This is more than just a game. This is an unforgettable experience from start to finish. When I first saw the E3 2012 demo, I was immediately captivated by how real the in-game mechanics looked. A year later, I bought the Limited Edition version on PS3 and was once again blown away by the prologue and how it really felt like you were participating in an epic film. I was able to beat it in a couple of days because I just couldn't put it down. It was so good. When the remastered edition came out on PS4, I got it once again and beat it a few times. Finally, when the remake was announced on PC, I knew I had to get it again because that's how much I love this game. I thought the game was already stunning on PS3, but the improved graphics for the remake makes it hard to go back to the original. Every square inch of the remake is so beautiful. The artists did such an amazing job. As far as the controls go, I was delighted to see that it has PS5 Dualsense support, which along with the upgraded visuals, makes the revisit feel fresh and exciting again. There is tons of replay value in the combat system. You can strategize every encounter by playing it stealthily or engaging in a firefight. You can really feel the power the impact with every gun, and taking down enemies feels very satisfying. Melee combat feels intense, and makes you feel like you're in a life or death situation each time. As far as the characters go, I felt very connected with them, and there were moments when I teared up, especially during the prologue. The actors did an amazing job of making the characters come to life. Overall, this is without a doubt one of the absolute greatest games I've ever played.
