Très bien, mon ami!

I just started my playthrough of
The Last of Us Part 2
I'm only an hour into it, and I've put it down right at a moment when things seem to be ratcheting up towards something awful. I wanted to get into it right after the launch, but I'm too tired to fully enjoy it, so I'll leave it for tomorrow.
But it's looking pretty great. Graphics, sound and gameplay are pretty much top notch. But that's not the worrying part. I'm curious but also a bit scared about the story. I think the drama with the leaks has gotten to me, at least a little bit. I don't remember ever going into a game with dread.
We shall see. I'm not upposed to a divisive plot, as long as I feel it's earned.
The current metascore for TLoU2 is 95/100, with 94 critic reviews and a lot of 100s. Damn, my physical copy will take ages to arrive.
I hope you're having a great fun

One thing is for sure. Neil Druckmann has balls of steel. And I wonder if the studio and Sony are gonna hate him for it. They don't care about risky decisions. They likely care more about not challenging their audience, and keeping them happy and content.
I'm going to start using Opencritic instead of Metacritic, because I can't stand the user score system. It's pointless. Almost everyone just rates everything a 0 or a 10, narrow-minded agendas about, and half of the scores pop up before the people posting them could have played a fraction of the game. I don't give a shit whether one thinks TLoU2 is a great game or a disappointment or whatever, on no planet it is a 3.3 game out of 10.
I'll be curious to hear your opinion.
I'm about 7h into it, but I've not gotten very far since I literally explore everything. That's one thing this game has got in spades. The atmosphere and exploration and environmental storytelling is unmatched. Regardless of what you think about the story, all other elements are superb. I could spend forever exploring crumbled buildings, abandoned structures and underground facilities.
I'm still awful at the shooting part, and most cases if all hell breaks loose, I need to cheese it and run around, trying to melee enemies as much as possible, and then try and use a shotgun. I'm hopeless with a pistol or anything that requires precision. I am playing on Hard, since I don't want it too easy. But I have repeated a lot of combat set pieces. One thing that this one does way better than the first game is how frequent the save points are, if you don't leave the game. Most of the time that is. Other times it does seem to restart your whole combat setpiece.
And oh, man does it look gorgeous. I don't think I've seen foliage and trees/grass as lush as in this game. Amazing.
If you're telling me TLoU2 has lots of exploratory areas, more deeper than the first game, then I already fell in love with it
