Everything ranging from the newly fleshed acessibility gameplay mechanics all the way to the superb writing by Neil Druckmann and Westworld’s Halley Gross is pure excellence. The first game is all about love, and the sequel is all about hate and you can see why how rare TLOU2 is compared to the first game and it’s unbelievable. Do I need to say more? Play the damn game and fully experience a masterfully crafted sequel that will keep you on the edge of your seat and witness the sheer brutality that needs to be played. Do I need to say more? Play All it takes is a little push for Ellie to go mad and her quest for revenge story is a brutalistic masterpiece. … ExpandĪll it takes is a little push for Ellie to go mad and her quest for revenge story is a brutalistic masterpiece. That’s why in the final scene inside of Ellie all along it’s the regret to not apologise Joel thy gives her the reason to her torment. It isn’t an enjoyable game like the first one, but that’s what drives the narrative and expressive intent by the creators. That’s exactly what the developers want you to feel, that annoyance. The entire fight to Seattle and then Santa Barbara is so tiring and pointless to play because there is no meaning at all to have such a fight. It’s a brilliant tragedy of an acceptance of a harsh reality.
It’s an acceptance of living a life with satisfaction and around the people who care about you. Thus realising that life doesn’t have to have any meaning and people die meaningless or pointless deaths. Her nightmares forcing her to kill Abby and then in the final climax she realising killing Abby won’t do anything, but rather her inability to forgive Joel for saving her and always trying to help her is why she is always tormented by Joel’s death. Hence when Joel dies such a stupid and pointless death, Ellie fights for revenge for some catharsis. Hence when Joel stripped her ability to save humanity in the first game, Ellie lost her relationship with Joel because of that. Joel died in such a stupid way because it is a parallel to Ellie’s need to die in a meaningful way as it would allow her life to have meaning. Therefore, they strip every character that Ellie cares about and allow their deaths to be so pointless that her fight for revenge becomes pointless in itself. The developers don’t want you to have fun.
This game is not like the first one, rather it pushes the boundaries of games becoming art. I know many people may argue against me but if found this meaning in the game.
The game takes a character you love so much and destroy it, illustrating the flaws everyone has. But the reason why I give it a ten is how effective the game is to display the tragedy of Ellie. It was heart aching and shoved the idea that revenge is bad. It completely burned the original, but i find it beautiful in a way. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
