Part 2 is better than part 1

[Wabbits]

All you dumb asses got so sad your virtual husband died and it doesn't matter, everything else in the game is a complete improvement over the first. Every character, the level design, audio, graphics, game play and yes plot is better and stop pretending

But i thought it's WOKE?? How can it be good and also WOKE at the same time?!?! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

you're probably gonna get a lot of heat for this, but you're 100% right and i'm with you

It is better in every way IMO. TLOU2 is my third favorite game of the last decade after Elden Ring and BG3.

[joe dirt]

i think their both amazing

[Emig5m]

I have always said that part 2 was better lol.

[JankoSVK]

It is debatable whether Part I or Part II is better. The important thing is that Part II is different and does not parasitize on the success of the first part. Both are great and as a whole it is one story. And this story will be completed in a few years by Part III.

In terms of character development, Part 1 is better in my opinion.

I didn't play part 1 and have only played TLOU2 on PS4.

I don't really consider the game's story to be too strong. The word I'd choose was "cognitive dissonance" and this is coming from someone who is more than happy to have them stories be REAL damn dark.

I like the gameplay though!

[Senki]

I think the story in both is pretty average honestly but I do like the gameplay in 2 more so, you're right I guess?

I don't know why you sound so mad at part 1 though, I'd think fans would like both.

What a rightful title!

No, you're wrong. #Justice4Joel

And the consequences.

Kind of a harsh post, but overall I agree with the sentiment after a few replays of the whole saga and ultimately enjoy the second game more also.

Maybe it's to do with the pacing, (no month-long timeskips of nothingness) and contained environment taking place in one centralised location rather than a globetrotting roadtrip (Wasn't bad per se in the original, but it meant that the narrative was always 'March forward' whereas the characters had motivations to do other things or backtrack in Part 2)

I like the larger cast in 2 better also, more friendly NPC's to bounce dialogue off from both sides is always a plus.
