you know ive been wanting to play this game for a long ass time because of its acclaim and huge influence on video games as a whole

and finally playing it, I understand the acclaim for its story and characters, they are fuckin incredible, but I dont think as a "game" its all that amazing. theres very little actual game for the first few hours and the game itself didnt start to really click with me until around halfway through (minus the fucking fantastic prologue) also wasn't a huge fan of the ending but I think that needs a lot more time for me to think about

but that second half was absolutely incredible with so many moments that had me at the edge of my seat and a mindfuck of a final sequence emotions wise

pretty high 8/10 for now and i think everyone needs to play this at least once in their lives, but I feel like this could have been a tv show (haha) and it would have been just as effective, still tho very happy to have finally played it, it was an incredible experience that I never want to have again, or at least not again for a while
