


people like to throw around the word overrated at this game, usually they seem to think if a game isn't as good as another in their eyes it's apparently overrated, but I found this to be one of the best games I've ever played, the world although linesr felt so vast and alive, the story and game were very clever and well crafted. The puzzles were unique, the set pieces especially so. Each stage introduced something new to keep the momentum going. A couple areas seemed to stretch on far but it had been by design, if you drove the highway in a couple of minutes the world would feel smal, and remind you that it's a video game, but when it stretches so far it begins to feel more real, and you become a part of the world. It can be annoying hearing people call something overrated because it's critically acclaimed. Most of all what I appreciate is the ability to play a game that is complete. In a world of buggy, unfinished, unpolished and downright lazy games being released so often playing through this reminded me that whem you care about something, and you actually work to complete it and put effort into crafting it, you can get something beautiful.
