I love the first one and I'd recommend it to anyone. Although the original is a tragedy, it feels more like a classic tragic adventure, and everything was meaningful and full of hope. The end was kinda of a giving, I think no one would expect a proper fix for the disease. But still, the road trip was meaningful and could always get to a good settlement, even without a cure.
Now, driving mad women through revenge, is an absolutely inferior proposition by all means.
LOL yes. I admit that would be glad with a Jackson community building game or at least a sequel written by Steven Spilberg a la Falling Skies.
And just to clarify a few things, I don't know much about the political background of reviewers but in my case I'm not adding anything political and my point is not about violence only.
I also can agree that it's a sincere work, which is a good thing, but still sincerely miserable and ugly.

Well, as I wrote to KLA Marine a few pages ago (direct link), I've reached the conclusion in my replays that the ending of The Last of Us Part II is actually a hopeful one if you pay attention to the details. At least that's how I interpret it anyway.
Concerning your preference that this game should've either been a Jackson community-building title or written by Steven Spielberg...well at least you got half your wish with all the Jurassic Park and Lost World references and allusions both at the museum and in the auto chase scene (allusion to the Lost World arcade game). It's kind of like Steven Spielberg was involved.

Oh it's definitely a happy,hopefull ending. Infact this is the best possible ending i could imagine for a game set in that kinf of world, the theme of tlou. I can't praise neil or halley grossman enough, or the other guy everyone forgets about. Not only does ellie save abby and lev from dying a horrible death at the stakes,( abby and lev probably suffered more than joel at that point) , ellie saves her soul in the process by not going through the act at the end, and she definitely gets back with dina and jj, jesses parents. Abby and lev make a fresh start with the fireflies. what more could you want. If this game was uncharted, joel would be alive, but this isn't uncharted.
