can ANYONE tell me why they like Part 2 WHILE also acknowleding its flaws and criticism received?

it's really alienating me as a newer fan of the series how toxic the discussion is. neither side wants to give, it's either "this game is absolutely perfect" or "this is the worst thing i've ever played" and all the discussions are just one side incomprehensibly raging at the other side and it's honestly terrible

i felt lukewarm about 2. i think 1 was better, and i'd like to know if maybe this was something other people experienced, maybe i wasn't the target demographic, perhaps there was something i missed on my first playthrough, etc etc

seriously sucks how such a great game has what i feel is such a toxic fanbase
