It was time to get back to some gaming with the little free time I have these days. Something I'm usually not a big fan of are single player games, however after watching the HBO series I was interested in playing the game, especially watching season 1 which I was a big fan of. Season 2, not so much, this drove me to get the game and rather live the story through that, even though I probably have a long way to go to catch up!
Here's the gameplay video:
(If you're going to watch the gameplay, I suggest watching the video before scrolling down further as the screenshots may spoil the gameplay)
I'll be including a few screenshots I was gonna take throughout the gameplay as it is such a beautiful game visually, they really did amazing work with the remastering and release on PC. However I completely forgot to do so while recording so I re-ran the game later again to do so. I also added subtitles this time for things people may say that may be a bit far/hard to hear. I might remove them cause it kind of makes the screenshots uglier in my opinion.
The images are in order of gameplay.
One thing I really liked in this game is how the sunlight changes the atmosphere so quickly, you can see it slightly in this next shot but also in the first two.
Maybe not the best timing to crouch.
Another thing I really loved in this game aesthetically so far is the greenery that's taken over the world after 20 years since the epidemic started. While it's quite disturbing everything that has happened since and the current status quo, nature shows us that there's some beauty in everything.
Naturally there's also some less pretty sights in this universe.
Managed to capture the explosion on my second run!
Honestly, you could probably make full posts with just the screenshots of this game as it's so visually appealing if you added some text here and there. I need to try and remember to take them more throughout the next gameplay whenever something new/unique shows up.
This is where we ended this gameplay so far, we met up with one of the fireflies to help them smuggle a person out of the city in exchange for getting some guns back and maybe more. Let's see what awaits Joel and Ellie in the next part!
