SPOILER FREE
From a massive last of us fan, I will say this game allows u to feel captured at time and connects well with the original last of us. However, the decisions that were made half way through the game almost caused me to not finish the game. But being the fan I was I had to play it through and I'll be honest if this game was a stand alone game it would be okay. But because it's coming off the characters and emotions built in the first game, I'm sad to say that it's disappointing. It will force u to hate the game and the choices within this game.
This game should have ended halfway through the campaign and it would have been much better. But it didn't and it took a turn that could not be further from the original.
