By far this game is a 5/5. I immediately fell in love with the original “The Last Of Us” upon playing it many years ago. It’s in my top 5 games ever personally I have played and although I don’t think TLOU2 is better. It’s still a very good game. The story and gameplay had me immersed and very tense throughout. Yes, they took very many shocking turns in the game as far as character deaths but I agree completely with the direction they went. If you are a real fan of TLOU. You will enjoy this game.
