While I don't agree that The Last of Us Part 2 was a disappointing video game, I can't really write this list without bringing it up.

It's worth mentioning because a lot of people out there felt extremely let down by this sequel, and while there are plenty of bad faith criticisms out in the wild and people who decided they hated it before they even had a chance to play it, there's also major pockets of people who have extremely valid and interesting reasons as to why they think it isn't up to snuff.

I might not agree, but I can't argue that The Last of Us Part 2 isn't easily the most divisive video game of the year.
