Aside from performance issue (ironed out within the first week of release it seems) and building shaders for 2 hours, this game is absolutely worth it.

I did not expect a new game and replayability on top of everything else. The story that is told (directly through interactions and indirectly through world building and environment) is such a fantastically well written piece. The characters felt very grounded and seemed as they were plausible people. What I loved most is the Joel and Ellie dynamic. Seeing Joel slowly go from a man that won't admit a word about his past or pains to talking to Ellie about Sarah is just great to see. And Ellie is honestly THE best way I have seen a child character made in a game. Usually child characters are written off as some annoyance or there just to be there. But Ellie is apart of your adventure and she really seems like a 14yo trying to brave this scary world. Her genuine childlike curiosity about the world, having dreams like wanting to be an astronaut, and the teen angst on being self sufficient lol. All the other characters you meet along the way are also amazingly well written and great to interact with (except you DAVID you deserved what you got and more) through the whole game. The combat was also very fun and decently challenging through the whole game. By far my fav thing about the combat is melee, there's just something about throwing a haymaker at an infected that really activates my neurons.

I recommend!! Can't wait for part 2 on PC fs
