What makes The Last of Us 2 “the one who praises the heavens, the other who criticizes it badly”

Referring to the most anticipated games of this year, it would be a big mistake not to talk about it The Last of Us 2. The gaming community became even more enthusiastic when the game received high ratings from review sites. However, when it has only been officially released for a few hours, the game has suffered countless bricks and stones from gamers themselves. On the Metacritic site, if the average score of review sites for the game is 95/100, this number is only 3.9/10 in players (based on nearly 50,000 player comments).​

​

One of the reasons why gamers’ evaluation scores with The Last of Us 2 is so low because a part of gamers who only experienced the game for a few hours rushed to evaluate. The Last of Us 2 is about 25-30 hours long, but just a few hours after launch we have seen gamers pouring in to evaluate the game, which means they have only played a small part of the game. Or maybe they just watched the livestream from the streamers, but haven’t even bought the game, haven’t really played the game.​

​

Of course, the gaming community also has many things to really dislike about The Last of Us 2. First, the game uses LGBT characters, intimate scenes between Ellie and the girlfriend is one of the controversial details and makes the game lose points with players. Second, as it is known that the plot of the game was leaked ahead of time, when there was no full context, some people did not like these revealed details. Third, perhaps some gamers have played the game for the first few hours, but the details in this part make them “bloody”.

In the first part of the game, The Last of US 2 appears a new character, Abby, she is also the one who killed Joel cruelly. Abby is the daughter of Dr. Firefly – whom Joel killed to save Ellie. As it is known that Joel and Ellie are two very beloved characters from the first part of the series, Joel’s death at the beginning of the game could not help but make many fans feel disappointed, now if you don’t drop 1 star, you still have to wait until when. In addition, the game offers too many perspectives, each character has a deep grudge against his opponent, which makes things more complicated and difficult to solve when there is no nonsense or great justice. for.​

​

From here, it is possible to understand part of the reason for the huge disparity between the reviews of critic sites and the gaming community. When the editors were able to play the game when the game was not spoiled and were forced to play all or play most of the game for review, gamers experienced the game when there were too many leaks, plus the death of the beloved character. liking the first part of the game somewhat makes the player feel more depressed.​
