With The Last of Us Part 2 story being so divisive surrounding some narrative issues, could there have been an alternate story? Could The Last of Us 2 have a completely different story?

In this The Last of Us Part 2 story analysis, we'll review and discuss a different story and a different ending I came up with after completing this game. My alternative story and alternate ending supports Abby, Ellie, and Joel’s character development early on, as well as tries to solve issues surrounding the order of the story - hopefully allowing the story to feel a little more natural. It's important to note, game leaks did not affect my critique of this game, I avoided them completely, going into this game blind.

We also review the official The Last of Us Part 2 story as we breakdown and analyse why the order of the story let it down for many people. We touch on character breaking choices and reactions, contrived story points, and unnatural character development. If Abby, Ellie, and Joel were given equal backstory time, it could have helped this story flow better for a lot of people by the ending of the game.

Regardless, I am excited to see where they go if they decide to do a The Last of Us Part 3.

NOTE: It should go without saying that any toxic hatred or fandom towards this game, or the people involved in it, or any person in general, prevents valuable and great discussion. If you are contributing to the toxicity surrounding The Last Of Us Part 2, you are pathetic.
