PROS:
- The dialogue, the world building, the narrative, Joel and Ellie's relationship, EVERYTHING IN THE STORY DEPARTMENT.
- Performances, especially Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson.
- The tension in every gameplay scene, dealing with clickers and the more horrifying creepy ahh humans that mess with Joel and Ellie.
- Specifically for PS5 version... Graphically looks INSANE.
- The score 👌👌👌
CONS:
- At one point after plenty of hours in the game I started seeing the design flaws which completely broke my immersion. (e.g. looking for ladders, planks, trash cans for Ellie to walk across)
- Personal opinion alert: The narrative is way more effective on the HBO live action adaptation. There's plenty of filler gameplay sequences here.
