1. The End - The Last Of Us Part II
WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
The bonding between Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us felt so utterly real and fervent, thanks to the talents of the performers and scriptwriters. Because we fell in love with these characters, gamers couldn't wait to get their hands on The Last of Us Part II, and watch the pair rekindle their friendship.
However, many players were shocked to learn Joel is barely in the sequel. In fact, you don't play as him at all, save for the prologue.
Sadly, what is to come was far more jaw-dropping. After Joel is confronted by Abby, he is brutally beaten to death with a golf club. After watching this beloved character having his head caved in like a melon, there is only thing on the player's mind - revenge. Killing Abby won't bring Joel back but it will give you closure, knowing his killer got her comeuppance.
But when Ellie confronts Abby in the climax, expectations are subverted once again. As it looks like the pair are about to kill each other, the two ladies go their separate ways.
Although a lot fans enjoyed the ambiguity of this scene, many others were outraged, believing they had lost their chance to avenge Joel forever.
