i don't know a whole lot about video games, graphics, audio, but i still have a lot of appreciation for this game. when the first one came out i didn't have a PS3 to play it on so i watched gameplays on youtube. by the time i got a PS3 and the game it was useless because i knew every single second of the game. when i heard last of us 2 was coming out i was successful in staying 100% spoiler free, i only knew what we saw in the trailers. as many say about the game, it didn't go in the direction we wanted, but i enjoyed every bit of the story. as someone who doesn't play much games i really struggled with some of the puzzles and fight scenes, even on the lower difficulties. i really appreciated the challenge, and it kept me 100% engaged. as frustrating as it was sometimes, i loved how there was barely any breaks from fight to fight, the whole game just felt like one thing after the next, after the next. it really drew me in and made me feel like i was the character in the moment.
i highly reccomend this game to those like me who like video games but aren't hardcore pros like some :)
