This game might have the strongest vibes of any game ever. How did they make boring concrete office space so interesting to look at. When the old gods of asgard started playing in the ashtray maze that was when I knew this game is mana from heaven. Also probably the only game ever with live action cutscenes that don't look cringe af! The story confuses me and makes me feel like an insane person!! When Alan Wake showed up in my elevator on the magic phone I almost peed myself. Oh and gameplay is fun too
Naughty Dog looked at the first 3 with their awesome characters and said "okay what if the plot was actually good though?" Nate's longing for adventure and relationship with Elena was so captivating. Basically perfect ending for these characters. I loved the more open Madagascar and Libertalia levels and the action and set pieces are still there.

It's just more uncharted which I will never complain about. The plane crash and sinking boat are some of the coolest sections in video games and the characters are still lovable and fun. The villains were pretty lackluster in this one compared to completely over-the-top insane Lazarevic, but I enjoyed the story overall.

Gameplay is miles more fun than it was in the first, especially against a big group of human enemies. Trying to figure out how to stealth your way out is like a big giant puzzle and I love it. I really don't like switching characters halfway through and Abby's tools are much less fun than Ellie's.
I really like the beginning of the story, the ending, and all the Joel/Ellie flashbacks in the middle, and Lev and Dina were great new characters in my opinion, but the rest is just such doomer torture porn that just makes me depressed to even play. Yes I know it's supposed to elicit those kinds of emotions but doesn't mean I enjoyed it. I don't think there's any other game that had story beats that made me roll my eyes into the back of my head and immediately followed them up with ones that made me sob. What a weird experience

The harder boss fights are so much fun. I like the story and characters and the different routes depending on how much murder you commit is a really neat idea. Some of this game's brand of humor doesn't really gel with me and none of the overworld stuff outside of combat is really that interesting but I had a good time

Really fun combat and really good characters, plot is kinda messy but it's pretty much just an excuse to get from planet to planet and it's not a big deal. Oggdo Bogdo will see me in hell. I really don't like most of the orb puzzles in the zeffo ruins and trying to get 100% with no fast travel on the bigger planets is miserable.
