The Only thing separating me from giving an 10/10 to this game is the fact it sells you the idea that your decisions matter, even when you are not deliberately choosing between options (like in the "don't kill nobody" missions), and pull some Silent Hill type of multiple endings, but deliver an absolutely straight forward and linear story where your choices don't matter at all (besides dying earlier and missing content and having an optional secret boss)

I also, beside understanding the appeal metaphorically and aesthetically, think the mask guys seem out of tone and misplaced, their choice and the the way they do what they do. I understand this game is deliberately not answering the questions of its narrative, and lefting a lot of room to mystery, and im ok with that. But all the other mysteries seem to have an conceptual cohesion with the general aesthetics and overall points of the narratives, and the masked guys come as out of the tone of the narrative and the concepts that it presents (besides all the death alegories and the ethical question they pose, but i'm talking more about them being mystical beings that interfer in an non mundane way)

Besides that, this game is superb in everything.
