Loved the game play, the characters, the scripting, and the story. This is the second game (after Skyrim) to completely hook me and drive me towards completion, and I feel such a great sense of satisfaction having just beaten it (especially as I just now returned from a long and fairly grueling [albeit wonderful] trip to India). I’m so glad that this was the first story game with actual game play mechanics (not just that quick time stuff) that I’ve beaten.

Not exactly sure how I feel about the end of the game. It came fairly abruptly (especially as I was expecting a couple more chapters) and there was a lot that didn’t feel resolved. Also, I’m not a fan of Joel’s final choice.

I beat this on the second level of difficulty (normal I think) and it took me 33 hours. I hope to try it again someday at a higher setting. Also…missed out on a lot of the trophies (although I’m not exactly sure why).
