TLOU 2’s difficulty feels kind of forced and frustrating (artificial difficulty). It’s not that the game is hard in a good way—it’s that it stacks the odds against you with super low ammo, tanky enemies, and clunky gun handling, especially if you're using a controller.

If you miss one headshot with your two bullets, you're basically screwed. That’s not challenging—it’s just annoying.

How many of you can relate to this situation?

Yeah, lack of ammo is frustrating. TLoU 1 had system where you got more ammo from enemies, if you're low. Now if you're low - you're screwed.

I hear ya. I first played TLOU2 on the the playstation now app for PC about 3.5 yrs ago & was forced to use controllers. Believe me when I say this, I HATE controllers for games like this lol. I almost beat the game on grounded difficulty. I only mention that because one thing grounded taught me, is that bottles/bricks are GOLD & the best weapon in the game for conserving ammo, resources, etc imo.

My playstyle is start with assassinating a couple of enemies then go all out with guns.
Yes I can play more stealthy and use bricks/bottles and probably don't need a single bullet but this is not my playstyle plus stealth in this game is basic af.

stealth saves ammo.............

Bro this game on normal is brain dead. Did you just come off playing uncharted or something?

Skill issue bro
You're not supposed to shoot every enemy on every location, use stealth, distraction and tools, or, you knowm, switch to 'easy'

I'm playing on Grounded difficulty and going into combat arenas with 1-3 bullets on average. A lot of trial and error, but I've already played it on Survivor and want a new experience. Enemies pretty much have the same level of awareness a human would have and spot you if you even slightly get into their line of sight, even from very far away. They also hit 90% of their shots.
