got bored at first, gave it another chance years later, couldn't sop playing until I finished it. I can see why everyone loved this (especially for the time it was released)
Atmospheric masterpiece. One of my all time fav games. Exploration, atmosphere, visuals, music and combat are all S tier. Play it if you haven't already.
It's been 10 years since i first played it. And it hasn't aged a day since. Simply put, it's a Masterpiece and everybody should play this game. One of the greatest Games ever made.
