The Last of Us Part II is a technical wonder. Naughty Dog made full use of the PlayStation 4’s and Pro’s power!
The voice acting is incredibly strong, the motion capture is pure quality, the graphics and animations are on top and the soundtrack is bombastic.
Most importantly, the story didn’t completely resonate with me, personally. Some directions felt like they were forced and a few characters were written out of character. Sometimes, when they brought up some topics like Lev being a transgender, they didn’t even scratch the surface and I think that is wasted potential.
The gameplay was rather simple and easy, not exactly my cup of tea, but it’s still fun.
One of the best things of this game is its accessibility. It was possible for a blind player to platinum this game and I think that is something each and every single game should at least TRY to accomplish.
EDIT after a replay:
The story resonated with me a lot more, so I’ll give this game 1.5 extra stars.

That’s why, actually. The most important things about games like these are story and gameplay and these weren’t enjoyable enough for more than 2 stars.
