I just got the platinum and I'll be very surprised if anything else beats this as my GotY. I feel a little bit lost and sad now there's nothing else to do, which is always a sign of a good game. The story and lore was great and I loved how finding a collectible actually felt like a reward instead of just shit you pick up because the game wants you to.
Combat was awesome and I thought it was really well balanced, making the gun and powers both essential. I really enjoyed how liberally you could use the powers; there was enough of a cooldown that meant you had to alternate with your gun, but it was generous enough that your powers were a major part of the combat. And it was challenging enough to be satisfying without being frustrating. I even enjoyed the bosses, which are usually my least favourite part of a game, and I was very proud that I managed to kill Mr Tommasi on my third try.
Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the expansions because I really want more of this game.
