    You can't buy me.
    This game is a living statement that money doesn’t solve all problems. Graphics? Great.truly impressive. story? Trash. Character development? Trash. Character Relationship development? Trash. Gameplay? Straight out of 2013.
    And honestly.. all these game critics who gave this game 10/10, are shooting themselves in the foot

    Amazing game! Dark, gritty and very realistic. It sets a very high standard in gameplay, story and visuals. It stuck with me, I can't stop thinking and discussing and going over small details that blew me away. A complete masterpiece and a very worthy continuation of Ellie's story.

    Incredible game. The story was hard to accept but once you take the emotion out of it, it’s not hard to see the ambition of Naughty Dog’s gameplay decisions were an incredible risk that payed off.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metacritic is blocking bad reviews for this game... Ive been trying to leave my HONEST review here which is a 3/10 but they won't allow it. So here it is, with a better number because I want people to read this... Naughty dog has fallen very low with this one! you can't silence people, we pay for your game and we deserve to have an opinion. What a disgusting company.

    Here's my original review 3/10
    I was truly hoping the leaks were not entirely true, and I was right, they were not even close. It turned out the game is WORST. Yes, the graphics are amazing... yes, the character modeling is breathtaking, the textures, scenarios, and the gameplay are great and fun.. if you dont care about the story then this game might be one of the best yet. But honestly, the last of us has ALWAYS been about the STORY and the CHARACTERS... how they grow together and share a caotic world. Not how they go around murdering each other and changing everything you came to love when playing the first part.

    What they did to them and the story itself is UNFORGIVEABLE.
    Also, most of the last trailers they showed were 100% misleading, showing Joel interacting with Ellie in several occasions, looking older as if it was happening at the time and it was all a LIE. All of the conversations they had were "memories" and "flashbacks". They actually went into the game after it was done and changed Joel's appearance for the trailers to make us believe it was new footage and cinematics of the game, and on the ACTUAL game is different, Joel is young and that is not happening in real time of the game. So dissapointing, you thought no one would notice? Why are you trying to fool your own FANS???

    If you plan to buy this game, wait a couple of months when people actually see it for what it is, and it goes to the ground and they sell it for $9.99. Don't waste $60!!!! and if possible, do not give your money to this disgusting company that only lies and cares about tricking fans into buying something is not even worth it, while striking down honest working youtubers for even mentioning the name of the game, just to try to avoid people from finding out what a bad game this was going to be.

    This is another "cool loking" 3rd person shooter game with a LAME story. nothing more.

    I Loved this game; since I first played it, it's been on mind when I've not been playing it. Only this game and the first Last of Us had me feeling like this before about a video game. I've never cared so much about protagonists in a game before, the only other that comes some what close is Arthur Morgan is RDR2. Thank you, Naughty Dog for this masterpiece. Please continue to be bold and brave in your story telling. You have set the standard again. Please keep doing what you're doing!

    I can only assume people who have review bombed and left incredibly low rated reviews are A) XBox fanboys, B) Fans of other titles that they consider to be the greatest game of all time and do not want TLOU getting that kind of recognition again, C) a combination of both. Note, I'm saying the 'incredibly low ratings' - people can dislike and like different things and that is fine, but the 0's - 4's truly have some weird ulterior motive - if you are looking at reviews to help you decidee, then you can rightfully ignore them. I will say this as well about metacritic - how many of these reviews are verified? 4.5 stars currently on the PS store - those will be ratings from verified purchases.

    As for what may be genuine negative reviews... I've seen a few complaints about *spoiler* not enough Joel and Ellie time and the ending because it wasn't a happy fairytale story - I can't help but audibly lol the world the game is set in and even the real world is not some happy fairytale.

    As well as complaints about playing as Abby - I must admit, early on, I was really not happy about this, but after completing the game, I think this was brilliant from ND. The world is not black and white, Good and evil, there's different shades of grey. Joel was a bad person after Sarah - that much was made clear by Tommy in the 1st game, Tommy talks about having nightmares from their time together. There was a vaccine that would help heal the world. Joel, although most of us would do the same, if given an in game option to do so may I add, stopped that and saved Ellie! Whilst we love Ellie, it's the selfish and wrong thing to do. He killed innocent people. What we do in the game as Ellie is seek revenge, which is exactly what Abby and her crew did... but instead she let Tommy and Ellie live - Joel kills the surgeon, Abby's Dad and Marlene. The game does a brilliant job of not making that crew come across as just some generic evil bad guys, rather we see them as a part of a community much like Jackson... something else that I thought was good was the crew didn't even know Ellie was after them - they thought she was a Scar/seraphite as that's who they were in conflict with. Abby has some redemption with Yara and Lev and her and Lev's relationship felt some what similar to Joel and Ellie, thrown together through bad circumstances. Before Santa Monica I found myself wanting Ellie to stay at the Farmhouse, although I was happy to get more gameplay, because I knew she may end up alone, which is what she feared most. I think I know Joel would not want her to get revenge, but instead to live happily and peacefully with Dina and JJ.. Ellie however is suffering from PTSD. She cannot stop thinking about Joel.

    One thing I may have changed was perhaps maybe play as Abby more before seeing Joel killed, but at the same time, although the most obvious reason why, it was good to find out along the way.

    I've sadly also heard people are upset that Ellie is gay and Lev is a trans - to those people, grow up.

GET OVER YOURSELVES YOU HYPOCRITICAL BIGOTS, IT'S A GAME FFS! Reading some of the "reviews" on this site shows how many racist,sexist and clearly delusional bigots class themselves as gamers. I feel ashamed to be even associated with them.

    I've now completed the game after a 32 hour rollercoaster ride ride of emotions and have just started a NG+ run to try and pick up as much as I can as I know I missed quite a bit due to hitting gates areas or scripted sections early.

    From an objective point of view the game is a smooth 10/10 from the gameplay, the graphics, the sound as well as the characters. There is little room for other opinions, I think.

    The story is...something else. I didn't like the story here and there unconditionally, also the ending left me rather empty. Still, it has to be said that I really enjoy the game and I think that's what matters. If you didn't like the story here and there and therefore you think the game deserves 0 points, that's something you have to decide for yourself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Прошел The Last of Us Part II
    Это история вызывает у меня такое отвращение, что даже печаль. От бесцеремонной смерти персонажа, которого я полюбил, в первой части. Это так отвратительно даже писать, что я даже не могу, что это заставило меня плакать, как будто на самом деле это заставило меня плакать и злиться. И про что вообще 2 часть ? НИ О ЧЕМ.
    Вы просто играли с моими нервами и слезами. Просто НЕ ДО МЕСТИ. Элли не отомстила смерти Джоэла, Элли потеряла все.... Феминистки, трансгендеры, лгбт-движуха все это высер, который выводит на эмоции.
    Так засрать игру, это надо постараться. Представьте себе, что вы играете более 40 часов геймплея для этой концовки. Ну вот пример Red Dead Redemption 2. Только представьте себе, что Джон Марстон пощадил Мику Белла, а потом пошел домой и стал играть на гитаре....Даже Death Stranding был гораздо лучший конец, чем один из нас часть 2. Даже сериал каратель 1 и 2 сезон финал был шикарный. Во там настоящая месть а не один из нас часть 2.
    Даже God of War III Кратос убивает всех богов на своем пути вплоть до Зевса только для того, чтобы понять, что его месть завершилась разрушением мира.
    А Один из нас 2 Элли убивает всех на своем пути, но не убивает Эбби аххахаахах. Какой позор
    Если кто-то хочет играть в игру, которая делает темное повествование превосходно, я бы рекомендовал Spec Ops: The Line

    И эта игра получила 10/10 ? - А ? Нет ! Еще раз нет !
    Эта игра заслуживает 6/10, потому что да, эта игра выглядит хорошо, играется хорошо, и вы все еще убиваете кучу придурков Эбби. Но как произведение искусства это просто чистый мусор, ужасный сюжет для ужасного конца, Джоэл умер за убийство невинного, но его дочь Сара тоже была невинна.

    Итог :
    Знайте...Я 2 часть ждал максимум на подобии Война миров Z с концовкой тоже. Итоги 2 часть про недо-месть и насилие.....Это просто ни о чём...

You don't introduce a new character, let her get saved by Joel, who is well established and one of the two most beloved characters, then let the new character murder him in the most horrific way possible. And as if that wasn't already enough, you make me play as her, to then try and kill the the other established and most beloved character.

    My only sliver of hope was that Ellie makes it back home and atleast lives happily ever after with Dina and JJ, but naaah, you had to take that from her, too.
    Then to throw ghostpeppers on the wounds you already just threw salt on, you render her unable to play the song that Joel made for her and show us how she goes into the woods before rolling the credits, like she's about to off herself.

    I will never ever again buy a game that Neil Druckman had anything to do with. Dude is f'd up in his head...

    I wish I could forget this game and just have the ending of the first one in mind.

    I have never wanted to get my money back as badly as with this game. Because even though there were games from EA and Ubisoft, that made me feel robbed, they never emotionally scared me like the piece of garbage that is The Last of Us 2!

Only thing that falls short is it’s weak narrative that fails to deliver on certain themes the game brings up and puts certain plot points all over the place. with even some characters acting completely out of place from there prequel counter part.

The whole plot, and Joel's death being the spotlight of it, was just a huge shock value **** show, in which tragic events take place to our beloved heroes of the previous game just so can feel shocked and sad. Very cheap way to attract emotion. If you are fan of the original The Last Of Us, do yourself a favor and never buy this game. Matter of fact, delete it from your memory. It is just not worth it.

    My experience playing this game starts out very strong and during the first 15 hours or so I thought for sure I was going to play a New Game+ right after finishing it. Unfortunately the performance drops off substantially after about the halfway mark.
    Ironically the Story is the weakest point of the game. It starts out compelling enough but the decline is steep and steady right until the ending which is criminally unsatisfying. I don´t care about any of the new characters and none of them even come close to Joel and Ellie from the first part.
    The game looks amazing and the gameplay is actually very fun. I enjoyed exploring the vast areas of the game, collecting resources, crafting and modding my weapons. The changes to the combat system are minor but sensible. The battles are tense, action packed and brutal.
    The Last of Us Part II is not a bad game. I enjoyed playing it and even though the story, the supposed heart and soul of the game, was a sad caricature of the original, I still finished it within a few days and couldn´t lay off the controller. So I can´t honestly rate this game too badly.

    If you´re new to the series or don´t really care about it you´re going to have a good time with it, just wait until it´s on sale. But if you´re like me and you love the first game, Part II will leave you with an overwhelming feeling of disappointment.
    I don´t think I will ever replay this game.

Do I wish the story had been told differently? For some parts, yes. Joel is, and will always be, my favourite to control.

    Playing as Abby allowed us to get another POV, which was needed. We saw the reason they acted as they did, and their motivation. It gave depth to what could have been a one dimensional villain.

    I enjoyed my play through, and yes there are issues at times with the story telling, it was still a solid game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This story doesn't even follow a revenge is bad narrative. It seems to be just a story of random events happening that we're supposed to care for because of the work in character development from the first game.

    Abby got her revenge, showed no remorse for her murders, then got to sail off into the sunset and start a new better life after killing Joel and a bunch of her own people.

    Ellie had absolutely nothing to do with the decisions Joel made killing fireflies, she's just trying to give justice to Abby from her POV. Ellie showed remorse and was traumatized by her actions. Yet in the end it's Ellie who loses everything.

    La muerte de Joel, es el punto de partida, no es una mala decision sin embargo el jugar con abby como protagonista con el intento de empatizar con esta, hace perder totalmente la esencia del juego por el que 7 años se espero. Ademas tiene muchos bugs.

    As with any review, it is personal opinion but I cannot understand what the negative reviews are about. Naughty Dog have done exactly what was required to make this game an exceptional sequel to a masterpiece. The first game was an example of how game making of a single player should be done to really captivate the audience. This has now been followed up with another rollercoaster ride of emotion and enjoyment.
    As previously mentioned, the first game was an absolute masterpiece so as with any masterpiece you don't mess around with it. Naughty Dog have picked up where they left off and made small enhancements along the way. The fighting mechanics are now more agile and has you less worried about having your face ripped apart. The stealth aspects have been worked on to allow you to conserve your ammo but still eliminate the enemy effectively. This is not an open world game but you can still roam relatively freely to explore and scavenge supplies.
    The whole point of a game is to provide entertainment and enjoyment to the player. The Last of Us 2 does exactly that and takes you on another epic journey. The negative reviews are an insult to those that have created something very special.

Like in MGS series and FF, you have very strong and powerful characters, you see your favorite characters change from good to evil, from evil to good etc. But I never felt like forced to play those games, here I felt like turning off my console so many times.

    Lastima que echaron a perder a uno de los personajes más queridos de esta forma. El final no me gustó, se sabe que la venganza trae más venganza pero Ellie recorrió tanto para vengarse y al final no lo hace? Ok, tiene sus razones para cambiar su forma de pensar, o simplemente no hubiera ido al final a pelearse con ella para que la deje suelta. Y por sus malas acciones llegó a perder a Dina, que en vez de quedarse con ella se fue a lo difícil. El juego, en sentido de gráficos, detalles, animaciones está excelente y me encanta el trabajo que hizo Naughty Dog, lo único que falló fue en su historia. Espero próximamente una parte 3 de esta saga, y espero que sea la última para darle fin a esta historia.

When I played as the main antagonist it just didn't feel right I guess you could say and the message just didn't sit well. Abby was kind of contradicting herself at points also. Overall just graphics were amazing and so was the gameplay had a lot of fun playing through it. Now the ending was I have no idea just so many questions and the fact that Ellie lost so many things close to her and everyone basically loses. I get the message you could say that life isn't fair nothing goes as planned but I thought it could of been planned a lot better. Plus all the questions I had where are Dina and JJ? Is Ellie going back to Jackson? Are they still together? Will Ellie still have nightmares?

When I played the game and saw how they made Joel/Tommy go against their characters, by telling these people where they live and their names when they do not know these people at all. The way Abby just kills Joel when at this point the player has no idea who Abby makes her insufferable. All the work they do to try and make her sympathetic does nothing. At the end of the game, I agree with Ellies's decision to still go after Abby cause 'it can't all be for nothing'. It does not make sense that she would almost just let Abby go, she had just killed a man to get information on where Abby is. The ending is inconsistent with Ellie's character, as the entire game she has been killing people to try and get to Abby, and it is stupid she did not just shoot her in the head. Ellie's ending is bad and she does not even get revenge if she had just killed her straight away all that would be different is she would still have 10 fingers. A waste of £160. Collapse Expand

    First off I have to say the graphics alone give this game at least a decent score. the mechanics and smoothness of transitioning from one animation to the next again add to a very positive experience. The combat feels super satisfying (besides killing dogs :(( ) and downright impressive. These three things; graphics, mechanics, and combat alone baffle me at why people would give the game anything below a 7.

    Story (no spoilers):
    The big issue people are having with the game is the story. I enjoyed the story a lot. I understand why Abby was so mad and I understood why Joel was so trusting. I understand why Ellie was so stubborn and why the ending was the way it was. Honestly I thought the ending was way to long until the actual very end when I finally understood why naughty dog drew it out. The game left me laughing, yelling, screaming, swearing (with OH $#!T Moments). I ran through the game in three days and I'm definitely going to play it again once a patch comes out for the new console.

    My reasons for why it got an 8 and not 10:
    1) Almost all the missions are pretty similar. Go from point A to point B and kill hunters/zombies on the way. I would have really liked the game to change up some of the missions. Having every mission feel the same left me feeling fatigued at times.
    2) Partner AI. There were many times during my play through when whoever I was with on a mission would either completely block me from evading an enemy, or just downright be visible while I'm sneaking. The second issue doesn't actually effect game play but it does pull me out of the immersion a little considering I'm prone in the grass next to a hunter and my partner is crouched just chilling in the open.
    3) Looting. There is so much looting you have to do if you play the game on moderate difficulty or harder. Basically a 3rd of the game is opening drawers. some times I just wanna blast through enemies. I think a solve to this problem would be cheats for once you beat the game so you can replay a mission fully stacked with unlimited ammo.. That sounds really fun.

    Summary:
    All in all I loved the game and was thoroughly impressed. They brought next gen to current consoles and I think they deserve props for that. The story of revenge claws its way through the game and makes you feel empathetic for both leading characters.

    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.
