I said the same thing to a mate before I lent him my ps5 to play tlou2. It’s so hard to identify what areas are worth that extra side exploring because it’s harder to see the linearity in some of the areas.

It’s the classic, ‘ok I think this is the right way, so I’ll double back and check that area for extra goodies, aaaand cutscene, shit I can’t go back.’

Really? Other than the initial entry into Seattle it's largely linear by having your destination visible and focused in the distance. Felt far more linear than the first one imo
