Basically the gameplay is good but not that great. Not much change to part 1. Although the environment change, it is actually repetitive. Also, I think 50%-70% of the time I spend on scavenging which is quite boring and tiring. We can predict encounters and how they react. Maybe because I played moderate level. I don't know.
Story is good if we cut off Ellie Dina "love story". I don't like this LGBT political movement. This is why I gave 2 stars instead of 3 or 4. Producer should avoid this kind of story. Yes I am bias not to support. But please respect gamers who see this as disgusting and not human nature. Just avoid this next time. We had enough of this movement every where and it will backfire itself if it is too much.
I firstly hate Abby but after playing her side, my opinion changed. She done what she should do. Beside, I think she is mature and professional than Ellie. Every one will take revenge if their parent where killed. That's natural. But the way Joel and Tommy react to stranger by revealing their identity are not their nature especially when they meet a group of young armed people.
I hope part 3 will be more generation building episode. Part 2 is full of sad story, confusion and revenge. Ellie and Abby should work together building a better community. I like to have Ellie to be a leader instead of going alone. But please don't kill this characters. They are fighting to overcome the disease and restore the world. And how about going outside US such as Mexico or Southern American country.
