This is a game for the fans. It feels like a reward for sticking with the series and GHM for so long with how it hits all the right notes that make these games so very special
It’s aged horribly but I don’t care all that much. It’s in the same boat as Demon’s Souls (2009) for me where the later entries in the series greatly improved upon it, but to me there’s still just something about it that I love.
This game really feels like it’s outside of Sony’s current comfort zone and I mean that in the best way possible. Hopefully the success of this will make Sony realize that they can stop playing it safe and release more than just third person cinematic blockbuster games
