What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Even though it's become acceptable over the years, I just to mention anyway that I am one of the people who genuinely enjoyed the story from start to finish.
Thankfully it didn’t seem to happen during combat, and I played long sections without any stuttering, but it was very noticeable while exploring some parts of the world.
From new additions like crouching and going prone in grass to new weapons and equipment that Ellie and Abby can craft, the game feels a LOT more brutal and arguably difficult than the first game, since they throw so many enemies and things at you.
Graphical + Visual Fidelity - I cannot stress how beautiful this game looks, regardless of what graphics settings you play on.
The soundtrack complements emotional moments without becoming overwhelming, resulting in consistently immersive presentation.
Good selection of weapons for both Ellie and Abby and unique encounters throughout the story, enemy AI is overall coded well which was a feature that I definitely noticed when completing the main story and the roguelike mode, No Return, on grounded difficulty.
