It's incredibly mid. Imagine Untiled Goose Game, but not as good. A simple 3D platformer with janky controls, grindy gameplay and annoying elements. There's fun to be had here since it is quite cute and also very short, but there's no replay value and it's definitely not worth the £20 asking price. I'd buy it for about £7/8 max.

I went into this hopeful. I played the demo and felt it was lackluster, I didn't really enjoy the motorbike section. The full game is the same, not innovative enough on the original in certain aspects and quite janky and buggy. I fell out of the map twice and I felt that there were controls that were missing or should have been implemented better. The story is boring, dull and confusing.
The bosses are lame and very similar, although I did find myself enjoying the fight with Dismantler. The final boss, Mitra, was terrible. Boring, way too long and repetitive, didn't even look or feel cool.
The enemy variety is small, feels like there were less enemies in this game than the first. a few interesting gameplay mechanics and enemies are added on the literal LAST LEVEL, so you don't get much use from them. Also, despite being longer than the first game, it felt shorter. Idk how they managed that.
What a disappointment, and the FRAME DROPS on pc are insane.

Terrible story but fantastic gameplay and a lot of content. Incredible visuals and soundtrack. Great looking guns, however the visual effects from things like shock, fire, and all the elemental explosions that happens cause the screen to be cluttered with colourful noise. The elemental effects definitely needed to be tuned back.

I don't think there has ever been a game that hates itself more than TLOU2. The graphics are stunning and environments are gorgeous, but the pathetic attempt of a revenge story and terrible characters makes this one of my least favourite games.
You'll noticed that I haven't rated this game half a star, even though I despise it with every fibre of my being. That's because it has genuinely great elements/moments, but the game is mostly about the story and it's so depressing, badly written and self-hating.
Pros:
• Beautiful graphics, attention to detail, gorgeous environments, a few great gameplay sections.
• The boss fight against Ellie is fantastic, and the rat king is great as well.
• Flashback sequences are, for the most part, great.
Cons:
• Joel's death is rushed, stupid, predictable and unrespectful #JoelDidNothingWrong
• Jesse gets thrown to the sidelines the whole game. As one of the only interesting and likable characters in the game, I was furious when he open a door and immediately get shot in the head and dies. He is literally never mentioned ever again, despite being a father, and nobody cared that he died.
• Tommy doesn't want revenge, then gets shot in the eye, then wants revenge and disowned Ellie when she says no. Then Ellie abandons her perfect life to get revenge, after literally just saying she didn't want to.
• Ellie slaughters hundreds and hundreds of innocent people and animals that she has literally never met JUST to get to Abby and kill her. Then at the end of the game, she has her fingers bitten off and suddenly decides that she should let Abby live. Then she goes back to an empty home and life, not even being able to play the guitar Joel gave her.
• Bigot sandwiches and lesbian small talk.
• There are a total of 2 changes to gameplay, being the ability to dodge and crawl. Really? It's been 7 years and you couldn't find any way to spice up the gameplay?
• The game tries so hard to make you like Abby and hate Ellie. Fuck off.
• 12 hours of Ellie, then we jump to 12 hours of Giagantor where we do the exact same shit except we get better guns and gameplay sections (i.e Rat King), but we don't give a shit about any of the supporting characters since we know that all Abby's friends die, and then the other characters that we never met also die. What a fucking joke.
• This is a zombie game. You spend more time slaughtering humans that than you do even being near infected. Also, there's 2 new infected types that you see about 3 times in the whole game across both stories.
• The whole story with Yara, Lev and whoever the fuck else was utterly retarded.
Naughty Dog don't like the word "fun"? Wow, I never could have guessed...
