It's constantly being praised as one of the most underrated games of the year simply due to it's gameplay. The story makes the whole adventure worth while. Honestly, it is a renter. The multiplayer is kind of bland from what I heard. I was way psyched for the game because I did like the demo and the story being praised as "The best story in a game since BioShock" was definitely peaking my interests considering BioShock is my favorite game of all time.
The story choices are neat and you don't think about them as choices (as long your soul is untainted by such harrowing considerations, such as mine). I mean a few are quite blatant but there are some points where you kind of just act. Those points are oddly the areas everyone should focus on the most because how you respond to those specific situations is YOUR own primal instinct. And that is always a good thing to learn about yourself. When it comes down to the grit, what are you going to do without thinking? What will be your reflexive reaction? I loved that about the game.
The ending was great, and it's funny because every person to play the game and has been in the military for at least 2+ years, has been able to predict the ending. For me? I had no clue. I was lead on just as Walker was. I was so convinced. Then bam. It makes you think about what you're naturally paying attention to.
The one thing that's hard to do with most people in these kinds of games is trying to ignore any possible bias or moral bias. You kind of have to forget that it's a game and put yourself in the character's shoes if you want to see what you're really like inside. That's the hardest part, but if you can do that, this game will definitely be a great way to see inside yourself.
Or you could just play Day Z alone and see how you'd react in similar circumstances lol.
