No game has ever made me feel like this

Seriously this might be one of the greatest games ever. I usually don't care to much for rpgs but this game is just so incredible. The characters are all so interesting and unlike other games they feel like actual people living on the eye with their own dreams and goals and don't just function as cardboard cutouts to give the player a boring side quest. In most games I struggle to really empathize with characters but the npcs in this game just feel so real in a way. Most of the time I didn't even care about getting some kind of reward for doing the side quests I just wanted help them and learn more about the characters and hear what they have to say. That's another thing this game has some of the best writing of any game I've ever played. It's so immersive and even though I'm someone who struggles with imagining what things like places described in books look like when playing this game I could always imagine excactly what eg. fengs bay or sabines Appartement looked like just from the way the game describes them. Also this games story is so good. It's quite complex but never confusing and unraveling more and more about all the different groups like yatagan and havenage was so interesting and the fact that you never learn too much information at a time makes it a lot more digestible. Also I don't know how the game does it but I don't think any game has made me feel so many emotions while playing it. The warmth and comfort of eating at emphis stall and sharing your stories with him, the excitement of finishing your Appartement and finally having somewhat of a home, the genuine fear I felt when Ethan first caught me and intensity of the moment and the shock and kind of guilt I felt when killing maywick. This game is truly something special and I'm in genuine awe at how incredible it is and how it manages to grip me in way that no other game ever has. If you made it through my rambling thank you so much for reading I hope what I wrote makes sense and I hope I was able to get my feelings across. I haven't even finished this game yet but I just had to share my thoughts on it because like I said no game has ever made me feel the way citizen sleeper has.
