Today’s game is some more of The Last of Us. I’m determined to see this one through to the end (and maybe a little addicted). I’m so upset i didn’t pick this game up earlier, but with how the narrative is, it’s probably for the best i waited until i could understand it. It really reminds me of the novel The Road, which i’m pretty sure the game referenced. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an inspiration too.

I got to the point where Ellie was fleeing from the guys hunting her and met David. I noticed that he kind of seems to be a mirror Joel which i think is intentional. Even down to his appearance is similar. It is a shame he turned out to be evil because i kind of like the guy when the game forced you to get along with him. Still though, much prefer Joel over him.

The fight with the Bloater in the room really caused me some problems. It took a few tries but Ellie is built like a glass cannon so i struggled a bit. Still though, i eventually made it and wiped the floor with the thing by throwing a ton of Moltovs at it.

I gotta say, this whole winter chapter too is shaping up to be one of my favorites. It’s really pretty. I’ve always had a soft spot for snowy landscapes and this is no exception. I really hope we get more time here outside of being hunted by these guys.

I dont want to skip entirely over the Dam section though, so before i end off for tonight (and probably end up staying up late to play some more) here’s a really gorgeous screenshot i got of this billboard. The game’s effects are perfect and i just love the detail on how this rain is done. I was honestly mesmerized. I know it’s just some lame rain, but damn did it look good.
