I’d never played TLOU before, but was recently looking for something new to play and heard great things about it. My parents watched the show and loved it, so I decided to give it a shot. It took me a little bit to get into, but once I did I got hooked hard. I beat the game and then went on to watch the show with my wife, she loved it and now wants to watch me play Part II. Unfortunately that means I can only play it when she’s around, and given we both work shift work, means it might take me a long time to beat Part II, but it’s incredible so far. I’m not too far into it yet though so no spoilers for Part II please.
What does this community think of this game? I know it was very well received, I’m just curious how patientgamers feel towards it. Also, how did people like the show? I thought it was great but I’ve heard some people found it boring. I prefer the game but was very impressed with the show as well. I’m looking forward to season 2
Remember in part 2 you can dive into prone from running.
I love these games but I jokingly called part 2 a depression simulator. It’s intensely emotional at points and lingered in my thoughts after finishing it. It’s an incredible piece of storytelling and art.
For me the production was unlike anything I had seen to that point. Just incredible. Gameplay, however, did little for me. Perfect game to watch someone else play in my book
Part II is really polarizing in the community, but I personally loved it more than the first. However, I found it to be far more depressing. YMMV, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you’ll want to be emotionally prepared going into it.
It’s been my favorite story driven game franchise for many years
And I hope you enjoy Part 2. I loved it almost as much as the original, but it does NOT pull any punches narratively speaking so just be prepared to be challenged. It was controversial when it came out for several reasons (some valid, some not)
I reviewed it when it came out, I thought it was fine, but the strength is more in the story telling of the cutscenes than the actual game play.
The game itself is pretty repetitive and once you get a feel for it, it’s actually a little dull.
Levels are either a) in daylight or b) in the dark, and either c) against the infected or d) against militia groups.
So if your currently playing in the daylight against militia groups, the next level will be in the dark vs. infected, and then it alternates.
The story is top notch though.
Masterpiece. Both parts. One of few games I give 10/10.
I enjoyed the game, especially the winter section. I’ve had part 2 since release but haven’t played it yet. Kinda forgot about it so thanks for bringing it up. Maybe I’ll end my patience and play it.
Story good, game play is decent. I liked it. I didn’t like 2 though, the gameplay didn’t really improve and the story was kinda boring and very obviously manipulative.
