I would like to start by saying that I am not calling out people who hate the game. In fact, I would genuinely like to have a constructive conversation about why people hate this game. Having just finished the game, I came out of it feeling like it was a great game.
Was it as good as the first TLOU? No. Was it one of the best games that I have played this year? Absolutely! Out of all the Triple A games that I have played this year, RE3, FFVII Remake, Nioh 2 etc, This game easily tops that list. How FFVII remake (which was a 2 or a 3 out of 5 imo) has a 4.5 rating on google reviews while this game has a 2.4/5 review score absolutely bewilders me.
If anyone wants to have a friendly debate please do message me! (: I'm willing to change my mind about the game if I can see it from the perspective of someone who hates the game
