The Last of Us is my favorite game of all time. This game on the other hand is awful. It's hard to even put into words how disappointing it is. I wanted to like it so much. I constantly watched all the trailers for months, years. I was in shock and confusion over what happens in the first act and it just gets progressively worse as it goes on. The best parts of The Last of Us are the little happy, heart-warming moments, looking at the capital building at sun rise, the car ride to Pittsburgh, Ellie's jokes, Henry and Joel talking about Harley's, the moment's from left Behind, the Halloween shop, brick throwing contest, the merry-go-round, the arcade, playing Jak X, playing the turning, the water gun fight dancing on the display case, Riley and Ellie's Kiss, and the most important of all of them the giraffe scene. There are none of those moment's in this game. Everything in this game is miserable, uninteresting, messy, and boring. The very few good moment's are immediately halted. The visuals were not that impressive, I think Uncharted 4 looked a million times better. The Gameplay felt sluggish and not responsive, and probably one of the biggest letdowns is that the soundtrack sucked, It felt so generic and boring. It felt like they were trying to recapture the music of the first game but it just sucked. The story was horrible both from what actually happens in the game and also from a writing and storytelling perspective. This may be hard to believe but I played the whole game in one go. It took me 23 hours to finish. I did not sleep because I knew I wouldn't be able to. It is so miserable that I wanted to get to the end to hopefully get some sort of closure and a tiny bit of happiness but nope. I get these flash Images of the ending in my head and it makes me want to throw up, that's how bad it is. Weather it was intentional or not, I don't care. I really really really wanted to love this game. I love everything that The Last of Us and Naughty Dog represented, but this was spirit killing. Ellie has been my hero for seven years, she would always give me hope. but in this game, she let me down so much. The Last of Us will always have a special place in my heart, but as far as I am concerned, this game does not exist. For me The Last of Us Ends with Ellie saying okay.
