this game got a lot of flack, and after years of trying to enjoy it, giving it the benefit of the doubt again and again... it deserves all that flack. it falls so flat, is incredibly irritating, and never once drew me into its world. it only ever bored me no matter how much patience i gave it. if you're looking at this game, hoping it'll be the fun, vast, open world experience you've been craving.... keep looking.

absolutely friggin fantastic. bittersweet, heartwarming, with just enough angst to make it feel real. it'll touch your heart.
