No other game has been able to absorb me into the world the developers created. The massive amount of thought that went into the world, characters and state of the galaxy is genius and I can't think of another game that has spurred such a rich lore. That being said, the gameplay threatens to rip the player out of that dreamlike escapism. The combat and Mako (that damned Mako) are the game's worst qualities and can become a slight bore from time to time. Yet, the rich plot pulls you back right before the game's flaws affect your experience. Give the game a chance and you'll no doubt see the wonders of one of the greatest worlds created not just in games, but in media as a whole!
