Is it weird that since the PS4, most of their big 1st party narrative-heavy exclusives launch with universal acclaim, then they make a sequel and they are ALWAYS overshadowed by controversy? The big example is The Last of US/TLoU2, but it has happened to Spiderman, God of War, Horizon, and now to Ghosts of Tsushima. Haven't played any of these myself, so I've only read about those enough to avoid spoilers, but the pattern is clear.

God of War you might have had some people going nuts with Agraboda's reveal but overall I saw massive acclaim for that.  Horizon has a bigger controversy now with the damn remaster of a 2017 game instead of having nixxes get some PS3 games running natively lol

There's degrees to it but the TLOU2 and Spidey 2 examples are pretty much just the core writing of the game taking a nosedive even if there was 1 or 2 points that drew the most ire 

I agree that the writing nosedived in SM2,mostly because it tried too many things. With the whole dual protagonist thing and it had a lot of filler content.

For TLOU p2 I am not sure if the writing was all that bad, but the ending and the dual protagonist was surely controversial.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
