When I Found out That Dogs Were a Part of the Enemy Package in the Last of Us 2, I Really Wasn’t Pleased. Nothing Hurts My Heart More Than Animals in Games, and Obviously out of Games Too, in Pain or Dying. the Fact That, for the Most Part, Ellie Has to Murder These Trained-to-Kill Dogs Is Probably One of the Worst Things I’ve Had to Experience in a Video Game.

Stalkers Are Sneaky Buggers Who Love Nothing More Than to Play a Game of Hide and Seek with the Player Making Them Not Only Scary but Also Frustrating. as They Slip and Slide from One Area to the Other, You Are Never Quite Sure Where They Will Pop up from Giving You a Real Fright When They Jump up in Front of You.

For Those Who Have Played Through the Last of Us, the Appearance of Clickers in Tlou2 Is of No Surprise. Even So, Their Entire Presence Sets My Nerves on High Alert. That Eerie Clicking Sound That They Use to Hunt Is Not Only Tense but When They Do Spot You, Their High Pitched Scream Is Enough to Send You to an Early Grave.
