The game is not too “woke”. Even if it were, “woke” is not a bad thing; using diverse characters to show that it’s okay to be different is not a negative. So many of the reviews on here are bad takes from people who didn’t even play it…they saw someone raging on it. It may not appeal to everyone who has followed the series through, and that’s fine. I have played since DAO, and I loved it. Take that’s for what it’s worth.

Personally it’s an amazing game...I think most people that hate on it would only be happy if it told the story that they specifically wanted. It takes them out of there comfort zone and they aren’t happy about it. Forced to face the reality that the end of the first game had very real consequences for other innocent people and loved ones, they’d rather ignore the fact that Joel’s choice was a rather selfish one that meets its reckoning on the end of another selfish choice. What happens in this game is no less justified than the choice Joel made at the end of the first, chew on that for a bit. If your looking for a feel good story, then it’s not for you. But if your looking for a story that looks deeper into the shades of gray that make up the human psyche, you won’t be disappointed.
