One of the most visually impressive games ever made. Every hill you crest in the open world leads to another jaw dropping vista -- and the more focused story scenes are beautifully constructed too.
The rest of the game? Pretty damn excellent also!
The controller definitely feels like it is overstuffed and struggling to contain everything this game wants to do -- I maybe could have lived with a mechanic or two being cut. But the individual parts are all just so satisfying to use. Great combat, fun stealth with lots of tools to experiment with, and some nice quality of life innovations in the open world navigation.
The story is a surprise hit. While it won't surprise you too often, the writing is solid, especially for the side characters, and really excellent voice acting across the board.
