The story beats in this game is full of contradictory decisions, lack of heart, and plot holes which just doesn't make sense. A game likes this, for me, is not warranted for a sequel. The first game was sooo beautifully well written and ended on a satisfying note between the two main characters. Now had they done a sequel, they should have done a follow up with all new characters, new plot, respect and honor the previous main characters by acknowledging how important they were to the first game's story and move forward. Much like Resident Evil 2 did to 1 in that respect. Unfortunately, that didn't happen here and Naughty Dog divided their fan base instead of honoring them and new fans alike with their ridiculous decision making. The gameplay itself: gorgeous environments, character models detail even better than the first, and the combat has improved quite a bit. However it does make up for the problematic plot were forced to play. Sorry but this game is worth more of a rental or getting it when it's on a 50% sale pricetag. Such a shame. 5 out of 10.
