SPOILER FREE
An impactful story (but very tumultuous!), awesome characters that are very well acted, absolutely beautiful graphics and sound design, and fun gameplay like the first game. One of my favourite aspects is the camera angles and how they use them to show emotions or let the player’s imagination fill in the gaps.
KINDA SPOILER

I loved that I didn't necessarily agree with what characters were doing, and was forced to play a 'bad' character. It took a while for me to like her, but that made a refreshing change.
That's not to say there weren't flaws. Sometimes the coincidences were somewhat unrealistic, I hated Owen, the zebra section didn't do anything for me in terms of liking Abby, and I was hoping for larger groups of infected- like a legit horde to run from or something. But after playing through again on a harder difficulty, this thought went out the window lol
But overall these flaws didn't really matter. The game was overall super enjoyable and emotional yada yada
I really hope they make a dlc so we can enjoy some quality Joel and Ellie (like in the 5 years after they come back to Jackson. I miss Joel ðŸ˜).
