    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me preface this by saying I have watched an entire playthrough of this game because I was afraid to buy it.
    I was right to be afraid, I was in love with tlou, they ruined the characters. Joel OPENLY states his name in a room full of strangers.
    There are so many plot holes in this game. I wont be buying it at all. Ridiculous.    … Expand

    I was in love with the first game and still in love with this game. I know people are mad and giving it bad ratings because of a main character death but based on story telling, gameplay, mechanics, etc. it is an absolute must to play this game.

So people stop giving this game a bad rating because of that death, this is already game of the year and game of the decade.… Expand

    The last of us part 2 is a masterpiece in it's own right. i would argue it is better than part 1.

The game was written with its fans in mind and there are some seriously sweet and heart wrenching moments in this game that i could've only dreamed of. This game is getting a lot of hate and it doesnt deserve any of it. If you cannot empathize with people or attempt to understand their emotional trauma there is no point in you playing this impactful game. This game is literally about Ellie losing herself, and in the end, regaining some of her humanity. She is crippled by grief and past trauma, and you watch how much it affects her and her relationships. She does find her redemption and it is beautiful.

    I hope naughty dog is not affected by these bad, troll reviews. The game was amazing and emotional in ways i cannot explain. it was just magical.

    The only negative i have is because i got a little bored wondering around and looting some of the larger areas.    … Expand

    I can’t understand why such negative feedback from users. The game shows what was done with love for detail. With a story that makes you empathize with different angles and does not leave the player on the sidelines. Significantly increased locations and their sizes, improved combat, crafting and leveling.
    In any case, this game is worth playing!

    It's as close to perfect as a game can be currently. Gameplay is immaculate, graphically stunning, audio is on point and the story is magnificent. It builds on the first game and improves in every aspect. Don't believe the comments about pandering, or pushing agendas because it's just not true. One of the best games I've ever played

    Das Gameplay ist wie immer gut, aber was bringt mir ein gutes Gameplay wenn die Story von hinten bis vorne nicht stimmt. Das Grösste Verbrechen der Entwickler war es, den Joel und Tommy wie kleine unerfahrene Schuljungen in den Hinterhalt raten zu lassen, so misstrauisch und vorsichtig wie der Joel im ersten Teil war. In TLoU2 wurde er als ein dummer Anfänger dahingestellt.

    We don't deserve such a disgusting storyline and such alternative heroines. Why don't developers give the player the choice of who to play for and which side of sexuality to choose. Like in the game "Detroit" (kille or not kill humans).

    Well, I just played this game. And I could say, that I didn't like the middle of the game. But after the middle, everything has become more interesting and exciting. The epilogue got me thinking and crying for so long. I hope you'll enjoy this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm sorry, but the story of this game is brilliant. I simply cannot comprehend how people say it's bad. I think a lot of people can't get over Joel dying. There is a difference between something that you don't like happening in a story, and the story being bad.

    The Last of Us 2 brings another point of view to the table. A point of view in which Joel isn't actually such a good guy. He did things in first game that weren't that great, he killed a lot of people for selfish reasons. This game shows us BOTH points of views, Abby's and Ellie's. We see a lot of character development from both of these characters. Their stories intertwine and we realize that they are... almost the same. They both went looking for the same thing: revenge. Only to find out at the end that it's just not worth it. All that came from that revenge was pain, and death, and loneliness. I found it super interesting the way they told the story from Abby's perspective. I liked it. It shows us the world isn't always black or white.

    The game also shows us a lot of flashbacks. The moments shared between Ellie and Joel were simply wholesome and beautiful. The last flashback we see at the end shows us Ellie was angry at Joel after she found out he lied to her. She would have prefered to die to find a vaccine, she said that that way her life would have had a purpose. She ends up telling him that she doesn't think she can ever forgive him, but that she wants to try. That was the last time they saw each other. In my opinion this is what made her look for revenge. It wasn't because of Abby, it was because of herself. She didn't forgive him before he died, and that was eating at her inside.

    The end is bittersweet, but I really liked it. My interpretation of it is, when Ellie returns after sparing Abby's life, she finds out everything that she's lost due to her hunger for vengeance. But to me it really feels like she is... finally at peace? It feels like she finally forgave Joel. And at the same time, forgave herself.

    This game is simply a 10 for me. As I said, I really enjoyed the story. But the graphic aspect of it is simply outstanding as well. The music, brilliant. The characters, brilliant. The gameplay is very similar to TLOU1, but it's still fun and it works. They made some small changes that were needed as well. I don't know, maybe I'm just too positive, but I personally couldn't find any flaws in it.    … Expand

    They've changed the way the game is played, the history lost the focus and added two things to a complete different game... a Shi** story, a Shi*** intro and a horrible ending... waste of time..

La historia es la parte donde mas se desinfla el juego y es entendible que no haya pegado en los jugadores pero para mi es una historia buena pero mal ejecutada pero aun así no calificaría con 0 al juego porque este juego aprovecha y exprime al máximo mi ps4 dándole un gran cierre mientras salen las nuevas generación de consolas.… Expand

    This is what we get waiting for all these years. There are some really good moments. But that's the problem they were just moments, not at all an experience. Just sad. The story was below par. Know your audience. Respect your Audience.

    This game rocks. The gameplay, especially the stealth and combat are epic. The graphics are the best I have ever seen. The replay value is very high.It is totally unfair to be bombing this game based on the death of one character.

    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]
