The gameplay, visuals, acting, and music were all incredible. Naughty Dog did it again in these departments and even exceeded the first game in some of these regards. But the story, the keystone that carries the whole franchise on its back is absolutely horrid. The characters don’t act like themselves and all the relationships they’ve created in the first game are thrown out the window. I really wanted this to be a 10/10 but the story is dragging the project down to where it can’t be brought back to what made the first installment great. A decent game to play, but hopefully forget.
