Did you do a review for it? I thought you might have but i can't find it if you did.

cikame No, I didn't review TLOU2. Here are my quick thoughts on it though:

It was an "OK" game. I thought that the game was probably twice as long as it needed to be. It really, really dragged on in parts. I liked both main characters and the split yet interwoven storyline between them.

Naughty Dog yet again forces players into these game situations that force you to be excessively violent no matter what your preferred choice is. I mean, just look at the term ludonarrative dissonance and see how many times Naughty Dog's games are brought up.

I came away from the game feeling... well, rather underwhelmed. I was just glad it was over for how long it took to get there. I'd have probably given it a 3 out of 5, maybe a 4 out of 5 depending. It was well put together. Everything was "good" that was there. The visuals were amazing. The acting was phenomenal. The forced combat felt varied enough and the AI was pretty top notch. It was "good" in that sense.

This isn't even taking into account Naughty Dog's excessive crunch or anything outside of the game itself really. I just... Let's just say, if they never made another Last of Us game again, I would be perfectly fine with that.

Yeah i'm the same, this might be the first example of a game that is SO serious and "real" that the act of playing it and having fun feels at odds with what it's trying to achieve.
I just can't get past the idea that these characters are so hell bent on revenge and pain and agony in this post apocalyptic world when they should have more important things to do, like farming, building, anything at all really, though i'm probably missing the subtleties as i decided not to play it, i didn't enjoy the first game enough to be excited for it.
There are dark and depressing works of fiction that win awards because they're so miserable and that's how i see the positive reception to the game, it's excellent at being devoid of joy so it will be recognised for that, it's just not for me.
