    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good overall the part that pisses me off the most is the ending and how sad, depressive and non-sense it is. Ellie forgiving Abby doesn’t make sense because of Abby she lost her dad figured, Dina and JJ basically her life just to get revenge but then all of a sudden she just spares her? She killed every friend of Abby and hundreds of people but all off a sudden ReVeNge Bad??? Yeah that ruined the whole game from me. And the other thing that is bad is how they treated Joel he deserved way better. But the overall story is not that bad, gameplay and graphics are a 10/10 Expand

    By no means can the media or high-score reviews plead for the innocence of Neil Duckman for his guilt in totally crashing down all the precious memory and love they built in the previous game. Love and desire are the healthy and happy driving force that keeps you going, hatred which is the theme of the part 2 is not something that educative, but something morbidly depressing and torturous.By no means can the media or high-score reviews plead for the innocence of Neil Duckman for his guilt in totally crashing down all the precious memory and love they built in the previous game. Love and desire are the healthy and happy driving force that keeps you going, hatred which is the theme of the part 2 is not something that educative, but something morbidly depressing and torturous. Feeling pain to treasure life isn't a method common to normal people, only the monks trying to get atonement by walking through difficult journeys. How much of us are tough enough to be like that? We are already living in a world full of pressure. It's a better way to wake our conscience with touching plot rather than forcing players to walk through fire and forget their pain, and even to beautify or praise pain, just for that you can be as numb as a sadistic killer when it gets too strong Expand

I have already finished the game and in the end everything that was said about it was true, this game is a masterpiece and yes, there will be people who will like it and there will be many more who will not. And I think that the message he leaves you is excellent and those who will not come understand and empathize have a serious problem, people no longer put themselves in each other's shoes and that is why in the world everything that happens because there is nobody May you dare and be so brave and capable of understanding that at some point violence transforms you and once you carry it out, it changes nothing. And as Yara says well, the children will bear the sins of the father but Ellie forgiving Abby was a way of forgiving Joel since she did not have the time and a few hours after telling her that she was dead and had no chance of being forgiven. Thanks ND and Big Thanks Neil Druckman, this is a worthy sequel. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Solo se salva por jugabilidad y apartado técnico, la historia es de mala calidad, se esforzaron mas en que te pongas en el lugar de abby que en la historia en si, las mejores partes son el principio, con su "tutorial" que es introductorio a los controles e historia y el volver a ver a tus personajes favoritos y como se llevan, hasta la presentación de abby esta bien pero en el propio " tutorial" se cargan a joel y el final depende de gustos, pero en parte es bueno y en parte no, admiras ND mintio con la duración del juego, ya que se puede acabar antes disfrutando y sin perderte nada de la historia, otro punto muy negativo es la publicidad, todo el rato te lo vendieron con que estarian solo joel y ellie ( joel muera en las primeras 2-3 depende del tiempo que emplees en recursos) y lo hacen de una forma muy rara, ya que como vimos en la primera entrega joel es muy desconfiado, y mas por lo que paso en el pasado, y ese recurso que usan como flashbacks es en ocasiones tedioso, porque si lo matas para que te esfuerzas en meter eso a la fuerza, como consejo para los que se piensen comprar este juego os digo una cosa, si eres muy fan del primero, este no existe para ti, si eres fan o jugador casual compralo pero tampoco te esperes una notaza porque para ti como mucho sera un 6-7

    I apologize for the mistakes, English is not my native language.

    It is a pity that the game was scattered on memes, without really knowing what it was. And those who really went through and scolded the plot said that it was objectively weak and basically referred to the fact that this is not the same buddy movie as the first part, with a good but simple story from the "for all"
    I apologize for the mistakes, English is not my native language.

    It is a pity that the game was scattered on memes, without really knowing what it was. And those who really went through and scolded the plot said that it was objectively weak and basically referred to the fact that this is not the same buddy movie as the first part, with a good but simple story from the "for all" category. In fact, they criticize that things are being done in the game with which they * disagree *, that is, the story is "bad" biased. The second part is much more complicated and therefore more individual. (I will not speak more specifically, so as not to spoil the impression). This year’s most controversial game for me. The most complicated and difficult story in every sense. This is my personal opinion, and I perfectly understand why you can hate it, what to complain about and what to competently criticize, but I loved the game, despite the fact that I also disagree with all the scriptwriter's decisions. In general, these are my personal feelings, Tlou is too individual, so with ease you can find those who do not like the game or even seem boring. So play the games yourself, think with your own head) and good luck not to stumble on spoilers for those who have not passed it yet)

    the fact they've disallowed people from posting negative reviews is quite honestly a disgrace, and shows how corrupt the gaming indsutry is. As a fan, i should be entitled to review the game however I please, it's my opinion and you have no right to limit me from it.
    The first last of us was always going to be a tough act to follow, but for me the last of us 2 really misses the mark. The story is an absolute mess, it is so jumbled up and out of place it barely makes sense. The way it chose to handle certain story decisions is baffling, the “revenge is bad” plot is generic at best. It lacks some serious execution at times. A lot of the game feels like a walking heavy breathing simulator with the odd zombie encounter and some boring puzzles. for a 20+ hour game there is a real lack of substance for nearly the entire first half, and most of the characters have no depth or development whatsoever, and are often discarded or killed with no further mention or care form the other characters. It is clear from this game how much the writing department is lacking after losing Amy Hennig, who probably deserves more credit for the first game than she received. All in all this feels like a real kick in the teeth to last of us fans who have waited and been excited for this game for 7 years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a deeper meaning than just revenge. It’s the people that get hurt during the process of trying to get revenge and not being able to let something go eventually leads to losing the people you love. It shows how revenge can ruin everything you ever loved. I ultimately ended up not disliking Abby as much as I thought I would, I actually don’t dislike her at all. This game portrays everything they meant to perfectly. I understand that people did not like that Joel died but I cannot deny the fact that it is a great game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 is one of the best games I’ve ever played.

    While in TLOU you get to see how Joel saved Ellie by killing a surgeon and stopped humanity’s only chance at finding a cure, in the TLOU 2, you get to know who the surgeon was, who his daughter Abby was and who his close and loved ones were – but only after you watch them kill off Joel

    The character building in this game is strong and nuanced

    You get to see Marlene and this surgeon at odds with themselves about carrying out the surgery, knowing it would cost Ellie her life, given how he’s a father himself - Abby says she would’ve given her life had it been her - and finally how Abby had her father taken away from her at the hands of Joel

    While Joel’s death at the start is jarring, it gets the player riled up enough to want to go after Abby

    Its only after this that you get to know Abby better as a person, her dad and her whole crew better and have a moment of, “Holy **** if someone did that to my dad, I wouldn’t care, I’d want to kill them too”

    Neither Ellie or Abby are objectively bad people, but an ‘eye for an eye’ world causes them both to kill off each other’s loved ones off till they’re the last people standing – while going after each other, Abby and Ellie simultaneously get to know each other and where they’re both coming from respectively The gameplay is realistic, brutal and visceral - stealth is on point, and the gunplay and melee combat is waaay better than TLOU - you have to time your dodges and hits right, and its very engaging - the seamless transitions from cinematic to gameplay are amazing

    Yeah there are lesbian characters, POCs and a sex scene in the game, but that’s just part of storytelling, the same as it would be on a Netflix show

    Like in the real world, people take digs at each other and talk and act believably This game is riddled with moments of characters making ‘bad’ decisions under pressure and a fit of rage, which is also realistic - have you never been on the spot and made a bad move because your anger couldn’t let you think straight?

    The message this game sends in a time when the world is so riddled with chaos and a thirst for vengeance is a message that resonated with me You could avenge someone, but it would never end there - someone who cared for them will always come around to get back at you - its a cycle that’ll never break unless someone decides to be the better person and ultimately forgive the other

    I’m with the critics on this one, its a 10/10 for me

Yes they kill of Joel in a HORRIBLE way and they obviously never cared about him in the first place, but the actual gameplay is amazing, like really top notch, the graphics make the first game look like it came from 2005, and the level design is fantastic. They really paid attention to detail on the small things too like Ellies face changes when she’s killing an infected or when the weather changes, just wish they put that level detail into the story where the game really needs help Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only problem I had was the story execution. After the intro scene, Naughty Dog should have shown Joel's hospital rampage from Abby's perspective. Then you play as Abby until she gets split up from Owen, then it switches to Ellie waking up.

    For those of you unsure whether to play this game or not, just try it and form your own opinion. This game is great, if you loved the gameplay in part 1, you'll love it in part 2. The music, sound design, graphics, everything is top notch and it's stuff that Naughty Dog has been one of if not the best at since the PS3 generation.

    The story, well a lot of people are saying the story has plot holes. There are no plot holes. People are saying that it dumbs down characters, it dosen't do that either. The Abby hate is ridiculous and pretty silly considering that Joel killed her dad. However the story falls apart right there for a lot of people once Abby kills Joel. It falls apart to the point that when you play as Abby and see things from her point of few, people refuse to want to emphatize with her and a lot of people disconnect from the game entirely. If you can't emphasize with Abby and see things from her point of view, then you're not going to enjoy this story. If you see Ellie and Abby's conflict as a sinple protagonist/antagonist story, you won't enjoy it. None of these characters are villians or heroes, they're morally grey characters that have tragically gotten caught up in a cycle of violence and revenge.

    This story points out the bias, we the players, have for Joel and Ellie. Joel is not a hero, he's done some terrible things in his life and not all of them were in self defense. He also decided to sacrifice humanity's chance for a cure, and lied to Ellie about it. With all of these things known, people still refuse to understand why Abby does what she does. They still wish Joel's death would have been heroic, or that he wouldn't have died at all. Why? There are no heroic deaths in the world of the last of us, and a heroic death shouldn't be given to a man that's not a hero.

    People don't want to try and understand that Joel had this coming. If your loved one was killed, you would want revenge, so why can't you understand Abby's motivations? Players can't let go of the memory of Joel, just like Abby couldn't let go of her father's death and how Ellie can't let go of Joel's.

    Abby and Ellie have valid reasons to get revenge, but because both of them took that path, their lives and the lives of the people around them ended up worse.

    The ending has gotten hate, once again due to people not understanding why Ellie didn't kill Abby. Ellie didn't kill Abby because Ellie realized what she was becoming. The whole game Ellie struggles with forgiveness and holds grudges. She held grudges against Seth, Joel and against the WLF. And as Ellie held that critical grudge against Abby and the WLF and sought revenge, she started to turn into a monster. Torturing Nora, killing Mel, certain things Ellie would not normally do, she did in pursuit of revenge. Her revenge got Jesse killed, Tommy's own need for revenge left him blinded and at the end of the game is marriage was fractured. Ellie pushed for revenge and lost Dina. So all this buildup, all of that anger, exhausted her and she finally realized, killing Abby would not bring back Joel. And finally it seems that at the end of the game, Ellie was ready to move on.

    If Joel could move on and leave Ellie to her faith, he wouldn't have died at Abby's hand. If Abby had moved on, she wouldn't have lost all her friends. If Ellie moved on, Jesse would be alive and she would be with Dina. No one could move on and stop the cycle of violence and revenge, until finally at the end Ellie chose not to kill Abby.

    This story is dark, it's depressing and it hurts, it did something to me that no other game has done to besides Halo Reach and Red Dead Redemption, it made me cry. And Tlou 2 was the first game that made me truly feel bad for what these characters were going through, and it gave me vivid dreams about them.

    Play this game, it's fantastic and the story is too, but you have to open your mind, and truly try and understand the motivations of these characters.

    This review is really quick because all I’ll say is that the game was great. It’s really expanded the story of the previous game.

    The Last of Us is one of my favorite video games in existence. I'll even take that a step further and say it's one of my favorite overall media experiences, including books, movies, games, and anything else aimed at entertainment.

    The Last of Us is one of my favorite video games in existence. I'll even take that a step further and say it's one of my favorite overall media experiences, including books, movies, games, and anything else aimed at entertainment.

    When I put the first game down, I was short of breath. Something huge had just happened, and I don't mean in-game. I mean that I was changed, moved, and bettered as a person for having experienced it. This sounds like an exaggeration, and people don't often say these things about video games, but I believe it with every fiber of my being.

    Since that happened back in 2013, there have only been a handful of entertainment experiences that have affected me in such a way. There have been a couple episodes of certain TV shows, and a couple movies. There have even been a couple video games I'd say touched my heart in the same way, such as God of War. Today, in 2020, I can add another of these experiences to my list: The Last of Us Part II.

    I have never in my life been as disappointed as I am today, as I see the absolute travesty of a user review score on Metacritic for this game. The people involved in this game, in any way, do not deserve this. The reviews I'm reading are so outlandishly wrong that it's an absolute shame knowing that some potential future fans will be turned away by them. In my opinion, the low reviews are based on people who couldn't handle the emotional turmoil thrown their way. This game is not a game meant to make you feel good. It is there to shatter your heart into a thousand pieces. It is there to unravel the part of your being that makes you trustful and naive. It is there to force a harsh reality on you, and help you to understand that no reality is out of your control.

    I could go into the specifics of the game's content itself, but there are other reviews for that. I could explain that the stealth mechanics are slightly off, the combat situations are frustratingly difficult to read, and that there is more "cutscene" in this game than gameplay. You can create your own opinion on these things, but even despite them, this game is a 10/10 for me. It is the best video game I have ever played, and it is deserving of praise.

    Do not lose hope with the sea of negative reviews. These people are upset that the story didn't go the way they wanted it. They are upset because Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann took risks with their beloved characters to engage you in a deeply disturbing, yet rewarding narrative. I expected there to be backlash, but the response I've seen to this game is a complete betrayal of those who love stories that bring you real emotion, drama, and suspense.

    The Last of Us Part II is an incredible game, and an incredible experience. Do not miss out on this game just because of what you've heard from others. Do yourself a favor; see and experience it for yourself.

Also for the people complaining about "censorship issues" Sony does not care what kind of fetishes you have. If you find this review bad, fine then. I don't care. I'm not going to say "everyone who disagrees with me is hitler" but what I am gonna say is actually buy the game if you're going to do a review on it. Don't just say you're writing a review because "the leaks showed me everything" or "there's a woman who's has muscles in the game meaning shes trans (women can have muscles too) and stronger than me don't buy!" don't be that kind of person.

Like .05 percent of the population. No were not bots you idiots. You were told we didn't want this game yet you forced it on us.You should have delayed the release date and fixed it. We get ellie is gay and had to come out on gay month. Wow how brave.. not! Just so you know we know ellie wasn't gay until the dlc and you know what I don't care she is now but we all know it was pushed for her to be gay for pandering reasons. Then apparently Abby is a trans but shes not but she is? Wtf are you doing with this game. You're lying trailer trying to fool people, your b.s censorship and your outright lies have come to collect. Not only is this game boring because your never playing it, cut scenes of crap you don't care about because who cares about Neil sleeping with Abby and fake gay ellie. Joel dies from the woman he saves and trust these random people? Did you all even play the first game? Joel doesn't trust people!! This game is full of an agenda and nothing more. The story is ellie goes and hunts down the people that killed joel, she doesn't kill them after killing a bunch of people to reach the people who killed joel. Umm what is point of even playing then? Graphics are good? it's the same damn engine!!! The game is cut scenes. The weapons are the same, the moments are the same. Oh boy i can lay down now!! Screw this game!! Screw naughty dog!! There is a reason why everyone left your crapy stupid studio! 70 percent of your leads left. You know what was good, the new cod storyline because thoes people were the ones who worked on the first last of us game! You guys are done!

    I will try to get this done without any spoilers.
    First of all u need to be more open to things. I don't care if Abby is a halfguy or transgender thingy. If your dad gets killed by a random person, u will start training as well. There's a good film about something like that it's called law abiding citizen. If my wife gets killed by something like that, I would do literally the same.

    Back to the game. At the moment there are to many LGBT things going on.
    I don't care about Elie beeing a lesbian, I think it's kinda cool.
    Gameplay is in my opinion okay, there could be some changes like more weapons variety or alternativ routes to get to a better position.
    I love how the dialogs are written it's could be an ordinary conversation. The design of the world is fking great. The character desgings are also fantastic, never saw so much realism in a game on a console. I love the expression of their faces and the the npcs are never useless, they're doing a great job in my opinion. Okay sometimes there are some tiny bugs, but don't care about them, I paid 60 euros for that game. I played it over 20 hours, so it's 3 Euro for a hour and I am totally okay with that. Sad thing is, the Elli part is to short, they could've expand the story about her revenge a little bit more.



    Now. I had alot of fun with this game, but I can totally understand the rage from the community.
    But I had a great time with this game, honestly

    I wasn't disappointed.
    I will always remember the **** dialoges between Elli and Joel, there are not bad written but they are funny bad, cus of cringe and I love that. The last if us part II isnt a game for everyone, u need to be more open to alot of things, ofc there are some strange facts about this game, but I had alot of fun with it and I know, alot of people won't read this post. But I needed to share my experiences with other people.
    It's in my opinion a solid 7.5/10 so it gets 8 points from me.

    Everyone should watch a let's play of this game to get a own view on things. U should always remember, there are 2 sides of a medal. Same for this game, Abby was ad about her father, Elli was sad about Joel, there is no difference between those characters (ok, muscles maybe, Abby is a bit to "muscular" but I can totally relate to that, because she is in a **** military base and not like Elli in a small village)

    Well I don't know about the perfect scores and 10s, but the only 10 here is the graphics. The story is extremely disappointing and writing is horrible. It's like I'm watching a B-Grade teenage flick. They ruined the old characters and the new ones are not interesting. The only good moments were from the bonding between Joel and Ellie. All in all a very disappointing experience for a game from ND.

    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.
