I feel like the only people who like the last of us 1 and hate 2 are (hexbear.net)

Who played the first game (wrongly) as a sort of power fantasy. Neil druckman has said Joel was a bad person and not a hero.

Imo he got what he deserved.

I also think last of us 2 is a great (albeit brutal) game

I liked TLoU, and I wouldn't say I hate the second one, but I definitely didn't like it.

The viewpoint switch half-way trough was just such a weird storytelling choice. It didn't work at all for me.

After you've played trough half the game and (hopefully) gotten invested in it, it just suddenly expects you to play the rest of the game as someone else you have zero reason to care about, and it basically starts a completely different plot that feels unrelated to what came before.

By the time they got back to Ellie for the final part, I was so bored I had just stopped caring. Maybe more competent writers could have pulled something like that off, but the Tlou2 team definitely didn't.

I agree, the switching-sides thing was much better handled in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (plus it had the chao garden!).
