If you love a beautiful game with stunning graphics, if you love brutal action and savage fight scenes, AND, you care NOTHING for the story line or characters of the first game, you'll probably love the Last of Us 2.
If the reason you loved the first game was because of the relationship between Joel and Ellie, if you enjoyed the dynamic between them and how Ellie was the breath of fresh air in a otherwise barren wasteland, IF YOU LOVE JOEL AND ELLIE AT ALL.... you will hate this game.
They DESTROY everything we loved about the first game for the sake of "art" and I for one am not buying it.
Like literally. I will not play this game.
This review is based on the brutally honest reviews of others. I'm thankful for them, because it means I won't have to waste my time playing it.
Joel and Ellie were the only reason the first game was fun to play. Without that dynamic, without the ability to have hope, for me, there's no reason to play this one and see how it pans out.
They won't be getting my money.
