Just beat TLOU2 last night. Overall I'd say it was a decent game but overhyped and a little disappointing. My elevator pitch review of it would be that TLOU is an ok game disguised with incredible production value & presentation.

I'd say the weakest part of the game is by far the gameplay. The stealth gameplay is really basic and got stale for me, and I was very disappointed with how bad the AI was (and AI is everything in a stealth game). As I mentioned before, the gameplay is hidden behind a lot of presentation (graphics, gore, enemies acting like they're strategizing with each other, etc) but since the game is like 100,000 hours long, at a certain point the presentation started to wear off.

What I actually ended up liking the best was when you'd be in kind of an open area looting stores or whatever, never knowing if there was going to be a zombie or something in a dark room. I think I would have liked the game more if this was the main focus over battles arenas with humans or infected.

Story-wise I once again felt it was good but not great. I really enjoyed the main theme of the game and thought the idea of two girls having parallel narratives where they're coming to terms with their grief.

while i thought abby and ellie were interesting characters, i can't say i liked any of the other ones, they all felt pretty flat like they existed only to be plot devices for abby/ellie. i disliked how much the story dragged - i got what they were going for with the abby plotline for example but so much of it felt like an unfocused sidequest - and i hated everything about the seraphites, they were cheesy and rarely made sense. at times the story felt unfocused and pretty ham fisted at points (look, we get it, lev and abby is supposed to mirror joel and ellie).

overall not a bad game, i am glad I paid $60 for it and will probably replay the combat encounters again once i've had time away from the game (because using the shotgun and molotovs is too fun). but i cant really understand how people are saying this is a 10/10 game unless they are total non-gamers and just rate games based on their production value.
