A game I've been meaning to get around to since I bought my ps3 in 2019, finally got around to beating it on my PS5. I understand the appeal, the characters are endearing and super well acted. The artistic vision of this game still holds up 8 years later, as does the music; so its pretty sound on a technical level. Beyond that you have a pretty standard zombie story though paired with pretty dull gameplay most the time. Melee combat feels like it only works about half the time making most encounters really frustrating when the point of the game is to use as little resources as possible per encounter! The A.I. is not good, enemies feel like the switch targets for no reason other than to screw over the player and companion A.I. makes stealth sections feel completely fake. Glad I played, glad to see it getting adapted into a format that should improve it next year.
