I've been gaming for over 40 years. Every once in awhile a game comes along that breaks boundaries or sets a new precedent. This is one of those games. An absolute must play. If you're unsure if you'll like the combat system, IT DOES NOT MATTER. Play it anyway. This game is basically a 'choose your own adventure' movie. Not only have they thought of every consequence to nearly every decision, they motion capped and voice acted the results. Just play it.
