I line Naughty Dog games, but they aren’t always perfect. I absolutely could not ever see myself replaying Uncharted 3. Holy shit. But Uncharted 2 and 4? Of course. Hell, even the remaster of the first game is fun, but falls about in the same vein as Uncharted 3, to be honest.
For what it is, the Last of Us games are fun. Specifically the first one. The combat and UI systems are far better in the sequel though. There are things you can do in TLOU2 that would never be possible in Part 1. Despite the horrendous handling of Joel, the game turned out fun. The social dialogue nonsense is whatever at this point. I’m just hoping it’s not so in-your-face in the next game.
