Two months before its scheduled May 29th release date, Sony delayed The Last of Us Part II in light of COVID-19. Sony finally released over the summer, and it was met with rave reviews. With a 93% on Metacritic, it definitely lived up to the hype!
Reviews of The Last of Us Part II suggests it’s another emotional, soul-searching journey with significantly improved gameplay compared to its predecessor. The story takes place five years after The Last of Us, with Ellie stepping into the lead role. The finer points of the storyline are steeped in mystery and not much has been revealed, but it’s safe to say we can expect another blockbuster game from Naughty Dog.
