I only bought this game because it kept coming up because one of my friends wrote a review recommending this game. The only thing his review said was "Just play it." Nothing else. I didn't know what to expect when I bought or started playing this game. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I know my steam profile says I have only played this game for 3 hours, but that is because I layed this game offline when I was at my grandparents' cabin in the Adirondack Mountians. There wasn't any internet. But I played it there for 12 hours straight. My first playthrough, I was just so amazed. I was awestruck. The gameplay mechanics where you are not Niko put me off at first, but I kept playing, and going into documents to get codes and the other stuff like that (I would into more detail but I don't want to give away spoilers) was just a concept that I never thought about. It was implemented perfectly. The story is so rich. The ending of my first and my second playthrough both made me cry. I also cried at other points in this game. It is so gripping, even though technically aren't Niko, I felt I was on the journey with him. The 4th wall breaks just immersed me more. I just loved the characters. I could not recommend buying this game any more than I already have. It is not only a game, but an expierence. I'm going to wait a while to have another go at this game, just so I can forget just enough about the game to make expierencing the game again that much better. This is by far one of the best games I have ever played, actually it is by far my favorite game ever. Just buy it and play it for yourself. I have fallen in love with this game. WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS? BUY THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME ALREADY!
