Further develops the relationships built previously.
Explores tribalism and revenge, and blurs the lines of morality.
In The Last of Us 2, combat is more fluid but measured, taking into account not only how a character would approach a situation, but how their physicality informs their strengths and weaknesses, while small but vital improvements to weapon and skill upgrades allow for more control over your playstyle. However, with The Last of Us having been released seven years ago, there are plenty of welcome adjustments and additions to modernize what could, in the original game, often be a clunky experience. Infected still lurk in the shadows of desolate buildings, we're still presented with stunning, lost worlds that only offer pockets of exploration off the beaten track, and we again become emotionally tied to the beautifully developed characters laid before us. And it does so without submitting to the tropes we’re so used to seeing in games.īut this exploration of new ground doesn't mean that developer Naughty Dog has strayed from the core elements of the series. That’s down not only to the emotive and nuanced storytelling, which confidently exceeds the boundaries of what we know games can be, but in the way the game takes a critically-acclaimed formula and elevates it beyond what we could have imagined. Not only does it improve on its predecessor, but it trumps every PS4 game that has released this generation. The Last of Us 2 is a captivating masterpiece.
