I don't like using the phrase "greater than the sum of its parts". It's one of your typical "sounds smart but has literally no substance" descriptors that are way too popular in reviews. But I truly feel like the sheer scale of this work completely outweighs the fact that it is in no way perfect - hell, I am not sure there is even one aspect of the game that I could say is perfect. It just doesn't matter in the slightest - all of the moving elements work so well together, and have clearly so much work and passion behind them that a project of such collosal scale, scale that had absolutely no right to work at all... works perfectly.

It is incredible. Just an absolutely unforgettable experience.
