If u skip all the cut scenes, its a really good game. Even better than the first one. It has way more non stop action and way more jump scares. Your never really feel safe even when u should in this game. Riding around on horseback exploring seattle did get tiring but otherwise good replay value.
I pliked Abby and Ellie and their sepeate stories but I didnt care at all for any of the other characters. Plus the ending was a let down. That whole revenge plot felt like a waste of time. Maybe she wasn't that bothered by Joel's death? Whatever..
I think many people also are just tired of all the lesbian representation shit? I know I am. Plus doesn't it seem pretty homophobic of naughty dog to not have any gay men in the game minus the hints at the character Bill from the first one? They have no problem shoving lesbian drama down our throats but God forbid we see two guys so much as look at each other. Just saying.
Overall the game is really good if you skip all the cut scenes. Nobody said you have to watch the scenes. I definitely skipped most of them.
