I had to get this out. I was so hyped for The Last of Us Part 2 when the very first trailer came out. Ellie singing and Joel coming adds so much depth that I thought those two will have a very difficult journey. I was so excited. Now with all the leaks out earlier than usual, with the fate of Joel, and all of that revenge story leading to a extremely pointless ending, I'm really not that interested anymore. All those 7 years I felt that the game that we had high expectations on was wasted; all for nothing. I really wish the developers would spend more time to iron out more things to the story. Just in case if you don't get what I'm saying play the first game and study it well. You know why. If I were you, I rather rethink and take your money elsewhere.
I admit though: the gameplay was good. The dogs sensing you is a nice touch and the enemies are more lethal compared to the first game. IMO, those are the only good part of the game.
