    It’s not about the writing and never has been. The Last of Us Part II was perfectly coherent and thematically true to itself. The “controversay” around this game has always been drummed up because of the misogyny of gamer bros.

        Nope, the ending makes perfect sense and is foreshadowed from the beginning. The entire game is themed around the cycle of violence and revenge and how it prevents both sides from actually living, those themes are reinforced throughout the story.

        The issue was Abby was built and gamer bros couldn’t handle it.

          I don’t care about abby and her physical appearance, my issue was purely the santa Barbara section. Had the game ended before that started it would have been fine. By then ellie was fine leaving abby alive as killing abbys friends had not helped her process the death of Joel. They just extended the story for no reason and it made it worse
