It's more likely than you think.

As my first decree as Elden Lord we will be lowering taxes, reinvesting in infrastructure, clearing Caelid of the Scarlet Rot, unionizing the Demi-Humans, and then providing healthcare for all in the form of one free Flask of Crimson Tears per citizen.

Breathtaking.

Edit: 165 hours later, still pretty good.

A wonderfully well-crafted experience. The story and lore of the game are fascinating, and the gameplay is an excellent exercise in self-improvement, perseverance, and incremental progression. You get a real sense of connection to the characters, and to all of the fellow players who help you along the way.

Early game can be brutal, delivering through enemy territory, with no equipment, no shelter, across jagged rocky terrain, all the while being chased by ghosts. The game drip feeds you a large variety of new tools, gear, weapons, and vehicles to help you overcome obstacles in the world and overcome the world itself. The strategy is all in managing encumbrance and preparing the right equipment to complete your deliveries.

You will spend time building up infrastructure in areas to help you navigate and avoid hazards, maintaining old infrastructure, creating paths that make traversal more easy, and clearing out bandit camps, all to deliver an old man 500 pairs of high-performance underpants.

The game is visually stunning. There are some great moments of solitude while walking around alone in the beautifully-crafted world. Cutscenes are very cinematic and I never felt bored watching them.

You can pee on ghosts and throw your poop at terrorists. 10/10.

An absolute must-play for any Half-Life fan.

The best Cold War Simulator on the market.

I dig this game.

You ever go to the aquarium and think to yourself "I wish I could dive right in and swim with all the fish, and grab them out of the sea with my bare hands and eat them alive, one by one, sampling all the delicious flavors the ocean has to offer"? Well then this game is for you. It lets you grab, hold, and consume a wide variety of fish and fish-like animals.

I cannot condone the poor treatment of the modding comminity, nor the focus on milking the online community via microtransactions in lieu of actual dlc or updates.

I'm having a toadally great time, and not just a fraction of the time, but all of the time. I'd say at least two times as much fun as I would have expected.
