    the game just messed up its story. violence strikes violence - stupid attempts to please everyone are stupid with stupid ideas. you killed our beloved Heroes, whom we have been waiting for more than 5 years, added some kind of without morons who are trying to show us how real heroes would appear, but we know that this is not so

If you like realistic stories told without pandering to an audience's expectations, whims, and/or desires, this game is perfect.

    The only small complaints I have with this game, which I also have with the first game, is the way the way it tries to force jump scares. Both this game and the first have a "listening" ability, which outlines creatures, and an ability to throw a bottle or brick to make noise. For whatever reason, the listening ability will frequently not show enemies that are actually there in order for the game to "get you" with a jump scare. These scares feel very cheap and, to stress, this is also the biggest flaw of the first game. If you didn't mind it in the first game, you won't mind it now. Just know, if you're not the best with scary games, that may be an issue.

    Besides that small issue, this is the prettiest game I've ever played with some of the best performances and one of the best stories I've ever consumed. Absolutely recommended.    … Expand

    Ellie completely lost her mental health and we see an Ellie with serious problems of post-traumatic stress and attacks of anger.
    Dina and Ellie's relationship is only there as filler for the story but it was really somethin0g unnecessary, I'm not homophobic but forced inclusion in an apocalypse is something "wtf?The only characters that were worth meeting in this installment were Lev and Yara. Nice detail in adding a very strict religious sect, in an apocalypse the church would still be powerful and manipulative. The gameplay is satisfying and makes your heart beat every time you die or survive the attack, nice detail in adding dogs and enemies like the Final boss. On this occasion Gustavo was also magnificent with his soundtrack. Love the game but it is not a masterpiece like the first . Thanks Naughty Dog. Sorry for my bad inglish.    … Expand

    As beautiful a canvas as you could ever want. Still love the gameplay and mechanics. It's just a flawed, headscratching story with flat and poorly developed characters. The characters we knew and loved are abused and worse by Naughty Dog and the fans are slapped in the face repeatedly. The first game was a lot to live up to and, well: "they made a sequel; it wasn't as good."

    Having not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed andHaving not played the first game I’m aware my opinion is a lot more objective to this game than what many fans of the original would have expected this game to be. I’m currently playing through the first Last of Us and having already connected with Elli and Joel’s growing bond, I can absolutely see why this game would at the very least confuse people and also leave people disappointed and annoyed by the fact that you need to play as Abby for the majority of the second half of the game. Firstly, I think the one aspect of the game that many people can agree with is the amazing visuals. The game looks incredible, it’s some serious Red Dead scenery sometimes and it’s able to capture the many set pieces of a dying and overgrown world (but that’s supposed to be the Cheesecake Factory!). The visuals also allow for some of the best and most realistic performances from the mocap actors. Another aspect of the game is the combat. Oh lord, there are moments where of course I’m elated at sweeping a room full of stupid whistling idiots but then when I shoot someone and they start screaming for their life I don’t feel as good. The combat really drains you, I’ve never wanted cut scenes to appear more in my life just so I could take a break. The areas where you need to fight are really wide open and can sometimes be really daunting. It really makes you consider all your options and my god is it tense. BUT! The story. From my point of view having not been previously immersed into this world and with no expectation from previous experiences with the first game I thought the story was pretty good. It’s nothing masterful and there’s some bad pacing issues in the first half of the game, however, overall I think there’s a key message that is effectively communicated as the game goes on. I was engaged by the characters, I was sucked into the chemistry between Elli and Dina and as for Abby, well don’t tell anyone I said this okay, but I think she’s a really well done character and the game really picks up when you play as her. I’ve seen this with Pewdiepie and some other people I’ve either talked to or watched saying that they would have really enjoyed Abby if they played as her first. That makes sense and it would eliminate the disdain people had towards her, but I’m not sure the story is as effective if that’s the case. There’s a spoilercast episode where Neil Druckman (the guy who people seem to forget made Uncharted 1-4 and TLOU1) talks about how when the plot leaked and the big moment of the story was revealed all of a sudden it was seen by the audience with no context. It was interesting to hear him say that all of a sudden instead of it being a decision for the story it was just a decision and people had made their minds up before even playing it. Having said that many people who didn’t see any of the leaks shared the same opinion of being annoyed and disappointed. So overall, I really enjoyed The Last of Us Part 2. I was immersed in the story and it kept me on edge. There’s some great cinematic moments that look amazing with the visuals and I think even though it’s caused such an upset, I think that’s somewhat the point. I don’t think there’d be many games out today that would make the bold choices this game does, and I really respect that. For me it pays off. The game probably lives somewhere in between all the hysteria it’s created. It’s not some pandering LGBT marketing ploy and it’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a game that caused discussion and kept me thinking about it well after playing it. There’s a lot more good than bad and I think it’s really worth playing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest I’m a little conflicted. I would’ve been okay if the game ended at the farm chapter. I think Ellie got her wake up call a little too late. Killing Abby wouldn’t bring back Joel. Also killing Joel wouldn’t bring back any of the fireflies. The game was brutal, it really slapped me in the face numerous times. Both Abby and Ellie lost the light, they were driven by revenge and anger that got the best of them. Ellie’s biggest fear became true. Being all alone, left by the people who she loves the most. The very end when she dropped the guitar was really poetic- I felt like it was her way of saying goodbye to Joel and the revenge path that she had chosen.I hope she gets back at Jackson and stays with the good memories she created with him. I overall enjoyed the game, I liked the flashbacks, the new combat system, the freedom of exploring buildings ,the new upgrading system. The graphics are just amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was kind of conflicted at first on how to feel about this game but rethinking it and letting it sit for a while helped me better understand the game. I will probably never play this game all the way through again but instead revisit some of my favorite parts from the game. I thought the ending with the Joel flashback was very touching and moving and honestly brought me to tears. The gameplay was even better than the first one due to new mechanics and puzzle solving segments that made the game feel fresh and the side missions were a nice add on to the game For an example I loved the music shop scene where Ellie sings take on me I thought that was a very good scene and very moving. This game was meant to be sad, Emotional and moving. I think this game told a good story but however lacked certain things like good pacing, a mediocre timeline with way too many flashbacks and Upon other things. The best moment in the game was when Joel said “I would do it all over again” referring to saving Ellie which was the right thing to do that’s just my perspective however and it’s a big however I didn’t like Ellie ending up alone and the third one not being planned could leave so many possibilities open and could potentially ruin it however I hope not. One of the last things I wanted to touch on was the beautiful soundtrack from Gustavo just like the first one was very badass and definitely help set certain tones for this game. Things that need to be done though are-

    1.drop the Abby storyline for the next sequel
    2.PLEASE let Ellie have a happy ending in the next game and let her move on but still remember Joel
    3.continue the story in Jackson with Ellie returning.
    4.Last and certainty not least continue the story with Ellie and continue her relationship with Dina and allow Tommy and Ellie to bond more in the third one.    … Expand

Pretty sure nobody would prefer some kind of cheap happy ending where Ellie live on her ranch with her girlfriend and her baby like if everything was fine.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok where do I even begin with this brilliant game.

    First of all, the people who put bad reviews are just idiots who probably like spongebob games (and yes someone who wrote a bad review gave a SPONGEBOB GAME AN 8). This game is probably the GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD. I love how they killed Joel quickly, not because I dont like Joel but it just makes the story interesting. And another review I saw said “Before they kill Joel they need to give Abby some backstory so that we understand why” but I love how they didnt, they made it so that you hate Abby at first then realise after the flashbacks Abby has a reason to. And its cool how they killed of so many people so then you get sad a lot which makes sense why? Because its a zombie apocalypse game. I hate to break it to you but in a zombie apocalypse lots of people die. So if your angry by that then you probably like disney endings. The ending is amazing, Ellie letting Abby live, Ellie getting back to the farmhouse and soooo much more. The whole story is amazing and you always want to play more. And it makes you realise, Abby isnt evil shes nice. Sure she killed Joel in a horrible way but when you play as Abby again she says she regrets it! Another thing I love is when Abbys foot is on Tommys head it makes you wait to see what happens. And the Rat King is terrifying but cool, im so happy they added a new infected thats super scary. And shamblers are epic they arent as strong as bloaters but they’re so cool. If you dont like tlou 2 then your a weirdo who thinks everything is PC. I feel bad for Naughty Dog how they got so many bad reviews and I hope the average score goes up and i know it will.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's sad to see that we live in a generation of people so entitled to their own feelings, most people who are rating this game 0 are review bombing for some reason or are just like " this game didn't make me feel like I wanted to feel". What a great generation we live in. I understand that some people don’t like some aspect of the game or the story but to rate this masterpiece a zero is dishonest.
    I don't even need to argue about the graphics animation and gameplay it's one of the best that we’ve ever got period. God of war is the only close contender that I can think of.
    Story wise this game is as honest and real as it can get, it’s not without flaws but it's a bit of really needed fresh air in the superhero era where every story is like " we are the good guys and we need to kill the bad guys". There are no good guys in this story, just humans trying to survive and adapt in a very dark world. Even in the first game after the first tragedy he encounters, Joel becomes this smuggler who used people and killed people who crossed him, but we grew to love him after understanding the kind of world he lives in, after seeing his human side show up again in his relationship with Ellie, and how she changed him. The choice he had to make at the end of the first game was very hard and he choose the most selfish option, which is understandable knowing what he’s been through but still, it's a happy ending for him, not for Ellie who lost the purpose in life that her immunity gave her, not the fireflies, and all of humanity. And that's the whole point of the death of Joel. in a real world you can't have a happy ending at any cost, because the decisions you make are going to come back and hunt you, It’s a real story and just because you love a character doesn’t mean he can condemn all of humanity and go unpunished, and that’s where the brilliance of the second game begins.
    After Joel death, the player is embarked in this emotional journey where in the beginning as Ellie you start to hate the group of people that killed him, I couldn’t wait as a player to kill all of them specially Abby, because I loved Joel and the cruel way in which they killed him, especially after seeing how much he grew to love Ellie, all of the flashbacks, made the grief of losing him as a character even more strong and made you feel the exact same way Ellie felt. Thus all the killing and the obsession about revenge were justified. Until this point the story was very mainstream, an old fashion revenge story and we had a million of those.
    Then we get to Play as Abby, at first I hated it, why would I have to play as the person who killed someone I cared about, but the further I got into her story the more I started to realise that she had as much right to kill Joel as Ellie has the right to kill Abby, she lost her father who was trying to save humanity, and as consequence of Joel decision not to lose Ellie she lost all her world and found herself forced to adapt in a war between two factions and we can see that her and Owen regret what they’ve become for the sake of survival, after that the story puts her in a journey to atone for her sins and regain her humanity, and that’s what Lev and Yara represents to her and why she puts so much importance into saving them , because they are the ones who saved her life when she was dying and they are the ones who are going to save her humanity when she almost lost it. This is where Me as a player stood corrected and felt guilt for hating her without knowing her story . why people hated her part is beyond Me, it’s what made the story special and what made the experience of the game different than any other game I’ve played. That’s the beauty of it it’s supposed to show you how right and wrong are relative to everyone perspective, and not just by telling you so but making you experience the emotions the characters went through.
    Then comes the epilogue in Santa Barbara, this part of the game felt a little bit rushed, it’s understandable because the game was already getting long, maybe they could’ve cut some of the Seattle part to invest more in this. Abby’s and lev’s abduction by the Rattlers added nothing to their story, apart from giving Ellie a reason to feel sorry for them and add a little weight to the decision of letting Abby live which I think they did a poor job at explaining. I understand that she remembered the night she forgave Joel and she understood that’s she’s capable of showing mercy and that’s why she forgave her the same way she forgave Joel but I would’ve loved for Ellie to know Abby’s side of the story, or involve Lev in the decision of mercy but maybe they are letting this for Part 3.
    I salute ND for having the guts to do the right thing, stayed true to the spirit of the world they created, people who don’t like this TLOU2 missed the point of the first game. It was not about two heroes it was about survival in a dark world    … Expand

To balance out at least one reviewer who gave the game a 0 out of 10.
    My real rating would be between 6 and 7, I think. This game in no way is a perfect 10, not even close. But it is still closer to a 10 than a zero, and zero is a ridiculous rating. Those who give it a zero have never played a truly horrible game. I respect that many people felt betrayed because of what happens at the beginning of the game, but I also feel like people have to try and be fair in their rating, not just rating the game at zero because of that one thing that made them see red (even though I admit that that part was a big deal, and something I think they should not have done).
    I played the first game on PS3 and loved. One of my all time favorite games. I would rate that game between 9 and 10.
    The weakest link for me in The Last of Us 2 is the story. I would call it "Meh...", and did certain parts piss me off? Yes. There is one part that pisses me off, which is also the event that sets up the entire rest of the story in the game. And I believe this part is one of the biggest reason for people rating the game at zero.
    But beyond that part, the story to me is just... Fine. It's not great, it's not horrible, it's just fine.
    I also feel like there are two endings to the game (those who have played it know what I mean), and I feel like the game should have ended at the first ending. Everything after that seems like a waste of time which really doesn't add anything to the story and doesn't give the player any better closure.
    I had a lot of fun playing the game itself, even though some things became a bit repetitive after playing the game for a few hours.
    The game is also very good looking, beautiful I would even say.
    In conclusion:
    The game for me is between 6 and 7 out of 10. I hated the part that set up the rest of the story, but I am still trying to evaluate the game not only from that one part, but the game as a whole. That may seem hard since the whole game is based on that one big moment in the game, what I call "The Game of Thrones syndrome", where any character can die at any moment. After GOT it seemed to be in style to copy that, shocking people by sweeping the rug from under their feet. This is the biggest fail Naughty Dog did, I think. Was it shocking? Yes. But I still feel like it was nowhere near worth it. I rather would have liked to see them make a great continuation to the first game. I know that if they would have done that, then the user rating would be close to a 9 out of 10.    … Expand

This is the perfect example of how a very scripted game can still give a player a lot of freedom, there are countless ways to beat the same areas, and the game really challenges you to think creatively and make your way though the game as efficiently as possible by giving you very limited resources. I usually hate it when a game limits a player to make place for its story, but it's handled so well here that it really doesn't remove any of the flow in the gameplay. Also, this story is absolutely amazing, it really puts the story of the first game in a whole different perspective, it's incredible how it can make you rethink everything you've done through the game.

I personally couldn’t care less about any new character introduced. It just didn’t land well for me. The parts where you play as Ellie? 10/10. But then there’s this overlong “please love this character” section that just wasn’t good. From Owen, to Mel, to Lev, to Manny. There was this sad desperation in the writing to try to make the player want to sympathize with Abby, they even tried to copy the giraffe scene from the first. Not once...but twice! First with a zebra, Abby and her father have a moment, then with a seal, Abby and Owen have a moment. It’s more arrogance than ambitious for a writer to think they can force or experiment with a players emotions to try to get sympathy for Abbys actions. They even try to make you care about killing Alice. It was a decision that fell flat with me, when all of abbys friends died, I was more indifferent than sad. The character of Ishmael in the original, mind you he’s never physically in the game, I cared about more than anyone associated with Abby.… Expand

    It is, however, a very obviously divisive game. There are many who do not appreciate the story being told by Naughty Dog, who would instead prefer a story that is so frequently told by many. Instead, we get something different. A compelling, heart-wrenching story with brilliant character design.

    However, the game does have issues with pacing. It is perhaps clear that many complaints voiced could have been resolved if simple changes to the story’s structure were made. Make the flashbacks the start of the game. Introduce Abby and her backstory first, leading up to *that* event. Give the player to experience Ellie and Joel. Then, and only then, do we go further. If such changes were made, many of the “plot hole” concerns or issues with the flow could be resolved.

    This is, ultimately, Naughty Dog’s game. Their vision. Their story. It is not ours to dictate. Just because we do not like the way it went, does not make a game bad. It does have issues, but it is, overall, a truly exceptional game.

    The storyline to me fails to deliver in a similar way to the previous game, for a story driven game this is quite problematic. Characters were not really fleshed out, and returning characters felt different to the point that I believe if they had just made this game with a whole new cast of characters it would make more sense. Even saying that particular character choices and storylines just didn't feel like they were made to a good standard. The pacing additionally felt strange with story points from the start of the game are only being concluded much later at which point I had lost interest in following, as the lack of focus made it seem like they were irrelevant.

    This game is exactly the way a videogame for adults should look like because ...

    We all know the graphics and performance are unreached and show how much work and passion Naughty Dog has put into this.

    About the story ... I don't get it guys. I don't undetstand how any of you could hate this story. Its authentic, its intense and emotional and here is why ...

    Some people say Ellie changed in a way many fans didn't like. Okay .... how would you turn out dealing with all this **** ? Growing up in a QZ ruled by violence and corruption ? Losing your first love ? Be overwhelmed with this situation about her immunity ? Seeing people getting killed daily and finally watching the only person dying who ever has been a Dad for her ? How could Ellie still be that girl who's joking and laughing ?

    Same with Abby ... when I saw her killing Joel, I was shocked like every single person. But I knew there has to be more. Something must've happened years ago ... I gave her that chance, like everybody should do even in real life. You dont know what that person have been through, who she lost. In the end there was no difference between these two women. They were broken, they were hurt so badly ...

    And how the writers of this journey told this story was unlike anything else.
    As more I played with Abby, the more I liked her, because she cared, she loved, she even showed mercy to the girl who killed all of her friends ... With Abby they made a great character who I'd love to see in another game someday ...

    So I'd like to thank everyone involved in making this game. Thanks to Neil Druckmann, thanks to the actors, especially Ashley Johnson, who did another outstanding job with Ellie. Thanks to everyone who gave this game a chance and enjoyed it as much as I did. This is a 10/10 wether you like it or not ....    … Expand

    The gameplay has improved massively, I like the fact alot of the areas are seemingly unpolluted as it makes you more cautious than being constantly bombarded with enemies.
    Story's so far is good too.

    Your ability to like this game will hinge on your ability to empathize with the character Abby. The game is asking a lot of you, to set aside your anger and frustration, and try to forgive. And if you can't do that, then you will not have a good time. Which, brilliantly, is exactly what both Ellie and Abby go through in the game.

    This feels like a leap forward in storytelling. And not just video game stories, I mean storytelling as a tradition. It's something that's never been done before. It was a huge risk for Naughty Dog to take, and for those who can appreciate it, it's a true masterpiece.

    It explores so many themes; the cycle of violence, empathy, inherited pain, while also drawing parallels between the different characters and storylines. But what takes it over the top, is that it brings in the player, forcing you to grapple with the same emotions that the characters are feeling.
    It's an experience that I'll likely never forget, and fans will be talking about for years and years to come.    … Expand

    There are a few things about this game that are just facts...

    The game looks absolutely gorgeous, one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Gameplay, even though it's not too different from the first one, it feels a lot more fluid and fun. The new kinds of enemies (both infected and non-infected) force you to keep moving and thinking about the best attack tactics at the same time. The infected feel and look even more terrifying than in the first one and the introduction of the new kinds was wonderfully done.

    Now, the thing that has been dividing the fandom is obviously the story alone. If I'm gonna be honest, when comparing this game to the original, I can't say it's better, because it isn't. The first one being one of the best story driven games I've ever played and this one being a great game but not the best ever. However, it isn't nowhere near as bad as some people like to say it is. The writers made some very bold decisions as to where the story goes and many didn't like that. My advice: try to keep an open mind during the entire game. This is, from the very beginning to the very end. Here's an important warning: the story may and probably will not go the way you want it to. No, the story is not badly written but it is bold. Expect to be shocked and even angry with characters' decisions and actions. That's the objective the writers of the game had when making it so you're expected to feel that way.

    Now to address another thing people can't shut up about. Are the characters unlikable? No, but I'd say they're not as memorable as the ones we met in the first game. Some characters you will not like until the end of the game and that's fine. The game doesn't want you to like them. It wants you to understand them and as long as you can do that, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    This game is psychologically challenging and constantly tries to make you think about the consequences of revenge, the paths to redemption, the definition of right and wrong and your ability to say when enough is enough.

    It's not a perfect game, but this is as much as I'm able to say while keeping it spoiler free.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is not as good as the one from the first game but it is well told. The engine of Ellie's adventure is Joel being killed and that works; but the way we arrive to Joel being killed by Abby is not so convincing. And the engine of Abby's tale is his father being killed by Joel. And that works till' the two paths encounter each other. Then a lot of sense is lost. Graphics are so good and playability tops the first game. Plus you can play it again and is almost guaranteed it is not going to be the same experience. So it is an excellent game with a not so good (but also not bad at all) story.… Expand

    People are hating the game just because they don't like the story.
    The story could have been different, but it doesn't justify all the hatred. It was money well spent.

    Me encanto el juego en si, gameplay, historia, desarrollo de personajes por así decir. Obvio tiene sus fallas pero son nulas, quizás si se hubiese organizado de diferente forma las cosas que pasaban quizás hacia que funcione mejor todo, pero la verdad es un juego que si vale la pena jugar, pasas por muchas cosas el juego te hace sentir de todo un poco. Buen guion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After years of waiting its finally here The Last Of Us 2 and my experience was pretty great actually. killing joel was a bold move to make. No questions how much we loved joel in the first part but great things eventually comes to an end this is not a superhero story and joel is not immortal this is a post-apocalyptic world which is cruel and survival is the only key. He was gonna die we saw that coming but the regret is we didnt get enough play time with joel's character to play as our favourite character for the last time. i didnt mind playing abby after she killed joel because it was a different experince and i was able to see the other side of the coin as abby's perspective after experiencing how her fathers death affected her and how this obsession of killing joel made an impact on her love life and she ended up being a brutal killer i understand her pain KINDA but i still hate her for killing joel so brutally this is all about a humans nature on an apocalyptic world. Now here are the thing i just didnt fully enjoy the third act that just happened out of nowhere but any how now we are playing as elllie so its not too bad also so now after seeing abby in such a harsh way i personally thought that ellie has taken enough from her and she suffered alot and killing her wasnt looking so ideal.
    All in all this was supposed to be a dark story and it is a really dark story it shows how vengeance can take everything from you and can effect people around you.
    But as a fan of joel i would have given this game a nine if NAUGHTY DOG had have given me an option to kill abby or leave her free.(then i would have her RIP JOEL)
    And i could have given it a ten if they had trim down some part of abby( I felt that ellie is being over shadowed by abby and this suppose to be ellie based story) and the third act didnt happened this way( It kinda feels weird and seemed happened out of nowhere)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is clearly Naughty Dog's best game. It has astounding environmental design, sound, graphics, and also gameplay. Considering the story, I cannot imagine a better ending and story than this, if we accept the early death of Joel. the storytelling made me realize feel each and every death that I did during the game. The way it made me feel that both Abby and Ellie are doing the same thing and losing everyone they love was so sad yet real and breathtaking. There is no game in the entire history in which you will fight that antagonist and change that character to the protagonist at the same time. I truly believe that Ellie didn't deserve this ending because she lost everything. But the thing that matters is that she chose to do this and that was the right thing to do. In conclusion, the story is top-notch yet sad and painful. But I really enjoyed it because it gave me something new that I had never experienced. Moreover, the whole story had consistency regardless of the pace. So, I can understand why everyone is hating this game, but everything inside it is authentic. Thank you Naughty Dog for this amazing Sequel.

    P.S: Many people are complaining about the repetitive gameplay that has not been enhanced from the first game. I completely disagree as I believe the main idea of the gameplay is the same but it generates an entirely new experience if you fully explore the world. For example, during the encounters when you are fighting WLF or Seraphites, There are at least 10 or 20 strategies to go through the level
    and you will be bored if you face the game with the strategies from the first game. There are lots of strategies and combat sequences that are unique and you have probably missed it because of your approach. For example, one of the best combat sequences was when you were under the trucks and headshot the enemies and they find you and there is a great animation in that combat. There are lots of these in the game, which will make the game a unique experience for every player.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is perfect, people who thinks the game sucks are trash. I played it on Hard for the first time without aim lock and it is not hard at all if you actually use your kit and surroundings the right way.

    And story wise OMG sooo goood like what is people talking about? I HATED ABBY so much. I was mad that I had to play with her (like everyone else Im sure) but the more you play her, you get to love her. She went through so much worse than Ellie. Like dude: Joel kills her dad (who actually asked for it when he said “Im not gonna let you take her”), Abby gets revenge and kills Joel and lets Ellie live. Ellie doesn’t even know the real reason at this point and goes and kill everybody on Abbys friends list. She killed Owen! I don’t understand how that is not enough.

    I love Ellie and Joel, everything bad they did was for love but they are definitely the villains if you actually see it from Abbys perspective. Also keep in mind Joel killed Marlene, which I don’t think Ellie knows yet.

    People are mad because Ellie didn’t kill Abby at the end. Hello! Did you forget Abby spared Ellie twice? Now they are kinda even.

    I hope Ellie and Abby become friends in the end!    … Expand

    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]
