    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us 2 is, in my opinion, getting unfair amounts of hate for the story. Some people are really stubborn about hating Abby, but they're missing the point of the game. I'd give the game an 8 out of 10, but they pulled a bait and switch with Jesse and Joel in the trailer. Otherwise, I think this is a great successor to the first game. The game represents LGBT characters in a way that doesn't demonise or stereotype them. It isn't forced down your throat either. Trans people exist. Gay people exist. The game shows that quite well. People who are, understandably, upset about the death of Joel need to understand one thing: Joel was a villain. That doesn't mean he isn't likeable, but he is essentially a serial killer. He massacred an entire building's worth of innocent people to save one person's life, all so he could selfishly have the daughter he lost. That makes him human. Just like how Abby murdered Joel in revenge. That makes them human. Naughty Dog made some interesting choices with the story. I believe that the Abby playthrough should have come first and then have her murder Joel, rather than have her kill Joel, have Ellie go after her in revenge, and have them kill Jesse too. The story is realistic. If I was in Abby's position I 100% would do the exact same thing. A lot of people would. Abby is a likeable character, it's just a shame ND decided to give them such an awful first impression. Graphics: 10/10
    Gameplay: 8/10

    Overall: 7/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game. You have to play this whole entire game to really know how you feel about it. Trust me. When I first played as Abby after she killed Joel I killed her by letting clickers bite her, I jumped off buildings etc. I did not want to play as her. But By the end I didn't want Ellie to drown her. I really didn't know how to feel a lot of the game but I loved what I played. There were several unforgettable moments in this game. this is a must play!… Expand

    È molto molto molto bello.
    Uno dei giochi più belli a cui abbia mai giocato.
    Probabilmente è anche il gioco dell'anno.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра очень понравилась в плане геймплея, графики, физики, музыки и атмосферы. Понравилось то, что они развили мутантов, фракции и группировки, а также главных героев. Но к сожалению, они совсем не превзошли первую часть, . Сюжет был не такой целостной и интересный. Смерть Джоела очень натянутая, политическая повестка ооооочень подпортили впечатления. Как по мне это просто неплохая игра, в которую я играл с удовольствием.… Expand

    Loved it, great story about where hate can lead you, it follows the first game theme by being another story about no being able to get over a loved one death but while the first game was about avoiding to feel that loss ever again no matter the cost, the second one is about the hatred, revenge what it will cost to pursuit it.

    So much waiting time, for a game full of bugs, bad monitoring, serrated graphics (in the bush), swearing in excess (I already expected this, based on the first one) and a ridiculous ending .... I will sell the game urgently, it makes you angry just looking at him on the shelf. Disappointment sets ... in the end, XboxMilGrau was right

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seeing as there are so many negative comments on here bashing this game on so many different levels, I want to give a positive rating and positive feedback as I have played and beaten the game and am now on my second play through. I am an avid gamer, I have not done a critique of any game but I feel this is necessary. The last of us part 2 is a great game, no matter what other people say. You cannot, and I cannot emphasize this enough, CANNOT CRITIQUE A GAME YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED. All of the comments of people who saw spoilers of the games story and immediately said it was the worst thing ever and that Naughtydog has fallen short of what they were thought to be able to achieve should be ashamed of themselves. Everyone was so ready to finally get a conclusive story to The last of us after 7 long years but when it comes down to getting what you think you want, it just doesn’t live up to expectations. This is not my opinion however. I quite enjoyed part 2. I avoided spoiling the game for myself and only ever really saw the cinematic trailer, the one with Lotte Kestner’s cover of True Faith, and that sold me. I had preordered the game prior to this because I fell in love with The last of us since the originals release. I played through the game over the corse of 3 days with my girlfriend watching as I went through the chapters and uncovered the story of what was going to happen to Ellie and Dina and Abby. We were both enticed by the story and it was hard to look away, even when Joel was killed. It was heartbreaking. A beloved character murdered by a woman with her own plot for revenge on what happened to her father. (This also goes along with the people who didn’t play the game not knowing why he was murdered and just wanted to make ND out for being a horrible company that kills off main characters for no reason what so ever. Not the case and you would know that if you’d played the game and got at least 2/3 the way through the game.) Following Ellie through Seattle was a trip. The visuals were stunning, the sound design amazing, the score added to the feel of being in a place that had been taken over by nature for the past 25 years, it was all fantastic. I truly had no downside to this game (aside from being emotionally distraught/angry that Joel was killed in the first hour and a half into the game) until about halfway through the game when the story flips to Abby’s point of view. Now I get why this was, to get more of the story and pan out the run time of the game. I’m not saying it was a bad thing, it just put a nasty knot in my stomach to play as her for 4-6 hours and at the end of it beat up Ellie. It didn’t sit right. But then it donned on me. With the story that was given to me, it made me apathetic towards Abby and made me feel as if she wasn’t such a bad person. Though in a story like this I guess there are no good guys. I will not spoil the ending act though I feel most of the people on here have already seen it on YouTube or elsewhere on the internet. I will leave you with this statement: Do not be a sheep, conjure your own opinions after full completion of a topic. If you do not know, do not open your mouth, you risk sounding like a belligerent moron at the sake of my brain cells killing them selves from reading your horrendous and illegitimate reviews. (And for those who said they falsely advertised the game with Joel looking different in the trailers: Yeah, companies do that. Hell, they did the same thing with the first game but the opposite, they said you wouldn’t be able to play as Ellie but in the 3rd act you start as Ellie. Grow up people. Don’t bandwagon something before you’ve even given it a shot. You’re the reason companies struggle to make content, because you “don’t like how it turned out”. Well boohoo, they didn’t spend 5 years making this game for you to say it was **** If you spent 5 years on anything and the first thing people said about it was that it was bad, you wouldn’t wanna do it again would you? I like Naughtydog and the content they provide if you don’t, don’t say anything and find a different game to play. Good day. )… Expand

    This is fantastic, if you liked the first one, you’ll love the sequel! This game has been bombed with negative reviews, simply for the character being a lesbian... it’s not some stupid f*cking agenda that the developer had, lesbians exist in the world whether you homophobic c*nts like it or not :)

Companion AI is a little stupid at times and can break immersion.

    The key point that made me disappointed with the game was the implementation and writing of the story. It is so sad that despite the game play mechanics (except for AI on enemies etc.), graphics implementation was excellent, but the story completely annihilates the original main characters of the franchise and introduces a new character and is forced to understand the good side of itThe key point that made me disappointed with the game was the implementation and writing of the story.

It may have been a more positive outcome if the sequence of events was re-organized in a way that we get to understand what was the driving force of the antagonist in doing his/her actions rather than just bluntly forcing it on the first portion of the game.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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.
