Review by Matthew Bramhall
YAY!
- The visuals of the game are stunning, especially the outdoor/ natural environments
- The main character is a very "human" character, if he was described he isn't a very likable person but naughty dog pull it off very well and most people could understand and empathise with him
- The game tries to be very minimal with the HUD coming across as gritty and realistic.
- A nice interesting story and you want to know what happens to these characters.
- AI of the female character is for the most part very good and protects herself AND you in combat
- The character of Ellie is clearly modelled after the actor Ellen Page and to me comes across as very annoying in places
- The mechanic of crafting items is limited to a small amount of items
- The game seems to let you pick if you want to go all guns blazing or stealth but I felt the game punished me if I didn't use stealth
- Story doesn't deliver on the emotional front and as it seems to leave gaps where things may have happened, sorry to say that could be DLC
- There are only 4 enemy types in the game and combat can be repetitive
- Multiplayer feels tacked on and is mainly capture the flag/ deathmatch hybrid
- AI of enemies isn't too logical and can see you when you are behind, other times they could be looking at you and not see you
- Quick time events really damage the realistic and gritty feel that the game crafts
- The combat is unfairly hard early on, more so when you try to use guns as the accuracy is horrible, its only later when you upgrade ability's it becomes easier
- One enemy type can instantly kill you unless you have a specific combo of a skill and item, this is more so in the early stages
- The hype of the game has damaged the game and blown expectations up too much.
VERDICT
YAY!
