    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can see why people dont like this game, some scenes are pretty brutal, but personally i think its worth it for the fantastic story that is told. the perspective of abby made the ending in particular that much more crazy and brutal. there isnt much new gameplay wise apart from a few new items and traversal method, but its mostly about the story, and that is where the last of us 2 really shines… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, so, people seem to have a problem with processing the idea that any given set of events can have two or more sides to the story, so let's separate the wheat from the chaff here.

    Ellie has a viewpoint. Abby has a viewpoint. YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THIS AND STILL CHOOSE A SIDE. This is *my personal opinion *:

    Yes, **** indeed sucks from Abby's perspective. But guess what? Ellie was honestly too young to be able to make the decision to throw her life away in a permanent choice like this. Joel was right to remove her from this situation because OF COURSE she wants to die in a blaze of glory and save the human race. She is a teenage girl, and how much more romantic a chance can you get?
    But THERE IS A REASON THE AGE OF CONSENT/DRINKING/VOTING IS A BIT HIGHER THAN 14.

    Ellie would have died then and there if the decision was in her hands. But she never would have met Cat, Dina, Jesse, had the years of life in between and beyond the events of TLOU2. I'm willing to bet that, with her current experience, she can look back and agree that she would have made the wrong choice. Joel knew that. He knew she would have chosen to die. He was right to take that choice away from her. She was a child then. She is a woman now. And in the end, Joel knew that he was facing the consequences of his actions in saving Ellie's life. Conversely, Doc Jerry didn't have the right to take that choice away from her, and I'm not sorry he got wasted as a result. Abby can be bitter about it all she wants; her father made the decision to end someone else's life *without asking their opinion first*. So when the tables are turned on him, he should understand that he is facing the consequences of his choice. And someone should have explained that to Abby. No one did, or if they did, they should have realized that *SHE DID NOT HAVE THE EMOTIONAL MATURITY TO DEAL WITH IT*. She clearly needed people around her who could explain this to her in an impartial and fair manner. From what we see of the remaining Fireflies, they shared the despotism and self-righteousness that she had. They felt that they had the right to force their choices on the people around them. Abby got Joel's position forced on her. She had to accept another person murdering someone she loved, without giving him a say in the matter. Joel was not willing to sit back and accept it.
    I'm not saying that Abby should have to go through this either. But she needs to face the fact that her father had done to him what he intended to do to another person-- except that Jerry was willing to murder *a child*.

    My feelings are that Joel did right. Jerry deserves what he gets. Abby and Ellie both need to understand not only the beliefs of the others involved, but also the fact that their actions and intentions devolve onto their children in the most direct way possible. But, for my two cents, in the beginning of the prologue, I threw Abby off a cliff. I should have won the game then and there. I choose Ellie and Joel.

    But in the grand scope of things, there are no fast and easy answers in this situation. AND THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT. Naughty Dog did a beautiful job of making the player understand that every person has different views and choices. And, in the words of the immortal Andrew Ryan, we all make choices. But in the end, our choices make us.    … Expand

    By far, the best game I have played. Game play is spot on, and the story is great. On the surface, you may believe it's a uninspiring revenge plot, but as you play through, you realise the plot is a vessel for an inspiring narrative, taking you through a gamut of emotions. While some are uncomfortable, they are necessary to experience the games unique story and its underlying morals. What a ride.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll try to explain the best I can the reason for my review, and there will be spoilers probably. I finished the game almost a week ago. I waited till now to avoid giving a rate based on what the story was intended to. The gameplay, the only flaw I actually remember was few times where the triangle button for action didn’t show (I could see the circle indicating interaction but the triangle button to do it wouldn’t show and wouldn’t work). But that’s ok, the rest was pretty much flawless. The puzzles, were witty enough to entertainment but not hard enough to make you get bored because you couldn’t get through it, I like them. I did found tiring some times the looting mechanics, repetitive, but that’s me; I know a lot of players that loved it. Music, outstanding as we thought, the music for each scene were so accurate, they would complete the immersive experience by starting in the right moment. Graphics were awesome, I was speechless more than a few times. The accurate description of plants taking over cities, the moss on rainy cities, the tracks on the snow and mud sections were surprisingly good. It was pretty good. Now to the controversy, the story: I don’t really hate the story, I understand the message behind the story. We hate seeing how Ellie does everything Joel never wanted her to do, she throws her life away searching for revenge instead of trying to get comfort on the family she had with Dina and JJ. But that’s ok, that’s the point, to feel it even harder because you’re watching how revenge is ruining a character you have the urge to protect, due to the first game, and everyone around. What messed up the game for me was playing as Abby and here is why:
    •Abby has a game style pretty close to Joel’s. The way she executes sneaky attacks, the need to craft shiv, the ability to press down and x to quickly change the camera point of view etc. •We are forced to guide her to the theater where she kills Jessie, shots Tommy and almost gets Dina killed. •We are forced to fight Ellie in a way that resembles way too much the fight against David on the first (can’t do direct attack, have to hide and avoid make noise, have different stages to defeat her, really even the advice in the screen was similar “use listening mode to get the upper hand” ) •We have to fight Tommy as a sniper with Abby, the same way Joel had to get through a sniper on the first one. •lev and Abby bonding story resembling Joel and Ellie’s. Where Abby finds a reason to redeem herself with lev, the same way Joel finds a way to redeem himself by protecting Ellie. • this one is not that important, but also contributed. Back to the hospital, we see this conversation between the doctor and Marlene, the purpose is for us to understand that they were just making things right... but Ellie was right there, they could’ve ask, but they chose to kill her without remorse. So, while I understand the “one for the many”, I can’t say I understand their choice here. For this reason the rest of the story lost the weight it had. In general the game felt as if the developers were mocking me as a gamer and fan of the first game. They put so many thing that resembled the first game on abbys character knowing that we would hate it, that it felt they were laughing at me. So, my score is due to the poor respect they had for the players. And because to be honest when I finished it, the words that came out of me was: is that it? At that point I want even mad or sad, nothing. Finishing: I won’t discourage people from buying it, I’m honestly just sharing my experience, which can or can’t be like yours. I will recommend tho, that if your going in because of the story, watch some spoilers, because there are lots of disappointed gamers for different reasons. If you’re playing without having played the 1st one or just because of the gameplay, go ahead, you will probably love it. Have fun, Barxco.    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
