![]() If you think Call of Duty is too violent for them, this is worse. They simply aren’t equipped to deal with this. This is yet again another reason not to let kids play this game. In TLOU 2, Naughty Dog plays with us gamers and puts us in a tough spot, emotionally speaking. If someone finds a body, they’ll scream their names Evie, Robert, Kevin, Jorge, Drew, Charlotte, Maggie, etc. For instance, all the people and dogs you’ll encounter have a name. One thing that will strike you as you play Part II is how personal the game will become. Fighters on both sides have lost all notions of why they’re fighting and are consumed with fear and hatred of the other side.īoth the WLF and Serafites have ‘decorated’ the streets of Seattle with recruitment propaganda over the years. ![]() The Serafites (or Scars), a group of religious fanatics who reject everything from the old world and believe that the pandemic originated from humanities’ sins.īoth factions have been engaged in a deadly conflict that’s been raging on for years.The WLF (for Washington Liberation Front), a dissident armed group similar to the Fireflies from the first episode that managed to defeat the army in Seattle.Talking about conflict, you’ll cross paths with two dangerous factions as you play the game: And you will learn that meaningless actions, or actions you thought secondary, can have immense consequences. The Last of Us Part II shines a light on the ravages of revenge and how it can consume whoever enters this dangerous circle. When entering spore-infested locations, you will automatically have to wear a mask to protect yourself (or at least, most characters will have to). In TLOU, however, people can also get sick when breathing spores released by those who have been infected for a long time. Like in many undead games, books, and movies, the infection spreads through bites. There’s no hope.Įverything is here to remind you of what the world use to be and how it fell – from abandoned city environments to mushrooms spreading deadly spores in moldy basements. The world has gone wild.Ĭities have fallen. Of course, TLOU is no happy game, and the illusion of happiness you’ll get from the beginning will be taken away from you soon enough (trust me, you’ll know when it happens). It has also been five years since Part I, after Joel and Ellie made it back to Jackson, a small town where people try to live as normally as they can, despite the new state of the world. The year is 2038, or 25 years after a mysterious fungal disease took over the world. What’s more, this review contains a couple of spoilers from the first episode.

TLOU 2 made me sad, angry, sick, and it even made me cry. ![]() Never before a game had such an effect on me. I know we’re all different, and some of you might even complete the game without feeling a thing (you monsters), but I was genuinely shaken by it. ![]() If you’re claustrophobic, you might want to reconsider. You’ll occasionally be dragged into very confined environments. Humanity is dying, and people will do anything to survive. I firmly believe that no one under 18 should play this game.Īs you move forward in the game, you’ll be exposed to the horror of post-apocalyptic life. I’m opening this review with a warning because TLOU 2 exposes gamers to physical and psychological violence horrors. The Last of Us Part II is not a game you want to put in every hand. 18+ only: A memorable adventure for a very mature public Is the second episode living up to the origins of the saga? Answer in this late but comprehensive SPOILER-FREE review of The Last of Us: Part II. When the first episode was released on the PlayStation 3 back in 2013, Naughty Dog had already sent a clear message to the rest of the industry in short, the first TLOU was fantastic.
