I did have a great time playing TLoU2 with all the difficulty cranked up, EXCEPT for ally aggression set to super easy. This meant that while combat was more threatening, as long as I had a partner character with me, I felt like I had support and backup, and wasn’t alone in combat segments. Like I was really traveling with someone, rather than just having someone around to spout dialogue now and then.
This also meant that any time you’re alone, you feel it. When you’re alone you feel isolated and unsafe. Meant there was at least one alone encounter that was brutal, but also made the game more immersive. Highly recommend.

The Ally Aggression being on easy was a godsend for my Grounded run of 1, because that meant if I needed too I could hide in cover and let the Allies fight while I heal/reload/etc
Completely agree on the alone encounter too. I felt it a bit with Abby’s story on Normal, specifically the segment with all the Seraphites

Yeah the seraphites part wasn’t killer for me since with a little stealth you can take it at your own pace, but not long after that ::: spoiler Spoiler When you’re escaping the seraphite camp and making friends along the way, the survival section where they ditch you and there are just several waves of increasingly threatening infected nonstop with no room to breathe ::: was brutal. Took a bunch of tries for me.

I barely survived that bit in normal, i got lucky with some dodges and a shotgun blast. I’m not sure what i’m going to do on my Grounded run though
