Tan Dao

I've been an avid fan of the series since they released the color trailers back in ~2013, and followed it closely after realizing it was spearheaded by Monty Oum who had produced some amazing standalone projects such as Haloid and the Dead Fantasy series. He's always shown a mastery in fighting choreography and fast-faced action that's unparalleled in the industry even to this day, several years after his passing. If you're new to this series, come into it with an open mind and understand that the writing and animation are pretty rough around the edges early on. The show heavily leans on the action sequences to carry it until Volume 3, where the writers really step up to the plate.

There's a VERY loud crowd of people that dislike this game, and it's primarily as a result of a beloved character getting hurt early in the story. Say what you want about the narrative, but regardless it doesn't deserve to be grouped into categories akin to Game of Thrones Season 8 or Disney Star Wars. The writers tried something incredibly bold and KNEW that early on it would split the fanbase. I could go on a rant for days about the points a lot of people missed by not learning to let go of that hatred, but you can't deny that the brutal stealth gameplay in TLOU2 is unmatched. If this game was released as a standalone without any expectations attached to the story, it'd be praised to the moon and back.
