*SPOILER WARNING*
I love the gameplay, details and graphics..... but the way Neil wrote the story and changed the characters is what ruins the whole game entirely. It’s just about revenge basically, the way they treated Joel and gave him a pathetic death making his character different from the first game. I get why they wanted us to feel sympathy to justify Abby’s action on killing Joel but come on, it was pathetic on how it they tried to make that work. The only parts I enjoyed personally was Joel and Ellie’s bond with their flashbacks showing a father-daughter relationship. In my opinion, the sequel should’ve sticked with the flashbacks only without involving Abby in it. It felt like it was all written last minute, I love ‘The Last of Us’ but I’m disappointed how the sequel was written. I wish the game followed from it’s previous title, I hope Neil can take the constructive criticism and give the fans what they want. The worse part was the ending, Ellie had a chance to have closure from killing Abby. I understand why she stopped from her, but the whole point of the bad written story was to get revenge. If the ending is going to lead to another sequel then it should be written better.
