First of all, I’m glad I stayed away from anything TLOU2 related when info regarding the game weak a couple of months ago. I actually like the game though not as much as the first one.

I thought it was unique that the game let’s you play as the antagonist. Though you could argue that Ellie was kinda turning into a villain as well when she forced Abby to fight her by holding a knife to Lev’s neck during the last chapter. My main issue was that Abby’s gameplay portion was way too long which lead to some pacing issues. Her story almost fills like filler at times and probably would’ve been better if it was 5 instead of 10 hours of gameplay. To be honest, I would’ve been happy if the story ended during the farm chapter.

Joel’s death didn’t bother me at all, but it did shocked me when it happened.

There were a few uncomfortable moments though like the fight scene during the last chapter and also the full frontal nudity sex scene. Don’t think the latter needs to be in games. We already have a lot of that in movies and especially tv shows.

There were also too many occasions where surprised attacks happened just as characters were either entering or exiting an area.

My favourite chapter was the Birthday Gift one and I love some of the new characters like Dina, Jesse and Lev. Oh yeah, the visuals were jaw dropping too.
