At first at was overwhelming and very complicated up to the point of frustration where I almost gave up on the game However, after reading some reviews I decided to give it another shot - and I'm very glad I did Once I got the hang of it I became addicted and played for over 130 hours Fantastic landscapes, great story and the best part is the fact that every mission can be completed in several different ways that have their own consequences You can really get creative and use your logic to come to interesting solutions The save mechanism is a bit hard to swallow though - it does make each decision you make "count" In conclusion - after you get used to it, it becomes one of the best games I ever played
