The game gets the wrong things so right and doesn't bother with building off of the legacy of the original. If I wanted a TPS game I'd play Uncharted. The game spends so much time trying to destroy the legacy it built up in the original for the sake of a new character nobody asked for that by the end of it I felt as though the original story had been tarnished. The few moments in which we actually see the original duo together were too few and far between to actually make a difference. The writers should have just set the story apart from Joel and Ellie in the vein of The Walking Dead's spinoffs instead of trying desparately to glue/tape/nail a sequel onto the end of a perfectly rounded out game.
