Today’s game is The Last of Us Part II. I made it all the way through Abby’s Day 2 today. The high up tower section scared the fuck out of me because, i too am afraid of heights, and getting near the edge started doing some fuck ass things to the camera that made everything look tall. I noticed even outside of this section it does it and Abby’s breath kind of hitches in fear. It’s a detail that i love. Really makes you experience Abby’s fear of heights.

They do a good job of building that idea that this building you’re climbing is going to be tall as fuck too. They give you a decent number of camera shots of the tower so tall up that it’s covered by fog. So suffice to say, Naughty Dog for sure did a good job scaring the fuck out of me with this one.

The Rat King (I had to google that name) boss fight was a tough one, because i was already low on Ammo, and the damage it dealt was insane. Cut through my HP like butter and i’m pretty sure direct hits could 1-shot me. After a ton of tries though and some luck, i managed to kill it. I hope no more of those fuckers exist.

One last thing i wanted to show was that i found this table with either Non copyright infringing D&D or Warhammer on it. I thought it was a cool thing to see. Definitely a good way to pass the time during the End of The World.

    Yeah I lowered the difficulty on some occasions during the game, the Rat King was one of them. The difficulty spikes were pretty rough, I wonder if this was intentional.

    I also had fun discovering the tabletop game. I enjoyed looking at other people’s homes in general.
