I beat this game last night...
Amazing experience. This is how a survival horror game is supposed to be. There's just enough to make it through, but you definitely can't go guns blazing or you're toast. I don't think I've ever played a game where I actually cared about the characters making it. The atmosphere and the character development just immerses you in the game from start to finish. The tension that seems to be constant and always around the corner is real in this one.
I also enjoyed the somewhat realistic gameplay for how you craft items, and how you see everything that you're holding damn near on you back/backpack. I thought that was a dope touch.
One of the best games I've played in a while. Great job by Naughty Dog. And I haven't even tried the multi yet. Don't know when I'll get to it though, cause I told the lil bro I would let him borrow this one after I beat it.
