I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic because we haven't seen any proper gameplay yet. Naughty Dog has yet to disappoint me, but this trailer just doesn't show enough of the actual game to make any proper judgements yet. As for the mixed reaction, the moment they showed a female protagonist who wasn't conventionally attractive the reaction from a certain subset of "fans" was pretty much guaranteed. At this point all it takes is to have a woman in a leading role in a video game and the usual crowd of very sad people will start crying "woke" and "DEI". They pretty much instantly jump to conclusions without seeing or knowing anything else about the game, the main character, or the story, which is exactly what happened here.
