The Superlatives…
Game of the Year and Generation – The Last of Us Part 2 – PS4: I say it with nothing but extreme compliments when I call this the most miserable game I have played. Every step along the way of the story had me filled with regret and dread. By what appears to be the end of the game, I was yelling at my TV for the main character to just give up their quest. Story ✅ Graphics ✅ Sound ✅ Control ✅. All aspects of TLoU2 are top tier. Releasing it with a pandemic happening in real life only added to the mystique. I am looking forward to clearing out my game backlog so I can hopefully revisit the game.
Honorable Mentions: Ghost of Tsushima was terrific and I even got the platinium trophy for it which I almost never do for open world games. Control was great but a little weird at times. Seems to be cut from the same cloth as Kojima games in regards to how bizarre it got. I played through all of Carrion on my Mac Mini and it was just as good as the demo I got to play many month ago.
