If you as a rational mature, thoughtful, critical person played TLOU and then played TLOU2 and maybe saw/read all the popular opinion (maybe youtubers, twitch streams, leaks or just downright comments sections) - there are two things that could have happened.
First as a rational, mature, thoughtful person you still thought oh man this game is just bad and writing is bad or - You thought man this game surpasses the first one on so many fronts!
Yes people and youtubers have tried to dissuade me that this is just bad but I played the game and I understand the choices and the questions asked by the this game. I have in my personal life suffered and still suffer survivor's guilt so I get it. Never let ratings or others opinion influence you - make your own choices and if after playing it you still feel like giving it a low score - I would be very surprised and disappointed in you.
EDIT: No one finds it useful. Sounds about right. Game of the Year.
