    Amazing end of era for PS4, all of us can be disappointed of story, but not always happens what you want, and Neil Druckman with Naughty Dog told us their story, waiting for PART III, Ellie's story needs to be continued and finished with honor.
    Thank you Neil Druckman and Naughty Dog team.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets put this simply, this game is very good but in my opinion definitely not a masterpiece. Firstly ill say if you asked me to rate the game after my first twelve hours (which was playing as Ellie) i would've given it a 10/10, honestly the Joel death was devastating but i understood why they decided to go through with this narrative and it gave me such a will to go on to get revenge for him which therefore made me hungry to see how this story would unfold and obviously at this point i was desperate to kill Abby.

    So going through the first part with Ellie and Dina was great in my opinion, the game looked incredible and i loved the more open aspect of the game and how there are things you can miss if you dont search everything which was something i fell victim to missing Ellie sing take on me to Dina. Anyway to make a long story short i loved every moment of the story with Ellie and Dina together in Seattle. Keeping with Ellie i also liked Jesse and found their dialogue together to be interesting and enjoyable to listen to. Also the fact that the whole Ellie section included flashbacks was great for me, so yes Joel was killed yet we got to see some great moments between them especially the museum which was my personal favorite part of the game.

    Anyway going on to the revenge part of the story for Ellie, i rather enjoyed going through it seeing how much it effects her killing all these people. But obviously the cost of revenge is also shown which obviously leads to the death of Jesse which was quite a shocking moment for me to see happen but it made sense. Anyway now onto the part that stopped this game being one of the greats for me.

    So obviously now we go on to Abby and honestly ill straight up say i was devastated after finding out i was playing 10 hours of her to be honest but i thought 'oh you know maybe ill grow on her' but no not at all. Like i said earlier i was fine with Joel's death but i was definitely not fine with controlling his killer, obviously i get why they did it to understand her reasoning but i just couldn't get into her character and honestly when characters like Mel, Owen and Manny died i just didnt feel bad as i felt no connection to them, however ill quickly said i was a fan of both Lev and Yara and thought they were good additions, were definitely a good point of Abby's section and did really will them on. But overall Abby's section was only a 6/10 for me

    Anyway ill quickly talk about the ending, to be honest i personally didn't feel satisfied as i felt emptiness really as i just really wanted to see Ellie get her revenge due to my personal connection to Joel, however i did understand why what happened, happened and can say despite not personally feeling happy i get why the ending was what it was.

    Overall pros:
    . Ellie's section of the game- overall story including relationships with characters and flashbacks.
    . Look of the game
    . Attention to detail
    . Great soundtrack
    . Brilliant acting by all
    . Satisfaction of combat
    . Larger areas to look around
    . Amazing design (Characters, infected)
    . Extra dialogue (enemies communications, reacting to deaths)
    Cons:
    . Abby's story
    . Premature deaths
    . Pacing at points
    . Not great CPU
    . Sometimes overly coincidental
    . Poor character choices (Ellie leaving map for Abby for example)

    Compared to other Naughty dog games i would put this behind Uncharted 2,4 and the Last of us part 1

    I think TLOU Part 2 is one of the best games in its genre.

It has everything what a good sequal should have. Sure it has some bad sides too, it is not perfect. I mean of course there are some points that can be critisized, but the hate? Just nope. I'm not a person who easily impressed, but if you haven't played it yet I can assure that tlou part 2 is not a disappointment. Expand

    Bold story! Ignore the hate this is one of the best games of the generation. Naughty Dog took some serious risks and elevated storytelling in gaming. The title is getting hate for its inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters. This hate shows that games need more queer characters or the medium will be forever stuck pandering to basement dwelling misogynists.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not about Revenge.
    This game is about the lack of forgiveness and the cry for blood.
    This game is about (for the most part) everybody out to do good, but convinced of that self image always ending up attacking others and seeking revenge on others.

    There is a deeper layer to this when the creators say "we feel like this story needed to be told".
    There is a deeper layer to almost every character of some importance or power being a woman.
    There is a deeper layer to almost non of them doing any better than the men.
    There is a deeper layer to almost every man dominant in the story being in the flashbacks.
    There is a deeper layer to Elli pretty much beginning the game with calling someone a "biggot".
    There is a deeper layer in players/fans calling this game out for being "made for SJWs".

    Among these layers are the facts that we are all just human, just because men are out of power (or in case of this game, dead) will not make the world a better place, women will light it on fire just as much. And there is also the fact that people will feel trigged, will start to look for a fight, because at first the woman dominated world with a lesbian protagonist that replaces the man sounds like tagged on to please "SJW" and the Media (Oscar bait in the movie world i suppose). But it's not. You got to look at these deeper layers. It's very well crafted.

    The biggest downside of the game is it's gameplay. It's great, it's fun, it's well don, it looks good... but sometimes you just want to be in the story, see what happens next and instead you have to cut through buildings for the next couple of hours. It kinda gets in the way. I can't wait to see what HBO dos with it's adaptation. This could become what "The Walking Dead" should have been.

    It's a great ride, try it... and see if you are willing to forgive, willing to not jump at the triggers the writers put in this game just for you to bark, just for you to go looking for a fight (albeit a less deadly one). This is a masterpiece.

    Some folks may legitimately not like how events transpire early in the game. But, they are necessary to drive the narrative. This is a post-apocalyptic world. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are evil people in the world who are going to do evil things. As one other user put it... "This is not Ellie and Joel's road trip part 2".

    That said, even if you didn't like the story, this game does not deserve a 0 score. Or anything below a 5 in my opinion. There's just so much that is outstanding in this game besides the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such an emotional experience! At times, this game felt like playing an action movie. The graphics and attention to detail are spot on for Naughty Dog. By the end cut scene I felt as exhausted as Ellie. Playing as Abby really grew on me. The characters in her life felt real, complex, and three dimensional. I saw all the cutscene leaks that came out in April and I was not prepared for how truly out of context they turned out to be. The cut scenes have so much weight after you’ve been through the journey of playing to get there. This is a one of a kind game that is a brilliantly executed story. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though Joel's death happened in the game and the ending was a little disappointing, but understandable, because Ellie felt guilty, the game itself is incredible. Graphics, music, sound effects ... I particularly liked the story, even though it has some details that leave something to be desired. I think the people who were most disappointed were those who waited 7 years for a continuation of Joel's story, but I think Naughy Dog made it clear from the beginning that the game would be more focused on the story of Ellie and the new character Abby. I finished the game yesterday and in all the days that I played, there was not a single time that I did not cry .... each scene made with many details and everything is beautiful! ❤️ Expand

    Una obra maestra. Es uno de los mejores juegos de la generación, junto con Red Dead Redemption 2 y The Witcher 3.
    El título es una exquisitez jugablemente, con un gameplay cuidado al extremo (excepto algunos errores puntuales de la IA), excelente diseño de niveles, que aprovecha como ningún otro la verticalidad de los diferentes escenarios, recompensando la exploración, con coleccionables, recursos, notas y anotaciones. A lo largo de su historia se representan infinidad de escenarios muy diferentes entre sí, que le aporta frescura al juego a pesar de repetir bastante algunas situaciones, principalmente, zona con enemigos y uso de sigilo para limpiarla y avanzar. Así y todo, en ningún momento se me hizo repetitivo, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que se plantean también muchas situaciones novedosas, incluyendo escenas esriptadas que le aportan originalidad y ritmo al juego.
    El nivel gráfico es impresionante, al nivel de RDR2, con escenarios hermosamente detallados, el nivel de las animaciones es claramente de lo mejor que se haya visto jamás. Detalles en las expresiones faciales, o ver como nuestro personaje amartilla el arma al mantener el modo apuntado brevemente, son increíbles, pero también es ver la aglidad cuando van corriendo y se tira al piso, o cuando escala una soga o simplemente cuando rompe una ventana. También quiero destacar el nivel de inmersión, sobre todo en situaciones tensas que afrontamos principalmente en lugares cerrados y oscuros.
    En cuanto a la banda sonora, también es espectacular, el trabajo de Santaolalla se mantiene a un nivel altísimo durante todo el juego, un trabajo impecable.
    Por último voy a hablar sobre la historia, que quizás es el punto que más controversia ha generado. La historia del juego es adulta, es sombría y dura. Habrá gente a la que le gustará y gente a la que no, pero funciona, mantiene al jugador interesado hasta el final, es coherente y tiene un mensaje claro. Es admirable el riesgo que ha tomado Naughty Dog al elegir este camino, y lo hace de forma magistral, en el sentido de que recorremos el camino viviendo las dos caras de la moneda, y aunque no estemos de acuerdo con las desiciones que se van tomando, no es nuestra historia la que se cuenta, es la historia de sus protagonistas y en ese sentido nada se puede reclamar.
    Para concluir, solamente puedo decir que como juego, TLOU 2 es espectacular, una experiencia 100% recomendable para quien sea capaz de aceptar la historia que se cuenta, tal como se cuenta.

    This game purposefully makes it hard to "look for the light in the darkness", which I'm not sure makes me feel love or disappointment in the end... but that is the point, which I deeply appreciate as part of its design.

    I really hate to see so many people bashing this game (many of whom did so before even having time to finish the game). As a huge fan of the TLoU, I was not disappointed. This was a fantastic sequel, which I had a hard time putting down.

    Also the game gets more better and better after time... Please play this and don't judge this game!!!

You're ok with killing hundreds of humans but it bothers you to kill an attack dog? I think there's a bit of generational disconnect going on here that parallels our political environment. Unfortunately a large portion of people can't separate their political know-it-all behavior from enjoying a video game and that's just awful for them. If you can, you'll love it, it's absolutely a masterpiece. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, the devs at Naughty Dog need commending for the sheer quality of The Last of Us Part II, never have I seen such a graphical masterpiece coming from my PS4! This game brings smiles, tears, fear, shock and disbelief. It is a rollercoaster of emotion that is certainly hammered down in it’s final hours. It is unrelenting in regards to the revenge and hate aspect it’s quite clearly portraying, this game is certainly not for the faint hearted. The story, albeit a little skewed, is fantastic for the most part and the new character Abby, as much as people don’t seem to like her... I enjoyed her arc. Abby very much symbolises what Ellie has gone through and ultimately, both Abby and Ellie are as good and as bad as each other. The downside to this game would be the length of which you play as Abby, but other than that the game is golden. The negative reviews are certainly from people who haven’t taken the time to play the game through to it’s end and let the story sink in, this game is certainly a contender for GOTY if not GOTG! Neil Druckmann and Co have done a fantastic job with this title and the voice acting is 100% perfect! My only hope is that a Part III follows to wrap up the story once and for all! The Last of Us Part II as well as it’s predecessor are fine examples of deep, emotionally envoking story telling and I hope this trend continues going forward! Well done again Naughty Dog! You have earned this! Expand

If someone personally hated every aspect of the story, every word that came out of the character's mouths; it still can't be a 0. People are willing to throw aside the game-play, graphics and animation because this is a sequel that gives all who played the first installment very intense emotions. I myself, was affected very strongly by the opening of the game. For a few moments, it wasn't a game anymore. Fixated on the screen, I played the game from start to finish in one sitting. But, even though I'm giving the game a strong 10/10, I did experience what those who gave it a 0 did. Watching Joel die was gut wrenching. We all cared about Joel, some of us cared more than we thought. This masterpiece doesn't get to be brought down because some of us can't handle our emotions. Would you prefer Ellie kill a barley alive Abby and leave a child to die? Would you prefer we turn Ellie into the monster she was hunting all along? Those who give 0/10s don't think about it because they can't see past our dead friend. Expand

    -The gameplay is stressed out in every detail and ingenuity.
    -Very elaborate graphics and character movement.
    -Realistic emotions of the characters.
    -A very brutal but intense story that you can't miss a moment.

    All of these things combine on a very high level to form this top notch video game.

    So it's a shame that this game is getting unfair reviews. If you all have a real love for video games, play it for yourself and enjoy Ellie's I want you to relive the story.

    Die Spielphysik und Steuerung ist fast wie beim ersten Teil. Aber die Aufmachung ist top, auch zu beachten ist Wertungsfrei gesehen eine hohe Brutalität. Die nicht in meine Wertung einfließt. Im Grundsatz sollte man eher den Wertungen derSpielkritikern von Testseiten oder Zeitschriften glauben.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s really sad that I have to give a 10 when I wanted to give an 8.9 to this game bc a bunch of people want a Hollywood-like game where nothing matters, there’s only blood and vengeance and a **** ton of violence. Dude if you want that, go play uncharted or saints row or GTA. This game made me hate a character then love it by the end. Spherical characters like Abby are rare in any type of entertainment form (movies, books, games, etc). The only thing that would make me rate this game an 8.9 and not a 10 is how they made Abby look like a villain, following a mutation where she looks like a good guy, then it ends by the game spitting on your childish face that there are no villains or heroes, there are just people trying to survive. Just like Joel. However, when they try to do the same thing with Ellie, she begins the game like a Hero (opposite To Abby) then she turns into a genocidal maniac (for her own reasons, I guess), making her look like a person living in an apocalypse.But the game finishes with her looking like a villain. It’s incoherent as to what happened to Abby. Don’t like it. It’s an irrational conclusion. The very very final scene should’ve been better. All in all, Joel’s death meant that he was trying to be better so he could have his redemption towards Ellie (remember their talk on the day previous to his death — also, that justifies why he was dumb to fall into a trap TLOU 1 Joel wouldn’t. He was trying to be kinder to have his redemption with Ellie). Conclusion: people crying over “Joel deserved better” or “I wanted to kill Abby” didn’t get the point of the game that there are no villains nor heroes and Joel was an **** to other people, so what he really deserved was an according death. I’m happy and satisfied with it. If you didn’t get it, you’re just being too emotional or straight up childish. Grow the **** up you **** Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved the game.
    Even though the story is not as deep as the first game, this sequel prevails with a dark story worthy of a post-apocalyptic world. In this game we focus more on the world that the human has created after more than 20 years of outbreak day (as it is called in the game), the way in which the different clans and groups of people that have been created try to survive and thrive, and the general physical state of the world (which turns out to be beautiful). The graphics are impressive and the gameplay is very fluid and full of action.
    Now the characters. The fact that you can see the two parts of the same story from different perspectives makes you understand a lot about the psychology of the characters and the people in general. Yes, Joel is brutally murdered. But in the end, everything is a consequence of the actions he did in the past (referring to the end of Last Of Us). It teaches us that in that world nobody will have a slight chance of a fair trial. It's the survival of the fittest at its finest. Both Ellie and Abby's actions are understandable, especially when you get into a game that creates a post-apocalyptic world on par with the TV series The Walking Dead.
    Revenge takes little if not almost no importance in the end because both characters realize that there are other things to fight for in a world where anarchy reigns. Throughout the game you encounter infected (which after a long time in this imaginary world tend not to be as important as they were before), people with axes and hammers, clans as organized as the military itself, and men, women and children trying to survive. At this point you realize that when they told that you would get uncomfortable playing the game they were right. As Bill said beautifully in the first game: “You know, as bad as those things are, at least they’re predictable. it’s the normal people that scare me.”
    Excellent game, I will play it again.

    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.
