The plot was amazing and honestly wish I can play it again for the same experience. It was suspenseful, exciting, and one of the first legit games I actually played. I don't know what there is not to love about this game other than I wish we had more Ellie and Joel bonding time lol. Their duo is unmatched and has a place in my heart only they can fill.

as I am writing this review I still am in the process of playing Part II of this game and I just want to say that while playing this game pretty much back-to-back and witnessing Joel get beat up to death without feeling fully provided with their relationship in the second game kinda sucks because I really hoped to witness more of older Joel considering he had such an impact in the first game.... very heart breaking still </3

Ellie blows up: Just found out dina, is missing, worried a lot bc ellie and her are the perfect duo. I wish joel was here tbh. im not good at these reviews..ok back to playin

UPDATE: Dina saves me from being tied up and i save her from being strangled. we are trnna escape the building full of WLM and i j wanna say I am moving a lot faster than I expected but also developing high blood pressure from all this anxiety. J finished w the people on the roof entering a room on the roof now..

Update: im stuck in this corner and I have no idea how this is gonna go out and im nervous and have no idea if I can pull this off successfully. also not too long ago i had received a new bomb and sets off when the enemy is near (my absolute fav). I hate that there is a lot less resources but it makes me think more about how i use everything.. so I guess that's good.

Update: made our way all the way to the TV station. there was times where i thought it was gonna be too difficult to complete wo being lectured but I happened to manage. Kinda proud of myself. oh also the game tried to pull the thing where there's 1 person , left but they wont tell you but oh me oh my his head went across the room anyways xo

P.S.: I don't know if i like this game as much as I liked the last one. The last one had a very purposeful plot in which Ellie was needed to save the world until there was a twist in which her life was on the line. But so far, In this play-through I feel like though it circulates so much on vengeance that It doesn't feel like the Ellie we learned to love from the previous game. I understand she is older now but when she gets her vengeance what then? Nothing happens, Joel will still be dead, the world is still in knee-deep in shit and as many story's morals go: "revenge cant make you feel better, and its best not to do it." blah blah...you get the idea.
