Gameplay is amazing. Visual elements and encounters against the AI are what everyone has been waiting 7 years for. I wish there was a factions part like the first game but i believe they'll be coming out with that later. Capturing the details in this game made it feel real and an escape from reality.
Story line is the absolute worse. We should've been given a decision based game, the timeline could've started out with the introduction of the other side of this game's story. Neil Druckman was told this part of the story would not work and a great deal of fans realized the order in which the climax was placed made those comments true. He also mentioned he "loved" these characters more than the fans but made a controversial decision that could've been applied later rather than 2 hours in. Basically, the order and the intro to a new character should've been differently. This would bring the same intrigue rather than the shock factor that wasn't necessary. The explanation and reasoning could have been given instead. Oh well. Play it to find out, just rent it instead and see if its worth keeping to buy it for yourself.
