I feel a little personally offended at some of the poorer reviews of this game, and I think that's because the game itself resonated with me. It's not a perfect game, but I think four stars are well-deserved. Maybe the difference between myself and some other reviewers is I had no expecations playing this game. In fact, if anything, I would say I had pretty low ones considering this was my first free game from Epic Games. The gameplay was new to me and no it's not like it's always the most exciting, but it's reasonably satisfying. The real reason to play this game of course is the story and the emotion. The actual look of the game is nothing to snub your nose at either. They really amped it up for the sequel I think because it's almost a character itself in the story at times. This game gives you puzzles, action, suspense, a new female lead anyone could get behind, heart-warming and also heart-breaking moments, some collectibles for those that like to explore, and maybe most of all, it gave me something to think about. Long after I stopped playing. This is a game that gives you a reason to play and I think it's worth anyone's time. Seriously. Just be prepared to jump into the sequel once this one hooks you.
