Incredible experience, you must play the game to appreciate the journey. This is not a Last of Us 1.2 and that is a good thing. Naughty Dog took a risk and in my opinion, they succeeded.
Worth the $60 unless you're expecting a rehash of the first game. It is a challenging, mature, and thoughtful story that pushes the mark for single-player games for years to come.
I highly recommend it.
