This game really succeeds in creating an emotional connection with the player. The story is superb. Courtnee Draper's and Troy Baker's acting really cover the character's, making one feel invested in their story.
The only negative I can get out of this game is that occasionally the combat can be a bit of a grind. The story and the rest of the game really make up for it, however.
Despite the combat I would give this game a 9.5 out of 10
