This is hands down the most beautiful and breathtaking game I have ever played. I just beat it tonight for the first time since I heard of it in 2019 and bought it in 2020. I have a list of some of my all-time favourite games but let me tell you that this one skyrocketed to number 1. It's pretty easy to shrug something off and to procrastinate but do not with this game, even if it may not be your cup of tea it is absolutely worth playing. And that's rare for me to say because I'm typically very respectful of what genres people enjoy and believe people should just do what makes them happy. But in this rare instance I think any person who comes across this technical/spectacle marvel of a game should give it a try and recommend it to others. I now compare it to and describe it as the video game equivalent of The Iron Giant, both amazing but deserve way more attention, recognition, and love that they so very much deserve. And I say this with 100% serious intent that this game has changed my outlook on life and sparked something inside of me, I start a new job tomorrow and I was so anxious but I couldn't have picked a better time to finish this game. Any anxiety and worries I had about the past, present, and future are at ease and amazingly I'm taking deep breaths calmly and I feel happy. But one of the many important points of this game is that happiness and life do not last forever but that is what makes them amazing. This peace and happiness I feel won't last forever, but I'll appreciate it in this moment and just know that nothing is going to last forever. Sadly but also incredibly this game is a one time experience (unless you know how to erase your memory) because there are no quest markers you just explore and learn and your knowledge is what makes you progress. Once you have explored and learn how to beat the game that is it, there isn't really any replay value besides achievements (if you care about that). I don't know really what else to say but PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE.
