I passed to all the parts of One of us and that's what I realized...

Once upon a time, since the release of part 1 on the curling iron, I fell in love with the world of One of us. And the long-awaited sequel was even more awaited. It caused a storm of emotions, anger and delight. What happened after all these years? Both parts finally reached my hands and I felt the whole world of history. And I experienced those emotions again. Only with my own hands. Neil Druckman is a genius, of course.

Further spoilers, which is logical because the review.

The story of One begins with Joel, a man who has a daughter. And suddenly, one day, everything changed. The zombie apocalypse began and his daughter died in his arms. And after that, the world takes us into an already intense world where Joe and his partner take on the task of guiding a certain girl to the Cicadas. Which eventually leads us to a series of events.

Gameplay: Everything is extremely simple. We walk linearly through the city and look for loot or ammo. He protects himself with them. Sometimes there are open locations where we read notes and look for hiding places. It's really interesting in some places, thanks to the design and the characters. It's really stressful for you without bullets and for the heroine, since she's just a ballast at the beginning. But then she helps a lot. Well, accordingly, in the game you can wet everyone or, like a Hitman, study locations for hours so as not to spend anything. And sometimes it is necessary. Especially when you're alone and the horror starts. That's where you start thinking. That makes you want to explore the world much more.

There are a lot of weapons here. From conventional guns to grenades and mines. Everything is dangerous and kills often from 1 time. However, the same nutcrackers kill the hero from the first. Therefore, there is no way to delay.

Result: 

The script is definitely a masterpiece. From the zombies themselves that evolve to fungal monsters (and different types are different dangers). Up to, respectively, enemies with whom it's just fun to exchange fire. The brutality here is very realistic. The characters are not simple, but ambiguous. You understand both Joe and Ellie, who eventually knows who she will become and what she will do. And then the script gave her a gameplay where there is more danger. And the heroine herself has experienced a lot here. And Joe himself, instead of grumbling at her, will become her father for real. 

Well, the ending here caused a storm of everything. Was it worth sleeping with a man or leaving everything and saving the world (maybe). I personally support Joe, because it further reveals to us how much the character is changing and not just there. If Ellie had called him father even once, I would have completely melted.

10/10

Plot:

The second part continues the story of the characters who survived many events. But Joe's brothers stayed in town. And time takes us back to the matured Ellie. That she's mad at Joe for something, finds love and friends, and then begins to take revenge. And then suddenly, in the second part of the game, the culprit of the celebration is revealed to us.

Gameplay:

Briefly. All the same locations, loot, ammo, upgrades (I forgot if they were in the first part). And weapon modification. She was in the first one, but in the second one, I notice that in some places it didn't really give me anything. Well, the world has become a little bigger. There's more variety and creepy places in some places. And new monsters.

Opinion about the differences:

Ellie is a cruel revenge. Therefore, we are going through a dangerous path. I've been through a lot with my girlfriend, Ellie. There are some very interesting skirmishes. But otherwise it's standard action, solid, and even for me it seemed like we were straight Rambo. But, at the same time, the creators stuffed very little summer for Ellie. Where all the time you're looking for something and there's little point in wasting time. There were safes and small puzzles in places that were just weird and didn't make sense to study because there were almost always a couple of rounds and the same loot to create.

Moreover, there were more dangerous enemies here, and in places I was just twitching. Therefore, loot is one of the disadvantages of the game. I'll discuss the second big one in the end. Well, Ellie's story is wow at the beginning, but at the end it causes a storm of emotions. You keep throwing your hand in your face as you walk. The heroine went through all that... let go. She also became more negative and filthy here. Why? Well, if it's with Joe, it's understandable and there are zero questions. But in the story with Abby, you realize that she's being humiliated here. Like you've killed so many, remember? But in vain, he is also people. And that's debatable. As a result, another half hour and an hour of playing gave almost nothing extra. Only made it worse. We'll talk about that later, too.

Abby:

If you look at it as a story of revealing the character and the world. Overall, it's not bad. Even great. But if it's like a whole story. No, that's not good. It's clear that we haven't been killing such bad people all this time. They have their own society and relatives. In Abby's case, for example, we killed Joe's father, and as a result, this leads to a chain of revenge. Where you can't leave anyone. And this is an important topic in history. But Abby's story doesn't justify it. Her father is taking a risk, yes. But the man will die. Oh, okay, but we'll save the world.... uh.....maybe. Because for me, it doesn't betray a strong desire for her to worry. And her friends are more pleasant. And that's not always the case.

The locations are just as ambiguous. And even then, I still didn't feel sorry for them in the end. Yes, there were also 2 children that Abby herself took care of. This is the most interesting, but banal part. Where he saved her, and she got into them. As a result, one died, and the other (the other) almost also dies in fact (I will also explain in the end). Which leads us to the open ending, where Abby is killed off-screen, but not by Ellie's hands, but by a bite. Like she doesn't deserve the tin. As a result, the anger of the fans and anger at the injustice. Was it worth it?

Result:

As a result, we get mixed emotions. I have practically described the 2 big disadvantages. This is the script. Where in places it was worth changing something or changing it and in the end we would get something more. If you had made the game first without telling the story of Joe and Ellie, we would have understood something more. And even then, in the same part, you're still worrying about our heroes. Not a new one. And minor problems are annoying in some places. As a result, Ellie doesn't go through the arch but accepts everything. And Abby, as it is clear, dies off-screen because of the bite. The guy who says important words at one point in the game also dies - without you, I will die. And he's still exhausted and without everything. 

On the one hand, I'm closed to a lot of things, because it's the scenario that still makes the game tense and catchy. From the death of one main character to the very finale where there is a topic to discuss. The action and skirmishes are still well done. And the horror has become scarier. Especially in the hospital moment and the moment in the abandoned building. It smelled a little harsh. And that's why I'll leave an assessment.

10/10

About the series:

I was really waiting. Recently, season 2 also came up. First, about 1. He's good. In some places, they tried to reveal more moments. But the finale seemed too fast. Although everything went well at first. But in the end, I still got a good story and atmosphere. And about the caste... Well, Pascal has charisma. And I personally don't hate Ellie. The appearance is a mystery. And the acting is standard. I haven't experienced anything terrible. Maybe a little more horror wasn't enough. But that's not the point. Season 2 and episode 1 still show the problem of the series. This is a miskast. Ellie has grown up. But if there's a wah in the game, what a strong woman. Where it's even a pity to touch her for Abby is here...

It's like Ellie is still the same child, but her habits haven't changed. And her aggression is ridiculous. And the sudden sympathy from Isabella Merced looks more like she feels sorry for her. Although the game really has a vayfu girl that everyone wants for themselves. And in the series, her words sound funny. And look at the castes. Abby the fragile was in the game, of course. But according to the series, I don't think the actress will pump her biceps, they won't suit her. And Ellie's girlfriend is even more beautiful than in the game. The question is why it wasn't possible with Ellie. The actress from the Last Alien is the perfect Ally for season 2. Everything else could have been forgiven. But...

Otherwise, everything is gorgeous in detail. Unless they expand and supplement the story again. But whether he will kill Joe and whether there will be such an ending is a question. Whether such an Ellie is suitable for him is not.

8.8/10

The overall result:

Everything that I described in the beginning is like this. This is one of those ways to show the world and the story and add a simple gameplay that will hold and improve. Moreover, a survival bagel was added to the 2 parts. Where else can you reveal comments, bonuses, mods and much more. I felt the story, the good director, and the world I would definitely return to. But the question is, will we return to it?

Part 3 is already coming with hints. He said they wanted to continue the series. But, according to rumors, the 2nd part of the game has already been divided into seasons. This means that they may have forgotten about it or are preparing an announcement. And there were even rumors about a new story. Where there will be many characters. What I'm waiting for right now. But will Ellie and the others be brought back? If we go back, it might be a bad sign for us (knowing the sequel). But we are definitely waiting for it.
