An uniquely bizarre, technically and visually stunning, tense and fun, and ultimately rewarding experience.

This is Hideo Kojima unchained, for better or worse.

While there were some minor, mildly annoying things -like some UI animations taking too long and otherwise requiring too many inputs to skip, and some heavy handed and a bit shallow dialogues and exposition- the excellency and depth of the gameplay, the rewarding asynchronous social networking mechanics, and a engaging group of characters makes the whole thing so brilliant it outshines any of those minor issues.

One of my favourite games of this generation. I'm so glad such a different and experimental game exists on the high-calibre, Triple-A level.
