{spoiler free} This game truly is a flawed masterpiece. I won't post any spoilers but the amount of small details within the story and the way you see character growth and how the different characters cope with their inner demons throughout your play through is absolutely amazing. Every character goes through changes in their personality and their end goal, and it's amazing how Abby and Ellie are two sides of the same coin in a way. Besides that, the graphics and game mechanics were absolutely stunning. I've never played a game that's made stealth so intense before. I've seen a lot of people hating the game for the story and how it ended but if you look deeper into it and get past any initial rage or disappointment you might feel, the ending is truly beautiful and full of deeper meaning. The only reason I'm not giving this game a 5 star rating is because some of the story writing is a bit lazy in terms of tying back to the first game, but besides that I think this game is truly a masterpiece, but a flawed one. Nothing is perfect, real life isn't even perfect, the game gave us an ending that isn't perfect and people are pissed. And no I'm not kissing Niel Druckmanns butt, I think he could've definitely done better, but the game is nowhere near as bad as everyone makes it seem to be. Also, to those of you who think it's funny or okay to be sending hate and death threats to the voice actors and creators of this game, get a life. It's a video game. It shouldn't be effecting you that much.
