Joel dying in the beginning(dumb) and last but not least(you went all though that troublke just to not kill abby(DUMB!) The grpahics are the only thing good about this game and I won't give a point to that bc there is too many negative dumb things for that! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 2016 when this game was announced. Neil Drukmann (the writer) said that the relationship between Ellie and Joel was the most important thing to remember, he said "no one loves these characters as much as we did and the sequel would be about Ellie and Joel". He even said "he and the team had played games where you were other characters and they just didn't feel right, they pulled you from the main story"... "Part two will be about Ellie and Joels story and their relationship". And he told the truth, for about 7 hours anyway! Trouble is the game is about 25 hours long!

    Don't get me wrong, the Last of us Part 2 deliveres excellent gameplay, great graphics, music, mechanics and phenomenal gunplay. However, the storyline was an absolute mess.

    SPOILER... They kill a main character and some won't be happy... including me. Now It wasn't great, but I understand why they did it. Yes it was upsetting, but it was a great driver for every emotion Ellie had and her continued journey. But then (and this is the real kicker). You are then forced to play the game using the character that kills the main character mentioned earlier... for the majority of the game too. It make absolutely no sense. Add into this that the this character is a lifeless and utterly dislikeable character, made worse by her actions in killing one of the main characters.

    So the first part of the game (with Ellie) I thought was a 10/10. But the rest isn't enjoyable at all and you are left wondering when you will get to be Ellie again.

    Add into that the fact Naughty dog wanted to use the game as a platform to showcase every problem with LGBTQ issues in the world today. Again I have no issue with this being included in a game, but the sheer amount was too much. It ended up pulling you away from the main story and everything that made the first game so amazing and the platform it created.

    Also Naughty dog lied in the trailer by cutting in shots of Joel from the first game into the trailer to make people think they were going to play with Joel more and no mention of the twist that everyone hates!

    So at the end, after all the above. I haven't felt this cheated since the final season of Game of thrones!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is nowhere near the shadow of the prequel, the gameplay is fine and the graphics are fantastic.
    But, that someone who has played the original, can realize that the factors that made the first one a success are not present and if they are, they did not polish it well.
    Because history has the key: "revenge", constantly, they are saying that you have to take revenge against (spoiler) Abby for what she has done and does not even give the option to kill her. With the revenge key, it doesn't work in a game that was about surviving and seeing how Joel and Ellie went with their relationship.
    It is not a "haters" thing (if you are stuck in 2017), it is people who have played the game and realized that it had no similarity with the previous one. Also, does it not seem strange that the reviews will tell you a hundred in everything, when in their previous ratings they give great games between 80-90? It sounds to me like something happened to them.
    The only good thing that came out was the Gameplay, the graphics and even some flashbacks that Joel and Ellie had 2 years after the first one that expanded their relationship in a pleasant and not forced way as the rest of the story feels, I do not I import that they put things of the LGBT + with that at least that the history had been interesting, but outside, that not even that they could do well.

    Good visual, music. I think many people(who make 10 or 0 review) arent fair, because this game is middle, not best, not worst. Why? Because long tedious start and no choosing in the game. Authors forgot, about differences of game and movie, tv series. In game I want to give my part in the story, but tlou2 dont give it. Many fans didnt forgive Abby and me too.

    I'm not judging based on graphics or gameplay, just the story. The story is everything to me in a game because if I'm not happy with the story I'm not having a good time. This game ruined all of the enjoyment I received from the first game. Last of us 2 somehow managed to ruin 2 games with this one due to horrible writing.

    Well, The Last of Us Part II is not the most important game in the franchise, nor is it a revolutionary game at its base or in its gameplay. But everything he promised, he fulfills with wisdom and still being better than expected, such as: Beautiful graphics and full of details, as well as the effect of blood, animations, footprints in the mud, water, facial expressions, in the settingWell, The Last of Us Part II is not the most important game in the franchise, nor is it a revolutionary game at its base or in its gameplay. But everything he promised, he fulfills with wisdom and still being better than expected, such as: Beautiful graphics and full of details, as well as the effect of blood, animations, footprints in the mud, water, facial expressions, in the setting (giving the impression that this has really been abandoned for years). His story, which is actually very good, is also courageous, giving a great twist at the end, giving several life lessons and also approaching the point of view of some characters since in the game we control more than one character. It also brings striking scenes and emotions with very impactful deaths. Another thing I liked was that the game got bloodier and more realistic, addressing heavy topics (such as pregnancy, revenge, grief, loss and insanity). Speaking of gameplay, it is not very different from the first one and as I said up there "it is not revolutionary", but it still has some small improvements. Another positive point is that the places were more open, with stores with intensity that can help you. Containing parallel stories that even connect with events. The only thing that took some of my immersion out of the game was the artificial intelligence that is still kind of stupid compared to the first but that's it Besides, the game is incredible and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had in the gaming world.

    The graphics are good, as is the shooting, but the story and characters are terrible.
    after part 1, I thought that part 2 would be better at everything, but no. Only the graphics and the shooting, everything else got worse.
    Especially Abby, Is it just awful when we see a normal female ontagonist? Isn't that pumped up something with black armpits?

    In a world without Part 1 it's a solid 10. But this story… I don't know, I can't say it's perfect. Even at Ghost of Tsushima revenge story is better than here. But everything else is great. Visual part (not good in the beginning, but starts to shine later on), music, a lot of tiny details makes this game one of the best at this generation. But again, not perfect

    The game is all about forgiveness, and realising that maybe, you're not always correct and on the right side.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First things first, for me this is a 9 for reasons I'll explain later, but given the score bombing I feel compelled to give it a 10. By the way, if my English is not perfect, I am sorry, but it is not my first language. Well, what do I begin with? Graphics are great and the gameplay is pretty much the same from the original The Last of Us, which means that it is good. In my own experience, regarding the gameplay, I missed some diversity, because at some point killing infecteds and humans in stealthy mode got repetitive, but I must say that I never got bored. Having said this, let's go to the core of this game, the story.

    Some spoilers are coming up, so please do not read any further if you want to stay "virgin". The plot of the game is not too complicated and nor was the plot of the previous game. Joel and Ellie live in Jackson, where we left them at the end of The Last of Us, when a bunch of guys coming from who knows where, show up and kill Joel, apparently for something he did in the past although we do not know exactly the actual reason. These guys spared Elllie's life, but she decides to seek vengeance and follows Joel's brother, Tommy, who has already departed tracking the trail of Joel's murderers to Seattle. In this journey, she is accompanied by her girlfriend, Dina and, some time later, by a friend from Jackson called Jessie. And this is pretty much the first half of the game, Ellie, killing anyone on her way to the final executioner of Joel, a girl called Abby. During this fragment of the game we experience how Ellie grows darker and darker consumed by revenge and guilt. She feels guilty because, as we know through some flashbacks, she had a difficult relationship with Joel once she learned that he rescued her from the fireflies at the expense of the cure and the never reconciled afterwards. And the storytelling of the game would be horrible if the story stopped there, but it didn't. Once we finally find Abby, the game goes back in time and now we control Abby. We learn that she had some reasonable motives to kill Joel, basically he spoiled the cure and killed her father, and we find out that besides killing our beloved hero from the first game she is a pretty fine person. Actually, her quest is a story of redemption by saving the lives of two kids escaping from a dreary cult, the Seraphites, that is at war with Abby's group, WLF, and this will eventually make her fight against her own people.

    So by the end of the game we find Ellie and Abby wanting to kill each other while, we, as players, want exactly the opposite. We want Ellie to stop plunging into darkness and we want Abby to complete her quest of redemption by escorting the surviving Seraphite kid, Lev, to a safe place. And this is the magic of this game. In the first half they want us to seek for revenge and enjoy killing all of the people we find on our way. It is true that at some instances I did not want to be as cruel as the game wanted me to be, but I basically wanted to kill all of that people. But then, the game changes the perspective, now you play the role of your former victims and find that they are not the monsters you imagined, now you start to wonder whether what you have done is all right to the point that by the end of Abby's quest I just wanted to escape and avoid any killing if possible because I was fed up with so much violence. I no longer wanted to be part of it. And such feeling is only possible through videogames, a movie cannot make you feel the same since you are not playing the role of any character. This feeling, in my opinion, is the very core of the The Last of Us II experience and it was an experience that totally paid off.

    Regarding the polemic about gay characters.... Some people have a problem. I know that some recent movies and games are too focused on delivering a so called liberal message rather than telling a good story, but this is not the case. First, because, as I already explained, this is a good story and second because the sexual orientation of some characters is anecdotal and completely irrelevant for what the creators are trying to tell us. I mean, of course, you can create a great work focused on this topic, but this was not even the intention in this game. Ellie being gay is irrelevant for the story and if you have a problem with her being gay it is your problem not the game's.

    In conclusion, I do recommend this game, maybe it is not perfect and maybe its message will not reach every player with the same force it reached me, but if it does, you will really enjoy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece, and I don't have words to express my feelings about the entire experience I've during the story. Half of the community hated the game only because of Joel's death, forgetting about the cruel word they live and ANY character can possibly die from many ways. Besides that, the game itself is dark and I understand the feeling of "It should not be ended in this way", but there's no way to bring Joel back, making the decision of revenge a stupid action, since Abby is trying to redeem herself by saving Lev, being stopped by the tenacity of Ellie when she remember about Joel. Nobody is a "hero" in this world, you need to pay attention to all the details in this game to understand this. For example: All NPCs have names and their friends and allies have interaction with their deaths; You can see the peaceful vision that Abby have about this world, turning against the Wolves and saving two Scars from their death. She don't want to be part of a meaningless genocide of people that are trying to survive against the Infected. The conflict between Wolves and Scars only resulted in several deaths of innocents, like the chase of Ellie to kill Abby, killing a pregnant woman and his boyfriend. To understand the feeling of the game, you need to feel empathy for Abby, because her dad was killed by Joel, making him the villain of HER story. We interact with two stories at same time, and no one wins in the ending, making Ellie alone. The LGBT details in the map are kinda random, but it doesn't matter to the story after all, and the part o Lev being a trans man to avoid the situation of many womans in their tribe is very impactful, showing hope for kindness and love aside hate and death towards their people.

The more open world structure encourages exploration & allows each encounter to be approached using a variety of different strategies. This is a massive game, twice the length of the 1st with stunningly realistic & crazy detailed graphics, & that very natural character dialogue & mo-cap facial expressions which we come to expect from ND. My only criticism was that certain sections of the game felt a bit long & stretched out, leaving me exhausted & hoping for a bit of reprieve. Though it’s likely this was their intention. One of the best analogies I’ve heard comparing each game is that the 1st ends with hope on the surface but a sense of misery underneath whereas this ends with misery on the surface but a sense of hope underneath. Just as part 1 was to PS 3, this game is the very best of this gen of consoles, it has excellent replay value & will stay in your heart & mind long after you finish it. Expand

    Im so very shocked of the negative comments. I enjoyed the game from beginning to the end. One of most best games I ever player and I was in it like a rollercoaster.

The story blends in the gameplay and thats how you feel the story telling even better than in most recent games. The music is so well done and the acting the is nothing like this in any game. You can really feel the characters emotions. Most games its just gameplay and than simple cheap acting story momentsabd back to gameplay again but here it blends in while your playing and offcourse there a longer cut scenes. I love how you can feel a different between playing against humans or the creatures. Sometimes it feels repetitive but lets be honest here what game doesn’t ? But because of the change of area’s, characters, story you stay in the game and the story. I can understand that a lot of people don’t agree with the choices in the story. I kinda like what they did with the characters to play both sides and kinda understand why someone acts like that. I find it sad that the comments are negative like this cause that means future developers not gonna take a risk like this. And we will get the same basic simple Standaard storyline, Hero vs Bad guy But this is all my opinion and I respect everyone’s opinion. I loved it and hope the will keep on making games like this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty dog did the insane thing of making us almost puke in revulsion and horror at the loss of Joel. But every step of the way showed us how we can have two perspectives of the same story. I hated the way it ended. It left me sleepless and in agony about the choices we were forced to make. The game had interesting and updated battles and sections over last of us. But we weren't there for the gameplay even if it was good.. We were here for the difficult ride and I'm glad I did. Expand

I don't get any of the complaints about the game being ruined by SJWs — and I'm one of the ones who thought Rian Johnson's SJW masterpiece Episode VIII was a pile of hot garbage, even if it succeeded in subverting my expectations of an enjoyable sci-fi action film.

    There's no trans character either, what on earth is anyone talking about? Yeah Abby is pretty buff and has masculine features, but it's by no means outlandish, I mean Ellie is buff as hell too, she's just petite. I mean, just look at actual women around you some day. She's very realistic looking, unlike the disaster character models in, say, Bioware or Bethesda games. Ellie being a lesbian was already in TLOU1's expansion, and since they ripped off Ellen Page's likeness, who came out as a lesbian after the first game came out, it doesn't seem particularly out of place or agenda-pushing to have that included in this game since it's about a what, 18-20 year old protagonist? It's not like it's a particularly important element of the game either, so if that offends you, that's kind of ironic since it makes -you- the little snowflake.

    Yes Ellie is the main character of the story and not Joel, that's not a surprise, literally all the promotional material for years was saying this would be Ellie's story. I found all the dialogue and characters' actions to be internally consistent and rational. Yes their actions are often kind of stupid and emotionally-driven, but that makes perfect sense for the setting.

    Kind of suspicious how many of the 0 star reviews came out on Jun 19 or 20 considering it takes at least 20 hours to beat it even if you're speeding through on easy.

This one on the other hand is far from, for example you spend about 8-11 hours playing as Abby (the so called woman who killed Joel at the start of the game) but it’s not just that, the story doesn’t really do much to develop characters apart from occcadional flashbacks with young Ellie and Joel. This games graphics are absolutely amazing and the sound design is impeccable but that doesn’t excuse the fact that the story neeeded much more time in the oven. Overall I would wait to buy it when the price goes down and be prepared for great graphics, gameplay but also be prepared for a shoddy story. Expand

    Isn’t this what we all search for? Why we read books or play games? To be immersed in a good story?(and i don’t mean happy ending kind of story - you can watch cartoons or read summer romance books if you are after that) A story, the way the author envisioned it, might not go the way we want it always but we need to appreciate a masterpiece! You will not regret playing this game or spending money on it. Even if just for the amazing life-like scenery created by the graphics engine. The story is made so it stirs emotions in you, and it will not let you down either.
    I do suggest you do not rush this game. I believe a huge portion of the reviews were rushed in a frenzy to be the first ones to comment and review it. Enjoy the game, it’s not made to be a competition of who finishes it faster. Give yourself time to process the emotions that you will feel through the story. You are mad because the story didn’t go your way, or happy because it did - pause it for a few hours, go enjoy the feelings this amazing game can stir in you! Don’t drink it all in one go like some cheap wine getting drunk and blaming your hangover on it. This game is like a great wine that is better drank with moderation to be able to fully savor the taste and emotions.

    PS: if you are emotionally unstable and insecure about your manhood that a female only protagonist can cause such rage and hatred maybe you have bigger problems in your life than worrying about a game. Just saying.

No me malinterpreten, a mi también me molestó, pero no por eso le daré una nota que no corresponde. Porque la parte de ella si es importante para la historia y para lo que nos querían mostrar, tiene un montón de riquezas que no puedo obviar. Aunque igualmente soy partidario de que lo que nos mostraron con Abby, pudo haber sido perfectamente desarrollado con Ellie. Eso es lo que más me molesto, porque yo quería jugar con Ellie, quería que ella fuera mi protagonista, que ella sea la que recuerde en un futuro, y casi me dejo llevar por esos sentimientos, ya que al terminar el juego, no le daba mas de un 7, pero al ver las cosas en frío y al intentar reflexionar sobre todos los tópicos que nos quisieron mostrar, me di cuenta que la nota es de por lo menos un 9. Yo no soy ningún sabio como para hacer una mega reflexión, si no que es algo que puede hacer cualquiera, y al hacer eso, me di cuenta de todas las riquezas que tiene este juego al abrir por completo su envoltorio. Luego de terminar el juego, siento que la percepción de este cambia para mejor, por todo lo que ya dije. Ya para finalizar, yo venía a colocarle un 9, pero al ver la nota que tenía me sorprendí, y siento que tiene un montón de notas bajas que son injustas, porque de verdad, lo mínimo que se le puede colocar a este juego es un 7 si es que no te gusto la narrativa o la historia, porque en todo lo otro es sin duda un sobresaliente, es por eso que dejo mi 10, como un poco para compensar lo injusto que fueron algunos con este juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best game I have ever played, the graphics are amazing, the animations and realism of the gameplay are just mind-blowing, the combat system, dodging, the AI, it's just tremendous. However, almost everyone didn't seem to like the story. I believe it is because they didn't understand it as it actually is.

    Most people hate it because Joel dies and Ellie doesn't kill Abby. First of all, every human being dies at some point, people have to accept that, also the average life expectancy in the US is around 72 years, so obviously in a post-apocalyptic world, the average life expectancy would lower down a lot, which means Joel was supposed to die around his age. My point is even if Abby didn't exist, Joel was anyway gonna die (plus characters always wonder if they're going to die from old age, because it is very improbable).

    In addition, the fact that the predecessor's doctor NPC was Abby's father, doesn't mean it's the only reason Joel was killed, Abby wasn't alone on her quest for vengeance, everyone wanted him dead because he made the worst decision ever made in the entire world (literally). About Ellie not killing Abby at the end, there are many reasons. 1- Ellie couldn't sleep anymore, she always had the memory of Joel dying, she couldn't even hunt (this is when the birthday gift part becomes important, when she finds the boar in the museum). So she went to Santa Barbara and when she's going to kill her, she finally remembers Joel playing the guitar, Ellie finally calmed her consciousness and stopped thinking about him only because of the fact that he died, but because of how he was. Then, she realizes there's no point on keep destroying that woman, so she lets her go.

    2- (This is my personal interpretation) Ellie didn't kill Abby because she saw herself in Lev, she knew that by killing Abby, she would be, in a way, killing Joel.
    The game makes you not only understand that Abigail is a good person, but to comprehend the Mother figure she is to Lev. She was there when he losed his mom, she was there when he loses his sister and his home, she understood he wanted to be a boy, she all he had, and he was all she had too (after losing the love of her life, his girlfriend + future son + dog, her friend group and her home, the WLF).
    So Ellie realized she was the villain of the story, and allowed her to leave with Lev.

    I also wanted to emphasize the fact that, in the beginning of the game, when you just get to know Abby, after killing Joel, she gave me that feeling I got when I argued with my dad, that threatening sensation that would send shivers down my spine, I would cringe with my arms to the sound of her voice, I was totally scared (you can see that when she asks Ellie to toss her weapon and she does it while shaking). Even in the Tracking Lessons chapter when she throws a stone to her father, I could feel that fear even though she was a child there, but when I got to know her better through her gameplay, that disappeared, I had totally empathized with her. There are people who say they didn't stop seeing her as a villain (I thought that myself) but you actually do, you just don't realize it in the process.

    I personally believe this game recquires a high level of maturity and analysis to understand, as a big percentage of the gamer community is conformed by underage people (or even 10 year old children), it is probable that the majority don't get to comprehend it. Nevertheless, this game is still one of the greatest games ever made, I would call it "The ‘Pulp Fiction’ of games".

The story is compelling throughout and the game, sound design, writing, and everything in between are outstanding! Way to go Naughty Dog in my eyes you have made yet another 10/10 game!


    !!SPOILERS!!



    Everyone is hating on the death of one character but the whole premise of the game is revenge without the death what reason would there be for any of the events in the game.

    I get everyone loves the character and I do too but I think the game does real justice to that character by paying tribute to them with thew flashback bits.

    Honest opinion: the death scene wasn't the best they could have put up a bit more of a fight but that is my only criticism everything else is spot on. Seriously Naughty Dog 10/10 what an epic

    Middle of the game is unnecessarily drawn out and storytelling while amazing could have been more impactful with at least some player agency. Excellent game otherwise start to finish.

    Great gameplay. Great graphics. Great story. Naughty Dog have done it yet again. Can’t believe I let the leaks get to me because the final act completely made sense. Game of the year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game unfortunately tried to re-write the first game... not for the better.

    Ellie was the best part of this game.

    Joel's death and showing him as a trusting person who is willing to help others is not true to his character and this game ruined everything that was great about the first one.

    I cant help but feel this game was more about virtue signalling then paying respect to the gamers who waiting years for this sequel.

    If I could give this a lower score I would.

The problem is not the coldness and cruelty of that world, but the lack of purpose. Revenge for revenge is lost in this. There is no nobility or overcoming or an honorable quest and ascension. There is only the stupidity of two protagonists fighting each other in a bloody moral degradation. Understand: There is no use for technical excellence in an empty background. A game that leaves nothing at the end besides a bitter taste in the mouth and nothing to renew hope. They lost the chance to do something historic in order to be realistic. There are thousands of examples of descent overcoming, with self-knowledge and psychological maturity. Expand

Games are an escape, a piece of entertainment to be enjoyed, especially as they can be a huge time investment compared to watching a movie for example. So while I get that not all stories need to be happy, or end nicely, a game needs to have an enjoyable story, and this game's story simply isn't fun or satisfying in a very deliberate manner. So while it's a shame you'll miss out on the graphics and gameplay of this game, the story will likely sour the experience to such a point that would make the overall experience really not worth it. You have been warned, proceed at your own peril. Expand

    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]
