After completing the story of this game ill say i love it just as much as the first game if not more and ill give a kinda short review in support of this game and its predecessor and the creators of this game. The graphics are stunning and i spent alot of time taking screenshots. The gameplay is great and the combat and action scenes are very intense. The story is very dark and violent and sad but it has many funny and lighthearted moments as well so its not all gloom.
(LIGHT SPOILERS BELOW)
I think this game is getting alot of backlash it should not be receiving. Alot of things were taken out of context from the leaks that happened and the whole game was labeled bad because of leaks that half were not even true. I was like alot of people and was and still very sad about that big character death twords the beginning of the game but it shouldn't turn people away from playing the rest of the game, it was hard but it was good story telling especially after completing the whole game. I did not like the character switch half way through the game at first but eventually came to liking and understanding the character and thier choices more as thier story played out just like the game creators wanted to happen. The ending of the game was not what i wanted but after the story played out the way it did i am very glad it happened that way. Joel and ellie's relationship at the end of the game might not be the happiest of endings but there was enough there if you can see it to be satisfied with. The story in all its glory is 10/10 for me things did not go how i wanted at times but thats life anyway why should games like this be any different and thats what makes this game and the first so unique and amazing.
