The game could've just featured the same exact plot without any of the original characters. They could've just set it on the same universe and present it as a different story.
But no, they had to use already established characters acting out of their personality and negating every development they had on the first game. They just had to use characters players are already well acquainted with and not only kill them in the most anticlimactic way possible but also have them make incredibly stupid decisions.
The whole plot is mediocre on its own but now they're using characters from the first game it just further makes it even more absurd. The first game didn't have an amazing story but the characters were real and likable enough to carry the torch through. This one has a generic story, a generic theme, shits on preestablished characters and introduces new people no one cares about (I will bet my liver you won't remember who Dina is in two weeks). It doesn't even deliver on the ending. "I won't kill you because it will make me as bad as you" yeah right fuck off you slaughtered hundreds of nameless goons and only decided to wash your hands """clean""" at this point
They could've made this game a standalone. People would've bought it off the product name alone. Hell, this could've been an entirely new IP and people will still buy it because Naughty Dog. But no, they decided to shit on characters people already like, create new ones people don't care and end it on the most unsatisfying way possible.
But there's the graphics and the animation and the gameplay-
Remember during the PS4 launch people looked at The Order 1884 and thought "holy shit fluid graphics and amazing animation"? This game will exactly be that, but it'll be remembered forever just for being a sequel that was never needed and still found a way to fuck up a franchise that was dead on arrival.
