💾Graphics - This game has truly incredible visuals! I'd have to say this game looks slightly more improved than the First Last of Us game. The gore and animations are realistic, amazing lighting and environments, and so many stunning set pieces. The only thing I'd say the first Last of Us game did better, was the dense and detailed environments. I just feel like they did a better job and feels much more claustrophobic and believable. Speaking of animations, I love how realistic the expressions and emotions feel in the cutscenes. Honestly this whole game is like a cinematic experience.
🎮Gameplay - The gameplay is grim, challenging, and grounded. I love the stealth mechanics and just how brutal the combat is. Every encounter requires great strategy in harder difficulties and with how smart the AI can be, it can make the experience that much more realistic and grounded. You can upgrade your weapons and characters through finding scrap around the world, and finding important books that become very vital with improving your characters throughout the story. Ammo is scarce in this game too, so you can go guns blazing on every encounter which I actually like. Stealth is vital. Being able to crawl in tall grass, hide in the shadows and wait for the right time to strike feels incredibly satisfying. The game has extra clothes and unlockables too. For example once you beat the game, you unlock the ability to use new outfits, weapon skins, play with filters on and unlock new game+! You also unlock new game modes which add a new layer of enjoyment.
📜Story - SPOILERS!! The story is good. I actually enjoyed it for the most part. Now I will say that I did not like how they did Joel here. Playing the first game and seeing how smart he was just didn’t make sense with how they did things here. I don’t know, maybe he got too comfortable and let his guard down. But I still just hated it. I also just didn’t care about Abby! She was kinda interesting, but there was no connection or excitement to progress her story like how I felt with the first game. It also sucks that her side of the story takes like over half the game length. Also Ellie just was kinda..Meh?? The last part playing Ellie was not that interesting at all, which sucks. I really enjoyed the first half of the game though, but the second half fell hard, especially with pacing.
🕛Playtime - This game takes around 20+ hours to complete. You also have New Game+, new game modes and filters to play with. So you are looking at around maybe 50+ hours or so.
🎧Sound - The sound design is superb! I mean the voice acting is so top tier. Everyone did such a good job with their performance. The enemies sound just as creepy as the first game, and I love the dialogue with the bandits and other enemies in the game. It sounds realistic and truly immersive. The music scores are also really good and just completes the game for me.
❗Bugs❗- I haven’t really encountered any bugs worth reporting on here.
🔅Performance - Performance is so good! I was playing on near max settings with DLSS And frame gen x2 and was getting a solid 250+ fps. The game felt super smooth, no input lag or crashes. Also looked really sharp.

🏆Rating - 8/10
This game is worth full price, but if you are patient then wait for a sale.
🔗Conclusion - I really enjoyed this game and the story, despite some issues I have with it. The gameplay is incredible, I love the character performances here and enjoyed the extra game modes and bonuses you unlock after beating the game. This is a solid sequel, I just wish the story was better put together. If you played the first game, then give this a try. If you have not played the first game, then please play that game first so you can experience the complete story.
