There are very few games that I would consider to be literary, but this is a happy exception. It's Star Wars, so there are still laser fights and space shenanigans (and a psychotic wookiee, because obviously), but underlying it is a story that has just as much to do with how we live in our world as it does with a galaxy far, far away. It's one of those games that you'll keep thinking about for years afterwards, and it only gets better with extra playthroughs. That said, this game greatly benefits from the Sith Lords Restored Content mod, and I would recommend even new players install it. It fixes certain plot holes and (like the name suggests) restores a lot of detail that Obsidian was forced to cut when Lucas Arts decided to release the game prematurely. Finally, if you are not someone who cares a lot about story, you may well be disappointed by this game. It's not as well-balanced as the first, and while there are many features that are a vast improvement over the first game (the alignment system, party members that change with gender and alignment, the crafting system), KotoR 2 simply isn't as polished. If you do care about story, however, if you do like philosophy in your games, and if you do love Star Wars but want to see the implications of that universe explored more, then this is one of the best games you'll ever play.
