I probably would have hated TLOU 2's story if I hadn't gone into it already knowing the plot – its nihilism and grim outlook on the nature of people would have been exhausting otherwise – but since I knew what it was going to be like going into it, I was able to enjoy the story a fair bit. It still has a lot of problems of course: its themes are not very deep or interesting despite the writers clearly thinking that they are, the idea that a violent and depressing story = an intelligent and mature story permeates the whole thing and is just tiring, and character's motivations don't always make a ton of sense. But, its characters are mostly likable and there's some good moments between them. And the gameplay is fun and the visuals are quite nice too look at. So, all in all it's an enjoyable game in my opinion – despite being deeply flawed.
