I actually finished #TLOU2
yesterday and I'm surprised to say that this is not only my favorite Naughty Dog game but one of the best games I've played this entire generation. Pacing and some writing issues aside, this is an incredible package that I personally put above Part 1

I'm aware that the story is polarizing but I approached it with an open mind and was grabbed from the first second. The world feels bigger in scope and more fleshed out while its inhabitants feel livelier than ever thanks to excellent acting that you just don't see in most games
It's also a.. bittersweet tech powerhouse. *Absurd* amounts of polish, asset variety, FX magic (that GLASS) and unique gameplay segments - yet whenever I go "how did they even made this", I remember those reports about ND and I hope the concerns of affected workers has been heard
So yeah, I *really* enjoyed the game. I can understand people being angry at certain decisions re: the narrative but personally I'm glad they went for risky choices
(Also, big shoutout to my launch PS4 that for some reason just did not blow up in my living room)
