One of the best action games of all time. Almost everything is perfectly considered. Immense depth combined with one of the most likable protagonists in any game, with music and aesthetics perfectly suited to the vibe.

All that really holds it back from a perfect score is the incomprehensible story, and the few areas where the design considerations falter. There's just a few fights, a few sections, where things are weighted too far toward "cool spectacle for a first playthrough" at the expense of being frustrating or overlong. And some of the QTEs are annoying.
