The Last of Us Part II: Never mind the Metacritic nonsense, Naughty Dog's ultra-violent odyssey is a must-play*

sgoprime

I've played through twice now and will probably start a third play through this weekend.

I really enjoyed the game and there was only one character I felt was simply meh who I imagine should have elicited more feeling. I went in a huge fan of the original and was not disappointed by this one. As with most things, I don't generally read or care what other people's views are and judge it based on my own experience. Given that, I found the gameplay to be as excellent (and sometimes frustrating) as I'd expect, the story was dark and, at times, shocking, it was graphically impressive, found the how the main characters evolved/devolved to be nicely handled and, in general, lived up to the hopes I'd had for it.

Hope for the future

I'm told that at best I should be a quadriplegic and at worst I shouldn't be able to breathe due a tumour on my spinal cord so reading articles like this always piques my interest. If the paralysis was to occur (and assuming I could still breathe) it is probably way too early in the research to be of any use for me but it does provide hope for the future for people who may be in that position.
