The Last of Us Part 2 releases very soon for PS4, and if you believe the Metacritic reviews, it's destined to be a classic that goes down in history as one of the greatest video games of all time. Numbers aren't everything, however, and there are a lot of dissenting opinions that aren't reflected in the Metacritic score. Furthermore, many of the glowingly positive reviews are, shall we say, questionable, making extreme claims and using bloated, flowery language that hints at a putrid reality lurking beneath. Then again, some of the reviewers come right out and say that the game isn't fun or enjoyable, and in fact was never meant to be so. Is this the new reality? Are aspects like entertainment value and player enjoyment optional? Can an unenjoyable game also be the greatest game of all time? Vesper Tomlinson looks at what some of the top-scored reviews have to say, and some of it sounds pretty insane.
