"Hey, I really donโt want to sound like Iโm just copying what others have said, but they make a great point. I played The Last of Us Part II at a friendโs place because he wanted my honest opinionโand honestly, I was really disappointed.
Hereโs my take: Joel, the guy who fought through Runners, Bolters, and ruthless bandits with his bare handsโthat Joelโdies at the hands of some random teenager? This is the man who survived hell and came out on top more than once. When I was hoping for another round of Joel and Ellieโthe iconic duoโI got Abbyโs storyline instead. And to be blunt, I didnโt care for her at all.
What made the first game so powerful was the father-daughter bond between Joel and Ellie. They were double trouble, the perfect team in a broken world. That emotional connection made it more than just a gameโit was an experience.
Sure, the second game is beautiful visually. But without Joel and Ellie, it just doesnโt feel like The Last of Us. So if you ask me, donโt waste your money. Treat Part I as if itโs the only game in the series, and end on a high note. Have a great day."
