I will try to be as unbias and clear as possible to help people considering buying this games.
The Last of Us Part 2 has many pros and cons.
Pros
Amazing action and tension.
Graphics are beautiful.
Mechanics are satisfying and everything you do during combat feels important.
Cons
If you are here to continue the perfect story of last of us 1 and nothing else I am very sadden to tell you it's not there, the story fails in almost every aspect from understanding how Joel and other characters are from the last game to character development. Nothing in the game feels earned or rewarding except some sceens where you fight "bosses"
Over all as a fan of this franchise I am sadden and disappointed to see such a great story like last of us 1 be demimished and insulted by the writing on this one.
I wish this story focused on Ellie growing up and finding her place in there world and with in Joel's life after the everything it would have felt less forced and smoother.
SPOILER
it is truly difficult to care about Abby in any way shape or form if you cared about Joel's and Ellie's story before hand as that gets destroyed to bring in a new character.
