Not reading through any comments as I don't want any chance of spoilers as only a bit of a way into it; but for those thinking about it, just do it, it is incredible.
Ignore the following people:
People that have a problem with "who" they play as, you know the kindof whiny saddos that insist on being a man or simple can't get imersed unless they can give themselves a ponytail.
Any person that says something along the lines of "the forcefed political message ruined it for me" again fucking whiny weirdos moaning about a story written by people the way they want to tell it and not formed through consultation with resentful bedroom dwelling MRA types.
People saying there isn't much game just a loads of graphics. It is a vast improvement on the LOU but even that had lots of "gaming" in it that. The gameplay is brilliant, its just can't be every game you've ever played or style you like. The action is gritty, visercal and realistic, it's also challenging and has variety to it.
It is an incredible acheivement in gaming, no it isn't Bloodborne, it's LOU 2 a game with a narrative worthy of a hollywood blockbuster mapped onto a seriously well considered survival game. It's brilliant and my early suspicions are that it will be, alongwith Bloodborne, the defining game of the PS4 generation.
I can't fathom some of the drek i've read about the game from some people, it is so removed from the experience of playing it. A sensational achievement in gaming and in art itself and should be recognised as such.
