No Spoilers The last of us 2 butchers the character development created in the first story only to replace it with boring undeveloped characters which the player will never find empathy for. The whole story is based around revenge which feels like a petty reason for our characters on both sides of the story to travel across an apocalyptic US killing hundreds when you consider that the motivation in the first story was to save all of humanity. The story of this game feels like a twisted and violent revenge porn fantasy with character decision making of a fan fiction. The decisions made by our characters are nonsensical and require the player to overlook massive plot holes. Even overlooking the appalling story there still is no reason to play this game, in the first game we got to experience love and hope which helped us endure the horrible world we were thrust into. In this game we experience violence, sadness, anger, and hopelessness, there is no reprieve from the negative emotion. The characters we loved from the first game are wiped out, not just in terms of their life but also their personality, and the ones who end up surviving have quite literally lost everything. To games journalists It’s hilarious seeing these shills that call themselves critics already posting articles about how people giving this game negative reviews is homophobia and transphobia since there hasn’t been enough time since release for the game to be played. Yes the game was released 12 hours ago in US time zones but NOT EVERYONE LIVES IN AMERICA, people in New Zealand have had this game for almost 24 hours longer. And content creators were given this game a day early meaning people have had plenty of time to experience the game. If they were actually to take the time to read some of these ‘homophobic/transphobic’ reviews they would see that 99% of them don’t mention anything lgbtq, their criticisms lie with the storytelling and decision making of the characters.

Andor is incredibly well written and entertaining. The show starts off slow and boring although quickly picks up. Andor is definitely less star wars than any of the other shows, almost all of the characters are new. So, if you're looking to see familiar faces and lightsaber battles, Andor won't give you that. But if you're looking for a great well written star wars show where the decisions of the characters and the direction of the show makes sense then this is for you. I can't wait for a season 2, this show has the potential to revitalize star wars universe.
