This game is fascinating to me because of the range of reactions I've seen from players. Those who like it love it so much they call it a masterpiece, while those who don't like it really hate it.
It's also one of the only games I can think of which message (or at least what I personally interpret its message to be) gets less and less impactful the more people praise it. I feel like it only works if you go in blind and only expect a standard shooter, and really suffers from its reputation as a consequence. Expecting a fun shooter and getting this whole thing was a unique experience to me, while a friend of mine that played it expecting to find the experience he read about was super disappointed and hated it.
A weird game indeed, but I'm so glad it exists
Going in blind is the best. Unfortunately, it's probably pretty difficult to do, since spoilers are extremely rampant. I don't even know how I managed to do it. But it really is magical if you go in blind.
