Story

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.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
136 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphical + Visual Fidelity - I cannot stress how beautiful this game looks, regardless of what graphics settings you play on.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements emotional moments without becoming overwhelming, resulting in consistently immersive presentation.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
