Not seen the leaks for The Last of us 2 and the reviews are good but there is uproar about this game right now saying its disgusting and the reviews have all been bought.
It's all going to be tainted now from a review perspective, there are probably not going be a lot of 3 star reviews here: bought and paid for reviews will skew to a 5, people who are annoyed with that '
practice', but still thought it was ok will skew towards a 1 in response.
Based on some of the reviews I've seen, game play sounds legitimately good, and a lot of the "themes" are nowhere near as front-and-center as had been reported.
Also, I think the leaks actually may work in it's favor? people who were upset with certain story elements have had a decent amount of time to be at peace with them before it's even released.
Still, curious to see some actual unembargoed gameplay though, so far all I've seen is Ellie crawling through long grass, not sure I can handle 25 hours of that...
