I don’t know why people are hating it, I played it all in one sitting and enjoyed every bit of it. The graphics are amazing and even though we get new characters, when some die (not saying who) u can really feel bad for them. The game is not just black and white, it’s not just about revenge. It shows both sides and shows that everyone is a villain in their story. People are complaining about the ending but the end is pretty much (SPOILERS) Ellie breaking the cycle of revenge and death by sparring Abby. The missions were amazing and the way Joel died was yeah, gruesome but it is what drove Ellie and the player YOURSELF into complete rage and wanting revenge. Of course it is not fair that Joel survived about 25 years to get killed like that but it shows that keeping your guard down for just a second, that can happen to u. People are also for some reason complaining about Ellie being lesbian but she literally kissed Riley in the first game, it should have hinted that she could have been Slightly lesbian.
Summary: The game was amazing, voice acting, plot, points of view of both sides and graphics.
