By far the peak of action-adventure-linear-story-campaign thingies. It's excellently paced in terms of gameplay, story, exploration, etc. Furthermore, it proves the age old false dichotomy of "do you want good story or good gameplay?" is so deeply wrong it's unbelievable. Excellent fucking experience. Almost no complaints.

Beaten it so thoroughly so many times that I don't even know what to say about it anymore. Some of the best world design probably ever with a perfectly well balanced core moveset that leads to many excellent areas, platforming, combat, anything. Really just lays down the fundamentals as tightly as possible and runs with it, exploring every little corner of every little idea it has. Wonderful.
