Thankfully it didn’t seem to happen during combat, and I played long sections without any stuttering, but it was very noticeable while exploring some parts of the world.

Graphical + Visual Fidelity - I cannot stress how beautiful this game looks, regardless of what graphics settings you play on.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
From new additions like crouching and going prone in grass to new weapons and equipment that Ellie and Abby can craft, the game feels a LOT more brutal and arguably difficult than the first game, since they throw so many enemies and things at you.
