No I'm not hired by anyone to give my opinion. This game is a great sequel to the first game. Is it as good as part l? No it's not because it's not that. This is its own game with a new cast of characters for people to understand or sympathize with them. The game story wise is great. It's not about revenge like most people think. Just like how the first game wasnt get this girl to a hospital to find a cure. It's about how Joel is grieving with Sarah's death. Part ll shows the effects Joel has on others and Ellie's grieving process. People say it's a unfitting way for a character to go. I think it's the best way if you think about the world they live in. This game isn't perfect BUT it's not bad.
