I really really enjoyed this game and am already planning a second playthrough. Though at first, I couldn't get hooked, mainly because the game is heavily story based and it takes a good amount of time for it to get set up, so there is A LOT of cutscenes towards the beginning and I just felt like I was playing through a narrative. But as the plot starts to unfold, this set-up is absolutely justified. This is a very emotional, politically driven story with heartbreak around every corner. I really appreciate how the decisions of the player significantly impact the direction of the story. I for one, can't stand games where they give you a dialogue decision and no matter how you answer, it doesn't change anything. This game absolutely makes you live with the consequences of your actions, making every decision a hard one. The characters are extremely well written, Frederica being on of my personal favorites. The fact that each character plays completely different then one another is so fun to mess around with. There are no identical classes so it gives you an excuse to use each and every character and find what works best for you as the player. Overall, the narration, voice acting, gameplay, and story make this a real treasure of a game, one that I can certainly go back to since there are so many other paths to take.
