They killed off one of the main characters from the first game. A few idiots that were critical of the story sent death threats to the director and some of the voice actors. Regular fans that had issues with the story were lumped in with those rotten apples and labeled racists, homophobes and misogynists. Naughty dog also hired a shell company to copyright strike anyone that was talking about the story leaks before the game came out. Even people that were just discussing the leaks and not showing any images or video. That's just my two cents from my perspective. I just don't see how attacking your customers is good business.

And don't listen to the haters. I paid full price for the game on launch day and don't regret it for a minute. The story isn't quite as good as the first, but it's still outstanding. The only thing I had issues with is that the game can be pretty brutal and draining at times because of the story and the violence. I'd recommend breaks every 2hr or so.
For $20 it's a no-brainer.
also, the first is a fantastic game that everyone should play.

That being said, this is still a fantastic game. The gameplay is more fun than the original, and the visuals are phenomenal. Even better looking on old gen than most current next gen games. The ending to the story is fantastic, although that's obviously just a personal opinion. There are also plenty of great shocks and twists to the story to keep you interested despite the liberal foreplay, much like the first game. Don't let the naysayers bring you down, this game is still worth your time and among the best games out right now at this price, even if not nearly as great of a story as the first game. Although let's be honest, there really isn't another game that has a story that good.
What is the "progressive" message that you're referring to?
The problem many had was that the game doesn't just follow 1 or 2 threads, but about half a dozen so the player never feels like they control one story line with one conclusion.
Now, add to that changing POV where you play both sides (not just play Ellie).
It's not confusing at all, and I think the developers did a great job splitting up the gameplay, BUT, from a story perspective I found it a mess.
Finally, although I think the game is a masterpiece, I felt relieved and completely drained when it ended.
ND really outdid themselves here. Not sure what more they can do apart from further AI improvements and brand new enemy types.
Speaking of AI, with the additional power from the PS5, I think they'll be able to set up more moments with AI fighting against each other.

It is a great game from a technical standpoint. The detail that is in this game is unmatched and it is truly the best looking triple A title from any studio.
The main problem I have is that the main character is flawed and one of the strongest themes is how far you would go for revenge and how that leads you to just lose everything. Almost to try to prove their point the story pushes those consequences to the extreme. This means you end up being forced to do abhorrent deeds and then you are later made to feel bad about the fact that you did it because news flash if you do bad things then usually it doesn't end up well for you. Eventually near the end I was screaming at Ellies poor choices because you can see the train wreck that is coming. You see that she is smart and resourceful and you want to believe she can change but she never does throughout the entire campaign. It becomes a draining and for me an empty experience because Id like to believe that even if I were utterly self consumed with rage and vengeance I wouldn't have made the ridiculous choices she made. In the first game Joel makes one of these decisions that I didn't agree with but it's very justified and you can't blame him for making that decision because for him the risk was worth the reward. In this game Ellie repeatedly makes these similar decisions however the situation is really different because she isn't at all justified and the risks she takes is not at all worth the reward. I really I don't need my stories to end all happy and rainbows. But even in any other setting this game is hard to swallow. Imagine if you were playing a Superman game where Superman was an angsty teen and makes stupid decisions and then bad things happen because of it. It betrays the character and becomes a slogfest because you're just left wondering why they made the story design decisions they did.
TLDR great game visuals and mechanics but questionable story decisions that make the game difficult to play
The story isn't perfect by any means, but deserves a lot more credit than people give it. It's also better than 99.8% of games out there anyways.
