Generally speaking, I'm not really a fan of Zombies (or the undead), in either movies or in games in which they are the main antagonist.

Which is probably why I gave this a miss when it was first released, only picking it up when it was released on PS Plus.

(Yes, I know the Freakers are never called Zombies but, let's face it, that's what they really are).

I have to say that, while slow starting, the story in this open world game was actually quite enjoyable, with Sam Witwer doing a particularly fine job as the protaganist Deacon St John, the former outlaw biker who you play as in this post apocalyptic world.

Freaker horde missions, though? Not a fan.

(I preferred sneaking around, or the occasional gunfight)

MYCARUBA
Got this game on PS Plus and one day randomly decided to download and play it when I was having a duvet day.
It didn't start off well as I continuously died, but it just made me want to keep trying and trying and trying. This game got seriously addictive, seriously fast.
When I met buddy (who I just kept calling Lester as I was convinced this was his name. NO idea why...) I was even more hooked. Now I had a Buddy to help me along the way.
The game is a remaster and there was an option to swap the graphics to nice and old skoool pixelated and to more refined look of the remaster.
Managed to complete the whole game in one day but I highly recommend this game to anyone. Its strange, kind of whimsical, kind of dark and very fun. :)
But also, I can't stop randomly saying: "Mycaruba!"

The sequel I didn’t know I needed
Review POSTSCRIPT was the sequel I never thought I needed. Let’s face it, PS I Love You finished in a good place and so it has existed for over a decade. I was worried that book two would sully the good memories I have of book one, I was worried it would disappoint, it did none of these things.

Holly was seven years down the line from Gerry’s death, living her life, happy, in a relationship and officially in a different phase of her life from when she recceived the original letters. I wondered where Cecelia Ahern would take us, without harping back to the experiences of the first book too much but Gerry’s letters were used for good, to empower others.

What I liked about Holly in this book was that she was still a bit of a hot mess. She didn’t have it all together, even after all this time, showing this was just a personality trait. What I also loved reading about was Holly’s grief for Gerry and the life she lost. The grief that shone through was dulled down but with occasional acuteness and this seemed real.

The quest that Holly went on alongside others in her PS I Love You club was a journey. I had my reservations about it just like her boyfriend, friends and family but I was won around by those characters of Bert, Genika and Jewel especially. I made it to 88% rather smugly thinking that ‘I’ve not cried, I wont now’… and then proceeded to sob twice before the end.

“…ultimately, it’s all anyone wants. Not to get lost, or left behind, not to be forgotten, to always be a part of the moments they know they’ll miss. To leave their stamp. To be remembered.”

Cecelia Ahern wrote about the journey towards death and the grief that ensues with sensitivity and tangibility. She also wrote it in an uplifting style. She connected me to the characters and narratives with skill and affection. I am so glad that this second instalment came along and made it seem as though no years had passed since the last book.
