Absolutely brilliant and currently my favorite game of all-time, and I've been gaming for a long time (don't want to give away my age by specifying years...) The creativity displayed in the art design of this game are like nothing I have ever seen, and the imagination of the developers who created this world provided completely mind-blowing experiences for me. Maybe I'm biased because I got my college degree in Art History, but I consider this game a masterpiece because of the art and spectacular visuals. But that's not all. The weapons and customization aspects of the game are extremely fun to play around with, and the soviet backdrop provide great nostalgia to history buffs and those who remember the Soviet era. I also want to address the comparisons with Bioshock. In my opinion, this game is NOT at all like Bioshock. It feels more like a Fallout game. If you didn't like Bioshock, don't let that put you off from playing this game. I absolutely cannot wait to play this game again and highly, highly recommend it to anyone interested in fun shooters with high levels of build customization. Definitely the most underrated game of the year.
