Despite all controversy about its launching and i thought that the publisher's decision was unfair for those Steam customers who were planning to buy it on release, 4A team did a masterpiece. This game is art. They've made something uniquely beautiful from that abandoned post apocalyptic world, and there is a high attention to details, that even with my not so PC Config (GTX750ti, 16GB RAM, i5-6400, Win7 Pro - Medium Settings), i'm enjoying every take.

Finished the first playthrough in more than 40 hours, exploring almost every corner of the maps. Haven't got all collectibles yet, so for sure will play it at least two more times. The story was very touching and emotional, as the characters felt so real with their own story, making you worry for them. Details like playing the guitar, drinking, listening to others' life stories as you develop your own with them (even if they aren't part of the crew - as when you meet some lonely people in this wasteland), puts you into something that surpasses the concept of only a game. 11/10.

It's not a RPG/Open World like Fallout, although its sandbox levels are huge and there is a lot of stuff to do, great missions, lots of exploration, combat with mutants and humans, and else. Also, the game mechanics are great: the crafting system, dirt in weapons, your playstyle influencing the course of the game and much more that grants a high level of immersion and realism. And like the previous games, the story is fantastic.

The DLC is simply amazing, despite being short, adds a new level to the story. And surely the stuff coming in the near future will be outstanding as well.

If you're looking for an story driven immersive shooter with open world characteristics, this is your game. For those complaining about publisher's decisions or are still in doubt if should or not buy it, don't loose time when it comes again for Steam Store! You'll surely enjoy hours on it! 4A team deserves more than congratulations for all their work and care for the series (which i also strongly recommend if you haven't playe it yet! Metro 2033 and Last Light are classics, and two unforgettable experiences), bringing the amazing world of Glukhovsky's novels for us to explore, may they have success and continue to make games like this!
