One of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen/played -- had me in tears a few times -- very touching! Masterclass in video game narrative, balance, action and perfection.

Pros
+ An engaging and powerful story that explores themes such as grief, parenthood, vengeance, trust (or lack thereof), and more.
+ Intuitive combat that is endlessly fun and relatively simple to master.
+ Stunning visuals and sound design that only enhance the wonderful experience. Some of the most gorgeous environments I’ve ever
As good as video game storytelling gets. I've never cared as much about a story and its characters in a video game than I have here, it's a masterpiece. The only thing holding it back from a 5/5 is the lack of enemy and boss variety.
Love the story and gameplay. And I even like Artreus. Fighting is so much fun
One of the best games I've ever played. Both story and gameplay are simply amazing and the axe is the best feeling melee weapon I've ever used in a video game.
Gameplay: GREAT.
Story: GREAT.
Graphic: AWESOME.
Voice Acting: AWESOME.
