This one....is weird to talk about, well time to walk in dangerous territory.
Gameplay is good, even better than Part 1 (The Roguelike mode demonstrated that), visually impressive, runs better than Part 1 and in general aspects is fun to play.

Now let's talk about the story: Killing Joel is a good trigger for the story, talking about the cycle of violence, revenge and watching Ellie being dehumanized is a good contrast to Joel returning his humanity in part 1.

now, with that said: the fact that this game is happening in just 3 days in one city (Seattle) during 95% of the gameplay is a downgrade compared to a whole year in different places in Part 1, the flashbacks gets really annoying sometimes (The Chronological mode fix that but is a mode apart sooooo)

Abby...the main elephant in the room, is really but REALLLY hard to empathize for obvious reasons, playing her is fine, is more focused to aggresive gameplay and i like that, i get the idea of seeing her point of view but the execution is the main problem, and she doesn't have the same chemistry towards Lev compared to Joel and Ellie, it just feels....odd, but hey at least you can kill Transphobes so that's kinda cool 〜(￣▽￣〜)

and of course the ending is also weird, making a fking slaughterhouse just to forgive Abby at the end just because "La venganza nunca es buena, mata el alma y la envenena" it's weird, i get the idea, but again, is the problem of the execution.

So, i recommend this game? yeah go give a try, if you are interested in gameplay you are gonna have a good time, if you want to the story...well also play it to make your conclusions, if TLOU Part 1 is a 10/10, this one is a 7.5-8/10

The Magnum Opus of Naughty Dog and Playstation in general, the development of Ellie And Joel, the writing, the gameplay and playing this in high difficulties is just gorgeous
the port started being dogcrap anda buggy mess but after a while is now completely playable to give a try

Expedition 33 but good and without french people

im Peaking it

oh hey it's just like fall guys but more predatory.
but seriously, this game is not made for PC, it's very obvious that is made for mobile players, the game itself works if you want to play in a portable device to kill the time.
The notorious elephant in the room is the monetization, 45 dollars for a skin??? (and in my country is kinda worse because it costs 899MXN (the equivalent of almost 50 dollars), lots of pop ups and TREE BATTLE PASS, EA would be really proud of you
really just spent on Sonic Frontiers, Shadow Generations, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even Sonic Forces, but waste 45$ in a mobile game port it's not worth it

The perfect example of how to make a horror game
Really acomplish to make you scared, disgusted, feared and with curiosity thanks to the atmosphere and the incredible soundtrack made by Akira Yamaoka.
Expect puzzles, a lot, but it's just cuestion of thinking and exploring.
The gameplay doesn't have the issue with a lot of Survival horror games that if you have a lot of weapons it becomes less of a horror game and more of an Action game, here you just have your pipe, pistol, shotgun and rifle, and that's it. (and of course be a little careful with your ammo management)
The Remake itself is very faithfull with the original, pretty good graphics, a better voice acting, and easter eggs
just keep in mind that the optimization is still not really good because it uses Lumen by default (i had to optimize the game to gain 60 fps in the Steam Deck), so common UE5 L
anyways, this game is a must have if you like horror games

i pre-ordened this game in the past (and i absolutely regret it), but i buyed it here because it was on sale and have all the DLCS with a reasonable price
the game itself is quite fun, really enjoyable with friends but the more you play by yourself becomes a really meh experience.
The history is about timelines.....again, this is all the NetherRealm wrriters knows about? it gets tiring, outside of that i don't remember a single thing of the story.
The Gameplay is very fun, playing Raiden, Omni Man and GhostFace feels good to play
Invasions it's just the World Of Light mode from Smash Ultimate from Temu and with pretty visuals, first season was interesting but after that, i lost the interest of that mode.
The Roster, comparing to Mk11 feels really small (and it is), feeling like the game isn't worth the price
Denuvo....need to say more? 2 year old game and Denuvo is still there

Now the Steam Deck part review:
Steam Deck verified? more like Steam Deck TERRIFIED
it's reaaaaaally dependent of Lossless Scalling to even get 60 fps and with terrible implementation of FSR and Intel XeSS, without LS you get 40ish-50ish (if your really lucky to get 50) fps with everything to low and upscaling.
Best visuals than the Switch port (except blurriness) but worse fps so big nono if you want to play online.
how is it possible that this game is set to verified and Mk11, a game that can run with very high settings is set to uncompatible?

In conclusion
fun game to play with interesting ideas but with terrible execution and with nothing much to do once you finish the story mode

Sisyphus really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ my femboy ass 🥀

Anyways this soundtrack bangs, now you can hear it like the game instead of that little pitch alteration like the soundtrack of YouTube
