I'm writing a much bigger piece on this because there's so much to speak on with this game, but to say the very least, Part II is an incomprehensible mess of a game.
I have no issues with any of the "spoiler-y" bits, I'm not mad cause "lady person have muscles," or any other of that bigoted nonsense. My issue comes from the disjointed narrative, hypocritical thematic presence, and that it's (at the VERY least) 5 hours too long.
Technically speaking, The Last of Us Part II is as solid as can be. Although I experienced a few technical hiccups while playing, the game is absolutely solid on a visual and audio front. It's a total shame, though that nearly everything else surrounding the gameplay, visuals, music, and so forth run laps around any of the bits that are trying to be "artsy" and so forth.
Wasted potential is the best way to describe this game, and I honestly think we really didn't need another Last of Us after the first.
