What an incredible game. It was originally released in 2013 shortly before the PS4 launched, and due to that, it was launched on the PS3. It told an extremely gripping story, and it was created with absolutely breathtaking visuals by the company responsible for the Uncharted franchise: Naughty Dog.
Naughty Dog has a way of working with the resources that they are given to push the console constraints that they have to deal with to make their games look stunning. Just... LOOK at the detail in these environments!
...Yeah. Those are ACTUAL visuals from the game. Absolutely amazing graphics, and easily the best looking game from the last generation (PS3 and XB360).
Graphics aside, lets talk about the game itself. It was awesome because it told a gripping story, with absolutely unbelievably relatable characters. The gameplay isn't really anything special, but the STORY itself is absolutely awesome. The game starts with a massive bomb dropping when one of the main characters loses his daughter in a tragic misunderstanding. This event hardens his heart and turns him into a rather violent, gruff character. He is then thrust into a parent-like role when he has to escort the other main character, Ellie, across the country.
The gameplay is terrifying because it requires stealth from the character or else facing rather quick and easy death. And the game requires rather good control of the materials the player is given, because materials are sparse and the player needs to be careful with how they play or else they will trap themselves in a corner against their enemies and the odds will definitely be against them.
It's just a fantastic game, and I missed out on it when it was released, but I was able to play it anyway because it was released as a remastered game on the PS4 last year, and nothing could keep me from getting it and playing it. Amazing game, and a must buy if you have a PS4!
