    Great game, amazing graphics and game play. The story is great but it is not designed to please fans, it makes you feel vulnerable and in a real feeling of danger like if any of the characters can die any moment.

    Great play, naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ellie regresa como protagonista y se profundiza a detalle en sus relaciones interpersonales, de pareja y con su defectuosa figura paterna. El viaje que tomará es introspectivo, pues conocerá fragmentos de su pasado que cambiaron la perspectiva de quienes la rodean. Se trata de un ejercicio narrativo efectivo ya que no se siente que se haya traicionado la esencia de los personajes principales. Para lograr lo anterior, las actuaciones de Troy Baker y Ashley Johnson son realmente encomiables porque aportan una enorme dosis de humanidad a lo que se ve en pantalla. Ashley es, sin duda, quien se roba el show gracias a una actuación estelar que refleja de forma humana los diferentes matices en cada faceta del personaje de Ellie. Baker, por su parte, retrata a un hombre agotado que carga con demasiado en la espalda y quien busca la redención en una de las personas que más estima en la vida y que, incluso, ama incondicionalmente. En ambos casos, las caracterizaciones son estelares y dignas de todo elogio imaginable.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over all I gave it a 2.

    I was so mad when I started to write this review I was going to give it a 0 but to be fair the graphics are fantastic, but that is about all I can say good about the game.

    I will be completely honest, I have not yet completed the game but I know how it ends from the many reviews I have read. Knowing the ending of a story does not spoil the experience for me so I often read spoilers on games and movies and still enjoy them.
    I doubt the ending will bother me as much as it seems to have bothered everyone else but I will not know that till i get there, If i get there, there are so many other things to hate about this game I don't know if I will even bother finishing it

    The game mechanics are stale at best and frustrating most of the time There is no real improvement over the first game, the crafting system is almost identical and in some ways worse. I was always full of supplies with the exception of 1 item. sometime it was tape, sometimes it was alcohol but you can bet it was always something just way to scarce on every level. It was the same with ammo.

    I get it you have to be smart with your supplies to make it thru a level but if that is what they were going for they failed, you don't have to be smart with supplies. you just have to know what they are going to be shorting you on any given level and don't use it, you will have plenty of something else to get you thru. What is the plan there? is it supposed to be fun to fail at a level and replay it once you know what supplies they will give you? it does not force you to come up with a strategy to get thru just get lucky or replay after you have the answer.

    The Infected are not hard to fight, just time consuming, the bosses on the other hand are ridiculous, for me at least it is more about luck then skill to beat them, run around and hammer them with whatever you find till they die. again no real strategy there just try try again till you find what you need to kill them.

    And for god's sake could you please continue more than 1 second before you are killed. I mean come on, If i learn i need pipe bombs or the flame thrower to kill it why cant i restart the fight with the knowledge i learned while it just killed me. No, continue smash, no time to re adjust you setup, just right back in it. They don't really let you play your own way. I like to play stealth as much as possible but you are forced to run and gun so much. they have the leveling system set up as if you can play thru the game in different ways but you really can not. you have to stealth where you have to, and you have to Rambo it in other places. no real choice.

    I fairly deep into the second 1/2 of the game ,or so I assume based on what I know, and the one thing i can tell you is who ever was in charge of character development should be brought in for a performance review.
    in truth it is not fair to blame 1 person, everyone had to know this game would be hated by the "Last of US" fans, the story and characters are so bad, no one at naughty dog could have miss it. (naughty dog in lower case on purpose, you guys and gals have a lot of work to do if you want to get a "N" and "D" from me again anytime soon). It is sad, the first game was so good, it seems improbable that the second one could be so bad.

    I played the "Last Of Us" several time. I would go back to find more hidden items or just relive the story. everyone you met in the first game had depth. you felt that the character was pulled from someones real life event or felling, It was not just Joel and Ellie, everyone in the game felt real, you loved some people, you hated others, but everyone had a reason for who they were.

    Last of Us Part II could not have been worst.
    I don't care about anyone in this game. I don't even hate anyone, It is hard to love or hate the flat cardboard cutouts they are calling characters
    Joel and Ellie are flat, there is just nothing there, if it was not for the 1st game I would not care about them either.

    Everyone else in the game is as deep and the letter or number I assume they were assigned in the story outline they should have just named them all 1.2.3 or a.b.c. There is just nothing there.

    On the up side if you cant write a good story you can always cram some woke character traits into your characters so you can call everyone a "phobe" or "hater" if they complain. making a character gay or trans is not the same as making a character real or deep, it is just a cheat,

    Before you send the woke police after me, I have nothing against gay, bi, trans or anyone for that matter (I am sorry if I forgot to mention a group everyone is loved and respected
    I hope I used all the right words to describe people in this section. everyone should be who they are and is respected as a person not for their pronoun.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really scared of playing this game. I already knew 3 key parts of the story before playing. I knew Joel would die very quickly, I knew I would have to play as Abby for 10 hours and I knew at the end I couldn’t even kill Abby. These three things alone are enough of a reason to scare anyone or to rate this game a 0, however, it just doesn’t matter when combined with the entire experience. Now I am not saying this game is perfect, but certainly doesn’t deserve the hate it has been receiving. Yes, watching Joel die in that way sucks and after finishing the game I still wonder if it was the correct way to end the story of such beloved character. But putting yourself in the mindset, you understand why naughty dog decided to make this, you really feel like Ellie and that motivation keeps you going. Even if I knew I would be playing as Abby, I didn’t know when, so when it happened, at first my motivation to play as Abby was to just arrive at that critical point, but as I kept playing, my motivation changed dramatically and I ended up enjoying a lot the entire Abby section to the point I realized y deeply cared for this characters that I just murdered some hours before. The gameplay, although very similar to the first, I found it very enjoyable and really fun, the graphics and score are just perfect, but what really surprises me is the number of balls a developer needs in order to craft and present a story like this one. I ended up absolutely loving this game and has been on my mind for weeks now, it is truly a devastating, epic, sad, funny, and just a piece of art that anyone should experience. I repeat that yes it is devastating to play this game but in the end, it feels with it. 10/10… Expand

    Esta es una historia para todo tipo de personas, por supuesto que muchas personas lo odian y respeto eso. Pero sin duda es una continuación más que digna y justificada de la anterior, donde profundizamos la relación con Ellie y Joel.
    No quiero dar spoilers, pero si realmente entiendes de filosofía y literatura, el final con el que nos deja es un claro ejemplo de como llevar una historia a su límite. El final es una simbologia total de la relación que Ellie no pudo arreglar a tiempo con Joel, hasta que al final, por fin puede perdonarse a si misma, esa es la razón por la qué no mata a Abby.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is far from perfect, but it is the sequel that TLOU deserved. Well, first of all I don't even know what to say about the graphics and the gameplay, it is simply the perfect evolution of what the first game had created. The amount of animations made for the combat and all the little features that were added, like the silencer, are breathtaking and make the gameplay feel dynamic and as fluid as ever, and therefore making one of the best 3rd person games ever (gameplay wise). Naughty dog really nailed the techinical aspect, but now the story...

    I don't think that this game has a bad story, not at all, it has the best premise that a TLOU sequel can get, taking one of the main characters and making him pay for all the stuff he made in the first game is simply the only plausible motivation that would make Ellie seek revenge at any cost. But I agree that the way in which they did it was pretty bad, I get that the TLOU world is cruel and that death is always around the corner, but it's f*cking Joel. I don't think that Joel deserved that miserable death, maybe he could've sacrificed himself for Tommy or something like that, because it really made him look weak.

    As I said, I truly don't think that the story is bad, I just think that it is poorly told. I really appreciate the ambition of ND by making us see all the sides of the story, because after all, the last of us is a game about people, and not about Joel and Ellie. But they sure as hell shouldn't expect us to be happy by making us wait more than 10 hours to progress Ellie's story. I simply don't get why they needed to add 2 campaigns that are so long, maybe they could've made 1 day with Ellie and then 1 day with Abby so that we don't get so tired of expecting Ellie's story to come back. It would have the same effect that the devs intended, we kill everybody that day with Ellie and then see Abby's point of view of who they really are, instead of killing them and only seeing who they really are 15 hours later.

    People aren't complaining about the game because of the LGBT characters or the strong women in this game, it's just that the structure and pacing are horrible, and even though Abby's story is very interesting there's always that background thought wondering about what is going to happen with Tommy and Ellie that never goes away and that doesn't let us us enjoy Abby's plot as much as we should've. This isn't the game that we wanted, but it is the game that made sense as a sequel, I would give it 7.5 but since there isn't an option, I'm giving it an 8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have absolutely no issues with the choices around representation. I think it’s a bad game - not that fun to play, repeating similar sequences from the first one to try to boost unearned empathy for Abby. I felt condescended to and scolded for having invested in Joel and Ellie. It sucks - the first game ended on such a beautiful note of ambivalence. This made me want to stop playing games altogether. Regardless of that, it’s clear the reviews were bought and paid for, and the positive Twitter response smells strongly of astroturf. I liked playing some bits - take away all the cinematics and forget it’s meant to be a Last of Us sequel and you have an ok game. But as it is, it stinks of pretension and lack of respect for the audience.… Expand

They turned Ellie into an absolute killing monster that murders hundreds upon hundreds of people, but in the end she just gave up doing the one thing she was set out to do. This kind of character development makes no sense. Abby is also so poorly portrayed that I just can’t feel for her for the things that she did to Joel.

The game is visually stunning and it’s sound design has outdone itself and I think part 2s soundtrack might be better then part 1s. The gameplay takes from the original and expands upon it with more customization and a bigger focus on stealth. The game feels so scrappy like your getting through by the skin in your teeth which creates so much tensions and immerses you in the experience. As for the story, Its so ambitious, really challenging the player to feel conflicted with the playable characters and the decisions their making. The game both expands on Joel and ellies relationship and introduces new characters that are charming and complicated creating very an emotionally heart wrenching and tense experience in which the game asks you to have empathy for everyone and that no ones a hero in this story. It’s a tale of loss, grief, violence, Forgiveness, empathy, hate and love and it will certainly stick with me for a long time. this game is not for everyone so I recommend you go into it with an open mind and maybe just maybe you will see the genius among the madness. is not… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If people didn’t get to play the first game, then this game’s story wouldn’t feel too horrible since you won’t have a reference point or any emotional connection to the lead characters. It’s such a tremendous let-down because the first game set such a high bar story-telling wise.

    The first game conveniently used McCarthy’s The Road as an “inspiration”, this game’s original story ends up ironically exposing how inadequate Neil Druckmann actually is as a story-teller.

    There are plenty of argument out there already discussing why the story is bad so I won’t dive into details but let me point to the obvious one here - how do you expect the audience to care about the characters in the 2nd half when you already *spoiler* all of them in the first?

    To be perfectly clear, I’ve got nothing against *spoiler* getting killed. The critical flaw lies in the story’s structure itself - when you can’t connect to the characters and the audience stopped caring, the 2nd half of the game felt so long and patronizing. Every single plot point felt so contrived and worked too hard seemingly trying to “influence” the choices you have no power to make in the first place.

    An easy fix would be giving this game multiple endings based on the moral choices you had to make, which shouldn’t be too hard, I’ll be happy to take just two endings - to kill or not to kill.

    On supporting characters - I don't necessarily agree you can just dismiss them. We see plenty of examples how supporting characters can truly shine and be memorable. Even in the first game - beyond Joel and Ellie’s bonding dynamic - the supporting encounters put flesh on the bone making the whole story and the world so much richer and more dimensional. If the second game is about diversity and inclusion (which I’m rooting for) Neil’s paper-thin characters really became piss-takes. Major major failure here (again, due to that stupid structure)

    On Ellie/Abby’s arc - this is exactly why I felt this game is so patronizing. *Spoiler* gets killed 30 mins into the game and you already know this is revenge story, there’s no more explanation needed for what the writer is trying to say here. Secondly if the cathartic release is about turning Abby into a likable character - it’ll have to take more than a full game to do that. She *spoiler* the lead character for FS! It took us 40 hours in the whole first game to love Joel/Ellie in the first place.

    Another case in point for Game of Thrones fans here - after the Red Wedding, how long did it take us to like Jamie Lannister? The whole entire f*&king show. And it’ll be much harder to tell Neil Druckmann’s 2nd part without the support of secondary characters, again. Hence it’s so arrogant for Neil Druckmann to assume players will buy into his BS and have a satisfying ending.

    End of the day, a good ending is NOT decided by who gets killed who gets to live, it is whether or not it is SATISFYING. I’d even go further to say that it is the storytellers RESPONSIBILITY to make it satisfying. At the end of Breaking Bad, Walter White dies - but it still is the one of the most satisfying and celebrated ending of all time. Now that’s a good story.

    I really hope that they replace Neil Druckmann with a fresh better writer to do the next game, otherwise there’s no way I’m buying his crap again.    … Expand

    The best part of this game is the introduction of what will undoubtedly be a classic video game character: Abby...whatever her last name turned out to be. She's the most accurate depiction of a video game heroine that I've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of her, and I'm hoping to see more of her in the future.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dived into this game with caution after reading some general comments on social media. I took my time to play it and enjoy it and I am glad that I did it with an open mind. This is one of the best narratives I've seen in a videogame,

    Calling this a "revenge story" is diminishing what this game tries to portray, those gamers hating the game because they make you play as Abby are exactly what the developers wanted. To feel the anger of pain of losing a father, but then understanding the path to forgiveness and acceptance.

    If you got mad at Joel's death, felt Anger towards Abby, wanted her to die as much as Ellie did, the the game suceeded and deserves all the praise in the world. However, if at the end of the game you got mad because the plot of revenge never came to an end, then you might have beaten the game, but failed at what the story was trying to portray.

    The only reason why this game is not a 10 IMO is because the gameplay loop is a little bit boring (just as the first one) and because I really didn't enjoy the setting of the last chapter.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. THIS GAME IS A MASTERPIECE, I mean i don’t know what to say really, the game is as close to perfect in my eyes, the story arc and just character development is A1, mainly because at the start of the game i wanted to see Abby get killed just as much as the next guy, but i never would of thought but by the end i felt sorry for her, she lost her dad to Joel, that is enough reason to go after him, let alone him being the reason the vaccine will never be created. She lost all of her friends, she lost everything, except for Lev. Surely thats worse than death. I also think the end of Ellie’s story was heartbreaking but perfect, there’s still hope for her imo, she learned that at times you gotta learn to not let your emotions get the best of you, to me and the end she’s going back to Jackson to possibly fix her relationship with Tommy, Dina etc. but thats me thinking positively, we’ll see if they do a part III. Also the gameplay is **** great, that **** is brutal and i love it, graphics are obviously incredible, cant wait for multiplayer, whenever that comes out. Overall its literally a perfect sequel, not quite as good at the original, but its so damn close.… Expand

Also, the length of the game felt very refreshing, especially after 3-4 hours of Resident Evil 3 remake that left me frustrated.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to start. I guess to give my opinion on the whole "killing characters" controversy. Having Joel die is fine, honestly. The writers clearly wanted to have that as the main driving point of the story and for the spotlight to be on Ellie rather than Joel.

    The story-telling as a whole was poorly structured. I liked the flashbacks of moments that have relevance in character development. Although I feel like there should have been more mystery. Maybe not open with the previous game's main character dying. Like I said, it's fine he did, but maybe give the players a moment to get back into the game, the story, the franchise and reconnect with the characters. That way, the death would have made much more impact on the audience.

    Okay. Onto the worst part - Abby. Just... why? Why the **** do we play as the main antagonist? Half the game was spent playing as her and I hated every single moment of it. Remove her parts, and you've got a pretty good (but still not great) game.

    Keeping on the Abby subject but also going back to the story's structure, if you want us to care about a newly introduced character, maybe develop their character BEFORE you show their bad side? It's clear they wanted us to care about her otherwise we wouldn't have seen so much of her personal relationships, such as that with Owen.

    If anything, they should have made us play Abby's parts either before Ellie's parts, or play each character day by day. Playing as Abby and having radio calls about an event you later play through as Ellie would have been really interesting. Also, don't leave us on a ****ing cliffhanger with Abby finding Ellie, Dina, Tommy and Jesse at the theater to then play the second half of the game. When that happened I was so ****ing frustrated and just wanted to know what happens. If they brought both character's story-lines to that point simultaneously - that would've been great. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of players stopped playing when it got to Abby's half of the game. The only thing driving me through her parts was wanting to know what happens, I didn't give a **** what was actually happening DURING Abby's parts.

    The gameplay overall was fine. It kept to the tried and true gameplay of the first game. I appreciated the fact they didn't try to change the formula to something completely unrecognisable from the first game.

    The graphics and environments were incredible.

    Overall, fine game. Enjoyable for half of it, emotional ending (though not as emotional as the ending of the first). I feel like they could have done a much better job with the story they had if they just structured it a bit better.    … Expand

    Obviously this game doesn't deserve 0/10 nor 10/10. But after i finished it i felt only relieve that this is over. Poorly written characters, stupid desitions that they make, this is not what you expect from tlou. Story has potential, but it doesn't work. Work of a crew - 10/10, writing - -10/10 and since metacritic deleting 0/10 reviews like it did with my last one, my score is 1/10.

The story is poorly executed and full of plot holes. The characters that we've waited 7 years for are shadows of their former selves and act idiotically. I feel mislead by false advertising, I bought this game for a story about Ellie and Joel, a story about revenge. I play as another character for half the game that I despised for brutally torturing and murdering my favorite character 2 hours into the game. How an earth was this approved of. The second half of the game was a drag and suffered from some of the worst pacing issues I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. What also made the original game so special were the side characters, how they were all stellar in their own unique ways. They truly were a gift, I can name every single one of them and remember why I liked them years later for how impressionable they were. Every single one of the new characters lacked depth, I just didn't care and by the time you start growing any connection to them they all are maimed or die. What in the hell were they thinking skipping the 4 years we actually were interested in. They rely so much on shock value and shoving a message down your throat that they sacrificed a well thought out streamlined plot with phenomenal character development which is why most people loved the 1st game. I just felt nothing for these characters. At every moment I see violence is bad. look here abby collects coins, there's two sides to every story, I DON'T CARE. Look you killed Abby's dog now go play fetch with it. I DON'T CARE. It's so manipulative. Look she's pregnant, dead. Feel bad, Ellie bad after Ellie ACTUALLY kills her in self defense. Look at what you've become, let abby live, PISS OFF. After everything I don't even get to kill Abby the psycho who feels no regret after anything she did, at least Ellie was questioning herself, shaking and puking. In the words of the pregnant lady "You're a piece of **** Abby". Shooting someone who save you with a shotgun and hitting them with a golf club, shooting children, sleeping with people in relationships, being so great at killing you're one of the highest members of the WLF.
    She got revenge and got away with Lev, Ellie doesn't get revenge losing everything. Miserable game, It's the death of the franchise for many. It already needs to be remade. I've never felt so disappointed with a game ever. I've never felt the need to review a game until this one.

    Beutiful and well made, the writing ain't perfect, but damn if it isn't powerful and good. I'd say if you loved the first one, you'll love the second just as much, if your willing to take a more bleak story

    I wrote a review but the mobile site is a night mare. Here is the gist, the only time you will feel the same emotions you did from the first game is when Joel, Elle and Tommy are involved, which is very minimal. We know and love these characters and know what they have been trough together.

    I went in expecting the worst based off the spoilers and general negativity surrounding the game.

    After finishing it, its clear that the negativity stems mostly from the anger of those that havent actually played the game. It is awesome. It hurts, its painful, its heartbreaking and its art.

Through breathtaking graphics and Naughty Dog’s painstaking attention to detail as well as excellent performances across the cast The Last Of Us receives a worthy sequel with a powerful message that leaves me thinking about it day after day. The game takes on the cycle of hate and the destruction left in it’s wake. “I don’t think I can ever forgive you for that. But I’d like to try”.… Expand

    A história traz uma relação entre amor e ódio entre os personagens, trata de de uma história de vingança que faz você se imergir totalmente no enredo, é de longe uma das melhores histórias e gameplay, com todos os aspectos já conhecidos, mas aplicados perfeitamente, não tenho palavras pra expressar o quanto esse jogo mexe com a cabeça do jogador.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rate games with three rules
    Does it have good graphics
    +3 points
    Does it have good story +3 points
    And was the game fun
    +3 points
    Also if they all apply then i add +1 more point

    So i believe the game only had good graphics but the story runs along and kinda memes itself out buy forcibly making weird decision on every important scene of the game like were i forcibly have to kiss the girl when there clearly was another love interest for Ellie and he had to die without anyone even caring nobody talked about him since and he was a caring guy that never had a girlfriend either in his life (assumably) and also the the part were i have to fight abby and i really wanted to kill her **** ass but Ellie was like “i have nothing to lose so i might as well let abby get what she wants and let her live so maybe one day she can Possibly do this to another family in return” also all the love/sex scenes were cringey because both the main kiss scenes were too intense to even watch
    I understand niel druckman being an sjw but walking dead did it perfectly it gave us a choice to decide weather clementine liked a guy or a girl and i think ellie should have ended up with jesse not amy


    Joels death: this was hard to watch i wasnt even crying i was plainly pissed off I hate when sjw type of Directers do this **** they always try to split the audience and have them argue a lot about how good the game is or not how about you plainly make it good for everyone and do what you promised you said Joel and Ellie would continue to maintain their relationship with each other and Joel's death didn’t have to be on the first hour of the game
    They could have let joel at least say his final goodbye and then I probably would have cried but no they just kill him out of nowhere and if theyd let him say goodbye to her at the scene it would have made the game more impactful but no they decided to golf club his head with no warning and ellie turned into the worst character when she let she let abby get away if i was her and had common sense i would have grabbed the gun from the backpack and shot her ass before she got away or her little friend so she would see my pain The graphics were pretty good though but with the terrible common sense it kinda made the graphics look a little bad but then again im rating story and graphics diffrently so good graphics Terrible story +0

    Somewhat fun gameplay+1

    And good graphics+3

    If only i was given a choice to do all these things though like the first game was somewhat acceptional but the second game wasn't the mood so id rather choose what my character does rather then forcibly doing stupid **** in this game Here are my conclusions


    Jesse should have been a love interest for ellie otherwise dont create him just so he can die like that

    Amy was so ugly and boring to be a love interest

    Abby should Not have been taking steroids because of how rare they are in the apocalypse Ellie should have been given choices along the way On playing the game


    joel shouldnt have died like that he should have atleast said something memerable before he died and not “yall sound like yall know us or something”



    Chain of violence is stupid because it will eventually end weather or not you use violence or not


    We should have had choices for us personally and not the developers wanting


    That hispanic guy is an insult to my race because he spat on joel and i loved his character (Joel's)



    ellie should have killed abby as well at the end


    I dont support weed and we caught ellie smoking it with another person and they end up making out also the graphics were really good but facial expressions were Kinda ugly Call of duty did its sequel good why didnt you

    Atleast give us choices even if joels death was inevitable i just believe that this game was produced in 2 years but the 7 years later they just act like we are not gonna overestimate it and think it was a good game but it was overestimated and it was way too overestimated 2020 sucks for me at this point dont be mad if people commit suicide because of ghis game being so ass

    Have a wonderful day and try to have a good life in the future if possible Peace    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a tremendous achievement by Naughty Dog with the Last of Us Part II. Improving on the gameplay from Part I and amping up the cinematic elements has created one of the great swan songs of the generation.

    While not quite as good aa the first game, there are many elements to this game that eclipse the first game. Larger environments, more playstyle options, interesting lore, and the continued emphasis on environmental storytelling means players get their money's worth. The game would be a 7 or 8 alone based on those elements.

    The much maligned story isn't perfect, particularly with pacing. Naughty Dog would have been better suited re-arranging the days of Abby and Ellie to match up. Playing as Abby for the extended period of time was a nice touch, I just didn't like the placement in the game as much. We get to experience the life of someone who is really not so different from Ellie. In a different world, they may have even been friends. The interesting part of the story is that there truly isn't a "good guy" and "bad guy". Both characters are deeply flawed while also being very redeemable. Even up to the very end I was not sure who I wanted to live or die, and that's a testament to the writing and voice acting.

    One other minor issue that makes this game a 9 instead of a 10 is that the game is perhaps 5 to 6 hours too long. This game would have benefitted from a slightly shorter playthrough to make it a more toght experience, but it's nowhere near the level of egregious as a game like Red Dead Redemption 2 in which the entire island sequence could have been cut out and the story would have been unaffected. These minor critiques aside, I highly recommend playing through this game. Its engaging gameplay and story about how revenge and hatred can consume a person's life make for an enjoyable experience that should not be missed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I first want to say this, I am not homophobic. But y’all seriously needed to chill on the agenda thing. Naughty Dog, you Practically destroyed all the male characters, and not because they’re male, but because we’ve, as a community, have come to know and love these people; Cough cough- JOEL AND TOMMY oh and Glen from TWD. And then we get to see Abby, whose ridiculously huge, and I say this is ridiculous not because there’s anything wrong with a buff woman, but because IN THE MIDDLE OF AN APOCALYPSE YOU HAVE A WOMAN WHOSE BUILT LIKE A TRAIN. Doesn’t make sense. How is she this huge? What, does she have a stash of steroids or something? Kinda silly if you think about it. It’s just forced. The whole girl power thing is just forced and people hate it..because it cost our beloved characters to get the boot. Idc what agenda you put in a game as long as it works and your not shoving it down my throat. In reality nobody cares. People play games to escape reality. And look....all great heroes have an end, I don’t mind Joel dying, it’s the way you killed him you fool. Neil, man...you told us back in 2016 that the main focus of this game was JOEL AND ELLIE. You lied and decided to bring She-Hulk into the mix. And then you’re gonna try to play with our emotions, trying to make us feel sorry for this chick after what she did, and what she continues to do throughout the story. I’m sorry but a lot of us don’t have enough empathy for her, even after we find out the plot twist. That’s just my story review. However is the story-telling bad? No. It’s not a bad story. It works. But for a hardcore Last of Us fan, it’s not gonna pass. You literally took away the heart and soul of the game. For a newcomer however, they’d most likely like the game. Gameplay as always is AMAZING, that’s really the only thing I reallyyyyt love.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS: This game is absolutely unique, there's nothing else like it out there.

    I love the fact that you play from the perspective of the villain, it helps you realise that in this world they are all villains and they become so for protecting or avenging the people they love by killing thousands of enemies all with their own backstories.

    This feels like an entirely different experience and a standalone game, not a sequel.

    I was upset and surprised when I saw the way Joel died and how you play with the character who killed him throughout the entire game, but I like the fact that the developers went for a different reaction, it’s something new and it’s well delivered. The only issue I have with the plot is how Ellie and Tommy are left alive deliberately, that feels unlikely given how all the characters have dealt with similar scenarios in the first game. They should have come up with something external interrupting their execution, such as a horde invasion or an explosion, rather than being left alive deliberately with the opportunity of taking revenge.

    The acting is incredible, the characters development and backstory is detailed and deep without giving away too much so that you can find out more information for yourself by exploring the open world and collecting intel.
    The graphics are stunning, it’s an open world that improves on the experience of the first game. The action mechanics are incredible.

    I understand people are attached to the characters of the first game and if we were given an option for multiple endings and plot developments we would have gone a different route (maybe that’s what’s missing, multiple choices, multiple endings) but I don’t understand why so many people are being crybabies about it.
    This game takes you though a journey of forgiveness showing how obsession and revenge destroy everything in its path.

    Compared to what’s out there, it’s easily the best game this year and one of the greatest games in history.

    p.s.
    I would give it an 8 but I am giving it a 10 to counterbalance the basement trolls giving it a 0 just because if they see gay people in a story they automatically start with: "It'S aN aGeNda oF tHe SjW MaInStReAm MeDiA, I jUsT wAnTeD tO kIlL pEoPlE wItH JoEl CaUsE hE's A dUdE aNd I'm A dUdE, If My ChArAcHtEr iSn'T a StRaIgHt DuDe I cAn'T rElAtE, AnYoNe dIfFeReNt FrOm mYsElF mAkEs Me UnCoMfOrTaBlE", grow the f#### up.    … Expand

    無可諱言，畫面、氛圍的表現恰到好處，或波瀾壯闊或婉約惆悵。
    然而，遊玩上單調重複，鮮少變化，在20小時往上的時長來說過於乏味。
    劇情上，人物行為缺乏可信的邏輯，轉變生硬，並且使人心生厭惡，是也奇作。

    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]
