The greatest game of all time. Every aspect is perfect. The graphics are perfect and look great for a 2001 PS2 game, the voice acting and writing is great for a Japanese game of its time. The gameplay is relatively linear with a few explorative segments but still feels open with the tools you are given to experiment and mess around with the really great enemy AI. Open world AAA devs take note. THIS is how you put freedom in a game without making it bloated and spread out over a mediocre world map. The story is literally the greatest and most meaningful and relevant story in a video game to date. every twist is delivered with perfection and will leave you in shock. The final twist is one of the most shocking and eerie moments in video games, leaving you trying to figure out what exactly happened. I would reccomend reading the script for what you just played after each session to get in your brain what just happened and who betrayed who. it greatly improved my enjoyment of the game. 10/10. My favorite game of all time.
