re: The Last Of Us Part II Review Thread Metacritic: 95

I’m a big fan of taking the stealth approach in most games and feel like this and the first are really satisfying in that regard. Even if I got past an area I’d replay it a lot of times to try to do it better without being seen at all if possible.

I think a lot of folks got way overworked up about Abbys huge arms and Ellie/Dinas relationship.

I was aggravated I had to keep playing as Abby at first but, the suspense kept building to see how she’d end up back to the Ellie contribution. Liked the different weapons she got as well.

Having to battle Ellie was pretty cool.

The Ellie/Abby parallels were pretty cool too.
Ellie collected cards
Abby collected state quarters
Both father figures killed
Both lose friends at the hand of the other
They’re way more alike than they’d want to admit

Kinda touches on a theme Walking Dead explored a lot. In that had you followed the story from the other side’s perspective, it’s surprisingly easy to see the the original as the bad guy.

I don’t mind the ending. I thought the story was great. Get the feeling a lot of folks had their mind made up about this one long before playing it.
