    Not sure if there was just talk in other threads, just started this, it's a kinda mix of Daylight and Last of Us. Only really started, but not as impressed as thought I'd be.

    I hate all this different type of Zombies, although granted I may have only cam up on 2 so far, maybe 3. I prefer the slow moving, instead of the quicker ones.

    It is a bit of a slow burner of a game. I thought the beginning was fun, and it got better as it went on. Many other people thought it was crap at the beginning, but agree that it gets better later.

    I liked the kinda premise of it but thought it looked pretty crap in the review videos so never bothered with it. Seen it's pretty buggy as well.

    I bought it a month after release and played on the Pro, and never saw any bugs. The only thing that happened was some frame-rate drops in the latter stages of the game. The reviews were way off on this one, with IGN and Gamespot being particularly bad.

    It's been okay, a but same samey with missions. Story's are the thing that usually grab me so will see how that develops.

    I am playing through this just now(I got it off that Facebook marketplace still sealed for a score) and it has been brilliant. Maybe just so perfectly suited as my kind of game but I have loved it.

    I have had one or two very light bugs. One was a guy who was dead just floating in air but as if he was sitting on an invisible bike. Game is gorgeous looking too. The only complaints that come to mind is when he maybe comments on something that is being said but is saying it over the information you are still trying to hear. He(Your character) sometimes shouts his thoughts because you are on the bike so you can hear it but you might be sitting stationary. I love all the stealth invoved in the game, one that I think about quite a lot when I am not playing and always choking for a shot.

    Yeah it is good. I'm terrible with the hordes though I panic and start exploding things all over the gaff and running away.

    Did a mission to collect fertiliser and just kept on coming back to the horde and doing as much damage as I could until I withered them down.

    Story's went a bit out there mind you, but thought it would.

    Yeah I get that too, another minor gripe is he tends to shout to much when hes talking but again very small issues, I'm looking forward to the 2nd half of the game because apparently it really picks up.

    Might be ready to stick a hammer through the disc.

    Got to which maybe the final mission and the screen just goes black and nothing. I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens.

    Completed it, quite liked the ending, although as usual after you complete it a few things can be played too.

    Gonna try for a wee bit longer and believe there is a secret ending that comes up too.

    Rattled through this over the last week. Finished it earlier today.

    Don't understand the low scores it got from some places. Thought the characters were good, the story was interesting and the world itself was well put together. Pretty good combat as well with lots of options to use when fighting enemies.

    * hordes though.:giggle1: Only ones I fought were the essential ones in the story. It's a cool concept but I didn't enjoy doing it at all. That sawmill ones honestly took me about 45 mins because I kept running away then coming back to kill a dozen or so at a time.

    It doesn't need a sequel, but I'd like another game in that world.

    It got low scores because it was buggy as * when released. I think I played after it was a year out and been patched up. Should have just delayed the game til good. One of my faves from last gen. Defo with you on not needing another but I would welcome one. I loved the hordes, would very quickly get out of control with the sheer numbers, was exciting.

    Massively underrated game although I do think the game has a built a solid fanbase from the first game.
    I think a sequel is likely especially with how the first game ended and if they do make another I hope they move it to an urban city environment, adding that horde mode to a city with skyscrapers would have huge potential, imagine 'I am legend ' the game.

    Played it over the last couple of weeks and finished it. Got it free months ago on PS Plus.

    Massively underrated.

    Thought the story and character development was excellent. Gameplay is addictive too. Only negative I saw was some of the cutscenes being a bit weird and a lot of loading screens.

    Also had one or two bugs. One I was constantly on fire, taking no damage just the visual. Another part of the map wasn’t loading in so Sarah would fall down a hole and couldn’t progress. Just reloaded and it was fine.

    100% agree, completed it back in April and I absolutely loved it. Was really disappointing to find out the sequel had been cancelled.

    Actually preferred it to Horizon Zero Dawn, which I played shortly after.

    Posted before I got the proper ending too.

    Mental they aren’t pushing a sequel because that’s something excellent to build off.
