Don't listen to all the 1-star reviewers that watched some streamer play the game for them & immediately jumped in on the 1-star bandwagon because they felt disheartened about a certain outcome.
After finally completing the game....
This game manages to make you care about the characters in the game in a beautiful way. Think of all the 1-star haters as proof of how a game is making you as a player feel a certain way to an event in the story.
The mechanics is great, people comment about the terrible mechanics as they watch someone else play the game for them. You might as well start saying all sports are easy because I watched some guy do it.
Stunning visuals, great combat. Naughty dog found ways to keep the combat fresh and clean in the sequel.
All in all, I highly suggest for once in your life to listen to those professional video game reviewers (because they themselves played the game) rather than these 1-star simps.
