This is a vision fully realized at its highest form. Like David Lynch meets Kojima. Thus far to its release, it is the only thing that's truly WOW'd me as a PS5/Series X generation game. The art, direction, the world that it builds, it wraps multiple forms of media and bends it to fit the universe it's created with an ambitious meta narrative that blew me away. Balancing the protagonists was a great way to break up the world, and the combat is leagues ahead of its predecessor, as could be expected. This is truly a work of art, it's what so many AAA games are trying to be. A blend of cinema with gaming that does not sacrifice its gameplay or integrity to integrate the two.
