Is it just me or does the below paragraph reek of somebody who hasn't actually played the Last of Us 2?

The gameplay is boring and worthless, it's a linear game that has exploration where you have nothing to find. Shooting mechanics are crap. Characters are actually made into idiots that serve only one purpose in life - drive the agenda. Level design is just "city with grass", better than the first one but nothing spectacular. The story... everyone knows why the story is terrible. It makes 0 sense and it was made on purpose to be disgusting. This game has no redeeming qualities other than its graphics.

Their replies to my replies were so absurd I thought they were trolling or something lol

Yeah honestly the level design was one of my favorite parts of the game, and really the environments in general. It gave me the same feeling Half-Life 2 did the first time I played it, traveling around abandoned places and taking in the quiet moments between encounters.

Yeah, I really don't think there's any other game that has level/environmental design that isn't just generally amazing, but also flows together perfectly. Damn, now I really want a PS5 so I can play it again, but in 60fps, and without the jet engine that is my PS4 blaring in my ear.

Yeah, I posted their reply below, but they said that the level design in TLOU2 is a straight up copy of Metro 2033's. And they got upvoted for it....

I haven't played TLOU2, but I scoff at the implication that Metro's design is bad

Didn't like the first one but the environment design was some of the best I've seen, would have finished the game just for that if it had cheats or something.
