"The Last of Us Part 2: A Divisive Dark Game Yet Controversial Masterpiece" Reviewed by: Myth Rowens I'm not a paid reviewer of this game and don't hate me just because I liked this game. I'm just being honest here and here to give out my opinions of the game. Actually after playing this game, I was so impressed with the story, graphics and gameplay. This game is mostly more of prepare for a lot of drama which makes the story very realistic. I don't get why people keep on making one star reviews about this game just because they either are emotionally attached to Joel or haven't played or finished the game yet. Of course, spoiler alert. Joel's death and the final fight between Abby and Ellie at the beach are very controversial. If you look closely at their perspective and be on someone's shoes, you will probably understand the full story of it. Starting with Joel's death, this is the mostly controversial part. This shows Abby brutally murdered Joel just because of what Joel did. He killed the surgeon and saved Ellie in the hospital from the first game. For Abby, killing Joel is justice while Ellie watching Joel die held by a numerous WLF soldiers was a senseless murder. In the first part of the game, we all know that Joel is a ruthless person. The Last of Us isn't all about being a hero, villain or whatsoever. It's about the perspective of others.In the ending, if you've been paying attention, if Ellie continued her desire for revenge on killing Abby, it was the worst choice which she loses everything. If Ellie killed Abby, Lev will have vengeance on Ellie and Ellie will have her psychological trauma getting worse at the end. The game leaves you sparing Abby at the end and in this epilogue, Ellie loses everything including Dina, her fingers, etc. That's the point, even if Ellie kills Abby, then what? It will not bring Joel back nor give you peace. This shows that Ellie regrets leaving Dina alone by continuing her pursuit of vengeance. That's the point, revenge is pointless. The cycle of revenge never stops there. I've been a fan from the first part of TLOU and this one never dissapoints me. Just because you hate this game doesn't mean this game is trash. This game is not a rehash, it is a continuation. Story - 8 out of 10 Gameplay - 10 out of 10 Graphics - 10 out of 10 Replayability - 7 out of 10 Overall - 8.8 out of 10 Pros: - Improved gameplay - Enhanced Graphics - Evolved Narrative - I wouldn't say fun but it is worth an experience - One of the Best PS4 Exclusives Cons: - Pacing is a bit slow - Not for everyone who is a fan of the first game - Minor Bugs and Glitches - Can be stressful and may not be everyone's cup of tea Note: If you don't like this game, calm down and get on with it. If you didn't like the story, why bother posting death threats, review bombs and harass people online. It's not nice. Not cool. Just keep it to yourself but everyone has their right to give their opinions in a professional and proper way. Your opinions matter. Is this game worth your time? I would say, absolutely yes! Is the game worth your money for a $60 game? You can either get it now or either wait for sale. Overall, it is still a good game. Great Job Naughty Dog for making this game. Biggest fan since The Last of Us 1.

"Ghost of Tshushima review" Reviewed by: Erl San Pascual First of all, I wanted to say that this is probably the best end of an era to the ps4 and I cannot wait for Sucker Punch to surprise us with their games. Ghost of Tshushima is actually based on the year 1274 which shows the history of Mongols invading the Island of Tshushima. It was pretty accurate but had some minor inaccurate flaws with the history itself. The story overall is less controversial than The Last of Us Part 2 and I have to say that this is a better Feudal Japan Assassins' Creed type of game. I loved its characters, gameplay wise and I loved its simplicity. It had some memorable main quests and the side quests felt like they're also a part of the main missions. It's just like The Witcher 3 yet a refined version of it. Which also impressed me are the mythic tales. I liked the lores of each mythic tales. Gameplay is quite engaging and breathtaking. The best sword fights I've experienced in a game. The best in this game are the standoffs and the duels which blew me away. My expectations for this game were high and I praised this game a lot. My only main issue is that Ghost of Tshushima doesn't have a new game plus which is a bummer. Graphics is quite less refined than the last of us 2 but more colorful and beautiful than Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn. So far, graphics doesn't matter in this game. In conclusion, I have to say that Ghost of Tshushima deserves the praise it gets from everyone. It deserves to be a part of the game of the year contenders for 2020. I am still thinking that The Last of Us Part 2 might win game of the year but I changed my mind. I hope Ghost of Tshushima wins game of the year. Thank you Sucker Punch for creating this masterpiece. Overall: Story - 9.5 out of 10 Gameplay - 9.3 out of 10 Graphics - 9 out of 10 Replayability - 8 out of 10 Total - 9 out of 10 Pros - One of the best ps4 exclusives - Memorable Characters - Main Quests and Side Quests are treated as equals - Very Good Visuals - Memorable Story Cons - Cutscenes are terrible in the game - Bad Lipsyncing - No New Game Plus
