How people hate on this game so much is beyond me, the story didn't follow conventional paths and that's the best thing about it from my opinion, and its also the thing that is most Criticised, i found it extremely engaging and it kept me hooked from start to finish with some real emotional beats and shocking plot twists, the graphics are some real eye candy, never has decay and destruction looked so good, the gameplay isn't innovative but it isn't bad either, i really liked how much patience is needed, the gameplay goes from super easy to completely realistic
The unconventional direction of the story is what got the biggest criticism and i struggle to understand why.
Overall i can't give the last of us II enough praise, its a real experience and i would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the first game.
