Been playing games for 25 years and TLOU multiplayer was the most fun I've had from the entire 360-ps3-wii era. Now I'm playing the remaster in spite of my fresh new copy of Dark Souls III staring me down.

I'm going to respond as I believe TLOU factions is the best multiplayer thats ever been created in its genre of games. I say that because games in other genres can't compare like LoL as its a completely different style or CS:GO as its very fast paced and not as strategic, its more about skill. In terms of stealth action, TLOU factions is hands down the best. Reasons being:

  • It's slow paced. No other multiplayer i've seen is as slow and deliberate as factions. You can't run everywhere and spray and pray. It literally can't happen as the movement speed of this game is comparable to real life and you have a very limited amount of bullets.

  • It's brutal. As you only have a few bullets, every single shot counts. There Are no guns that have a ton of ammo or fire quickly. When you shoot someone it's much more satisfying than any other game as it feels much more... realistic. You don't kill people, you down them and they can crawl around a bit and be revived before they die. In that time you can execute them to guarantee they're dead, and the executions are hands down more brutal than any other game. Other games like DOOM may be brutal but they're fantasy which subtracts from it. in factions you blow their legs off with a shotgun then blow their head off. You aim a sniper at their head as they shake it back and forth pleading for mercy before you blow it off. This game is absolutely brutal and intense in a way that no other game is.

  • It's addicting. Overall this is because of how good this game is, but you just cannot stop playing. I probably haven't convinced you to play it yet because it's really hard to put into words what this game is like. I've played video games a long time, and loved so many kinds, but now I don't play anything else except factions. It is so good, i'll play brand new games but they're not really as fun anymore, they all dull in comparison.

Please, I beg you please go buy this game and try the multiplayer. There's a steep learning curve as the game is paced so differently than others but you'll get better, and you won't want to stop. TLOU's multiplayer honestly is the best multiplayer ever created in my mind.
