Here are the many issues with this game spoilers ahead
The gameplay is great visuals are stunning and mechanics are just great
But that can only go so far the story is just so boring and awful instead of focusing on Ellie wanting to be a cure and die for humanity and being mad at Joel for not letting her go through with and maybe making her realize humanity isn’t worth it anymore but no they went for the revenge story and it doesn’t even have the REVENGE AT THE END they kill Joel in the most pathetic way possible by a golf club instead of a heroic sacrifice or some badass way but no it’s where he knew he was being hunted and walks in a room with complete armed strangers alone with his brother and says his real name in front of all of them now if you played TLOU 1 Joel was a hunter and he knew every trap by the book and how to be safe but he was extremely careless and it lead to his death
This game continues to kill great characters like if they were some side characters and they die for being stupid they push a lot of agendas here which feels so forced but let’s cut forward to the
Abysmal ending where Ellie is so close to killing Abby she kills all of her friends that didn’t do anything she without mercy but when it came to the actual killer apparently revenge is bad which is hugely unrealistic Abby killed Joel, Jessie beat up Dina and shot Tommy in the back of the head
And she still doesn’t kill her on top of that she bites 2 of her fingers off and that alone should have made Ellie kill her it would have made anyone kill her but she just doesn’t it leads us for a sequel ending and after this game I doubt anyone would want a part 3
The last scene of the game was very pretty and nice but the story is just so bad and boring and it’s all for nothing it just takes you off the mood no way it’s a 10/10 masterpiece but I played it so you don’t have to! If you liked the game that’s great I’m happy for you but I just didn’t enjoy the story which this game is known for gameplay is great tho and Neil adding himself for that sex scene is just really weird
