I honestly did not like the story. I mean the gameplay was fun and the voice acting was phenomenal along with the graphics.
I knew the game wasn't going to be as good as the first one, very few sequels are better or even as good as the first one. Even after Joel died, I was still excited to see what I could do with the game. Then you play as Abby who's entire campaign was trying to make you feel for her and honestly failed horribly at it.
Now, her gameplay was a lot of fun, especially since she fights with her hands rather than a knife and the executions don by her are absolutely sick (in a good way). The problem is playing as her for 10 hours when many people do not care about her. As the game went on, it just became a chore to finish.
Now if you have a differing opinion, that's fine.
I wish Naughty Dog luck in the future of gaming.
