Part 2 surpasses part 1 in every aspect, the way it has made me feel both during and after playing it is crazy. ND has raised the bar yet again but in a very different way this time. It was well written in my opinion. There is never a hero or villain in the world of the last of us so this was the most honest story ND could have told. It’s most likely what would’ve happened was it real life but if you are a fan of the first game, this story will hurt you emotionally (that is what it’s intended to do). This is why you’ll see a lot of hate for this game but each to their own. Don’t get me started on the incredible visuals and music.
