Today’s game is some more of The Last of Us. I went through the Entirety of Day 1 for Abby today. I wasn’t expecting it to put us in her shoes. As much as i’m still pissed about Joel, i do like getting the different play style and getting to play her as a character. You can tell there’s a character arc being setup there. I loved going through the aquarium too. It’s so pretty to walk through and see all the water and fish. You can tell the put a lot of work into making this look good. Especially with all the Transparent surfaces.
The sea lion was nice to see. They’re adorably cute so anything with them deserves points from me.
Later on the game gave me a shotgun in a pottery store. It was like the game was speaking to me and asked me to Channel my inner Link and destroy all the pots. And those thoughts won, i did it. I ran out of shells midway through and used a Steel Pipe, but it was fun messing around with the physics engine like that.
Maybe it’s because i’m not as high leveled, but Abby’s combat feels far more difficult. I ran out of Ammo in the scenario above and had to resort to bottle stuns and stealth attacks. I did end up making it though, although i had to run away at the end.
The section where our weapons were ripped away was fun too. Maybe this sounds weird but i always enjoy being stripped of strength in a game. The section looks good too. A lot of darkness with just torch light. This kind of old fashioned vibe is a good mixup from the usual “Here’s a city with a ton of trees”.

It’s been a bit difficult with The Last of Us because I feel self obligated to mix things up regularly, but it has been fun, especially showing off my favorite sights and parts in the story. I feel a bit like a tourist seeing a city for the first time lol
