Careful with quick resume. I left my game hidden in some long grass. Went back to the game to a dead screen.
For some reason when I used quick resume the first few times it was fine the last time everything looked like it was running at a lower res and blurry so I closed the game and restarted it and that fixed it.
 
I'm still having the same issue I had with the first game which I expected, I can't stand the main characters voices and that scream when she dies drives me crazy. The gameplay isn't particularly fun either, it's slow and plodding and just feels clumsy again just like the last game so I expected that as well. It's a good-looking game (not close to the best-looking game on current gen consoles though) they have some cool set pieces and the feeling of suspense that's created at times is really well done. I am on chapter 5 right now, I did like the first game because of the story and way it was presented even if the two main characters voices annoyed me, hopefully I get to the point
where more weapons become available
soon and maybe it'll be more fun to play at that point.
 
My main issue with the first game is the game turns into action & twitch skill precise timing game for what I think should be an environmental puzzle, story-driven game.

I read some threads & many gamers are pissed at the end boss that is way over the top in what is essentially what expect as an adventure game.

Finished it today, much like the first game I really enjoyed the story overall but found a lot of the gameplay to feel clumsy and the main character voices to be annoying. They weren't as annoying in this game as the first one to me, the acting was really well done, there is nothing wrong with the actors it's just their voices get to me for some reason.

They need to tighten up the gameplay if this series goes any further, not sure if they want to move on or make this a trilogy but she should feel more responsive and please move on from that sling and get her to use a crossbow as her main weapon or a bow and arrow.
 
I am playing now on Gamepass. The game looks amazing. A few chars look slightly different, Alicia, & her mom for reasons...

In the original game, Alicia has a softer more feminine look. The nose change is most noticeable. I got she is still a team & is growing up, but its just 6 months between the game.
Obviously, the sequel also has more details, so the artist sculpted in more details & make her more "realistic" but make her lose her "innocence". Its a small nitpick but a noticeable change. Maybe the artist just watched prequal rerun & really love Natalie Portman.

23% XSX advantage over PS5.

That's pretty interesting. Wondering if this is a possible trend or just a one off kind of thing?

Next year will be the big year to see these comparisons as last gen gets killed off (hopefully).
 
Play through the intro... the stealth.... nope, still not for me lol
I think I understand you. Often I hope this can be a chill solve some enviroment puzzle game instead of Metal Gear solid COD wannabe.

YES!

I only made it to the 3rd chapter and uninstalled it last year. 30fps killed it for me (motion sickness) even though it was one of the few games I was looking forward to last year.

Enjoy.

I thought it was a great game. Beautiful too(@30fps anyway).

You can tell they really put some thought into the best way of doing 60fps.



Most won't notice the trade off when playing.
