I literrally completed the game a couple of hours ago and, having had a singular experience, felt compelled to say a few words about it. The game stands out in so many ways from its contemporaries that - if you truly appreciate the art of video games - you can't pass this up. At the same time, I had a few *really* frustrating experiences along the way that it left a somewhat blemished impression (with some puzzles and some combat encounters). It has to be said that the incredible competence of Ninja Theory's character artists and animators is on full display in this game. Even in 2022 it still stands out as best in class. The music is fantastic and carries you throughout, some of the environments are really designed for effect, and the performance of the main character will affect you emotionally. Combat is quite cinematic and heart pumping, though it is one of the aspects I had some real issues with mid-way through the game. At the end of the day, you may not have the same problems I had with it, and even if you do run into some of the same frustrations it still is an incredible game that ought to be experienced by everyone.
