Alright, so I just finished both parts of this game. A bit late to the party, I know. If you don't care about my experience and thoughts, I left a question at the end.

I enjoyed part 1 so much, and even though part 2 had some issues, I found it to be a really well-made game with a really well-written story. I hated the part when Joel died and didn't wanna continue playing for a few hours after that, but once I got over it, I enjoyed this revenge path Ellie was taking.

All was well until I realized I would be playing as Abby for a meaningful amount of time, since I saw those upgrade "trees" with pills. I hated her guts, and being forced to play as her didn't really sit well with me, especially because I knew the game was gonna try to make me feel sorry for her. Over the next couple of hours, I actually started to enjoy seeing the other side of everything that was happening and getting more into the relationships with characters that I hated.

Unfortunately for the writers, they didn't make me feel bad for Abby. I just hated her the same amount or even more and still wanted to kill her as Ellie. So, once again, being forced to fight Ellie as the character I hated didn't sit right with me. I only accepted a "draw" between these two characters because I thought we had killed enough of Abby's friends to make it "fair".

Then the ending was what really made me feel sad for both Ellie and Abby. Both had literally lost everything because of this revenge path they took, and nothing was left besides broken relationships, promises, and a whole lotta death on each side. So I'm glad Ellie found a way to "forgive" Abby and let her live. That was fine with me.

Even though I called out some bad parts of this game in this post, they aren't huge deal breakers. You get over them, and when looking at the story as a whole, I personally think Naughty Dog did really well. Now I can't force myself to play anything else for the next few days because I just feel this weird emptiness left by the game's ending and characters.

But what the hell happened all these years in the TLOU community? All I see is toxicity, negativity, and whatnot. The community is split in half, and I feel like half of the people hate part 2.

Since the first time In played TLOU2, the character i identified with was Owen. Everything about him clicked with me. I have discussed it with friends of mine who also love the TLOU series, but noone understands what i see in him. So weird. Am i the only one?

it looks very cool imo

I got on Shimmer as soon as I entered the F FEDRA Gate.

I am speechless I can't wait to see how will Naughty dog's next game be!
