I'd be hard pressed to think of a game in recent memory that has made me as immersed as this. I figured I'd pick this up and play it a bit, but 180ish hours later (so far), this game destroyed any expectations I had of it.

I hadn't played any of Larian's previous games, but I'm going to have to remedy that pretty soon. It's rare that I play a game that when I'm not playing it, I'm either thinking about it, or watch videos about it. While I was playing it, though I was always enjoying what was happening, I was always wondering how things would go if I played something a little bit differently, which always had me thinking of a couple of playthroughs I want to do of it.

All of the companions are great, and I was always happy whenever I had a new interaction with them , or had idle banter between them while traveling. I liked most of their stories, and one of the only disappointments I had was that one of the characters who was with me almost the entire time didn't really seem to get an ending. The score and music of the game are also fantastic. I was always impressed with how well the score fit whatever scenario I was in, and some of the songs made for some of my favorite moments in recent gaming memory, possibly ever.

Easy recommendation from me.
