I have completed both โthe last of usโ and โthe last of us part 2โ twice each on different difficulty settings and I can tell you that the second game is superior in several catalories including plot. They are both captivating and exciting and honestly beautiful games but unfortunately the sequel has been given a bad wrap and itโs due to desire left by the first game to see Ellie and Joelโs relationship continue to evolve.
Without giving any spoiler I will tell all those considering playing the sequel that Ellie and Joelโs relationship does evolve in an unexpected and energetic way. Iโm a huge fan and though the plot was an emotional roller coaster I was in no way disappointed.
Five star review from this guy.
