*SPOILER AHEAD *

Five after the event of the first game The Last of Us, Joel and Ellie are living in Tommy’s settlement in Jackson. During the time, Ellie has made some friends with Dina and Jesse. And entered in a relationship after the couple broke up. In the winter when Joel and Tommy go missing while observing the movement of nearby infected, Ellie and Dina go to investigate. Tommy, frustrated that Jackson does not have the resources to fight the WLF, pursues them to their base in Seattle on his own.

With authorization from Tommy’s wife Maria. Ellie and Dina go after Tommy, who has already killed several WLF members. While avoiding WLF patrols in Seattle, the pair are attacked by a large group of Infected and, upon escaping, Ellie reveals her immunity to Dina, who in turn reveals she is pregnant.

The next day, with Dina physically weakened by her pregnancy, Ellie pursues Tommy alone and encounters Jesse, who had followed them to Seattle, but has been wounded, leaving Ellie to continue her journey alone.

While searching for a member of Abby’s group named Nora, she encounters the Seraphites, a group of religious fanatics who are battling the WLF over control of Seattle. Eventually, Ellie tracks down Nora and beats her for information on Abby’s location. As Nora succumbs to her injuries, Ellie learns she is a former Firefly, causing her to recall how, two years ago, she investigated the hospital Joel rescued her from and learned he lied about the Fireflies being unable to find a cure.

Back in the present, Abby shoots Tommy and brawls Ellie and Dina, overpowering them, though she spares them upon learning the latter is pregnant and warns them to leave Seattle.

Several months later, Ellie and Dina are living on their own farm, taking care of the latter’s child, though Ellie still suffers posttraumatic stress disorder from Joel’s death. When Tommy arrives with information on Abby’s whereabouts in Santa Barbara, Ellie, unable to leave her past behind, leaves to confront her. Meanwhile, Abby and Lev arrive in Santa Barbara searching for the Fireflies and manage to contact them.

The pair are instructed to head to Catalina Island, before being captured by the Rattlers, a gang of bandits. When Ellie arrives, she kills the Rattlers and rescues the pair, before fighting Abby, but can’t bring herself to kill her, so she allows her and Lev to leave. Returning to the farm, Ellie finds it empty, as Dina left with her baby. Recalling a recent memory where she promised to try to forgive Joel, Ellie leaves Joel’s guitar at the farmhouse and heads off to an uncertain future.

On 27 april Sony announced that Last of Us Part 2 will be released on 19 June, but earlier the same day, several videos, cutscenes, gameplay and plot details were leaked.

However Sony later found out the hacker, who was not affiliated to Sony and Naughty dog. But after the leak of the plot and gameplay fans lose all interest in the game.

All the plot of the game was leaked. Player took various social handles to show their anger for Sony and Naughty Dog. Fans were very unhappy from the security system of the Sony and criticised a lot. And the effect of the leaks is clearly visible. Many players show their disappointment and disliked the game. That’s the reason that Last of Us Part 2 have received 2 stars from google users.

These review websites ignored the leaks and then checked the game and really loved it. The graphics, story effects in the game shows the hard work of the developers but it can’t be ignored that leaks affected the reputation and sales of the game to a great extent.

Few players must be confused that if the game is good then why it has only 2 ratings on google. The reason for this is that people give reviews on Google not experts.

But in review websites the game is played and reviewed by experts who give unbiased reviews.
