!SPOILERS! I keep seeing alot of horrible comments and bullying surrounding this game at the moment so thought I share my experience with it. So definitely not the direction I thought this game would go but overall I think it's a well written and ambitious game story wise, I know a lot of people 'hate' this sequal and I do understand why some people are angry but I'm pretty sure that's the point you are meant to feel that anger and want revenge for what happens to joel and mainly how it happens, its definitely not an easy thing to watch being a huge fan of the first game. Playing as abby was annoying until you play more then you will understand reasoning and motivation for her character.
In the end the message is more about not losing yourself and everything you have to revenge. So overall I really enjoyed the risks that were taken with the story, even though at first I was quite shocked and disappointed but I needed to know why! And when I had my answers it made sense. Depending on how easily you are 'triggered' by fictional characters being killed I'd say give the game a go and don't listen to the haters until you finish it. ✌️
