IGN: "TLOU" Has Huge Potential With or Without Joel Ellie

HBO's "The Last of Us" series is without a doubt an excellent hit. It was announced shortly after it aired that it would be renewed for a second season.

And IGN stated that the series of "The Last Survivor" has undoubtedly confirmed that, with or without Joel and Ellie, "The Last Survivor" has great potential.

Players who have watched the TV series know that the "Last Survivor" series largely adheres to the plot of the original game, but it still makes a lot of adaptations, some of which have a trip to the United States with Joel and Ellie hardly matter.

On TV, HBO took advantage of TV's ability to tell its stories in multiple lines, letting us know the stories of other characters. The first time this happens (and perhaps most notably) is with Bill and Frank's story in the third episode.

IGN believes that after taking the perspective away from Joel and Ellie, the third episode not only provides the best episode of "The Last of Us" in the series, but also sets the early trend throughout the first season, That is to say, don't be afraid to make drastic changes when adapting, and stay away from the original work when necessary. Plus, it proves that Joel and Ellie aren't the only characters audiences will cry over.

In the fourth and fifth episodes, the story also tells about the menacing Catherine, Henglin, Sam and others, who have built quite a lot of worlds. Although we have limited time with the two brothers, "The Last Survivor" is in this way. Get to know them in a short time.

All of these supporting characters - Bill, Frank, Catherine, Henry, Sam, Elaine Miles, Graham Green, etc. justify having more time on the show, and it's not just people, they The inhabited world is also part of the appeal.

For many, The Last of Us is the story of Joel and Ellie, and even though other characters are introduced along the way, it eventually comes back to them. But IGN said that in the future, it can delve more into the story beyond Joel and Ellie.
