    I 100% agree. TLOU is a very basic game, however it’s magnificently well put together.

    The core gameplay mechanics are very simple, but the AI of the enemies is great. The story is very derivative and unoriginal (right up until the last 5 minutes) but it’s extremely well told.

    All that said, The Last of Us Part 2 more than makes up for it. EVERYTHING is improved. The story is engaging, , well-told, and gripping. The gameplay is weightier and grounded and intense. There were so many times I forgot I was playing a game with zombies in it.

    If you can bare TLOU, it’s worth it for the context you get for playing the sequel.

      Totally agree. The gameplay on TLOU 2 is some of my favourite gameplay.

      TLOU 1 was amazing the first time when everything was a surprise. I enjoyed playing through it again on the remastered/ps5 version. But I’m also a huge zombie story fan in general.

      But getting to TLOU2… I didn’t have high expectations because online was so toxic about it, but I really enjoyed it. Much more than the first one.
