Now i do know what most of you think about this game because of what druckman did, that he ruined the original characters and he prefers that you hate his game rather than feeling nothing about it and tbh me too was really upset and disappointed after you know 2 hours into the game "the thing" happened but if you actually continue to play the game it all makes sense and it's not like you are not getting any Joel and Ellie moment. You should know that Joel in the first game did a lot of messed up things with no mercy, even if it was out of love and his past is coming to hunt him in this game which was always the case. He's not a hero guys even if you want him to be.
The graphics and environments are breathtaking, some of the best world design i've ever seen, the attention to details is up there with games like RDR2 and the gameplay while similar to the original, it's even more violent, horrifying and gruesome as it can get.
In terms of story i think the original is told better with no room for error, almost every character in that game was likeable, even the supposed bad guys and that's not the case here. Abby and her group are incredibly unlikable and she had very little redeeming qualities to me if Lev and his sister didn't existed. Dina and Jessie are alright but as a supporting role, they should have been way better and the pacing is all over the place. Flashback after flashback, it just gets tiresome after a while. But even with all that, this is still a quality game and it's nowhere near as bad as some would make you believe and most of them didn't even gave the game a chance and made up their minds based on the leaks which works for a movie i guess but this is different and you have to experience it for yourself and even if you still don't like it, it's understandable like i said the game is flawed, extremely divisive and it's not for everyone like the first game.
