*Spoiler Free* People who don’t like this game are either folks that are mad that Ellie likes women or people who can’t accept change and move on from the past. I didn’t give this game a chance for the longest because I heard all these bad reviews and figured it wasn’t worth it. Then it went on sale for $10 and…….. truly I’m kicking myself in the foot for it taking me this long to play this game. I 100% believe it’s better than the first. The gameplay is upgraded and enhanced to be more immersive and fun, the storytelling is AMAZING and left me with my jaw on the floor every 10 minutes, the characters are interesting and the overall story of the game is just so layered, complex, and mature. I actually can’t believe this game has received this much hate. If you’re reading this and you’re on the fence, I’m BEGGING you to give this game a try.
TLDR; the gaming community is weird. please give this game a chance, you will NOT regret it.
