Charles writes: What we see in The Last of Us 2 is the repercussions of these choices. Joel and Ellie live in relative peace for a few years within Tommy’s settlement but, like with most of us in life, their past catches up to them. A sequel was always going to be risky since the ambiguity of the first game’s ending is what made it so impactful. The Last of Us 2 feels like it does enough to warrant taking the risk of tainting the original ending but it does not stick the landing with the same success as the first game.
The development of the The Last of Us Part II PC port has been complete since November 2023, according to a reliable insider
... and the water's wet
But I'd prefer the Uncharted trilogy port over this one, tbh
Just porting Uncharted 4 and 4.5 to PC was not the best idea.
The game's huge marketing budget has worked out for it, bringing in $2 billion revenue in its first 10 months of release.
I think it's about time for government agencies to step into mobile gaming and look around, this is shit.
A new The Last of Us 2 documentary reveals that Naughty Dog almost made a different version of the PS4 and PS5 game similar to Bloodborne.
Kind of a misleading comparison. They were simply talking about the game being melee oriented and more of an open world. I wouldn't compare a game to a soulslike based on that.
A more melee oriented Last of Us 2 would've been so much better imo. The combat mechanics barely got any use from me cause everyone just shoots at you, and then the Scars with their bows are even more annoying. Level design was also more Bloodborne, and I love the level design in Souls game, there's a real sense of scale and exploration due to the branching paths. We really gotta move away from open world in the style of GTA and BoTW and do it more like Souls.
Def did good with their own thing I'm so over the whole copy souls combat sheesh I can dee if in certain games it would be bosses that looked like a souls boss but straight out copying the combat and feel takes away from a game that supposed to be its own lol
This is a well written review, it offers where the review felt the pacing was off and gave reasons why the reviewer felt the story lacked the same amount of depth as the first one and it didn't come with any pretentious attempts at witty comparisons.
However, I almost stopped reading after the 3rd paragraph, as the reviewer discredited his or her own work. Why should I trust your review? But I gave it the benefit of the doubt and kept going.
This review is a solid 8.5/10
