    This game was a different experience altogether. The gameplay is amazing, the environment is beautiful and the story hits you right in the feels. The game is long by NaughtyDog standard but every passing minutes the gameplay gets intense and dark. The story slows down at towards the mid sections of the game but pace picks up back again soon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, after finishing this MASTERPIECE, yes I said MASTERPIECE, i've to say that is one of the best games ive ever played.
    Graphics 10/10, The game experience has improved a lot.
    Ive enjoyed the history so much, in my opinion everything is correct, the LGBT "inclusion" or the Ellie and Diba's romance doesn't disturbe our adventure through this game.
    I can understand people who hated the game cause the early death of our beloved Joel, and also can understand the bad opinions to Abby. I hated too Abby when she killed Joel but, I saw her like a nasty assassin, but when I played hours with her on the flashbacks, I started to enjoy Abby. She really have a very good history, I like her relation with Owen and the journey with Lev (I loved this boy). It's difficult to love Abby, but I lied if I say she is a bad character or she destroy the history, because that's false.
    The final with Ellie and Abby in that dark beach is awesome, very hard, plenty of emotions. I that point of the history, the revenge has already not sense, so i liked they stop to fight (but to be honest I prefered to kill Abby, Ellie is my Ellie).
    The final with Ellie in the farm is strange, she lost everything she had and wanted cause de revenge. The last image, Ellie leaving the Joel's guitar make us a little confused, but I think is something that we can suppose or try to imagine...
    The best way to discover this adventure is playing, not believing the false reviews of people who are scared of play with an homosexual girl as main character or play with a strong woman.
    For me is an incredible game.    … Expand

    Plain and simple: Great story, great graphics, great playability. People who criticize the story can only see the world in black and white and good guys vs bad guys. This game gives us a nice thought on the truth of human conflict. To the homophobic haters: get over yourselves. GREAT WORK NAUGHTY DOG. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ART TEAM! AMAZING JOB.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La verdad una tremenda decepción, el juego tenia todo para ser lo mejor de lo mejor, pero la cagaron con la historia, que termino siendo una historia de venganza pero sin venganza, mataron a Joel (un tipo que se peleó con medio país y más, super precavido y preparado para todo) como a un perro, un extra, encima por un grupo de peleles que ni siquiera tenían la mitad de experiencia que el ni todos juntos, pudieron darle una muerte acorde al tipo de personaje y la verdad no me parece un mal detonante de la trama pero la forma fue ridícula, metieron un montón de tramas paralelas que no suman absolutamente nada a la trama principal, nos obligan a usar una personaje que nos hacen odiar al comienzo de la historia haciendo su parte un disgusto enorme y encima debemos golpear a Ellie que es a quien queremos ver vengarse, no me importa la orientación sexual de los personajes ni la identidad de genero, es más personalmente seguía muy emocionado el romance de Ellie y Dina, Lev me desagradó pero no por ser transgénero pero si porque realmente sumó muy poco a la historia que deseábamos, la única que gana en todo esto es Abby y no Ellie quien seguimos desde el 2013, y aunque la lección sea buena y Ellie renuncia a su venganza igual lo pierde todo, no valió la pena para nada dejar todo eso.
    Los contenidos de inclusión en la narrativa la verdad no molestan pero tampoco suman para nada, por lo menos en este caso.
    En los aspectos técnicos es tremendamente bueno, nada para reclamar y mucho para felicitar, personalmente lo único a destacar, pero no bastó para retirar el trago amargo que deja este juego, juego que su fuerte siempre fue la historia y que si lo arruinan ahí siente que lo pierde todo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall this game is a masterpiece, well thought and constructed so that you can get two opposite points of of view. Honestly, If someone had told me I would be forced to play as Joel’s murderer for half the game I would’ve think it twice before playing. But I actually understood (trust me, I haven’t fully forgave her) Abby’s point of view and although it was a harsh experience, it was totally worth it.

    There were a few things I didn’t like, because... no game is without sin. But overall this game was awesome. Stop hating just because of Joel’s death. This game is so much more than that. The story is really powerful, gameplay is an awesome combination of all the things Naughty Dog has learned from the Uncharted series without losing the essence of The Last of Us. Thanks to the constant evolution of the storytelling it never gets boring. It really is a masterpiece and it deserves so much credit from the user's scores.    … Expand

With The Last Of Us Part II was no different, not for me or anyone else. For me, as i heard someone else saying on Youtube, it was not only an experience, but also a lifechanging event. As a fan of the franchise, I'm destroyed by the gruesome, hard, heartbreaking, true to itself storytelling. Every single chapter of the game was a necessary and pleaseable (in some weird way sometimes, got be honest). The mechanics, the script, the delivery of every single line was on point, and when I say on point I mean pure perfect understanding the possibilities and the story beeing told . Saying that, makes me completely saddened to see the mostly irrational backlash that the game and the creators are receiving, I believe a lot of that comes from a place of prejudice (like homophobia), and because of that I am truly grateful for the creators for beeing bold enough to do a realistic and inclusive and necessary game. As a female gamer, makes me enormously satisfied to see true representations of female characters and bodies, to see true wlw relationships beeing portrayed. So, for all of that and a lot that is not being told here, thank you. I wish I could express everything that I felt while playing it: the pain, the laugh, the tears, the fear, the love and another countless feelings that made me realised that this franchised has become one of my favorites of all time and this game occupying a special place in my heart.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s imagine there was NO part one of this game, we’re introduced to this new character Ellie who see’s her friend Joel getting killed and then sets on this journey to seek vengeance. We play as Ellie and then as Abby.. This game would probably get 8-8.5. It’s by no means a perfect game, but it’s fun, not too bad of a story, great graphics, fun combat. However, Playing this game after the original game is definitely a disappointment. We’ve already built a connection with Joel and Ellie, and now we see Joel getting killed and then Ellie losing everything at the end of the game AND on top of that have to play for 10 hours as the character the killed Joel and expecting us connect to her! It felt exhausting and pointless, I just didn’t care about Abby, no matter how many times I interacted with the dog or played as her when she was young or went to the hospital where her father was killed! I DID NOT CARE. SHE KILLED JOEL. I played through the original game at least 5 times, probably 10. I finished part 2 and will never touch it again, that sums up the difference between the experiences we go through. Considering all of the above, it’s still not fair to give the game a 2 or 3, it’s clearly a well done game (mostly) and that’s why it’s a 6 for me.… Expand

FLASHBACK "Ellie, you need to take revenge ..." - I need to take revenge, FLASHBACK "No, Ellie, there is no point in taking revenge" - yes, I do not need to take revenge. This can describe the whole game.

    Honestly, give me a month, I'll write twice as best on my knee.

    The gameplay is exactly the same. Nothing "incredible", "IMPOSSIBLE" is not here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was massively looking forward to this sequel for all of 7 years. The writing was trash, the game is supposed to be subversive and about conflicting empathy but the writing clearly doesn't understand the characters at all. If you were Ellie you would have killed Abby when you had the chance (Ellie wasn't forced to play as Abby like we were and has no reason to stop killing her in the end) because the way Joel died, with Ellie watching, would **** Ellie up for life... and the same goes for Abby, she would have killed Ellie both times she had the oppurtunity to, doesn't make sense that these characters just stopped hating one another at every crucial turn because Neil thinks the game is better than that lol. The game villainises Ellie in a way I despised, and forces/manipulates the audience to sympathise MORE with Abby. I did not wait 7 years for Abby's story, and even though Joel is a bad person I still like him a hell of a lot more than Abby, who killed him in true psychopath fashion. Every side character is barely developed, they are literally plot devices used to make the player feel awful about what the game forces you to do, pretty much every aspect of the game is there to give the same affect actually, the dogs are guilt trips, the way the random enemies called out generic names of their friends when they die like "Noooo, Mark!" to a point where I am face palming... the notes scattered around the world, having Ellie kill a visibly pregnant woman, beating a woman to death for protecting a friend, and finally the worst one that truly makes Ellie unforgivable is right near the end when Ellie threatens to kill Lev, who is a CHILD who has nothing to do with Ellie's revenge plot, also Ellie didn't chase Abby across hundreds of miles, to have a fair fight with her, the entire point is revenge!!! Like when Abby takes her revenge at the beginning of the game from Joel, she shoots him in the knee to disable him, has her friends pin him down, and then proceeds to beat him to death... so why the **** does Ellie threaten to kill Lev when Abby refuses to fight her in that final battle? Ellie isn't there for a fair fight, she wants to kill Abby! Why in the world, is Ellie letting Abby have any kind of an advantage in a fist fight, as they are both equally as exhausted and downtrodden and tortured as each other.... If I was after revenge, I wouldn't want a fair fight, if the person I hated more than anyone was refusing to fight me, not that I would ask for a fight, I would just kill them, in cold blood, and not give a **** like every npc Ellie and Abby kill without a thought before this point. And on that point, why did Ellie cut Abby down from the post on the beach where she was basically left to rot and die hanging on the post, again, if I was Ellie, I wouldn't untie Abby, I would kill her where she hung on the god damn post!!!! And further on this point, if I heard from a literal slaver, that my worst enemy, who I wanted dead was in slavery, I would be satisfied that they were recieving the punishment they deserved. It's not that Abby deserves to die like that either, it's that Ellie would want that because Joel was like a father to her, who would sacrifice himself for her, Joel would protect Ellie at all costs, always, no matter the consequences. Neil Druckman so clearly doesn't understand revenge, he's clearly never been abused or hurt unforgivably by someone that the message in his game ended up being that violence always leads to more pain, and is always bad, and that all people, even people framed initially as bad guys, are in fact people with feelings and relationships and they're all complex and deserve sympathy. I gotta say, not only do I think the writing was atrociously unbelievable, I also disagree strongly with the agenda of the game, with the idea that violence is always bad. People who have been abused by other people, the victims deserve and are entitled to hate their abusers and want them dead, or people who have loved ones who were abused or murdered or raped by someone, these victims are not wrong for wanting these awful people (no matter how complex the abusers are) dead and even to kill the abusers painfully, like how Abby killed Joel. The real life monsters of the world, rapists, murderers etc, their victims are entitled to wanting revenge or justice, and to hatred, and **** Neil for trying to say otherwise. The game is above all else completely hypocritical and pretentious as well as lacking empathy (while trying ironically to empathise lol) because while trying to tell the player that all the violence is bad and people are people, it also makes killing people in a violent brutal video-game, extremely fun. Why when Neil makes all his money off of gloriously violent video-games is he trying to say violence is bad and revenge is always bad, but then he goes and makes the combat so wonderfully fun? And he makes the awful violence so god damn gratuitous? Worst gaming experience I have ever had!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game has so many basics flaws that Im sick of it since minute 1, from the way joel dies cuz he seem unaware that he lives literaly in the end of the world and follows a random dude to a place where has ppl with weapons close to his town like, what the actual **** joel has been surviving for more than 20 years in this **** he is not stupid or easy to trick, he knows all the trick, he has done it him self, the problem here is, he sees a bunch of ppl and doesnt think about taking his revolver and aim at the head of that **** he just follows her like, nah this is safe, is like the meme with the guy on a house on fire saying this is fine.
    also the story is BULL**** is not deep is not amazing is not revealing it doesnt teach e moral, it does nothing but ****ing hit u in the face one time after another, they straight up LIED to us with the trailers they lied and lied and lied cuz they knew what they were doing would be bought by any fan cuz is trash, we have to go with a hatefull character half of the game and in every single moment we see how is EVIL is not a bad person, is not a damaged person, is a really evil person, roten to the bone, we see it many time when almost slaughters dima and saying better to the fact that she is pregnant after one of his friends died pregnant, but stops for a kid that has already seen a lot of detth by her hands, it makes so little sense y so many time, like, the first aera u actualy play out of tutorial is an open area with a map u lok for weapons its cool, the rest of the ****ing game its a corridor, why did u even put that in the first place, elie loses everything in this game, his father his friends his girlfriend almost everyone and everything, and we see how she gets ****ed every time she has to kill someone in a cutscene but doesnt budge while fcking behading ppl that doesnt even know, this is actually ****ed, at the end of the game we see how elie after losing 2 fingers by an abbys bite, after killing like 1000 ppl in total lets her go, just like that, she acknowledges that revenge is bad, thats the plot, the major problem of this game is the ****ing director, who thinks he is the smartest person in the world and only critics can understand games, and he can even see the bull**** he made, I will say this agane in case u u didnt pick it up already
    THIS GAME BAD DO NOT BUY EVEN WITH OTHERS PERSON MONEY NOT GOOD.
    thats as clear as I can make it,
    and if u think this game deserves a better rating, idk what to tell u, they lied to so many ppl, just for the sake of money, even their employees has been ****ed working for smth they wont get, this is fcked, and we all know uncharted 5 will be trash most likely cuz more than 50% of the ppl that works on ND is leaving after this project, they really tensed the string until they broke it.    … Expand

I will admit that for almost all of Abby's part, I was keeping her alive purely so I could slit her throat myself. Upon completing the game and actually *thinking* about it, I do sympathise with Abby. I don't forgive her, but the fact is Joel deserved what he got. I liked him, I still do, but just because he was your hero doesnt mean he isn't someone's villain. His luck ran out, and he brought about his own death. In saying that, though, I agree with him, I would do it all exactly the same way.… Expand

    The characters from the first game The Last of Us are completly gone and ruined. There is ZERO character development. The story is a complete piece of **** written by idiots. If you like to kill zombies you might enjoy this game.. just make sure to mute cutscenes and watch tv until you can start killing zombies again. Ignore the story completly, that way you can enjoy the mwah gameplay. Yes, the gameplay also sucks. Be ready to bash square with everything you encounter.

    The way they killed off Joel is onforgivable. It's fine that he dies, it's a harsh world. It's NOT fine to kill him off like a pig, afraid and covered in blood.

    The narrative for this game is just a mess. Tells a tale of two people who sought revenge. One of them seems to have no issues with it and is perfectly fine emotionally.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account just to review this game. That's how strongly I about it.

    Loved the first game. It was one of the all-time best. It was made great by the incredibly well crafted story with compelling character arcs. This sequel had none of that; NONE OF THAT. All of these reviewers writing about a great touchy-feely story with moral lessons must be children. In my opinion, it all came across as Hollywood readymade fluff made up of tired topes. I know that some people will summarily dismiss this review by calling me a trans/homophobe without countering any of the points I make. Ignore those people and really think about what I'm writing before you spend your hard earned money on this game.

    It was all sacrificed to push an LGBTQ agenda. Not a problem in itself, but it was done in a way that did nothing for the story. It would have taken five minutes to set the sexual orientation of the characters and then move on to writing a great story and characters. Instead, they completely destroyed the bleak and raw atmosphere of the first game. It also took away valuable time to create meaningful, and most of all, CONVINCING character arcs. You have to suspend a lot of disbelief in this version of a post apocalyptic world. It created a story that was disjointed at best. It made cut scenes feel excruciatingly long because of the framing of lesbian love and trans story lines injected into them with no real purpose to the story line or audience. I am not saying this because I am against those social norms. I would feel the same way if the game was trying to convince me to accept vegans, or omnivores for that matter. It would deter from the the experience of the game. Unless of course that was the intended purpose of the game...

    There are loooong video sequences with many wasted minutes dedicated solely to: a lesbian kiss at a party between two of the main characters, cueing up the overused stereotype of the redneck that stirs up trouble because of it, a conversation between Joel and Ellie about the incident, a love scene between the two females in a basement pot garden, and then the happy couple living on a farm in the country raising an infant. Then there's all of the other small moments of dialogue incidental to this narrative. I don't want to buy a game to get prosthelytized to ad-nauseum.
    You could easily cut hours of video and live sequences from the game with no sacrifice to the narrative.

    And then there's the rest of the cutscenes. There are a lot. If I wanted to watch a movie, that's what I would do; not play a game. There are long sections of play where you're just running through a dream sequence or reliving a memory. I guess some people might call this gameplay because you have to open a door or crouch through some meaningless action. It felt like they did this as an afterthought to give you "something" to do as a player. The farmhouse sequence is one of the worst. You get to walk around as part of the happy couple carrying a baby while herding goats into a barn. Yes, really, herding goats. I found this to be a total waste of time. I found myself wishing I could skip many sections of the game and just "get on with it."

    Finally, they rewrote Joel into a faint shadow of what you experience in the first game. This is a fatal flaw. He was easily one of the best characters ever to grace the world of fiction. He is why the first game was such a success. Instead of vigilant, shrewd ,and wise; he's unaware, weak, and dumb. Then, he gets killed before the game really even gets started. He gets killed and replaced by protagonists that aren't written anywhere close to level that Joel was.

    Way to go developers. You just killed one of the best games ever. Even the wooden sky bridges running through Seattle fifty-stories high made the game feel like a fantasy adventure instead of the dark world of the first game. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

    Oh yeah, let's not forget the original had one of the best endings in video game history. This sequel gets the title for "worst ending".    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game last week and I'm really disappointed with the story.

    Everyone on team Ellie is great.

    The problem is Abby. ND forces the player into Abby's perspective and tries to get the player to empathize with her. The problem is Abby is never confronted with her own atrocities. She starts off by brutally torture killing Joel. Given how popular Joel is with fans that's a lot of heat to introduce a new character with. To explain her actions ND reveals that Joel killed her father and Abby is consumed with revenge. Okay great, now why do I have to play this character for 10-12 hours as ND tries to humanize it and fails

    As a member of the Fireflies she would have taken part in bombing Fedra checkpoints. Then she joins the WLF and stays long enough to gain Isaac's trust committing untold violent acts. She clearly has no problem killing other people's fathers. Game completely sanitizes her WLF history. Instead she plays with dogs and jokes around with her friends. The storytelling is absolutely contrived.

    At one point she chooses to help some kids that become her allies to gain player sympathy. Contrived. For her big face turn she wastes her time by going on a mission to get a med kit for one of the kids. Then she chooses to leave the WLF by siding with these kids she has known for less than two days. Contrived. The choice between a "bad guy" group and kids is extremely cliche. She even kills WLF members she knows by name and presumably has known for years for these allies she has known for less than 2 days. Contrived. This all conveniently happens in the same 4 day period that Ellie is looking for Abby. Again Abby plays with dogs, helps random kids, goes on lifesaving med kit mission, and sides against her evil WLF group. But not once does the story mention the messed up stuff she would have been apart of just one week earlier as a high ranking WLF member. The whole thing is pointless contrived nonsense.

    To top it off the last mission is ridiculous. Ellie travels hundreds of miles on a rumor of an Abby sighting because Ellie is still haunted by visions of Joel. Ellie fights hordes of goons for her chance to finish Abby only to let Abby go at the last moment. Ellie kills hundreds of goons in this game, why would she suddenly care about one more? The story's themes do not match the game play at all.

    I do not recommend this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unrealistic, irrational, suspenseful, and non-dramatic. I have never seen a game that forces you to hate it like this game… Expand

    a genuinely bad game. the only parts I appreciated we're the flashbacks and any part that didn't involve the story.
    every part with Abby was just painful to look at. please if you love the last of us part 1 don't play this game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are a 10/10
    The soundtrack is a 11/10

    However, the story is a 5/10 for me. Ellie and Dina's relationship developed really nicely, I must say. However, Abby's introduction into the game is so meh. I couldn't connect with her character in any way. Joel's dying didn't even bother me. It was the way he died that felt so out of place.

    The game is also unnecessary long. The story keeps dragging and dragging for no reason. The writing is mediocre and at the end, the message of the story didn't even get conveyed properly.

    A lot of people bought the game for the story. So if the story isn't that good, what's the point?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing gameplay and graphics. The details in this game is insane and the facial animations in this game is on top. But the story was bad. Bad characters and bad writing. Also false advertising.… Expand

    To keep it simple if you hold any reverence for the characters in the first game or it's themes, don't go near this sequel. It retcons crucial elements of the first game and the characters are a shell of their former selves to serve as vehicles for a disjointed and muddled revenge plot.

    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]
