Today, the game won five out of five game awards, including the award for the best game of the year as well as wins in a number of other nominees. It seems to speak for itself, if you ask me. Has some pros: This is the most important game of the year, and it doesn't matter what anyone says about it. The story immediately plunges you into the middle of the action, putting you in the shoes of the characters and making you concerned about them. 30 hours have passed, and the game will eventually give you a mission that you willfully choose not to execute; but, the story dictates that you will have no other option. Extremely intricate storyline, high levels of feeling throughout. Everything else is going swimmingly. Some cons: The majority of the negative rankings can be attributed to the orientation of the characters and several twists in the plot. But, I do not share their viewpoint. If you are not too principled with regards to a few of the intricacies of the storyline, and for you the most important thing is the story, gameplay, graphics, and soundtrack, then there will be no deficiencies.
