What made the original Last of Us so beautiful was the poignant story of hopelessness and love between two vastly different characters. Although the gameplay and setting were amazing, the game was more about the relationship between Ellie and Joel, and not as much about killing zombies. Naughty Dog took arguably the best videogame story ever and made it an overglorified revenge quest filled with bland characters.
ALSO: what the hell is wrong with these devs bro. They decided that last of us community who waited 7 years to see ellie and joel back in action decided that they want to kill off every good character. Kinda trash.
