Five years after the first game, Ellie sets out on a bloody path through a ruined Seattle. It's a stealth-action game with some of the most detailed animation and combat AI ever made. Its story about violence and its cost split fans down the middle.
Kit's verdict · 9.1/10
Exhausting on purpose, technically astonishing and impossible to forget.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Incredibly tense stealth and combat
- Best-in-class animation and acting
- Bold, uncompromising story
Not so much
- Deliberately bleak and long
- Structure tests your patience in the middle
Play it if players who want a story that challenges them, not just entertains them.
Skip it if anyone who wants a comforting sequel or a happy ending.

Tips
Play it better
- Go prone in tall grass; enemies with dogs track your scent, so keep moving.
- Use the dodge button against melee attacks; it's far more important than in the first game.
- Listen Mode can be weakened or turned off on harder difficulties, so learn to read enemy chatter.
- Pick up every supplement and training manual. Manuals unlock whole skill trees.
- Safe combinations are always written somewhere nearby, in notes or on walls.
- Stalkers hide and ambush you; sweep corners with your flashlight in dark areas.
