The first game was full of characters with nuances with many motivations. The second part cannot be judged without having played it, just because the main motive that guides one of the characters is hatred and revenge. I think your analysis is very hasty.
Well, it's based on what Druckman said about the game, about his reason for creating it. And although you state that I shouldn't judge the game just because "one of the characters" is driven by anger and revenge, that is not "one of the characters," it's the main/lead character, around whom the game is centered.
I acknowledge that this is just my impression. However, that is all anyone has, at this point, including those who are expressing very enthusiastic views.
I'll play the game eventually. But my initial impression is that I wouldn't enjoy its thematic focus (the effects of violence) or the main character's motivation (anger, revenge). The alleged wokeness is also a bit off-putting, although that's secondary.
Anyhow, I'm likely to wait for a while before picking it up. I'll be following impressions and reviews.
