I will say I think the sequel was justified in how much more they added gameplay wise, taking advantage of advancements in processing power. It really opens up the world, the things you can do and see are incredible and are a huge jump from the first game.

This some good shit

2 also manages to improve on the gameplay in big ways, hardly a moment that isn’t engaging and interesting and I never felt limited, and some very cool and atmospheric settings.

Also, grown Ellie is one of my favorite characters ever, so much well executed, human, relatable nuance, and that’s a take that has nothing to do with her sexuality.
