    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it. The story is dark and twisted. If I wanted to relive what was in the first one, I would go and play TLOU.
    I loved the gameplay. Sneaking around, better combat, more swimming, more hiding. Really great.
    I liked two sides of story. I dont think you were suppose to like Abby cause you have to play as her. Its your choice if you gonna like her, or not. No one elses.
    Yes, it was cruel what happened to Joel. But what he did while saving Ellie - we all knew its BAD. its to choose one person over all others. Joel and Tommy did some stuff before the game and we all know it too. They were no saints.
    So, didnt you think someone would take revenge? Someone from family gonna just pass on that? Eye for an eye. Thats the whole story. Revenge. On both sides.

    And for god's sake, if you complain about s*x scene with Abby, and her body type - I really suggest looking around that women come in ALL shapes. As a woman myself, I was pleased to see someone who is not the sexy body type, or skinny, but a woman, who works out and have muscles. ( If you think Im the same, no. I'm absolute opposite. )

    Play the game. You don't like it? Fine.
    I loved it.
    A little minus for some repetitive parts of games. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.
    Ive read some people who wrote they own plot of the game...There is forum for that. Just cause you don't like that it's not happy ending story, does not mean game is bad.
    And thank you Naught Dog, for including LGBTQ+ in the game.    … Expand

    This game doesn't need the bad reviews, even if it wasn't what you expected. People delayed this game just to make sure it was perfect for release, maybe it doesn't remind you of tlou cause the characters evolve, Ellie isnt just a kid anymore so what did you expect? Another father and daughter moment in a post apocalyptic world?

    The story is a mess, this game should've done better, the first one was a masterpiece I really enjoyed the story ND Created but this is really sad

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a game you have to play all the way through to really appreciate. Honestly about four or five times throughout the game I thought I was at the end and for the first few I thought, “ehhh decent story but not that great.” Then the story kept going. What it ended up being is a masterpiece, better than the original. This game forces you to play as Abby, the one who killed our beloved Joel. When it first switched to her I didn’t want to play with her. Was I wrong. She’s now my favorite character in the series. She has so much depth to her. The entire game uses this to show us there are two sides to every conflict and who is evil is merely due to where you’re standing. Abby overcomes her hate in some respects but can’t let go of it in others. It’s the most true example of human nature I’ve ever seen in a video game. The two games together could be studied over a semester in the same way we studied classic literature in high school and college. I can’t say enough good about this game. Don’t listen to the people who hate it. This is truly and honestly the best game I’ve ever played. I loved it so much in fact I created an account just to review it (never reviewed a game before).… Expand

    No entiendo el odio que le tiran al juego, si bien es cierto que el primer momento importante narrativo no fue el mejor y pudo mejorar, no es consecuencia de que tenga tan baja puntuación, no se dejen guiar por la gente que mantiene una mente cerrada a que todo salga como seria obvio que saliera.
    Cada mecánica y momentos narran una historia realista con ese toque tan excelente    No entiendo el odio que le tiran al juego, si bien es cierto que el primer momento importante narrativo no fue el mejor y pudo mejorar, no es consecuencia de que tenga tan baja puntuación, no se dejen guiar por la gente que mantiene una mente cerrada a que todo salga como seria obvio que saliera.
    Cada mecánica y momentos narran una historia realista con ese toque tan excelente cinematográfico, usaron el mundo de the last of us para mejorar cada y una parte de él técnica y gráficamente, y la historia no se queda nada atrás en ningún momento. Para mi, si bien el primer juego lo sigue superando, es por muy poco.
    No se dejen guiar de opiniones malas, pruébenlo ustedes mismos. Para mi es de los mejores juegos de la generación y merece ganar el juego del año.    … Expand

    The game is beautiful, gameplay faithful to the first game, the story spits in the face of the fans killing Joel in such a grotesque way, it was like he wasn't a main character, you know? But the game is really cool and I really liked it.

    This game is a masterpiece in my opinion. I stayed away from all the spoilers and was better off for it. It's my view that most of the negative reviews I have seen are from people who didn't get their fanfiction realized in the story. You won't find better videogame craftsmanship than The Last of Us Part II

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alchile es un juego súper cabron y me di el tiempecito de terminarlo y sin duda volveré a pasármelo esta semana con más calma, mi puntuación a este game fue un 10/10 sin duda excepto lo de cortarle los dos deditos a ellie no estuvo chingon:( jajaja pero fue mordida por mordida xd

    Yo no quise dar mi reseña en Metacritic ni en ningún lado hasta terminarlo, tampoco vi spoilers ni el juego en otro lado para ir a dar mi crítica toda inútil sobre lo “políticamente correcta que era la historia del juego” JAJA ni tampoco de la sexualidad de distintos personajes

    Para empezar No hay enemigo en este juego, Abby no es villana y se darán cuenta en las 3 horas que la debes usar, solo es una sobreviviente más como lo era Joel y Ellie, llegó un momento en que llegue a encariñarme con Abby por todo lo que hizo, ella solo vengo a su papá y pues Ellie se vengaba de su compañero de vida, fue algo muy cruel ver a Ellie quedarse sola y ver a Abby derrotada y delgada xd, esta lleno de sentimientos y decisiones chingonas, sin duda es un juego que te llena de emociones y te hace entender que no siempre vas a terminar con un final feliz, espero sin duda que haya tercera parte para saber cómo estás dos avanzan y aquí les recalcaré algunas cosas que son mentira
    -Abby no es Trans solo hacía demasiado ejercicio y es una chica fuera de lo normal a lo que se supone que la sociedad dice como se debe ver una mujer, sin embargo su compañera Lev si es mujer y se siente hombre (nose como se les llama a la sexualidad estas personas)
    -El director si se integró en el juego pero jamás tuvo relaciones con ningún personaje y tampoco se puso como el más inteligente al contrario en el juego esta muerte xd, aunque así lo fuera no tiene nada de raro jajaj

    Es un buen juego pero muchos seguidores de él y grupos tanto amigos míos nos hemos percatado de que ya los milenials de hoy de esta época son muy llorones y no aguantan muchas cosas y todo les cala como la homofóbia, que tomen contenido gubernamental o cosas así, como el juego dio lo que se prometió pero sinceramente si no lo has jugado no des tú critica jaja, acepto que a muchos no les gusto pero la historia trata de sobrevivientes, es algo que muchos hubiéramos hecho si estuviéramos en el lugar de cualquiera de las dos, sin más que decir, juéguenlo, se lleva mínimo este año como un buen juego de supervivencia, excelente trabajo por Neil D. Y Naughty Dog ❤️    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece of storytelling, a masterpiece in the use of the video game format to force its players to feel empathy towards characters they would normally hate, to make choices they don't want characters they love to make.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not for someone wanting a feel good, light-hearted fairy tale. It is by far the most gritty, no-punches-pulled survival horror I have played to date. There is an incredibly ominous, dark undertone to the theme, which is underscored by the brutal combat between multi-dimensional, well developed characters. The body count of those characters that the audience has come to know and love only helps to solidify this game as an absolute gold standard in story telling.

    If you played the first game and you didn't think that Joel had a reckoning coming, you are severely naive. He was a most smart, dangerous, cunning protagonist. He and Ellie had more than a few close calls but every time got away because his purpose was to protect her. After slaughtering all the fireflies at St. Mary's, he tried to prevent his fate by coldly executing Marlene, but he didn't get away as clean as he had hoped.

    Now, in part II, that reckoning and all the pain, anguish and fear that comes with it are unleashed on the audience. If you are angry that Joel died, it is because you cared about him and he was ripped away. That doesn't make this a bad story, it makes it the best story that can be told. One that actually makes you feel angry or sad or helpless. Then puts a goddamn gun in your hand and lets you hunt down those responsible, at tremendous cost.

    If it is playing as Abby, the one who has the blood of Joel on her hands, that upsets you, then perhaps you are too short sighted to understand that she had every reason to beat him to death with an iron. He killed everyone she knew, including her father, and virtually damned the world to a fate where there will never be a solution to the cordyceps. Perhaps the most interesting perspective on this is to consider that would you have played as Abby first, and never known Joel, you would be on her side and despise him as the antagonist. Ultimately, Abby and Ellie are foils of eachother - Joel killed Abby's father and Abby killed Ellie's.

    I loved this game and it has truly been worth the wait. The gameplay was the most fun experience I've had on the sticks in a long time with the addition of prone mechanics, excellent dodging and crafting weapon attachments being most notable. The story was sad, gut-wrenching, horrifying, and bittersweet. Anyone who does not consider this game an absolute masterclass should take a step back and remember that the point of a good story is to feel something and the excellent storytellers at Naughty Dog didn't settle for a feel good crowd pleaser.

    With gameplay that is polished to perfection and a story that will make you laugh at one moment, then cover your face in horror at the next, I am confident this game will not be outdone for a very long time. Thanks Naughty Dog!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was so intense, thrilling and a rollercoaster of emotions. The graphics, mechanics and the warfare was amazing. I can say 10/10 best game of 2020 so far. Nice job Naughty Dog, sorry for all the crybabies rating the game so bad.
    What I can grab from the story is revenge after revenge, a never ending cycle, Joels actions shaped the entire West Coast, making people split. What's so hard to understand?
    We see communites and people trying to rebuild the world, everyone cries about the story not being Apocalyptic, but if the game was only zombies they'd cry about that too.
    Most of these bad ratings are people who bandwagonned on the hate train or just hate the fact that ellie is gay and Abby is more masculine and fit than them.
    The ratings will only go up from here.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an absolute masterpiece. I found the story to be deeply powerful, and while it may look like the majority of people don't like it I guarantee you that they're just a very vocal minority. As I get older I've been finding it much harder to get really into a game, but this one had me right from the start. The visuals are incredible, the game play is engaging and intense, sounds design is best in class, and while some may find the story and its ending to be upsetting I found it to be very natural and realistic. I mean who actually thinks you can have a happy ending in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, especially after all the traumatic experiences these characters have gone through? Anything else would have felt forced and out of place. Go out and get this game!!… Expand

I was so glad abby didn’t die in the end nor ellie cause if abby wouldve died the revenge cycle wouldve just continued..I have so many unanswered quesions!! They need to add a DLC OR Sumn Cause Whew im in distraught over here… 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]
