Finale's Character Choices and Pacing
The finale of the first season of The Last of Us showcases significant character choices, particularly regarding Joel's arc. While the show presents these choices effectively, some viewers feel the pacing, especially in the finale, hindered the emotional weight of the climax. Comparatively, the video game offers a different experience, intertwining gameplay with moral complexities that challenge the player. This separation between the game's intricate buildup and the show's more streamlined narrative leaves viewers wanting a deeper immersion into the character dynamics and world-building.
