The Last Of Us Part II - OT (No Spoilers) - PlayStation 4 (PS4) Forum - Page 25
@LN78 interesting stuff. I loved the sequel… quite a bit more than the original as it goes. I found the story beautiful yet quite simple in The Last of Us. While I found the sequels narrative ugly and emotionally complex (in a good way). I do love how we all get such varying reactions from the same product though.
As with most of my reactions, I honestly think that my expectations going in had a big bearing on my feelings at the end. I played The Last of Us Part 2 around 18 months after it’s releases and as a result, I went in very weary having heard all the hate. Conversely, I went in to the original back in 2013 having heard it was the greatest game ever made. Neither were true imho yet both examples of public perception probably had an impact on my eventual experience.
I went into the sequel very tepid… never having really been a fan of linear, heavily narrative-focused games, yet I finished it in awe. Straight into my top 5 games ever (though it was just nudged out by Elden Ring, which went straight in as my ggoat).
