Hands down, one of the best gaming experiences ever. Cohh Carnage wasn't lying when he said that. What really surprised me, was the small, tiny hints all over the game world that put me on a detective mode. I ended up spending over 2x average time to finish the game, because I wanted to play it slow. Weird because I have ADHD and this game calmed my brain down so well. Also, the audiovisual experience was on another level, at least on a PC. I don't usually take screenshots when playing games, but this time I have 100+ images of my favorite scenes. The best looking video game I have ever played. The game had so many unique scenes and characters I'll remember forever... On top of all that, the soundtrack, which was made just for this game, had my favorite songs in 2023. What a year for gamers, because there were multiple 10/10 games. You could pick any of the top game and give them the award.
