An absolute story telling masterpiece.
The hate from everyone was not warranted at all. The gameplay, story, over arching time lines, graphics, everything. This game is amazing. I don't care if you are gay, trans, etc., it never felt forced when playing the game. When story telling is done organically and its not being shoved in your face it can be refreshing. Sure, Ellie is gay. Sure, Lev is Trans. Sure, you may hate that but if that's the only thing you dwell on. You are missing on some of the best narrative writing video games have to offer.
Looking forward to the TV show and hope they can do something with a part 3? Give this game a change and ignore the hate.
