    Most interesting storytelling I've experienced in a game since, well, the first one. ND actually took risks with this(what gamers constantly demand from studios, but **** when it doesn't jerk them off exactly how they want). Experience it for yourself with an open mind and you'll find it to be one of the most compelling and immersive games in years, just don't expect it to hold your hand.Most interesting storytelling I've experienced in a game since, well, the first one.

    Gameplay is top notch. If you liked the first game, it's similar with lots of improvements on movement, melee combat and AI.

    Graphics are of course gorgeous. Worth playing just to explore all the environments.

    Sound, had to add. Probably best sound mixing I've heard in a game, it's so good. Play with good headphones.

    They ruined the beautiful story they set up in the first game! They should’ve never made a sequel if they were going to literally slap all of their fans straight into the face with that plot, if you loved the first game I recommend not playing this one as it will ruined your great memories you have on the first game. Very disappointed at what was delivered!

My only complaint is that there is no tutorial, I mean there is but, it’s kind of like hints on how to do things and you just have to figure it out after.

    Even worse thing is that the game developer actually says they want to deal with some kind of justice and revenge, so they make this story on purpose. OMG.
    The truth? They didn't know the concept of Justice.
    Hey, you guys must go to any college and take some class about any justice.
    They must be thinking TWISTED story AND stimulating content, or some kind of thing someone never ever have done makes masterpiece, but you guys are wrong.
    Guys, you can wonder how the story flow, But you can't enjoy it if you are a ordinary person.
    So, DON'T PLAY THIS GAME FOR YOUR MENTAL CARE, especially you were the fan of 1.
    I want to sue the game company for my mental damage.
    I will never play Naughty Dog's game again. DISAPPOINTED!

    Also: Lesbians exist! If i have to watch Geralt have sex with three different women in one game y'all can sit through Ellie kissing a girl ffs. For a group of people who likes to scream "triggered!" at every given opportunity you seem to be triggered a lot by that.

    Think about what you guys with unjustifiable criticisms and scores are doing. It's clear that the user's scores don't reflect the quality of the game, it doesn't make any sense. First of all, this is unacceptable, it's a shame. This game launched yesterday and at the moment of the launch, the game was already 4000 negative scores. I can tell you for sure the people who put that score (for the time of launch) doesn't finish the game so this is stupid. I saw a comment here and I make those words mine. The game it's so big, I started playing yesterday and I haven't even reached the middle yet so that number of negative score its just to put the game down. truly not the best game of ps4 for me but it's definitely one of the bests games of this generation (all time) and doesn't make sense the 0 scores. So don't judge the game because some **** are talking **** please play the game and form your own opinion. Everybody can talk but remember the last word it's yours. Go without fear, go without hearing nothing. Go play that masterpiece. And for you who follow the people who haven't played the game, the people who saw videos on the internet stop, stop being this stupid. You're not kid anymore,
    stop saying and encourage people not to play and for you who didn't finish the game because of some things you don't agree with, finish the game just as I'm doing and then form an opinion ... tired of people talking without having experienced just to affect someone negatively. Know that this is the wrongest way of doing things in this world. grow upstop saying and encourage people not to play and for you who didn’t finish the game because of some things you don’t agree with, finish the game just as I’m doing and then form an opinion... tired of people talking without having experimented just to affect someone negatively.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. visually stunning yes, but everything that made the game so good is gone. the story makes no sense, ellie's charming, witty personality is nowhere to be seen, the writing is weak and, at times, even cringy. what made this such a masterpiece and joy to play was joel's and ellie's dynamic. k*lling him within the first 2 hours makes absolutely no sense, and naughty dog wasn't capable of at least creating a new character that had a dynamic with ellie just as good as joel's so the whole game just died. and the moral of the story is mind boggling... spontaneous forgiveness after hundreds of kills to push the idea that "revenge is bad"? i really can't figure out what was naughty dog's goal with this. the gameplay is pretty much the same as the first game, with some tweaks here and there, but really nothing new. again, it is absolutely beautiful to look at and runs super smooth but what does it matter if i get to the end of it and i feel like i've just wasted 20+ hours playing it? disappointing at best.

Lo mejor en gráficos de ps4, una jugabilidad increíble, una historia dura, cruel, triste, pero buenísima, en lo único que puedo criticar del juego es que este nos obligaba a golpear con abby a ellie y pues eso dolía porque ellie es nuestro personaje principal y al que queremos, dolía cada golpe que le dábamos con abby ya que esta casi la mata . Y en cuanto al final, lo encontré muy bueno pero no me lo esperaba, aprendimos una lección importante gracias a joel aprendimos que no hay que hacer que la venganza nos consuma, si es verdad matamos a todos los amigos de abby pero nos arrepentimos, y así finamente ellie encuentra a la paz que necesitaba. La escena final me dejó con mucha intriga, fue muy duro, revelador, triste, pero me da mas ganas para jugar una próxima entrega. 100% recomendado de jugar Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A nivel narrativo no llega a ser tan redondo como la primera entrega, la típica historia de venganza en el mundo de The Last Of Us, sin embargo creo que saben conducir la historia perfectamente y generar los momentos de tensión en todo momento. Creo que ha faltado un poco el efecto sorpresa, sin embargo eso no influye negativamente. A nivel jugable es una maravilla, parte de la base del primer juego y retoca y perfecciona el control de los personajes sin perder la esencia anterior. Las expresiones faciales y lo humanos que se sienten todos (enemigos incluidos) le da un realismo casi nunca visto dentro de la industria. Naughty Dog ha conseguido que algo tan típico dentro de un videojuego como es matar, se convierta en algo completamente desagradable y difícil de hacer. Es cierto que el juego es inclusivo, y sinceramente no me ha acabado de cuajar lo de Lev, pero en general es un juego excelente, y no merece críticas negativas por la politizacion. Sabe transmitir el mensaje sin importar los ideales. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog does it once again. The Last of Us: Part II is an amazing video game that is just as good as the last one. Within the first hour of gameplay there is a big surprise death that is not really all that surprising yet at the same time gut wrenching. Because of this death you go on an Adventure with Ellie and her partner Dina. To search for Abby in Seattle and get revenge for the death! Along the way you see tons of highs and falls not just with Ellie and Dina, but with Joel and Ellie, Jessie and Tommy! And even the backstory of Abby herself! These new characters are beautifully written and feel very natural and realistic. Every moment with them I felt like I believed in every relationship. What makes this game different than the last is you also play as Abby. This you learn why Abby did what she did. And why she has her quest for vengeance as well. This leads to you feeling confused on whether you support Abby or Ellie. In the end I felt both had respectable reasons as to there lust for revenge. Not only do you see Abby and why she wants revenge but you also get to play her in Seattle as well. And the two biggest character developments are from Ellie and Abby. Abby starts off a blind follower of the WLF’s who only wants revenge for her fathers death. However after being saved by a couple Scars she realizes this fight is not hers and decides something new is in place. So she decides to try finding the fireflies again. She goes from being a tough soldier seeking revenge. To a tough friend who no longer seeks violence. Ellie is on a complete opposite path in which she starts out sad and depressed about Joel lying to her about the fireflies. Then being mad and angry that she didn’t get the chance to give him a proper “I forgive you” and so she thinks getting revenge for his death will be a good forgiveness. However she realizes Joel wouldn’t want this a little to late because of the path she chose she lost everything she had, Love, Family, and a home.

    The only downside I saw from my 25 hours of playtime. Towards the middle of the storyline it does get boring and feels repetitive of the first two days, however that boredom is quick because once again you are thrust into a new story line and crazy punches to the face! Overall I give this game a 9/10. The great graphics, along with the great Story, and the Character Development. One thing for sure this game is definitely one of the best story mode games by far!


    (P.S. don’t listen to the reviews bashing the fact that Ellie is gay. This game does a great job of not forcing the fact that she is gay down your throat like some shows on TV do. Instead Naughty dog does a great job of making Ellie and her relationship feel like a real genuine relationship and person! Very natural and amazing!)

But I am really sorry for the fans, the developers - for the project as a whole. I understand that people were waiting for another development of history and I understand their perplexity. As part of the continuation of a story so beloved by everyone, the plot is really not what the fans were waiting for, but if the project had not been chained to this framework, it would have been appreciated. After all, the project is really good. This game was originally conceived as a drama, a genius drama we eventually got Expand

    You will forget that you are playing a video game. The story is so engaging, the characters are so real, it makes for the most immersive experience I have ever enjoyed with a videogame. Naughty dog has raised the bar with this one to an unprecedented level. I can only praise and applaud the effort that was put in to make this game. A true masterpiece, thank you Naughty Dog.

    The Last of Us Part 2 completed. What can I say about this wonderful game ?! I can only applaud Naughty Dog for his impeccable work, what a fantastic story, a mixture of sensations and feelings you feel while playing is indescribable!

    You enter the game in an absurd immersion that she created, the twists in the story, the different angles, you perfectly understand the motivations of each character that is imposed and realize that it affects them in each chapter.

    We feel anger and hatred together with Ellie and we understand the reason for her revenge and you also end up having this feeling of revenge, but in each chapter you feel that she ends up being consumed by this revenge and you no longer see the pain and problems it brings to the around you! On the other hand, it's the same thing, especially when you see the other side of the story and, in the end, you realize that all the revenge brought suffering to everyone, but it also frees everyone, I myself was anguished for not wanting to see revenge and hoping the most sensible end.
    It is indescribable what you feel when you play, for me it is an incredible story and I can only praise Naughty Dog for taking the risk and bringing this incredible game to us, it just showed how The Last of Us is my favorite game and certainly this one it's the best game of the year, this generation and my favorite game!

    And really, many people were not prepared for this masterpiece, it is very incredible for certain people, simple!

    I hope Naughty Dog continues to make such brilliant games, it just shows how the company is undoubtedly one of the best and the care it takes with its games!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. --SPOILER ALERT--

    First I'd like to preface that I really don't understand the hate this game is getting, I honestly think that if Joel were the main character and NOTHING else about the game were changed then people would be giving this game the credit it deserves.

    This is one of the best tellings of a revenge plot I've ever experienced, truly a breath of fresh air for a type of story that often only ends up being a cliched justification for brutal power fantasy without having to feel any guilt. The story reminds me in some ways of Spec Ops: The Line (an underrated gem btw) in the sense that it reminds you constantly that even though violence can feel cathartic and justified in the moment it often only leads to worse and worse outcomes, creating a cycle of violence that festers and destroys a person until/unless they're willing to break that cycle by learning to let go.

    Ellie's journey begins as what feels like a justified tale of revenge in a morally grey world. Those who have played the first game grew to love Joel, to understand that he, like virtually everyone else in this world, is a product of his environment. A person shaped by loss, tragedy, violence and desperation, someone who had lost all hope years ago but over the course of the story managed to regain it thanks to the genuine human connection and paternal instincts he felt with Ellie, and she him. For the first time in a long time Joel had something to fight for that actually mattered, something righteous in an unrighteous world. Joel's tale, while brutal, feels just, he's protecting a child. As this games story unravels you realise that this story is not just and that Ellie is actually the bad guy.

    Abby's revenge, while still wrong as it involves the killing of a human being is justifiable in that Joel killed her father, Ellie's subsequent quest isn't, as it involves the killing of dozens of people uninvolved with Joel's murder as well as the friends of Abby. You may say, fairly so, "but Joel was basically Ellie's dad?" and you'd be right, but context matters. Abby killed Joel because he killed her father, the only man capable of creating a cure. He may have had to kill Ellie to achieve that but Ellie makes it clear that she would've been okay with that. Ellie is the "bad guy" of this story, the closest thing to a villain.

    You may say "but at least Abby got her revenge, Ellie didn't", this is true but it came at the cost of everyone she cared about. It came at the cost of Nora, Manny, Owen, Alice, Mel and Mel's unborn child. Then they both got a second chance, Abby with Lev and Ellie with Dina and JJ. Abby chose to let go, to not pursue Ellie even though she now had just as much reason for revenge against her as she did with Joel, but the events of Seattle brought her to the understanding that violence only begets violence, that, to quote Arthur Morgan "Vengeance is a fools game", so she moves on. Ellie does not. This is why at the end of the game she is seemingly left with nothing, even unable to play the guitar, one of the few things that gave her a connection to Joel because she lost two of her fingers in the final confrontation with Abby, something that would've never happened if she took the chance to move on as Abby did. She did this to herself.


    Last but not least, how's the gameplay? If you played the first one you'll already feel right at home here. But just because the mechanics haven't changed enough to be unrecognisable that doesn't mean they haven't evolved in meaningful ways. The addition of being able to prone, hand-made silencers, canine enemies that can track your scent and honestly pretty clever AI make for an amazing synthesis of survival horror and stealth unlike anything I've played before. Seriously if you're a fan of stealth games and are still trying to find something to satisfy your craving, thanks to the stealth game drought since the end of MGS and Splinter Cell, then I couldn't recommend this game enough, you won't regret it.

    My only real criticism of the game is that the prologue is a really slow burn, and this is the kind of game that lends itself to multiple playthroughs with a new game plus mode, so that can be a bit of a slog. It'd be nice for Naughty Dog to add in a feature in the future to skip to Seattle at the beginning of a new game plus playthrough.

    I'm a bit confused about all the complaints over the game being supposedly political simply for including literally three LGBT characters. Hate to break it to you but LGBT people have always existed, proof goes as far back as antiquity, so there is no reason to believe they wouldn't exist in a post-apocalyptic world either.its only political if you force it to be political.

    Overall fantastic game, well worth the price of admission. I'd recommend it to anyone that loves games with a heavy focus on story, as well as to anyone that is particularly a fan of survival horror or stealth games.

    So I’m not sure what the deal is with everyone on this site ... maybe genuine disappointment? Or more likely organized review-bombing/trolling?

    But either way, let’s have a conversation about the difference between “bad” and “I didn’t get what I wanted.”

    “Bad” is clunky controls. “Bad” is repetitive environments with little-to-no detail. “Bad” is terrible graphics and uninspired world-design. “Bad” is awkward voice acting. “Bad” is forced dialogue. “Bad” is no effort being put into a game on the part of the developers.

    “Bad” is NOT: this character died but I wanted them to live! “Bad” is NOT: you play as female characters the whole game and that’s stupid! “Bad” is NOT: there are gay characters in it and that makes me feel weird! “Bad” is NOT: things didn’t go the way I expected!!! 0/10

    Those complaints are the epitome of “I didn’t get what I wanted.” And that is fine. It sucks to be disappointed.

    But that does not make something “bad.” This game is simply fantastic. The world-design is beautiful and the environments are detailed and varied. The voice acting is alarmingly naturalistic and the writing is realistic and relatable. The story is compelling and the characters are incredibly engaging. The gameplay is fluid; during combat, the enemies respond to your choices organically and realistically.

    This is a game that Naughty Dog clearly put a LOT of effort into. And I’m sorry it you “didn’t get what you wanted.” But.

    That’s a you problem.

    The Last of Us Part II, further deepens the complexity of an already broken post-apocalyptic world. As well as viciously showcasing the consequences of Joel's actions during the first game.

    The Last of Us Part II, further deepens the complexity of an already broken post-apocalyptic world. As well as viciously showcasing the consequences of Joel's actions during the first game.

    Firstly, if you are frustrated with the direction Naughty Dog has taken story-wise in this game. You must understand or remember the nature of the world Joel and Ellie live in. I just finished the first game for the third time right before part II dropped, I'd recommend doing the same before jumping in.

    So, Society and Civilization as we know them, are far gone. About 25 years gone. And the result, is anarchy, constant fear, struggle and the survival of the fittest. Joel's change was very clearly displayed during the first game, a carpenter, mutated into a ruthless killer, smuggler. In other words, the perfect product of a shattered world. Still tormented by the loss of his daughter, Sarah.

    Thus, violence begets violence, could be the motto of this world. 'An eye for an eye', 'Live by the sword, Die by the sword', and so on. Imagine how such a cruel world impacts the loss of a loved one, within a tight-knit group, trying to hang onto some speck of normality still left, all the while, survival is an ever present concern. In such a world there would be no such thing as 'Let bygones be bygones.'. So, if you're annoyed about how things turned out, I don't blame you, but so it's the way of that world.

    By what I've witnessed within my first two hours of gameplay, Abby's vengeance wasn't immoral, even though the execution of it was ruthless, yet she did not go on a murdering spree to reach her target. And it's mentioned through the game, as why she did it in that particular way.

    So, in conclusion the story in The Last of Us Part II, doesn't seem senseless, nor is it devoid of any logic. It's just a bit more complex compared with the story from the first game, which was very simple yet beautifully written and executed, with the main focus on Joel and Ellie and their journey across
    America. While in the sequel it's more about the destination. There are new characters, which, yes, lack the sweet character development we were used from the first game. And that alone, might frustrate several people.

    From the number of comments and negative reviews I read, most mention the lack of quality in the game's story. Plot holes, and character's like Joel and Ellie acting odd. Especially Joel during his encounter with Abby, as in 'Why would he trust her, the real Joel doesn't trust people.', What ? You cannot find an explanation by yourself ? Do you want a game that gives you the resolve to every aspect of it's story ? EXAMPLE: Did RDR2 explain why Dutch left Arthur to die ? No ! Why he kept avoiding the plain truth ? When everything around him pointed to the gang's demise, and perhaps his own...

    Let me ask you something...Do you want a game or movie for that matter, that explains it's own narrative ? I do not. And I don't think you want one either. So ! Why did Joel acted as he did ? He simply let his guard down. And by the time he realized in what sort of situation he got himself in, it was too late. I mean, for the last 5 years he lived within a community of people not set on screwing each other, that helped and perhaps welcomed strangers in their community. Thus, in Joel's instance, if you can explain it, it isn't a plot hole nor abnormal behavior. But simply factors that most fail to consider.

    If you take your time and really think on how else would the first game's repercussions get to affect Joel, and in turn, Ellie, one would come up with several outcomes. And somewhere among those, one will eventually come up with something along the lines of 'Actions have consequences...'.

    So, is it trash ? As some others have mentioned in their reviews, I do not think so...
    Perhaps those people expected something more cheerful, yet uncharacteristic, I would add.
    However, I don't know what most people expected...

So since Metacritic doesn't have any way to confirm if you own the game i am assuming that at the very least half of the people who wrote this didnt even play the game.

    Conclusion: Dont trust user reviews on Metacritic

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
