I was really sceptical at first.

I knew what this was going to be yet didn't quite know what the game was actually about. I know that might sound strange and it kinda is, but I'm glad I got passed my fear of the minor things I had known would break me(emotionally) in this game and actually played it.

The story, characters, setting, mystery, drama, action, mini-games, interactions, knowledge and so much more are worth more than most Triple A titles nowadays in my opinion and deserves every ounce of respect it got from critics. I laughed, I cried, I was shocked and I was scared. All throughout this entire, long journey that wasn't actually all that long.

The game made me care what was going to happen, made me hate myself each time I chose something that panned out like I didn't want to, made me weigh my options heavily and in the end, made me simply feel good about the choices I had made correctly in my own opinion.

It has some replayability due to the branching path, so you'll be able to catch things you didn's the next time around.

My personal tip. Check out the entire town each day before continuing with one of the other main characters. Each side character has a story to tell, many objects do as well.
