So after playing TLOU2 [and I mean exploring every possible facet in this game and having a full, complete understanding of the first story followed to Part #2], I can honestly say this is thee best game I’ve ever played, I would rank it #1 in my top three best games of all time. Not because of just the storyline, which is good, but the gameplay mechanics were executed perfectly, from crafting simplicity, toggling weapons, stealth mode, player movement animation, voiceover/lip-synching was spot on and I don’t think I encountered one glitch in this game, considering Naughty Dog was working on a ~12 hour work schedule for two weeks prior to the June release.
What surprised me most about this game, once you thought it was over, it wasn’t and there was more to be told from a Secondary character standpoint on different levels. But seriously, it was the perfect combination of dealing with action, you can access different routes to various checkpoints in the game, ect.
To me, I could sit here and write pages about this game, but I won’t for the sake of not releasing any ‘major plot points’ for those who have not played this, but this is what gaming is all about, Naughty Dog set the bar so high, other developers need to take a serious look at their craft and realize what it takes to put out this type of gaming experience that we deserve in this era of major titles. The only other developer that I would rank at their level, would be Rockstar.
On Closing note, I could not get over how big Abby’s arms are in this game, seriously, she’s built like Linda Hamilton from Terminator 2: Judgment day. (Heck, she even runs like her.)
{Major props to Neil Druckman and Halley Gross for Genius minds working together to produce such an amazing experience for the gamer}
10/10
Edit:
I spent a total of ~30 hours to complete the game in its entirety. I do believe they will be a ‘Part 3’, but at the very earliest you would see this game would probably be near 2030, assuming they don’t have any other projects releasing prior.
