This game is the best content thus far to come out of 2020 and is unlikely to be beaten by any music, film or tv show for the remainder of the year. Those that had a problem with game, I hear you. But I also understand that those people are few and far between, and all the comments (both positive and otherwise) to come out on June 19th should be taken down. This story is LONG and the play through takes at least 30 hours to complete. I played it almost non-stop since Thursday at 11pm ct and didn’t finish it until Sunday morning around 4am. So all those people talking about the game’s ending being terrible or playing as Abby being a waste of time (which doesn’t happen until around hour 15, are not giving this beautiful game an honest review. I get it, you don’t want to see your games changed. This game will not change others. And by the way, the story and graphics are VIOLENT. All those people who are comparing those that like this game are social justice warriors seem to forget that. In my opinion, the only “snowflakes” are those upset that Joel died. I was too, but that is what makes the game’s story so vivid and real. Do you really think every one in an apocalyptic world is going to live happily ever after? Now those people are the social justice warriors. The game’s music was incredible. The score was revised and the play-through contains both original and licensed music which adds to the story. And for those worried about Joel’s death, the player gets several long moments to play as Ellie alongside Joel afterward that are perfectly written and performed. So PLEASE give this game a chance. Honestly, this game could have easily been split into a full game and a DLC (which I believe was their original intention). However, I’m so glad they chose to release everything together. Naughty Dog / Sony, please take these negative reviews with a grain of salt and continue to and don’t be dissuaded from creating more within TLOU universe because of these “haters” that wrote their reviews beforehand. Thankfully, I was able to avoid spoilers before my play-through, and I do think this the ideal way to play the game. Please find out who that jerk who betrayed you all and fire them immediately. Sorry, this review is coming out as angry, but I honestly am angry that so many are taking to these online forums to trash this game. And YouTubers making videos on why this game is bad are saying things that prove they’ve never played through the game. For those that have a problem with Joel’s death, is get it. Even for those that don’t like playing as a girl or a trans person, I definitely don’t get it, but I understand your opinion. But all of you that haven’t given this game the chance it deserves before writing a review, the thousands of people that spend millions of hours making this beautiful looking game a reality should certainly not have to suffer for your ignorance. Thank you, Naughty Dog, for creating an amazing game to help all of us get through this difficult time. We don’t deserve it, but we appreciate it.
