If I would have known before purchasing that I will be forced to play with a women with muscles bigger than mine, I would have never bought this game. I'm just filled with disgust about the fact that this is forced upon you as a player, and at least not even given a choice on how to customize the characters you play with.
I am just a PC player, I really don't care about Joel or this franchise, or about LGBTQ or the political messages the devs try to transmit, but I really do care about a game being a fun game as it is supposed to be by definition, and not be FORCED by devs. to play with a unusual herculean character - I'm just full of disgust.
The game is spectacular on graphics and gameplay mechanics ... but it is just ruined by such stupid decisions made by the devs by not giving players the option to make choices on how they play, it was preferred instead to just shove 'messages' . I just feel so frustrated to have wasted my money and will definitely never buy again anything created by this Company, not before seeing an actual review ; such a shame as it could have been an iconic product.
Just keep things simple, make games, or go to Hollywood and make movies if you want to create messages instead of actual FUN GAMES.
