Spoiler Warning: I don't want this review to sound like a hate comment, so I'll do my best to simply express my true feelings towards this game. First I'll start off with what I liked about it. Almost everything about this game's mechanical depth and certain aspects of the story go unseen by many. Ashley Johnson most certainly worked her ass off in this game with her amazing voice acting once again with how it improved from the first, and I have to say she's pretty underrated for her skill. The performance is also amazing as it displays one of the best graphics I've ever seen in video game history, and the gameplay is also great. I love how you can go prone in grass to hide away from enemies, I like how you can use enemies as human shields while holding at gunpoint from behind, and I like the section day 3 with Ellie where you can hide underwater to avoid being seen by enemies. Now that I've gotten that out the way, I'm moving onto what I didn't like. I praised the gameplay but that's only me complimenting it on its own while the gameplay SECTIONS are a different story. Most of the game is jumping from here to there to there to here, pretty much the same as the first game. The beginning of the game during the second chapter where you arrive to Seattle with Ellie was pretty cool on the first day. The game gives you a nice adventurous feel to it, while the rest of the game is what I just mentioned. Then none of the puzzles feel rewarding and they feel like something a 7-year-old can do, same with all of the safe codes you come across. And I hate the silencer thing where after 3-5 shots with it on your pistol, it always breaks. Instead of them adding this, they could've gave you a puzzle to solve to find a safe code with a permanent silencer in it, but they didn't to give players the illusion that they've accomplished something. And the story is dogshit. They killed off Joel, the main playable character from the first game just to give Ellie a task to avenge him, but Abby tears down everything she cared about because of nothing. Yes, Joel killed her father but that was a second-degree at best, while Abby's killing of Joel was first-degree. She kills Joel, physically disables Tommy, ruined Ellie's life but the writers wanted us to sympathize with her. I can't sympathize with a character that never feels remorse for their actions or never reflects on their choices, and Abby does none of these. Gameplay wise, it's okay. Story and character wise, terrible.

Wow, they put a 70 dollar price tag on the original game when all they did was upgrade the graphics and ray tracing, then they had the nerve to cut a lot of content. If you prefer fresher graphics with improved performance and ray tracing, this might be a good start if you haven't played the original. The storytelling is absolutely beautiful with the two main characters having amazing chemistry, building an unimaginable relationship when they don't have many similarities. Now onto the gameplay, if you're new to video games and you're not looking for much of a challenge, this is a fine star but I'm here to tell my view. This game's replayability for me sums up to something I'd play every once in a while when I get bored, not something I'd play on a daily basis after beating it 2 or 3 times. It would really work very well as an open-world game since it takes place in a zombie apocalypse, but don't let my opinion stop you from having fun. Enjoy!

This game is a great start for souls players, and I'm here to tell you why. This game allows you to customize your character in any way you like with no restrictions, this game doesn't rush you and it allows you to take your time, it is one of the biggest and most diverse open-world maps you can come across with many different enemies, environments, armor and weapons, and many merchants you come across have different shop items that can potentially be useful. This game also has zero bugs or glitches in it so you'll know that they took their time and put love in it, because you can't find many triple-a titles with no bugs. Please buy this game if you can and don't feel ashamed for looking up online tutorials on how to start, have fun!

This game is definitely good and I can see why many people love this game, but I simply couldn’t. The gameplay is good but it did feel repetitive after a while, the acting is okay at best, many missions and side missions are also repetitive, the dialogue is mediocre but the graphics and performance are more than exceptional. This wouldn’t be at the height of my recommendation gaming list but it’s still good and I can see how some people will love it, 7/10.

Definitely is the best video game I’ve ever played in my life, the amazing story, exceptional graphics, the attention to detail, this game has almost everything. But the only problems I have with this game is whenever I’m riding through towns, NPCs are constantly walking in the roads and walking in front of my horse and sometimes make mistakes by hitting them. And there a few bugs that still haven’t been patched but they don’t really interfere with the gameplay or the immersion, and all this game needs is a 60FPS update and 1440p.
