Having played through the first 2/2.5 hours - basically an extended prologue - I feel a serious amount of sympathy for the reviewers who had to try to talk about this without being allowed to mention the bloomin’ inciting incident of the plot. Corporate spoiler-phobia is very silly when it prevents critics from doing their basic jobs.

Anyway: it’s a Naughty Dog game. Stunning / god-tier technical showcase (without forgetting the human cost of that level of polish), brilliant acting, polished but rote gameplay. Far too early to say much more of substance about it, other than it’s a good solid opening that sets up an intriguing basic premise. Whether it can follow through, I’ll tell you in two dozen hours

That's a good sign. I found the first 2 or so hours the weakest when compared to the next 12.

Well after about 45 mins of playing through cutscenes I finally finished it, figure I got the best ending too -

I let Abby get eaten by the first infected she met. Everyone's safe, my work is done, roll on number 3

.

You finished it??

I'm still waiting. Looks like I'll have the Last of Us controller I ordered from Amazon before I have the game.

Keep an eye out in one of the buildings early on in the game for a really cool Naughty Dog Easter Egg

I didn't want to give much away. One clue is that it's where you find the first work bench

I won't say how far I am in the game but I will say this is the first time a video game has made me lose my appetite

Storyline is the drizzling ****s. Clearly made for the "woke" generation.

That lad's a Trump-loving ****-poster. He'd be afraid of developing ovaries if he even touched the cover of it.

Oh you're edgy mate

I was one of the "story might not be for me" not going to get it brigade.

Thankfully my 19 year old nephew has bought it today and is away until next Thursday.

Funny that, I loved 1 myself and am enjoying this so far. But based on your sweeping statement, I guess I should look for a refund.

Lol wish he did... said tomorrow I'm afraid.

Also just a heads up. Dont turn on youtube radbrad and the likes have the walkthrough up already

I can't stress this statement enough. If you follow either TheRadBrad or FightinCowboy, I'd suggest unsubbing until you beat the game. These lads often put major spoilers in the title of their videos. I dunno why they do this, but I had to unsub from both to be safe

I saw a major spoiler in the title of a video just looking on Youtube for the recent True Faith Ad to show the daughter. I'd kind of guessed it was going to happen in the game so not majorly pissed off but avoid Youtube at all costs if you want nothing spoiled.

Really liking it so far.
The graphics and animations are fantastic

It’s amazing that there are people here so gullible to actually believe the positive reviews given Naughty dog and Neil Druckmans behavior that is well publicized by the youtubers and websites that they tried to silence.

I won’t be getting the game

as I don’t want a golf simulator 😉
