The Last of Us: Part 2

!Spoilers!

Gameplay and graphically, the game is not bad, but the plot (the main component for which fans loved the first part) let us down.

It’s not even about the LGBT trend, although the developers point it out, it still remains somewhere in the background.

Two jambs: The beginning of the game and its end. (Subjective)

Beginning:

The “wrong” death of the main character, the last part, Joel Miller. The fans took this plot device very poorly, and they can be understood. The character is extremely charismatic and you quickly become attached to him. It was necessary to kill “heroically” or something. This is still a character that fans love. And so they beat the old man to death at the very beginning.

End:

We spend the whole game pursuing one goal - revenge. The idea is not new, but it works. Killing Abby's friends one by one, Ellie does it with particular cruelty. The message of the game is clear, the path of revenge is not the best path, but how else should Ellie have acted? After all, Joel was like a father to her. And it seems that after a threat to the life of Dini and her child appeared, Ellie retreated and decided to live a quiet life. But this did not give her peace. Tommy only hastened her return to the path of revenge. And what do we see? Ellie has come a long way again, killed a bunch of people, and eventually lets Abby go. Although before this she sees a flashback about Joel, which should have only increased the rage, but...

As for me, there should have been a choice in the game: kill Abby or spare her.

I repeat, the game is not bad, very emotional, but I didn’t like it plot-wise.

These are just my thoughts, don’t take them to heart.
