Part 9/12:
While critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with many critics praising TLOU2’s story and gameplay, public opinion appears more divided. Druckmann expressed pride in the positive reviews and personal accolades from team members, who called it the best game they've worked on, but he also acknowledged the existence of dissent.
He underscored how media outlets and interviews often favor outlets that awarded near-perfect scores, perhaps implying that the review process is somewhat curated or influenced by access and relationships within the industry. Critics have pointed out that the game’s high-profile coverage may have been biased toward favorable opinions.
