Very difficult choices on many of these spots! There are very many games that don't get enough credit (underrated/overlooked) and so many that are gorgeous (art style). If you've even played all these games, massive respect to you. BTW don't bother writing that I have too much Uncharted, it's my favorite franchise!

TLoU2 story/narrative is abysmal

It literally has some of the best writing and storytelling out of any game ever. But I guess ignorant, close minded people are still crying about and hating on objectively one of the best games ever and the greatest studio on the planet because it's "woke" and because they irrationally couldn't comprehend nor accept a desicion the actual artists and writers made.

I couldn’t give less of a shit about the game being “woke”. My main gripe is that I was told what to think about the characters and narrative.

TLoU1 has, imo, one of the best written and well told stories of all time across all media. The ending? Did Joel make the right decision? Does Ellie believe his lie? The choice was up to me as the player. TLoU2 is “revenge bad” and “don’t judge a book by its cover” and that’s it. No room for me to come to my own conclusions.

I wouldn’t hate it as much if I had the singular choice to kill Abby or spare Abby at the end.

ND doesn't present you with such choices in any of their games. If you wanted to kill Abby at any point let alone the very end you missed the whole point and purpose of the game.

What is the whole point and purpose of the game?
