Fun and challenging game? Yes. Beautifully designed? Yes. Does it live up to its hype? IMHO no. Is it worth checking out for yourself to make your own opinion? Absolutely. Does it involve political (not so subtle) political undertones? Absolutely. The Last of Us Part Two has tons of new landscapes and challenges that the first one did not offer. Naughty Dog made an attempt to take TLOU in a completely new direction, but in my opinion, they did that by sacrificing the characters we’ve learned to love in part 1. Did I hate part 2? Absolutely not, but I do feel like the story could have gone in a different direction without destroying everything we loved about Joel and Ellie. But hey, I’m not a game developer, I’m just a guy who plays them. Give this game a chance, even if you hate the story, you’ll enjoy the gameplay.
