Maps are too small. I don't like the arcade style, thought this would be more of a space sim. Campaign suffers from the same lame storyline as Battlefront 2. Really just wanted an HD version of X-Wing from the 90's. Instead this is run of the mill EA Star Wars shoot em till you drop leave your brain at the door, might as well be Counter Strike. Returned my copy on Steam will purchase when it's $5 in a year or so when the bugs are (maybe) worked out and nobody is playing anymore.

So I have mixed feelings. Very mixed. I'm a huge fan of the original. This game? Incredibly ambitious story. Great visuals. I felt like the new characters were weak. I just never got into them. The story was ambitious but poorly executed. Seattle playing as Ellie felt too long. Her relationship with Dina is overly simplistic and boring. Dina is annoying. Likable, but annoying. I liked playing as Abby sometimes but didnt have the sympathy for her I think I was supposed to. So it was a chore playing as her for so long. Although her levels were more interesting and varied. Just emotionally I didnt connect. Characters like Joel and Tommy make stupid choices, Ellie makes stupid choices and acts like someone else. Gameplay is ok but stealth kills begin to feel repetitive. Every time a Clicker kills me it's the same death animation with no variance no matter what. The AI gets predictable but is interesting sometimes. Just wish there was some innovative gameplay here. Nope. I would give this an 8/10 if the story was good, maybe a 9/10 if the story was great. As it is I give the visuals a 9/10, the audio a 9/10, the story a 0/10 and characters 2/10, gameplay is a 6/10, overall I'd never play this game again and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Technically should rate it a 5/10 but the story is so bad I just can't. RIP Naughty Dog
