This was the first game to really show me that works of art can still be found in modern video games. That's what this is: a masterpiece. I actually have ideas of trying to meet Fumito Ueda and thanking him personally for bringing this to the world. Maybe that sounds corny, but this game was a fantastic emotional ride that starts low, with a beast who hesitantly follows you and is deathly frightened of its previous masters, then gradually crescendos into a heart-swelling climax with a beast who charges into your enemies and risks everything for you.
At the end when the camera is flying around, I was literally in tears. Twice, because I foolishly watched my daughter play to the end. I still tear up every time I think about it.
