Positives
* A
world that attracts you to explore what is in it, and the fact that the
fighting depends greatly on your willingness in terms of weapons and tools, so
exploration is one of the most important factors of the game. You will find
yourself searching in rooms and sneaking to get what you want, breaking glass
to enter buildings or collecting items, and solving some puzzles such as lockers
to get equipment that helps you in playing and purposes in which you develop
your weapons and personality, and you also have to search for books to be able
to open additional development lists. The game is almost linear, as progressing
the stage requires you to go to a certain point, but the area you will find is
wide to explore, and you will find more open places than others that give you
greater freedom to explore.
* Gameplay
has improved over the first part, so you can now avoid enemy strikes, crawl under
cars and among weeds to hide, and enter between narrow lanes. Adding new types
of enemies gives more challenge and fun than before. Artificial intelligence
has also improved significantly, as the enemies search for you more logically,
and try to distract you so that their colleagues can attack you from the back,
as well as your comrades helping you in the fight more than the first part, and
they try to hide as much as possible and not as happens in the first part when
your escort wanders around the enemies in a way Funny.
* High
attention to detail, from a technical point of view the movement of characters,
especially when fighting is tired, such as the way glass breaks and smears the
ground with blood. As for the world, the buildings and rooms are full of
details that narrate with them what happened since the beginning of the
outbreak of the epidemic, as well as files and papers that reveal more about
the world to you. Also, you will find the enemies, for example, calling each
other by their names, and when one of the enemies is assassinated, his
colleagues will call him by name.
* The
music is no less than the level of the first part, as it includes quiet and
distinctive music as we are used to from the previous part, and interesting
music that suits the atmosphere of confrontations and fighting.
The developer story is longer compared to the
first part and compensates for the absence of an online mode currently. Some of
the distinct cinematic moments are what we are used to from Naughty Dog Studio,
times when you find yourself fighting a powerful monster in an awkward
situation, or in facing a group of enemies while you escape from them. Also,
the performances of the actors in the scenes and their dialogues are considered
the best and you will find great attention to detail.
* The
level of fees is high and it offers different environments (it may not be as
varied as Uncharted), there is a demolished city covered by plants and trees,
offices in general in each building are distinguished from others, as well as
areas covered by water that you can explore at night. The game works perfectly
(30 frames per second constant) and takes advantage of the capabilities of the
Playstation 4, on the Pro it works with higher accuracy and optimizes the edges
of objects (such as Uncharted), but the performance is not stable at times, but
it may not be noticed.
* The
game provides many facilities (Accessibility) and adjustments to difficulty and
other things to suit everyone, whether the facilities are to remove some
provocative matters or that hinder you such as visually impaired players, as
well as adjustments to translation such as font size, color and writing the
name of the speaker. Facilities don't disrupt Trophies, and I see them as a
good point.
Negatives
Although the style of play and fighting is
one of the strengths of this part, with time it becomes routine and expected.
Most of the game is limited to having a locked door and then searching for
another path, then facing some enemies either by fighting or sneaking. For the
first 10 hours this will be enjoyable, but the fun will be less afterward.
The story and events are weaker than the
first part, as it is a somewhat superficial revenge story with events that take
place between the main characters and do not add any weight to the story, such
as romantic relationships or groups in the world. The first part may not have a
deep story, but its end makes you appreciate the adventure that I spent and
embody the father’s relationship with his daughter in its best form. In the
second part, I did not find the plot that dazzles you and makes you remember
it, but it was only a mixture of an adventure of revenge and some emotional
moments.
The game contains some immoral scenes, such
as sex scenes, striptease and homosexuality. There was no need for it to exist
and nothing to add to the plot, you can skip these scenes and nothing changes
in the story.

It is worth to be mentioned
There is no list of stats like in the first
part, which was telling you in detail everything that I did in the game and the
addition. You can see how many hours you have played just by the file storage.
There is an avatar gallery of characters and
monsters, which you can purchase with points you collect through play (it is
not explained how they are collected). More like a museum to see the designs
and details of the characters.
The game does not contain an online mode, and
the developer mentioned that it will be available later, but not as part of the
game.

Enjoyable

Butter
A second part improves all aspects of the
first part except perhaps the story, the mixture of exploration, style of play,
dialogues, the performance of the actors and the super-excellent graphics, but
it was influenced by a superficial revenge story that was dispersed by
emotional relationships between the characters and distanced from what we liked
in the first part.
