What can I say that hasn't already been said? From the combat to the voice acting to the music to the attention to detail to the MULTI-branching story line to the lovable production crew (including Larian themselves and all the actual voice actors themselves IRL) this one of those games that should be played by everyone at least once regardless of its your usual thing or even if you're not into video games at all. I'll give it some scores below for the record but this game goes beyond just a score in a lot of ways. Play it eventually if you haven't already and love it or hate it or be completely indifferent to it just know in the realm of "video-gaming" has been changed forever regardless of what the cry baby Devs and Publishers of other games want to say or imply about their own corporately mandated repetitive games.

Graphics - 9.5/10 Glitchy but can be forgiven overall just for its expressive emoting, detail, and just overall depth and breath of quality and it will only look and run better over time as hardware gets more powerful to run it and with mod support. This game will age fantastically graphically.
Sound - 9.5/10 All time classic amazing soundtrack and SFX. Down down down by the river indeed.
Story - 9/10 While in the end linear and repetitive on more than one playthrough the overall arc and lore and intimate yet epicness of the whole thing will have you not wanting to exit the game most of the time.
Gameplay - If plodding and involved exploration and detailed and intense turn based combat is your thing then "Welcome Home". The controls may take awhile for those that aren't used to the style of the game to get used to but in the end they range from "Fine" to "Fun as hell" with just a smidgen of sometimes frustrating/sometimes janky. May I suggest if you only install one Mod to install the "Native Camera Tweaks" Mod. You can thank me by leaving a kudos for this review =)
Multiplayer - OMG everything above + the best sort of chaos only an open ended (gameplaywise) game like this + your friends + plus your most devious macinations your imaginations can come up with. Must try at least once even if its only co-op.

Honestly the best game since the 360/PS3 era of Gaming and that's no exaggeration imho.
9.5/10 overall and will only improve with age. I look forward to whatever it is Larian does next. They are the "new" CDPR/Valve in their game making heyday/
Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk!
