Better than I had expected.
What's good -
Excellent graphics, gameplay, character models, exploration, environments, combat, stealth, music, upgrading, & the Joel & Ellie flashback scenes brought a tear to my eye, they were the heart & soul of TLOU.
What's not so good -
The story, it's depressing & convoluted, Joel's death felt rushed, the pacing was too slow at times (especially with Abby's gameplay), too many cutscenes (sometimes 3 or 4 in a row) & loading, Abby flashbacks with Owen are boring, we really don't get to spend enough in-game real-time to learn to care about these characters in advance, too many "endings", the game could have ended sooner but it went on a bit more, two unnecessary boss fights between Ellie & Abby, just needed the one boss fight at the very end.
Overall, it was a good game, ND got so many things right, & I love the whole Last of Us universe, but the fractured relationship between Joel & Ellie felt like I missed a Part 1.5, also, the Bonus features such as turning on Infinite Ammo & Crafting felt odd for a survival horror game, it would have been better if they had put in a "gameplay mode", that allowed you to skip the cutscenes automatically, I would also like if they added the ability to lockpick vehicles for more items & collectables.
It took me just over 33hrs (I skipped as many cutscenes as possible) to complete the game, & I found 197 items & collectables.
I would rate the game a 7.5 - 8 out of 10.Vollständige Rezension lesen
