The game makes an extreme U-Turn when we switch focus from Ellie to Abby. A 25 hour stretched out story that could have been honestly 11-13 hours long witout losing its depth.

What makes this all come full circle is that the message behind this revenge story is that "revenge is bad m'kay". This a very big step down from it's predecessor. This game has very poor, contrived writing that is desperatley trying to prove a point to it's audience. who was some random NPC in the first game and suddenly a sequels entire plot is spun around this fact ? This game is riddled with social justice micro agressions, but that isnt why this game is bad in my opinion. 2 hours into the game Joel gets fkn Murked by Abby, a girl man who seeks revenge on Joel becuase Joel kills her dad. Im not going to even touch on the ridiculous exposition and complete deviation with Dina and Ellies coming of age teen pregnancy lesbian relationship that was nothing but mundane and boring. The only slight glimmer of Joel and Ellie that we see is one other 5 minute sequence where Joel and talk after their fallout, where Joel tell hers that if he could go back, he would do it all again and ellie half forgiving him for what he did. The remainder of present day interactions showcase a rocky and abrupt relationship between Joel and Ellie that is only explained during flashback sequences as you reluctantly force yourself to progress with the main story. The only thing I got from this game that has given me some sense of fullfilment is the 5 minute scene mid game where Ellie confronts Joel in a flashback where she forces Joel to tell her the truth about the fireflies and what really happened while she was unconcious in the surgery room. The only closure we receive is through vietnam guitar flashbacks of Joel and Ellie. Cut forward 4 years we have Ellie who is much older and a lesbian. Joel lies to Ellie and we are shown that Ellie knows that there is something that Joel is not telling us. The first game ends with a cliff hanger that leaves it much to the players own interpretation. Closure was the one thing I was seeking out of this sequel. A typical revenge plot line that is lost in itself with the 20000 characters that it introduces and tries desperatley to make relevant to an already established storyline. But unfortunately thats the only stunning feature that can be found in this game.
I wont deny this game the credit it deserves for how visually oustanding it looks, especially in 4k, the world around you looks absolutley stunning. They are completely wasted and spat on in Druckmans 1 man reign of terror on the male patriarchy, I mean sequel. Druckman takes a golf club to the characters who you grew to love. The long swaited sequel to one of the best games of 2013. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
