    Everything was good at this game I like it so much but I don’t like the end of this game.

    Story was absolutely ruined by the addition of abby. She single handedly ruined the game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only good thing about this game is the environmental design, graphics, and gameplay. I enjoyed running around collecting things, finding letters from people that gave the world a bit more life and tragedy to it, cracking the codes for safes, the rope puzzles, the up-close and in your face combat when you would melee or dodge someone. For all of that alone it earns a 2 from me.

    The storytelling on the other hand... it's awful. Absolute garbage compared to the first game. After Joel was killed I was eager to get revenge, so when the confrontation between Abby and Ellie came I was ready for some fight scene to break out with our girl coming out the winner... instead you're forced to spend several long hours playing as Abby. Why? I asked myself that a lot. I hate her character, I hate the way she looks, I hate what she did to Joel, so why is that game putting all of these obstacles in my way in a weak and sh*t attempt to try and make her seem like a good person, and make the player feel bad for her?

    By the time I finally caught up with where I left off as Ellie, you watch and play from Abby's point of view as she kills Jesse and puts a bullet in Tommy's head, and then stalks Ellie around the theatre. Ellie is equipped to her teeth with weapons and Abby is unarmed but somehow YOU'RE FORCED TO BEAT THE SH*T OUT OF ELLIE and nearly kill Dina, and right as this hulking monstrosity of a character is about to kill them, they are saved by the transgender kid that Abby befriended somewhere along the line.

    Fast forward a few months and Ellie, Dina, and their child JJ live on a farmhouse somewhere. We're forced to play through a slice of life that honestly feels extremely out of place, and watch cringe interactions between them. Then we're shown Ellie has PTSD from Joel's death and the **** that went down in Seattle. Tommy comes over (who apparently isn't dead) and talks to Ellie about chasing down Abby... AGAIN. Ellie leaves in the middle of the night.

    The ending is sh*t, this game is sh*t I wish it was never made, the story feels like it was written by an angsty twelve-year-old, and after I was forced to play as Abby repeatedly I lost all my motivation and interest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story and the Writing in games is what matters to me the most.
    (Sorry for any spelling errors or confusion, im from Denmark)
    I have played through the whole game

    Abby tortured and executed joel for pleasure, and never felt sorry. How can you side with a character like that?

    How to fix it:

    Let joel be a bigger part of the start of the game.

    Let joel be held at gun point in to the room.

    Dont torture joel, just shot him in the leg and let him have a final word to elle, before he get shot in the head.

    In abbys story find a way to make abby show she have
    sympathy for elle some how (Elle did kill all her friends, so i dont know how)

    Elles last flashback when trying to kill Abby :
    Elle: "If you ever got killed i will still go on a killing spree, to kill the people responsible"
    Joel: "I dont want you to do that, i dont deserve that, after how i lied to you and killed the fireflies" or something like that.

    Gameplay 7/10
    Graphics 10/10
    Story 7/10
    Writing 3/10
    Final score: 5/10

    i admit it has good graphics, but the history is a trash, because it's too much political, and the gameplay is outdated.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok since all these user reviews are biased so will mine. Yes, I know this story feels like a lame plot to excuse the point of a sequel but im taking into the cinsideration the amount of detail and effort into this game for a 9. The graphics, are amazing, and it runs so well on the base ps4. Im a pc gamer and WISH we had optimization like what they do. Now for my favorite part of the game, is the gameplay. It is one of the best controlled third person games I have ever played, there is no delay in movement like in gta 5 and the gameplay is so damn smooth, the mechanics and movement animations are flawless and fall right into place right after each other. I usually would never say this about a naughty dog but omg I come back to this game JUST for the gameplay. Its amazing and looks amazing. Expand

    La historia es una basura con sin sentido en relación a cosas del 1, y una resolución más que pesima y sin sentido. La jugabilidad no innova nada y sólo destacaría los gráficos que dan igual, dejen de vender películas y tan malas

    so so sooooo dissapointed with this game. i dont know why did they expect when they killed joel, made us play as abby who we are supposed to hate because she did nothing good for our beloved characters, ellie lost everything she had in the end. what was that game about? abby? hell no. company were pushing agenda of women too hard. Was that everything really needed? i dont think so. 2/10.so so sooooo dissapointed with this game. i dont know why did they expect when they killed joel, made us play as abby who we are supposed to hate because she did nothing good for our beloved characters, ellie lost everything she had in the end. what was that game about? abby? hell no. company were pushing agenda of women too hard.

    Visual, graphic and gameplay is a masterpiece that surpasses the first. But where the big mistake is the script, everyone expected Joel's death to be epic and being a hero to the end but instead he dies for a damn golf club, then they try to empathize with his murderer but they don't succeed, since the player only wants revenge and in the end they don't even let us do it.

    It was crap, cliche and forced, poorly worked, predictable script, very different from the first game. Anyone who thinks this note was for lgbt history, did not understand anything.

    This game is so trash. The story is idiotic and I can’t even grasp that this was made by the same people who made tlou1. This is a bruise to the first game. Joel is horribly out of character. Disgusting.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
