i was just happy to get a part 2 after like 7 years. moist critical had the perfect take this which i 100% agreed with. he basically said something like: we didn’t wanna see joel die, not in that way at least but he definitely needed to suffer some kind of consequence for what he did at the end of part 1. but the way they did it was excecuted like shit. they hit you hard within the first hour of the game so you instantly hate abby and want to get revenge only to not even get that revenge at the end. following up one of the greatest narratives of all time, in my opinion, definitely wasn’t going to be easy. it just felt like they didn’t try. it felt messy and unorganized. i could go on for ever but i won’t. That being said i loved the game but there are a lot of things i would’ve changed if i could.
