The Last of Us Part II Remastered

NOTE! I encourage you to play The Last of Us Part 1 first, as the events of the first game are a continuation of the adventures My review will, of course, include comparisons to The Last of Us Part 1! My review of the first game can be found here https://steamcommunity.com/id/KINGVikingBezimienny/recommended/1888930/ Action adventure game with survival elements. The story takes place several years after the events of the first game, in a world devastated by a fungal epidemic that transforms people into aggressive creatures. The player primarily assumes the role of Ellie, who embarks on a brutal journey motivated by revenge. This is the best adventure game I've ever played! Why? You'll find the answer in the arguments below ✅Once again, I'll describe what I really liked about the first game and what was expanded in the second game, primarily Ellie and Abby's relationships with other characters in The Last of Us Part II, who they were involved with, and how these relationships influence the events of most of the game ✅In my opinion, the plot was more interesting, surprising, and better than in the first game. It was great that we could experience both sides of the story: the ability to play from the perspective of Ellie [spoiler] ,who was seeking revenge (for Joel's death) and at one point had to face the consequences of her decisions, and Abby, who was seeking revenge for her father's death.[/spoiler] Later in the game, quite unexpectedly, both characters finally meet in the same place, leading to a fight. The game had plenty of plot twists for the supporting characters, which I also really liked ✅In terms of graphics, it's once again excellent and better than in the first game. The game has more detailed character models, more realistic facial and movement animations, better lighting, denser foliage, and more refined weather effects and environmental physics. Thanks to this, the characters' facial expressions and behavior more effectively convey their emotions, both in cutscenes and during gameplay ✅The sound is also superior to the first game, although it was already excellent in The Last of Us Part 1. Thanks to the more advanced surround sound, it's easier to pinpoint the origin of enemy and infected sounds. Gunshots, impacts, and explosions sound more natural and realistic. The sound better responds to the environment (echoes, muffled sounds in buildings, creaking buildings, and birdsong). ✅The shooting is well-done because weapons have realistic recoil, and each weapon reacts differently (of course, we can upgrade them for more precise recoil, but that's in the next section). Each shot can affect enemies' reactions through noise, and they know exactly where you fired ✅This part of the game also features an upgrade system. In the workshop, we can upgrade various things, such as larger magazine capacity, faster reloads, better accuracy, or reduced noise (this applies to the silenced pistol). While exploring, we also collect supplements that unlock skill trees like stealth, crafting, health, or weapon upgrades ✅Another advantage, better crafted than in the previous installment, is the more atmospheric and detailed locations, primarily centered around Seattle, which is vast, diverse, and changes with the weather and the story. Compared to the first installment, the locations are more extensive and open, allowing us to search for notes or resources, or find hidden workshops or safes ✅Two distinct character personalities: Ellie, who, after certain events in the game that I won't spoil, is more emotional, impulsive, and often acts on anger, while Abby Anderson is more disciplined, pragmatic, and usually tries to think more rationally ✅We have 6 difficulty levels in the game (Very easy, easy, moderate, hard, survival, brutal). As the difficulty level increases, enemies become more alert and accurate, and resources become more limited ✅New monsters have been added to those from The Last of Us 1 (Runners, Lurkers, Clickers, and Bloaters). "Shamblers" have also been added, which spray clouds of acid gas around them, damaging and blinding them and exploding upon death. A giant boss, the "Rat King," consisting of numerous infected creatures fused together with mycelium, has also been added. New faction, the Rattlesnakes, has emerged, and they are the only human faction to use Clickers and Runners as tools of torture and defense ✅New moves have been added in the second installment, such as dodging and crawling under obstacles, as well as stronger melee attacks (especially for Abby), and improved enemy intelligence ✅The game also contains notes, letters, journals and other documents left by people after the epidemic (I recommend looking for them, we can learn more about what happened during the epidemic, unfortunately I missed some somewhere Xd), as well as collector's cards, coins, training manuals that unlock new branches of skills and safes that may contain resources or upgrades ✅The game's price is appropriate for the game's content ✅After completing the game, you can see the behind-the-scenes of the game's development and other unlockable features After completing the game, you can see the behind-the-scenes of the game's development and other unlockable features ✅❌How Here everyone always has to decide for themselves whether they like such games because the game is linear in terms of plot and often provides large, semi-open locations to explore, especially in Seattle ❌What I didn't like about the first game, and the second, is that we can't go back to the previous location to explore other areas. Sometimes I'd open a door thinking it led to an optional room, only to find it was a transition to the next stage of the story, with no way to go back and finish exploring ❌Another drawback is that some items, such as gadgets, are unlocked after completing the game, such as additional weapon skins and attachments ✅✅ Verdict: [strike] Terrible [/strike] , [strike] Bad [/strike] , [strike] Mediocre [/strike] , [strike] Decent [/strike], [strike] Good [/strike] , [strike] Very Good [/strike] , [strike] Excellent [/strike] , [b] Masterpiece [/b] [quote] If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45994324/admin/reviews_manage/]CuratorKingViking[/url] and on my group: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CuratorKingViking]GroupKingViking[/url] If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask.

Hated this game at release and was homophobic towards its content and story and i didn't even have the occasion to play it back then, glad i've grew up and played it right now, it easily became one of my favourite games.

A life-changing game and easily one of the top 5 games of all time. A perfect 10/10 in every possible way — from the story, gameplay, and atmosphere to the emotional impact, everything is flawless and on another level. 🔥❤
