    9.5 .

    I don't understand that bad score , this game is a masterpiece. I rushed to get finished because of the spoilers , but can say the cutscenes and the facial movement are some of the best ever seen on a game, naughty dog did a great work on the game. The gameplay still feel like the previous game , with some little improvements, if you erase all the bad reviews and play with not    9.5 .

    Unbelievably good and by far the best game of PS4’s lifespan. It’s bold, original and it will make you feel all sorts of things. Pretty much every aspect is perfect but it’s really the story, specially in its final moments, that will leave a lump in your throat for a long time to come. Please do not believe the short-sighted reviews, this game really is one for the books.

The second part presented a new narrative experience that was not there before. But for the main plot topics, the developers had to sacrifice functional characters, which I did not like. I did not understand the ending right away, for this I had to remember the game and look for answers, because the reason for the act was much deeper than other similar moments in the scenario. Gameplay is awesome. There are transfers to only 2-3 encounters, the rest is great. Graphics, technology and details ofc amazing too… Expand

    Well, it has been 12 hours since the game released. Of course I didn't play it. But so didn't any of the 6000 reviews already bringing the game score to an all time low. What I hate more than bad and misinformed reviews are hate reviews so I'm doing the lesser evil.

    Great game. Haven't played it yet. But at least I'm being honest about it. 10/10 would review again.

    The Story is unpredictable, sad, and disappointing just like life. These haters are the people who disappointed because the story is tragic and painful.
    If you played the last of us part 1 and you loved it, it doesn't mean you gonna love the second part as well.

    The game shouldn't be the one you want it to be. Just open your mind and give the story to drive.

    I finished the game a few days ago. I had nightmares about the ending. No game impressed me so much, the story is heavy, deep, sensitive and emotional, also depressive, violent and perverse. just life as it is. The ending is so bitter that it gives me chills... i just love it.

    A masterpiece. Truly, truly powerful, nuanced, sensitive, complex art. It doesn't trap itself by wanting to be safe at any point and feels like something unique and just emotionally amazing. The structure is genius. Druckmann somehow topped the first game. The ending is the best I've seen in a game, by far.

    I think the hate is blown out of proportion, even if u don't like the story (so far I personally like it), there's plenty of other stuff to enjoy here (world, gameplay, visuals, sound, animations etc.) In no way shape or form does this deserve a zero!

    i'm gonna ask u this, how many good games have u played that had "bad writing" but u still enjoyed them?

    To those saying it’s an agenda or pandering, you forget that she was a lesbian in the spin off. AND by having LGBTQI characters is NOT and agenda or pandering especially when there was a connection from the start. The world has changed and if you cannot move forward and accept that YES there is gay people in the world now then I suggest you go hide in a closest, plenty of room for you now all those with “agendas” are out and living their best life and getting the representation we deserve.    … Expand

    Just spetacular. Plot and story are perfect, the characters are deep and the gameplay is fun. But more than that, it's a masterpiece about empathy that only the videogame media is capable of doing. Last of Us par 2 is art, for sure.

They didn't play the game, and thus have no idea how amazing it is. They only came here because Metacritic doesn't have any account linking to prove you've actually played the game (like Steam does -- this should be mandatory), and all the crybabies who saw the leaks review bombed it, hoping it wouldn't become PS4's bestseller. Well guess what, it's been nearly 2 months now and people are STILL talking about TLOU Part II.

    Now, let's get to the good stuff. The review!

    This is by far the best video game ever created for the PS4. The visuals outshine that of The Last of Us. The actual details (if you make Ellie go prone repeatedly on cement, she'll have scrapes on her forearms and wrists). The story is really great (although I feel like they could have made the game longer to expand on a few things). But overall I thought this was the best game I have ever played on PS4 from Naughty Dog. SO good in fact that I played this game 3 times in a row (not only to get the platinum, which was easier without factions), but because I just love the whole Last of Us world (and I waited 7 years to be with Ellie in her world again).

    I HIGHLY recommend this game. The quality outshines any other game out there. Naughty Dog created new tech just for realistic EYES!

    Do yourself a favor and buy this game. The story hits hard, but that's okay.    … 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]
