This story will not go the way you think.
It is very unique game, highly recommended.
For people who say they do not like turn-based games, you will VERY most likely like this combat. (i would guess +90% would like this.)
The PARRY,DODGE and GRADIENT mechanics make the combat so intense and engaging. Parry when you get it done, it feels so good.
The combat never really tapers off to boredom, like in some JRPG games can happen.

But most importantly, the story and the message.
This message is extremely IMPORTANT for all humans to learn. Sooner you learn it the better.
The writers did EXTREMELY good job here.

"Grief makes you blind, you only see walls"
The fact that i my self, chose WRONG at the end. Taught me about my walls, and i how i was blind to my own grief in my life.
Extremely important lesson, and it really took my game time to tell it.

You should play this, since you are lucky enough to be alive when it fresh.

edit: I cannot believe these people are from ex-ubisoft, the studio that hates story telling.
I do not believe, there will be anything this year that can do better story telling.
True contender for GOTY, and it looks like it will not even be close.(tough i hope it would be, it would mean more GREAT games for us.)
