4/5 ★ – TP5177's review of The Last of Us Part II Remastered.

This game early on took a turn I did not expect and I had a hard time accepting what they did. With that being said I thought the story lacked compared to the first one. However, I thought the overall game play and experience was better than the first and I found this one much scarier than the first. Playing as Abby…When I first started playing as her I hated it why am I playing as the girl who just killed Joel and why did they cut off at the peak of the story? But as I kept going I saw what they were trying to do. However majority of her missions were not fun but definitely picked up toward the end. I wasn’t a fan of me playing as Abby and fighting Ellie. After that experience and the cinematic scenes we go and try to get Abby that I wasn’t a fan of. I wasn’t a fan of Ellie’s decision to still try and kill Abby at the end. The last 5 minutes of cinematic was very emotional and hit hard at home…Overall I thought the overall gameplay was better than the first. I thought the story lacked but definitely had its moments but I thought it was more emotional than the 1st. I thought the game was scarier than the first and I’m curious how they will handle such a switch of character in S2 of the show for Ellie.
