So I have a lot of interest in playing the games, and I did try once but like... I'm not good at gaming and the initial part was so intense I kept getting got by jump scares.
My husband is a big, big fan though and has been raving about this game and how amazing the storyline is since we got together so I know a fair bit and I've gotten to watch him play portions (although Kimothy, watching on Youtube is such a good idea too!!). So I knew what to expect to happen in episode 1 and yet... there were still tears. :')
The main casting though really was such a big draw too. Pedro Pascal is one of my favorite actors and I am very invested in his portrayal of Joel already! And Bella Ramsey I've only seen in Game of Thrones, but like... Lyanna Mormont was iconic. And Ramsey did not disappoint on my expectations with this first episode! I am SO excited for tomorrow night!
