i beat the game it was really fun, people say gameplay is outdated but no your just stupid shut up. the story is very meh, you play as a side character for basically the amount you play as ellie, its not fun at all and feels like its used to stretch out game time, people saying this game is woke and have a agenda is sorta right, there is a trans girl who is 8, and causes about 20% of the story or something, it feels very rushed, charcters like joel dont feel like joel and reasons or things happening doesnt feel natural and feels stupid, the story feels like it was created then put in the name the last of us because it needed a franchise to be used for, it feels rushed and used to expand game time, game totally couldve been half the time it is and i would have the same outlook on the game. this GAME feels like the last of us, the story doesnt. BUT the game is incredibly fun, this is a terrible naughty dog game, but a amazing game besides from the story, i would say get it because its really fun, but is stretched out and story has many problems
