The first game had some of the best writing in video games, it's not fair to say it wasn't anything special in that regard. As for the gameplay, its a matter of taste.

Yes high expectations tend to ruin things quite often, luckily I played the game when it came out and didn't read any reviews, so it was a really nice surprise. If everyone keeps telling you how X is the best thing ever, then obviously when you play it, it ll never live up and feel mediocre, I get that.

Also loved TLoU story to death. Characters, setting and story was perfect for me. Music is great, i was sitting on menu for 7-8 minutes just to listen to the theme song. As for gameplay.. it's great, nothing out of the ordinary but tight and good combat, it took me about 5 minutes to fall in love with the game.

So all 10/10 now?
The game is really good and not a woke sjw nightmare anymore? I am asking for real since I will get it if it's not bullshit like in leaks.
Sony/ND were real dicks for the last month with all the copyrights strikes and so on. The review embargo is also very restrictive so it's hard to say for sure...
But the reviews are crazy good and I do have the cash right now...

Wokeness is there.
Does it matter if it's a good game?

44 full perfect 10/10s from various outlets
https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2020/06/12/the-last-of-us-part-2-reviews-say-its-the-best-ps4-exclusive-with-44-perfect-scores/#1794381409e3
| Quote: | The Last Us Part 2 currently has a 96 on both Metacritic and OpenCritic, a deeply impressive score that reflects 44 full perfect 10/10s from various outlets, including heavy hitters like IGN and Game Informer.
That 96 score makes it the best-reviewed PS4 exclusive of the entire generation, putting it above Persona 5 Royal (95), God of War (94), Metal Gear Solid 5 (93) and Uncharted 4 (93). It’s also a tick above The Last of Us Remastered at a 95. The only two PlayStation 4 (or Xbox One, for the matter) games to score higher are Red Dead Redemption at 97, and GTA 5 also at a 97, though that one was cross-gen. |
May the NFOrce be with you always.

I think Skill Up is on point, this is similar to Star Wars where it's suddenly important to deconstruct the characters from something we liked to something that is unfamiliar and often doesn't make sense. It's full-on Hollywood 2020.
There are no choices in the game and expect your character to do a lot of very questionable ones and then the game will lecture you about how bad that choice (that you didn't even make) was.
I've also heard from several now that the game really, really drags, that the story is incredible uneven.
It seems to be nowhere near the first apart from better graphics and some mechanics are improved. I'm gonna get it second hand in a few months.
Buy it and sell it quickly after finished and you'll not pay that much for it.. if you can't bother with that i would stay clear of it. I would really not even recommend supporting these people tbh..

very expected.. just like many new SJW Hollywood movies gets 10/10 from the sites, and 2/10 from the viewers. Just look at Rotten Tomatoes how uneven this ratio is often.

these sites means absolutely nothing to me, The Guardian etc. I'm totally done with both movie and gaming sites. I only listen to a bunch of independent people on YT, people that i trust and that i historically agree with on most things. Overall user scores can sometimes be interesting too, at least far more so than woke gaming or movie sites.
Again, i think Skill Up is far, far more credible than any of these sites, he brought up what was good and what was bad, he doesn't come off as someone with an agenda. To me the bad seems to outweigh the good parts. I still want to play it though to see what its about.

Yeah, it's often an interesting look into the mind of incels, where every female protagonist, that doesn't wear high heels and the skimpiest set of armor she could find is an attack on "gamer culture" and every instance of LGBT is "woke" and "SJW-pandering". No worries, there will definitely be enough 1/10 user "reviews" because Elli is just too butch (I mean, yeah, it's the apocalypse but can't she at least do her hair or put on some make up?!!) and in a kill-or-be-killed world she survives by actually killing instead of hiding behind her big and strong male mentor.
It's annoying. I hate militant feminism, I hate "influencers" and people that just have to have a spotlight on them. But the gaming community does have a problem with putting behind them some very backwards views. Lesbian? Sure, as long as it is two HOT girls making out! Gay? Alright, but turn it up to 11 and play it for laughs. Trans? Bury it in the source code, because the moment the character mentions something about it, it is obviously only because of some "agenda". There is some blame on devs here, as these themes often get handled clumsily. But maybe these issues have to be put in a bright light, at least as long as every time a game deals with those themes it generates the kind of reactions it does now. You won't change most peoples worldview, no matter what, Trumps followers are living proof of that. But you can change the medium they like and maybe some day (user) reviews about a game with a gay, butch, female main character won't even have to mention those attributes.

People don't give a shit about people's sexual orientation, race or how people look. As long as you write a good story with believable characters, guess what, buyers are gonna dig that. No one is expecting a game like Last of Us to have big breasted, half-naked sexy women everywhere, that's a really lame idea of how any of this works.
What they're doing is underestimating people's intelligence, because clearly its very easy for us to tell when something is well-written and natural / makes sense or when someone is changed /shoe-horned into the story for political / agenda reasons, or when it's clear that it's bait or trolling.
Who the hell wants to feel like a game is trying to lecture you about shit, what gives a multi-millionaire video game developer in his little safe-bubble the credibility for something like that? These very privileged cucks are often far younger than what i am, with far less life-experience, with far less knowledge about politics and history. I have no interest in their politics or agendas, and i don't go to games or movies for that. I go to games and movies because i might need a break from real-world politics.
This will not last though, eventually making money and instead doing really well written story + characters will win over pandering to a certain (often small and very loud and radical) group.
