Rare game that made me forget I was in a game and fully empathized with the characters. Normally I do "gamey" stuff to mess with AI or character animations, here I was totally absorbed in the world and atmosphere making the tension real and the story have weight. What it does well, it does better than any game I have ever played.

Obviously there will never be a work of art that everyone loves or agrees on. We come from different backgrounds so part of our experience is shaped by that. Why do I find a joke funny you do not or why do I not cry when you do? We will never be able to have a fully "objective" view of something and its quality. Something has qualities or traits and we have views if those are positive or negative. For example I tend to dislike most open world games as leads to bland level design, others adore them for the sense of freedom. Neither is right, but it is good to know our own prejudices in regards to the characteristics a work possesses.
