This game is a slap to the face of the fans of the first game. Gameplay is enjoyable. But not much improved from the first game. Some new combat mechanics are there but not any innovation like they claim. Other games have been doing the same thing. Graphics are extremely good. But the horrendous story, writing and pacing issues make this game below average for me. This game was all about Joel and Ellie. We wanted to see their relationship grow but they just kill a beloved characters to make way for a character nobody cares about. The game forces you to play as our beloved character’s killer trying to make us sympathize with her. The game spits on the face of the fans. This game would’ve been better if it was a typical revenge story than this pile of garbage. They try to portray 2 of our beloved characters as monsters to make way for a dollar store version of them. Absolutely horrible. The only thing worth it about this game is killing Abby in every way possible and Ellie’s flashback with Joel but even then you know Joel is gonna get his head smashed so why bother? Wouldn’t get this game for free. It doesn’t deserve the 10/10 masterpiece review people are giving this below average game. TLOU was all about the story, the gameplay and graphics doesn’t make up for it in the slightest way. Didn’t expect this big of a disappointment as a sequel for a really good game like TLOU. Also, for people complaining about the woke agenda, I agree with them but also don’t. I don’t have problem with homosexual characters. In fact, I liked Ellie being lesbian. But, not in this game where the plot revolves around that it becomes annoying. I don’t like that Ellie being lesbian is only serving the plot whereas in the left behind dlc, it showed you Ellie’s backstory with her best friend Riley. Would not recommend at all
