This game is a masterpiece, since start playing it you won't be able to stop.
Let's start with the story. This is a second part of a game, so you need to beat the first one to understand and follow this one. It is very well-developed with great characters. Side Quests are needed to fully get into the story.
Graphics are great on PS5. To take full advantage I do recommend to get an OLED TV with all the features supported by PS5, such as 4K HDR, 120Hz VVR and so on. You won't regret the investment. The environment is vast, all seasons, all weathers, day, night, onset sunset, you get all. Huge open world.
Sound, in this department the game is average, very good, but no amazing. I haven't tried playing it with the 3D headphone, maybe I missed something.
Characters are great, all of them. I really recommend playing this game on easy difficulty in your first play through due to the length of the game and so many side quests and main missions, etc. In addition, to get the Platinum trophy it will take a lot of time, around 90 hours. I spent unnecessary time playing on Normal difficulty, it is just a waste of time... I really enjoyed getting the platinum... you need to make sure of scanning all type of enemies to get the one that can be missed.
Easily one on the best game of 2022 and so far.
