(not my pic, just from twitter) The combination of strong art and a strong technical engine/backend is why this game is so impressive. Everyone on the dev team really brought their A game when it came to putting the game's settings and characters together and making sure they're all on the same page as one another. I hope it ends up being a big success for Focus/Asobo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reveal hidden contents Yeah I definitely appreciated the constantly changing color palettes, plus it actually evokes the current mood of the story. Bright colors = more lighthearted moments are happening. While darker, muted colors typically means you’re about to get into some dark shit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im guessing you just got to Spoiler the island I was surprised at how there's a couple of spots off the beaten path that you can easily miss, yet the art design in those areas is still fantastic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This game is getting beyond incredible. Godly af story and voice acting. Some incredibly tense sections. This is why I don’t take reviews seriously. So far, it’s definitely a 9+ game. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,672 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Up to Chapter 4 now. Game looks stunning and while still extremely limited in scope it does an amazing job of just making it look and feel grand and epic due to it's presentation. Some cool set pieces too and the voice acting is superb. Liking the themes in this one a lot more than the first also. Good game so far. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,872 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Damn, just finished it. I had a feeling the end of one arc was inevitable. I won’t elaborate more, since I don’t want to spoil anything. As for the game, itself, it was an improvement in every way. Naughty Dog has their work cut out for them, since this game has set a new standard for storytelling, elevated by the best acting in gaming - period. Sure, the game isn’t a huge evolution from the first (but the combat is definitely better, with significantly larger battle areas later in the campaign). Bur who cares? This is a labor of love for the fans. 9.5/10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
