Last of us part 2 is a great story as well. It gets a lot of hate online, but a LOT of that hate is cuz the game not only has lesbian characters, but it also has a trans character, and a woman with muscles character. And that’s just way too much woke apparently.

Yes, 2 had a lot of re-used locations. Some of them did make sense, as the story was almost entirely set within a single city, so certain locations are bound to pop up multiple times, especially as the game takes place over a decade or so.

But the real reason, 2 was developed and rushed out the door in like a year or something? It was a ridiculously short amount of time to develop a sequel to a game as big as DA:O. Unsurprisingly, this led to a LOT of re used assets and locations.
