MASTERPIECE
A spectacular showcase of tight controls, good writing, and visceral atmosphere that will keep you on your toes from start to finish! This sci-fi thriller makes a fantastic example of how video-games can incorperate the best of other mediums of entertainment, while providing an experience that could only be captured through its own. With features that enhance its already fenominal replayability and an expansive universe that just makes you want to dive deeper into it, I cannot reccomend this game enough! If I were to ever give a perfect 10 to a game, it might just be this one! 9.9999999999.../10
