Overall, TLOU2 is a game about consequences. It isn't easy to get through, and it takes turns and risks that many other studios wouldn't have dared. For that alone, it deserves accolades. While I can't claim to personally agree with every decision made by the creative team, I can certainly see their logic and appreciate that they crafted a finely tuned story which had me hooked from beginning to end. This is on top of the absolutely stellar performances given by the entire cast, but particularly by the two leads. It is certainly not a game you ought to judge by the cover, or by any review based on leaks and misinformation. It really needs to be played personally in order to be judged appropriately.
