I get that some people would have wanted to see things play out differently, but Naughty Dog is in control here, not us the players. We are taken on a journey to see how THEIR story plays out. You don't have to like the choices made, but the story is incredibly deep and captivating. I fully admit that I did not want to play as Abby at all. About halfway through her portion of the game, I came to realize that I no longer hated her, even if her actions were deplorable. Just a bunch of regular people in a **** up world with at times broken moral compasses.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand why people are claiming the story is poor. The story is about the horror of vengeance and the loss that comes from it. It is a stirring experience told from opposing viewpoints where both characters are the hero in their story. The writing and acting is excellent.

    There are moments that are extremely difficult to watch but really add to the impact of the games. There were times were I was actually shocked when a character died. I was riveted to the story and completed the game in only a few sittings.

    I do still think the first game is the better of the two. TLoU2 had some pacing issues in the middle of it and probably could have been a little shorter without sacrificing much but overall I really enjoyed the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally it’s an amazing game...I think most people that hate on it would only be happy if it told the story that they specifically wanted. It takes them out of there comfort zone and they aren’t happy about it. Forced to face the reality that the end of the first game had very real consequences for other innocent people and loved ones, they’d rather ignore the fact that Joel’s choice was a rather selfish one that meets its reckoning on the end of another selfish choice. What happens in this game is no less justified than the choice Joel made at the end of the first, chew on that for a bit. If your looking for a feel good story, then it’s not for you. But if your looking for a story that looks deeper into the shades of gray that make up the human psyche, you won’t be disappointed.… Expand

Everyone has different ideas about what the game should've been, myself included, but thats not how you rate a game. The final matter is that it's a cliche revenge plot that executes well on driving home the point of the story. Ellie is still one of my favorite characters in gaming and that won't change, love Dina too but she wasn't in it that much to REALLY attach myself to her as much as Ellie.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m gonna be honest, no game has ever **** with my emotions to this extent. This game made me feel so many different things from the start to the end; Happiness in Jackson
    Sadness at Joel’s death
    Anger during Ellie’s quest for revenge
    Frustration when initially we switched to Abby
    Confusion as we played through Abby’s story
    Sheer horror in the hospital as Abby
    Incompletion when Ellie lost to Abby
    Completion at the farm with Dina, Ellie and JJ
    Shock at Abby’s capture
    And finally
    A total sense of peace at the ending.
    I can’t see how people are hating on the story, it is so beautifully written.
    The way they made me go from despising Abby to actually loving her as a character is INSANE, and I doubt any other game could ever do that for me.
    I couldn’t understand what I was feeling myself, until I progressed to day 2 and 3 for Abby
    And as it unravelled I was more and more amazed as to how attached I was getting to her
    Of course, I don’t think we need to talk about the sound design, graphics, animations, gameplay, and all the other content not directly related to the story, because that has never been done better on any PS4 title I’ve ever played. This game was purely phenomenal. And Naughty Dog has knocked it out of the park. Definitely will replay. Thank you, Neil Druckmann, and the whole team.
    Also, the voice acting, even in the first game, man it is done too well for a video game. Every single character feels so real, and of course, Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker are absolute LEGENDS.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my personal point of view. I really liked the game and I find a bit unfair all the negative comments going on.

    I went through such an emotional roller coaster throughout the game and while I also had moments of 'anger' and frustration the first time they make you swap characters....as time goes by, it all made sense...starting to see the story develop from the 'enemy's' point of view was a progressive learning curve for Abby and would connect in such an emotional way with Ellie.

    This stops being about the infection and more about humanity through different perspectives. It was so nostalgic and emotional all the way you can connect with each character as you spend more time with them, exploring more views of the world we hadn't seen from Ellie's point of view. It was such an emotional wreck when you see a similar reflection of Ellie's story through Abby as she also goes through similar changes of heart and perspectives as she also connects with Lev. It is kind of a mirror story from Ellie and Joel in a way, and I've found the storytelling as a genius plan.

    The way Joel is portrayed was super emotional as well...it makes you right away feel Ellie's anger and as she goes on and on...as much as loving Ellie, you feel like you just want her to stop being in pain...and all the shocking moments in Seattle and her reason to go out again to California....is so powerful and painful (in a respectful way and greatly done).

    While also kind of hating to play as Abby at first, as time went by, the story makes you really connect with her and I've found it brilliant how the game gives you an expanded and also different experience that at the end, I ended up enjoying a lot. The different weapons, fighting style, challenges and also epic story and challenges to face as Abby, were great.

    I've never felt so conflicted internally when you connect again with Ellie....I just didn't want to fight against her and while you start to understand Abby, you want them to stop...it was so thrilling to play through that, knowing both's perspectives. Then being Ellie again and fighting against Abby out of rage and all the trouble you go through....was so emotional and I found a great resolution of Ellie finally 'letting go'.

    I have nothing but respect and thanks to Naughty Dog for making such a bold and daring new emotional experience as a whole. I'll always love Ellie and Joel, but this second part made me go beyond what I thought about empathy and perspective of different people. This was such a powerful experience.

    Beyond the great story everything is amazingly executed, the artistry, environments, animation, lighting, fx, cinematography, the connection between cinematics and playable action and of course, the beautiful and melancholic music. If I had a hat on, I'd take it off and say: Thank you.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is really not a bad game, it has deep and emotional moments, colourful characters, a superb way of telling its story, not to speak of the finely tuned gameplay, taking all the good elements from its predecessor in a more vivid and realistic framework.

    But then there is the story itself, and I just have to give my few cents, so here is where the SPOILERS begin. It is easy to see why the story splits the fanbase in two:

    One half clinging to the old characters, they get a story not of loss, but of denial. No matter what you grow to want for the characters you love from the first part, you do not get it. Do you choose revenge? It is denied to you, not once but then once again. Do you instead choose peace and try to move ahead? Again denied and at least far off in the distance once the credits roll, with the few last positive anchor points of the past ripped away from you. So even if you change your mind, it is all the same: you can't have what you want. This game would benefit so much from the possibility of choice in its key moments, but without it, you as a player are forced down this bitter path of denial the storytellers have envisioned for you. From a bright start full of hope, almost every character of the old game ends up as a complete mess in a lonely void. Cannot be denied that this will be a memorable way nevertheless!

    The other half of the fanbase, embracing the new characters and leaving the old ones behind, they experience a totally different story. Then you will get a revenge tale done right with only minor losses that were already becoming less and less impactful. Instead, you will find redemption and new companions on the way as a kickstart for adventures in a shiny future.

    So for everyone expecting to continue the story of the first game, this will be a journey full of emotions, but mostly negative ones. And you only get compensation for it if you manage to swing over to the new characters.

    Can't help it, but if you would apply this kind of denial-story to the first game you would end up with something like this: Joel choosing not to rescue Ellie for the sake of humanity - and then the surgeon not being able to extract the fungal cells and Ellie still dying in the process. Joel then walking off alone. Or, even more frustrating, Joel saving Ellie only to be shot down by Marlene who puts Ellie back to surgery and then the surgeon still fails the operation. Could happen, would be very intense and emotional, but ultimately just denying you any form of fulfilment. Not sure if that's a good story to tell!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After an extremely rocky-road to release, filled with delays, leaks, bad-press, and hate (ironically enough), the last of us part 2 has finally been released and i have just completed it today at 1 AM in the morning. I can thankfully say it was worth the wait. [limk omitted per site rules]
    The Last of Us Part 2 starts off with Joel informing Tommy about what exactly transpired at the end of part 1. Which as a we know, was a divisive and not easy decision to make. Does he lose another “daughter,” this time for the greater good, or does he put his self-interest above a world that is already too far deep into the **** To me, both choices would’ve been understandable. But one ends up having mass consequences.

    At the beginning of the last of us part 2, ellie and joel’s relationship is strained and you can feel the tension evident in the wonderfully performed cut scenes with some of the most advanced motion capture technology to date, also accompanied by another fantastic soundtrack from Gustavo Santaolla. .

    The game introduces you to the world of the last of us part 2 through a lengthy tutorial-like, opening chapter. Where Ellie goes on a peaceful patrol with her love interest Dina, taking out a few infected and clickers in the typical last of us style gameplay. In this sequence, while the gameplay, isn’t the most exciting (yet), we are re-introduced to the extremely detailed environments and world-building that we’d expect from naughty dog. In this game though, they really go above and beyond what they’ve done in the past, rivaling, or even surpassing rockstar in this aspect. Naughty as well even throughs in a few easter-eggs that many of us will at least chuckle at, or have a smile on our face.

    Unfortunately, this smile on our face is quickly turned upsidedown when we are introduced to Abby and friends, who are on a haunt to fulfill a mission of revenge, even playing as her throughout this opening sequence. If you saw the spoilers like me, you knew exactly what this was going to escalate into.

    Abby ultimately crosses into this horde of infected, which starts off one of the many extremely tense set pieces in the last of us part 2, accompanied by a heart-pulsing soundtrack also from Mr. Robot’s Mac Quayle. I honestly can’t emphasize enough how incredible the combat music is for this game. You can really feel the tension and sweaty palms. Abby, is fortunately saved by our very own, fan-favorite Joel, and then Uncle Tommy who are also out on patrol at this time. This portion of the game is honestly the only major gripe i have with the writing and execution. Tommy, amidst the snow-storm and infected horde, tells Abby his and Joel’s name. Joel and Tommy ultimately agree to shamelessly seek refuge from the dangerous horde, and terrible snowstorm, at Abby’s place, unaware of the fate that awaits. While this is happening, Ellie and Dina are having one of the many intimate moments of the game, only to be disrupted by Jesse, who informs them of Tommy and Joel’s absence. I could unfortunately only want to punch my wall at this moment due to just how stupidly Joel dies. At the time of me experiencing his death in the game, I was angry. Both at the game and at myself for buying into this lazy written game. This whole sequence I felt was extremely rushed and he died too early, the execution could’ve been better.

    Thankfully enough, the game is only uphill from this point on, both in terms of gameplay, and writing. Ellie and Dina arrive in Seattle after Tommy, and we are immediately re-introduced to what we love about Naughty Dog games. The Seattle area features a linear-world similar to Uncharted The Lost Legacy. It features many side objectives, with an exploration into optional areas that pay off. This is accompanied by very tender and quirky dialogue moments between Ellie and Dina, extremely layered and detailed stores and environments, satisfying combat that now features a nicely refined gameplay system that includes a dodge and jump button that helps separate ellie from joel’s gameplay in the first game. Allowing her to be extremely stealth like a snake, or to get to areas out of reach in hopes for supplies, cute cards filled with easter-eggs, safes, or notes that fill in the gaps between the ongoing past and present battles in Seattle that include WLF, FEDRA, and the seraphites. A lot of them even include extremely interesting stories about personal experiences in the world, such as the story of Boris and his friends. The story of Boris and his friends is one of the many extremely layered optional side collectibles that you will not regret reading into.

    It seems that Metacritic has a limit.

    All in all, it's a 9/10 game, few weird pacing moments, but everything else it's a very memorable and special experience won't be forgotten for a while. I can only feel it'll be loved as time goes on.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi, I'm never write critics of videogames but in this opportunity is only diferent.
    I'm not speak English, but I can do this little introduction. If you don't understand anything Spanish, The Google traductor is a option for you hahaha. And calm, this is little critic, and I don't Say spoilers =). Bueno, The Last Of Us Parte ll es un titulazo, que si no fuera por "meteduras de pata" que luego al ver el título entero pasan a segundo plano, podría haber sido igual a su predecesor o superior. Por "meteduras de pata" te invito a jugarlo porque no arruinaré la experiencia a nadie.
    En todos los apartados logra un sobresaliente, excepto en 3, la historia, (que es buena, pero abusa de los flashbacks y la inclusión), el doblaje en español latino que decayó un poco, y su duración que es un tanto exagerada, pese a que es un juego rejugable por todo lo que te queda por disfrutar y desbloquear.
    Y cuando digo todos los apartados es formidable, es sí, formidable, (llámese detalles, historia pese a que tiene huecos, crafteo, gráficos, mecánicas, enemigos, las facciones de WLF y Serafitas, explorar, puzzles, momentos épicos, muertes que te duelen y emocionan, etc). Quizás en personajes queda un poco flojo también porque algunos te llegan y otros no, cosa que no flaqueaba en su predecesor, pero hay más de alguno rescatable y que te queda en la mente, pero de los importantes ninguno te es indiferente, sientes algo y queda manifiesto ante tanto odio al título, su temática arriesgadísima y mensaje.
    The Last Of Us 1 es el juego de la década pasada, le guste a quien le guste, es cosa solo de informarse, pero esto es todo lo contrario, osea sí, está mal lo que hacen, terrible, pero para que veamos el otro lado o cara de la moneda, en eso que hizo Naughty Dog es para sacarse el sombrero, les pregunto. ¿Qué juego a 10 días de su lanzamiento había logrado tanto revuelo? ¿Tanto odio? O lo amas, o lo odias. Sean maduros amigos, juéguenlo antes de juzgar, hay momentos épicos estilo Uncharted que es marca de la casa, incluso Resident Evil, tiene hasta su tono RPG incluso y para que voy a hablar de los infectados, sencillamente formidable, a veces pierde un poco su esencia, pero por disfrutar más se la doy y apoyo esta decisión.
    Quiero ver esto como avanza su aceptación en el tiempo, pero este juego es un gran título, tengan la mente fría amigos, por más amor que le tengan a su predecesor tienen que pensar que es un juego que posee un enfoque totalmente contrastado, la venganza, el odio y sus consecuencias.
    Es algo que te deja pensando y mientras redacto esto está toda la comunidad dividida, lo amas o lo odias, y me parece genial, pero el odio posee un límite. Estoy seguro que de las 100.000 personas que votaron o más aquí, ni la mitad lo habrá jugado. ¿Realmente juzgas un título o una película por su carátula?
    Ahora, para el que piense si merece la pena comprarlo, mi respuesta es un profundo sí, pero no te mentiré, no supera al pasado. Está segunda parte puede estar justificada, realmente cuando decían que es el juego más ambicioso que ha diseñado Naughty Dog, les encuentro la razón, pero a veces la ambición comete errores y creo que les terminó pasando la cuenta.
    Pero en resumen, es un título bueno, grande, no supera a su predecesor pero te recomiendo jugarlo.
    Por último si te enfada tanto la historia simplemente ven por el multijugador (que ya se viene próximamente), cuando baje de precio, y no me han pagado ni nada, es una pequeña reseña. No se dejen llevar por los comentarios, este juego no será GOTY (puede que posiblemente si sea nominado), tampoco juego de la generación por esos errores totalmente evitables, y un título que no dejó indiferente a nadie, pero por ser está compañía quedé con sabor a más. Espero aprendan del error que cometieron, pero de cierta manera se salieron con la suya, provocaron una total tormenta de arena en toda internet.
    Mi nota final es un 9.4, le dejo la misma que tiene en este medio por los críticos especializados, ya que en muchas cosas coincido. Le dejaré 10 para que remonte por esta campaña injusta que se le ha hecho. ¿Cambiar la historia, en serio? La gente cree a veces que es fácil crear un juego, son los dueños y si les da por matar a todos lo hacen, punto (no pasa, tranquilos, es una metáfora).
    Gracias por su tiempo, haré un análisis a fondo, no defundiré Spam aquí, pero doy mi granito de arena con argumentos, y con que una persona haya leído esto y se haya replanteado su elección o simplemente ayudo a subir el respeto que se merece un buen título soy feliz. No hice ningún Spoiler, es muy disfrutable, pero te digo, si eres fan te va a doler, así que prepárate. Pero no todo es color de rosas. Es inverosímil que tuviera un 96 el día 12 de Junio con más de más de 90 críticas, y un 3 por los usuarios y 4 millones de ventas en su primera semana. Piensen chicos/as.

    Game Design:

    From a gameplay point of view, we find the solid foundations of the first game improved to provide a more complex experience. Hand-to-hand combat becomes technical, the infiltration phases completely change facets (thanks to the possibility of crawling) and the shooting sequences are always as involved. The game includes many new gameplay mechanics that add to the gaming experience.

    The level design is also very good. The levels are now more open (although remaining in a "corridor game") and invite you to explore. You never lose sight of your goal but you easily find yourself going the opposite way to explore all the nooks and crannies of the area and discover what it contains. And there are many things to discover: collectibles, small pieces of narration to trigger, craft resources, etc. ; all without ever getting bored. The presence of puzzles that are neither too hard nor too complex enhance the expertise of Naughty Dog in terms of level design.

    Graphics:

    Graphically, the game is of course magnificent. We are close to photorealism and we are sometimes surprised to be "only" in front of a video game as the world created and its details are glaring in realism. The animations of the characters and their reactions according to the actions of the player make them "real".

    Sound Design

    Playing is an auditory orgasm, whether for sound effects or voice acting.

    As with The Last of Us, the game benefits from the music of Gustavo Santaolalla which, although discreet, is always there when it is needed.

    Scenario (without spoilers)

    Naughty Dog has always had great scriptwriting ambitions, and The Last of Us Part 2 proves it once again.

    The story is poignant from start to finish, but it is also surprising. For 7 years and the thousands of possible theories concerning this sequel, it would have been difficult to think that the scenario would take such a turn. Do not start the game imagining that you will have the perfect scenario that you had imagined. This will not be the case. Launch the game to have the pleasure of discovering something new.

    Prepare to be shocked, intrigued, moved, angry, happy, thoughtful but never disappointed. It is a story which does not spare the player, but which is worth seeing (and played).

    Conclusion:

    The Last os Us Part 2 is the worthy successor of the first opus. It even hits harder than its predecessor for the reasons mentioned above. Naughty Dog understood what worked best in The Last of Us and sublimated it in Part II. A unique and rare experience that takes the quality of the video game industry up a notch.

    And since it must be given a rating: 9/10 (because no game is and will never be 100% perfect)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like this game. the first was something special not only for its setting but story and characters. The chemistry between the characters joel and ellie are carried over from the first game, however the way the plot progresses seems to be only hindering its ability to tell a coherent story. most of this game seems to be in the past rather in the present. while its great to learn about characters and what their motivations are, its also important how we receive that information. if the information is given through a series of flashback with the outcome already made clear, why are we having those flashbacks. it feels like Abby could've had a heart to heart with one of her friends to tell them why she hates joel. that information is still their so we dont need a detailed flashback. the character joel while the chemistry between him and ellie is still there, he seems to have forgotten what being a survivor is. while it can be argued that hes gone soft because of the time he spent there or the nice people who walk through, it feels forced. the last of us is a dog eat dog world to its extreme, the fact that hunters or any other faction near them hasent attempted to take over is beyond me. they let people in so that would make it easy to stage an attack but no. those 4 years had to have been peaceful for joel to turn soft. the way he died is disrespectful. if you look at other beloved character deaths, they are handled with sincerity and care. they were with us in a journey, they achieved somewhat of they wanted. joel was axed 2 hours in the game. if neil thought this was a good idea like the first with sarah and joel. he was wrong, we cared for Sarah for the time we were with her but the sadness we felt was the utter helpness that joel had to go through knowing that his daughter was gone. Ellie was not innocent nor was joel sympathetic because joel is a awful human being. hes a great character with clear motivations and few morals. i didnt mind joel dying i took issue with how he died. he was never careful or suspicious, its as if yesterday was his first day in a post apocalyptic world. if abby and ellies story were chronological then i have no doubt this would have been a great game. not as perfect as the first but great, i only gave it a 3 for the graphics sound and programmers who put their heart into this while dealing with crunch time and dealing with a story this bad.… Expand

    You advertised with Joel and Ellie.
    Yet you want us to feel and love Abby?
    I don't need to know why she did it. I know, from that moment, she's firefly(not THAT doctor's daughter though)

    Playing as Abby first might make this less bad, but probably will raise other problems.

    The greatness of the first game, partly comes from the journey and experience, and you feel for the characters.
    But I have to force myself to progress through this game.

    I found the story to be well written, shocking, and emotional, with an EXTREMELY satisfying and mature conclusion that provides an excellent character arc for Ellie's story. As for the gameplay, I found it to be extremely rewarding and fun, with some of the best stealth combat I have seen for a very long time. Graphically, the game is stunning, with every single environment being gorgeous to look at, and at times, almost photo-realistic.

    My problems with the game were very few. Only experiencing one or two full on glitches throughout the game (clipping into walls), one or two seemingly broken tree textures, and a couple of wonky hit boxes on trees and fences blocking shots that should have hit. Were I to be forced to criticise the story, my only real suggestion would be to move some of the flashback sequences to the start of the game to provide some players a more streamlined bridge between the first and second games, and slightly more closure, although personally, I didn't find any fault with the ordering of the game.

    Overall, I think The Last of Us 2 is a brilliant game with an extremely satisfying story, interesting characters, fun and rewarding gameplay, and absolutely stunning graphics. I would highly recommend it to anyone.    … Expand

    Прекрасная игра, которая дарит по-настоящему много эмоций! Эта история действительно совсем не такая, как была в первой части, но от этого она не становится хуже. Произведение получилось очень личным авторским взглядом, который, безусловно, зайдет далеко не всем, и особенно не зайдет фанатам серии, у которых были свои ожидания от игры и особая привязанность к персонажем.

Произведение получилось очень личным авторским взглядом, который, безусловно, зайдет далеко не всем, и особенно не зайдет фанатам серии, у которых были свои ожидания от игры и особая привязанность к персонажем. Между тем, таких произведений очень не хватает взрослой аудитории геймеров, которые способы оценить его по достоинству. Большой респект за это Нотидогам и Нилу Дракману.

    P.S. Люди, которые ставят 0 из 10 делятся на два лагеря:
    1. Гомофобы, для которых волосатые подмышки у девушки в кадре вызывают нервный припадок
    2. Те, кто не могут принять происходящие события с ключевыми персонажами игры

    0 или 10, в данном случае, не показатель качества игры, а лишь показатель силы эмоций, которую испытали люди, игравшую в эту игру. Такая радикальная полярность мнений лишний раз свидетельствует о силе художественного произведения. Побольше бы таких игр.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. Perfect gameplay, perfect story and atmosphere. In my opinion, people cannot rate this game if they don't play it by themselves. And it's really sad for my to see so small rate for this game...

    A break of paradigm on interactive narrative. The game brings a deep take on hate and empathy, two of the most rellevant topics of contemporary society. Gameplay is dope also.

    It's a masterpiece. Just finished playing it, my gameplay lasted 39 hours. Never felt like this after any game, movie or book. I cried many hours and was in shock when the credits rolled. I understand why many people hate it, but like all good art people simply don't like everything. And this one is definetly not for kids. It's a game for adults.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Masterpiece. Part 1 is the best game of 2010's, Part 2 probably will be in the top-3 of the best games of 2020's. This is very dark and serious story, much less happier than Part 1. All negative reviews are based on a Joel's death and SJW-theme. Just ignore the sjw theme, relax and enjoy! I am little bit homophobic rasist myself, but I had a lot of deep and happy emotions playing this game because there is a lot of fantastic things that constantly surprise you. And of course TLOU2 is the best looking game in part of graphics and visual art.
    Give this game a chance. Because this game was made with pure deep love, you will feel it, I promise.    … Expand

    The Last of Us: Part II is definitely the best game I've ever played. From the first part they took all the best and added a bunch of new chips.

It will be pointless. You will not feel the effect as after passing the first and second parts together. As for me, the first and second part would be ideal to combine together, because it is a whole story that will cause you a storm of emotions if you penetrate it. The only thing I want to say about the plot is that the scriptwriters revealed each character, thereby forcing us, the players, to rethink the question once again: “where is the truth?”, “And who is right?” NaughtyDog created an amazing game. And I'm sure that the high bar that the developers set in the second part will be very difficult to surpass for many more years.… Expand

    A daring game that attempts to write a tragedy out of multiple perspectives. It is almost doomed to get mixed reviews trying to have you emphasize with both sides of a emotionally charged struggle, but I for one appreciate it.

A diverse cast delivers a compelling story that will stick with you, no matter what emotions you might have towards it, backed up by solid game mechanics. It is not perfect. Remodeling the classic dark revenge story that has the protagonist lose their good life in exchange for revenge on women has created something new in the mainstream, but it is not the most innovative choice. Overall, it is an experience that should be applauded, but it still has its shortcomings… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m a big admirer of this franchise, I’m a little disappointed by the plot that was waiting for another outcome, giving the new character of "Abby" more prominence than "Ellie", you really get tired of not wanting to know anything about this character and you don’t care at all, I always had the illusion of playing with Joel again but this didn’t happen, it is very easy to criticize and not take into account the sacrifice that it takes to achieve a delivery like this and in the same way I enjoyed it but as the first one never compares anymore… Expand

    Frankly speaking, I like this game. It's not the game most of us waited for, but it had to be done. Gameplay: i found it amusing and beautiful. It's more exciting than in the first part 9/10

    Story: i didn't like abby. That's why 8/10 but overall it's ok

    Graphics: love it or hate it, but the game is **** beautiful and the sceneries are gorgeus.

    There are many games that tell decent narratives. There are very few that tell narratives on par with series and films. The Last of Us Part 1 and 2 are the only games that reach this level in my own opinion.

Even if you don't like the direction the story went, the gameplay and graphics are incredible. I didn't see any bugs, the fighting mechanics were top notch, and the gunplay was unforgiving in the best way possible.

    I think there is a number of people who wanted to make decisions in the story themselves, and when our protagonists had the final say, the player found them to be poor choices. You may have loved these characters a lot and found yourself heartbroken over their decision making, but I think that means you never understood who they really were, who they have become, or their internal struggles in the first place.    … Expand

    Great game. Pushing the boundaries of storytelling in games and making it accessible to
    a much wider audience.
    And like any form of art that pushes boundaries, it will be met with hate and discomfort by it's consumers. But ultimately it will inspire other developers and game companies to match or raise that bar. Giving all the consumers more and better games in the future. To me,    Great game.

    To me, though the game wasn't pure overall perfection. But even in its flaws I could sense the immense passion of the creators and what they were trying to do. I therefore had a great experience playing the game.

    Don't listed to bad reviews written the same day of its launch (although the game is 25 hours long, so something don't fit). It is a really good game, the story maybe is a bit worse than the first game, but first game is a masterpiece and difficult to equal. I though of reviewing with a 8 or 9, but since this game neither deserves a 0, i will put a 10.

    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]
