The Last of Us Part II Preview Thread
- Thread starter Equanimity
- Start date
Oh that's a bummer. I wonder what the reason is. Of course, I could just ignore it, but it still takes some tension away.

Hands on with The Last of Us Part II – the best game ever made?
The Last of Us Part II seems to be surpassing the original in every way
The reviews themselves are quite early. Otherwise previews 3 weeks before release are quite common. It is a bit weird that all the outlets have probably finished the game for review and are writing previews instead. Someone is going to slip up lol.
Would love to see what the DualSense can bring to the experience, if any.

It's faaaaaaaar less frequent. I just had to find something I disliked about that chapter:P

The Last of Us 2’s beautiful world is filled with death and uses its human cost to make every choice count
Ellie’s journey asks no easy questions and makes you fight for answers
That PS5 patch with haptic trigger support is going to be something else.

The Last of Us Part II is out next month. You can read my preview knowing there are no spoilers, but there is so much detail packed into the game, I wanted to

I don't particularly like it. It makes it feel like the media is in the publisher's back pocket. Bending over backwards to contribute to the marketing of the game rather than providing true critique, especially since the reviews will hit in a week. It kind of hurts the credibility in my head of it as piece of art rather than a mass consumption product.
In any event, it is irrelevant to me since I knew I was in for the ride the moment it was announced. I hope these previews prove useful to someone out there I guess.

Wait, so you can set each difficulty element separately? Because I'd love a setup where Ellie takes less damage, but enemies are more active and resources are rare.

The Last of Us Part II isn’t just Naughty Dog’s most ambitious game — it’s the most accessible, too
How the developer is opening up the story to even more players.

Extremely positive.
Naughty Dog has improved everything, it's a worthy sequel, elicits the desired emotions, best graphics of the gen, incredible sound design etc.

you can still choose not to press the button for personal challenge
other preview didn't seem to mention it, maybe it's part of the accessibility options, apparently it's very robust and include thing like breathing underwater indefinitely, so maybe making Ellie have more health point is part of it.

Wow, that's fantastic.
Little worried about length. One previewed said the section was 10 hours into the game and another said about halfway through.
Is the game only 20 hours?
I was hoping for 30+...maybe first reviewers didn't explore much?

I have a lot of problems with the first one but this seems to address pretty much most of it based on these previews. I'm actually starting to get really curious about the game finally.

Almost every Naughty Dog game could stand to lose five hours. This doesn't need to be a 30 hour game
Expecting 30+h from a linear narrative-driven single-player game is just setting yourself up for disappointment, really.
I imagine we'll see straight 10/10s, the previews and people who I've spoke to have had the game have had nothing negative to say. I think we'll see a 95-100 metacritic.
The original is like 16 hours long. Why does this need to be twice the length?
Hearing about so many accessibility its sounds very impressive. I do hope there`s an option for gyro aiming. Please ND!

From a soon to come itw of the co-director it states that their internal play test run were 25h. I'm,guessing that super stealth and exploration should get you to 30h, which is a lot
Internal playtest was around 25 hours, so it's probably around 20-25 hours for most people.
I am so, so excited for this. I went to preorder the game yesterday on Amazon and I totally forgot about that dumb box art lol. Oof, what were they thinking!?
I am pretty sure that it will easily surpass the first game when it comes to gameplay,the world building ,encounters with infected and humans etc.
The only thing that remains to see is the story which i don't trust reviewers opinions or anyone else's so i have to see for myself in a few days
