The Last Of Us Part II is the long-awaited sequel to Naughty Dog's PS3 hit. Was it worth the wait? JDR joins Ellie on an extraordinary and divisive journey in today's review.
The Last of Us Part 2's Rattlers may have received a comeuppance with Ellie's arrival in Santa Barbara, but the faction could still be of some use.
CG says: In this video, we take a look at the same forest section on horseback in The Last of Us™ Part II Remastered that we showcased in 2020 on the PS4 Pro. It’s an amazing bit of exposition with not much happening aside from a bit of banter. However, taking it slowly rather than galloping past, the forest graphics are actually pretty detailed. One of the more beautiful moments from the game. PS4 Pro version holds-up pretty well (that output was upscaled 4K and back then, there was no DLSS or AI interventions that we know about).
TSA reviews The Last of Us Part II PC port.
That seemed like a really fair review.
(Spoilers!)
Being forced to play as Abby for that long and trying really hard to make us sympathize with her was one of the more excruciating experiences of my gaming life. She's not likable at all.
Everything was playing out like a classic until the Abby sections started. Hate it even more knowing there were some cool moments that would've been way more enjoyable were we playing as Ellie.
And that ending... screw that ending.
