I played the first, top 3 games I’ve ever played.
Got a PS5, bought the second as I’d not got round to it yet on PS4 so due to lack of new games I’ve fancied yet I picked TLOU2 up for £20, I’m about a 1/4 way through but not played it for a while so nice that I’ll be able to upgrade when I go back to it. Tbh it already looks fantastic.
I haven’t played the second yet. First I thought was dull for a few levels and gave up, then I came back to it and played it through- brilliant game. Top 5-10 for me.
Not sure if I’d played 2 before I’d go back for a slightly better frame rate. It’s the story and gameplay I go for and after completing once, you know the story.
I’ll almost certainly will play 2 at some point.,I don’t know much about it (deliberately) apart from that the first was very good, and the seconds story is quite brutal.

You should - gameplay wise head and shoulders above 1, and overall story is excellent. Not quite as good as 1 imo, but very very close.
Oh did I mention it's absolutely gorgeous

It’s definitely on my list, ticks all the right boxed, particularly story. Love a game with a great story.
In a side note; anyone played evil within 2? It’s actually really, really good
I loved TLOU 2 but one of the reasons it gets a lot of hate is because the story doesn't go as people hoped it would which seems a bit stupid to slate a game for. I liked abbie as a character especially as you see the reasons for her actions as time goes by
i kinda thought the second one was shallow, pretentious and dull.
The first is a masterpiece, but each to their own

I downloaded EW1 for free via PS Now and thought it was pretty cool. I got stuck on this huge caaant of a boss in the village. I didn’t have the weapons to deal with him. Gave up and then weirdly took on the challenge of Dark Souls 3 which is facking masterpiece of a game. Yet to complete it though. I’m stuck on the final boss. I have some regrets on how I chose to level up my guy.
Have heard EW2 is much better than the first but quite difficult. I think that might be free on PS Now as well actually.
I’m currently playing AC Origins which I love. Playing it off the back of finishing Watchdogs:Legion which is a great game as well.

Yeah it’s much much better than the first. Honestly surprised it’s not been so popular because technically it’s excellent and it reminds me a bit of LOU in places. I suppose the grotesque creatures and horror out many off but it’s a very good game indeed. Story isn’t too bad either.

What are you playing atm 1man?

Like I say each to their own, unfortunately as stunning to look at as TLOU2 is, I just didn’t get the narrative.
It reminded me of miserable disjointed version of Death Wish 😅
It was good in parts, but the amount of times I raised my eyebrows was far too much...
I can see why people love it I guess, but I won’t be playing it again, I will defo replay the first one if it gets remastered.
For me the first one was 9/10
The second 6.5 or maybe 7/10 at a push.
But glad you enjoyed it we are all different

I’m kinda in between games atm, I’m interested not TEW tho
TLOU series is all about the story, so if you don't like the story then chances are you won't like the game. This is how I felt about the second one.
The gameplay is nothing special in either game and the a.i especially in the first one was very comical, but people are more than willing to overlook those aspects because of the story and the first one was an amazing experience because of that.
Won't spoil anything about the second one, but like 1man said, it was pretentious and has split the fanbase (dare I say maybe even a 60-40 split in favour of disliking it). The first one for me now has been tainted due to what comes in the next edition.
5/10 from me.
Evil Within was pretty good if quite linear. The sequel was brilliant and I didn't want it to end.
EW2 can be quite hard initially, spend a fair amount of time in the town really listening out for enemies and trying to work out your best move.

I hate to say it but I agree with most of what you said there!
I felt the all the humour, magic and proper character development was stripped away and was replaced with an old school revenge story which took its self way way too seriously.
I cared about all the characters in the first, but in the second I managed to dislike just about all of them...
the gameplay was great and it was very good to look at, but I will never be playing that again.

Yeh the 2nd is more thinking after the fact, I just cant get around how stupid the surprise was when it happened - a tiny bit of tweaking and you have a storyline better than the 1st imo.
As I said gameplay wise though is much much better than the first, love the new elements. I am also considering to go back soon on a harder level for sure as I feel there is still more it can give. Gorgeous game, interesting characters, and a deep look at how fooked people can get.
