NO OTHER GAME DEVELOPER HAS MASTERED SOFTNESS™ QUITE LIKE NAUGHTY DOG AND HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITE EXAMPLES:
- giraffe scene in tlou
- when nate and elena kiss in the mud in uc4
- driving into new devon with elena and all the ambient sounds fade so it’s just that super gentle piano music and your own muffled sobs
- honestly any of the new devon scenes featuring nate’s stumbling remorse and elena’s tired sadness
- ellie and joel’s quiet banter as they explore softly lit ruins and long-abandoned towns
- elephant ride in the lost legacy
- nadine’s gentleness when chloe talks about her father
- exploring the cluttered domesticity of nate & elena’s house (both times) while music plays softly in the background
ANYWAY I CAN’T BELIEVE NAUGHTY DOG INVENTED EMOTIONS AND ALSO FEEL FREE TO RELOG THIS WITH YOUR FAVOURITE SOFT™ NAUGHTY DOG SCENES
