Just wow holy fuck man.
I have to start off by saying that aside from Silent Hill 2, this has the best narrative that I think I have ever seen told in a video game ever.
Normally when you are playing are video game you can feel the weight of a cutscene potentially overstaying it's welcome but not here man.
When I finished this game yesterday I watched over an hour of cutscenes and I still could've carried on watching for a long time after that.
All of the actors did a great job here, Mads Mikkelsen, Lea Seydoux and obviously Norman Reedus were the standouts for me. May as well write a letterboxd review for this now because it is basically a film lolz.
The only times I had a bit of a gripe with the game did come from the gameplay as I thought there were sometimes when the BT's did get a fair bit annoying but I still ended up liking the innovative gameplay and mechanics very much. That is basically the same with every game I play really, some moments drive me insane. I mean I am a Silent Hill 4 defender but the sequences on the escalators with the ghosts sticking out of the wall makes me want to quit and never come back.
But other than that, making deliveries in a video game has never been as fun and satisfying as it is here. I mean the gameplay got to me at times but it doesn't take away from how much of a masterpiece I truly think this game is.
It is insane to me how people can suggest that this game is a "walking simulator".
