I'm a "PC-Gamer" so for both Part I and Part II I had to wait for the PC Port. For Part I I managed to stay mostly unspoiled and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Part II. After I finished Part I I got tailored recommendations on Youtube etc. from Part II 2020 release. So going into it I already new 2 major spoilers:
- Joel dies almost instantly
- Abby gets spared in the end

Still, after playing the game for 5 hours on release yesterday, I have to say that I'm very pleasently surprised with the Story so far. Except for 1 crash the Game ran smoothly, the Graphics are great and the combat is more fleshed out then Part I.
Pretty much the only "problem" I have so far is that I would have liked Ellie to spend a liiiittle bit more time with Joel on Screen before his death - like a patrol with him or something (that Ellie talks about with Dina, where she and Joel killed a dozen infected) .

Will update as I play, but so far I'd give this game a 98/100.

Update 1:
Ellie Day 2 is over now and I wasn't really ready for the Flashback at the end of that day. All I can say is that I love this game and the continued (from Part 1) insanely realistic relationship between Joel and Ellie (and all of the other characters as well).

Still a 98/100.

Update 2 (Spoilers ahead!):
Ellie Day 3 was just brutal, Jesse died & Tommy might be shot dead as well with a cliffhänger to Abby day 1 . I saw a lot of hate towards Abby before playing the game and I have to say, I don't understand at all (Beginning Abby Day 1 right now, may change, but I don't think it will) why - yeah of cource she kills Joel, after he helped her but the game tells you a solid reason, everyone understands - it's similar in a way to Ellies current situation.

I'm pumping up the game to a 98.5 because of the Seraphites. They are communicating by - Whisteling and that's first of all extremely cool but as a receiver in combat very scarry.

Update 3:
Played through Abby Day 1 & 2 and have to say, awesome stuff all around. Now it's also coming together - at least some of them -> why the W.L.F was looking for Abby, why Nora knew where Abby way, etc. etc..
Also loved the Ratking encounter in the hospital. That was insane!
I just want to know how this extremely sad and painful story will end for either side.

Game Score will be deducted 2 points tho for Owen cheating on Mel with Abby . Might be just me, but I thought that to be unnecessary and I really disliked that. New Score 96.5.

Update 4:
Abby Day 3 was Grusome as well - a full on war.
Really Disliked the Theatre fight; Really didn't want to fight Ellie; I think my biggest Minus for this game.
Continued Story, loved the Farm - Joels Dream.
And then... we come to the End. I think all in all one can say this story is one of the closest things I've seen to "reality" in gaming so far - very human so to say.

All in all... I'm just insanely sad now... All the Flashbacks pay off towards the end...
God I love Ellie, Joel and this Franchise...
But because of some things i've listed (Ellie Fight) and some problems I have with the structure overall, I'm gonna reduce my score to 75.

Good Luck Ellie - I wish you wholeheartedly the best!

- See Monster
- Slay Monster
-Craft new Weapons and Armors
- Repeat

10/10

Loved this game like so many did before me. Put like 200 hours into it in only 4 weeks and 3 playthroughs.
Will probably come back a couple of times in the future and I'm looking forward to Larians next Game!

So anyway, I'm gonna leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the game:
"Not what will happen - What will You do. Your past is not yet lost. Your future is not yet fixed."

Edit: Favorite Companion is Shadowheart

1. Go to Nexus mods
2. Look at the most popular mods
3. Go \(O.O)/

Not as good as the first one, but meh/good.
A 7/10 IGN

A really fun little game. Could for sure be more fleshed out, with more upgrades, yada yada...
For what it is, it's defenetly a recommend from me.

The blasphemy of the Tyranids is such that only one solution is acceptable. Extermination.
There can only be two sides in a fight - choose carefully, lest you and I find ourselves on different sides.

Dredge was a really enjoyable experience. The fishing mechanics were fun and oddly relaxing, even with the eerie atmosphere creeping in around the edges.

Not every part hit the mark for me (looking at you, Gale Cliffs Monster ), but overall, I still had a great time.

Really enjoyed this one - a bunch of hidden details and easter eggs to discover.
Sometimes kinda hard to realise what to do, but maybe that's because of me being so new to this genre of games.
Fortunately my best friend backseated for my entire playthrough.
So I was never stuck for too long if I didn't know what to do, but also found out a bunch of things on my own.

Saw it in the shop, bought it, doesn't play well on keyboard and mouse, bought a controller, enjoyed the game.
