    Haven't played many games that much, but based on what I've read on the subreddit for this game, the story just makes sense. It's okay if others won't accept what happened, because that's just what life is. Still a likely candidate for the game of the year for me! :)

    Besides some pacing issues that will be bothersome when you take replay-ability into account, it's an experience that improves upon its predecessor in almost every way.

    Конечно тема sjw бросается в глаза и я бы поставил игре 9б баллов, но нашествие твинк аккаунтов с их нулями вынуждает ставить 10 для поддержки проекта

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring as hell! Had to force myself to finish the game. They did Joels character dirty and just a poorly written story. Still feels like the first game, nothing innovative. they force players to play the most boring and unlikable character Abby. other than that the graphics are beautiful and fun gamplay mechanics.

    A great improvement from the first one when it comes to gameplay, doesn’t innovate, but it doesn’t need to, super fun to play. When it comes to narrative and storytelling, it presents us something bold, emotional and rich, a heavy story with many layers. It sticks with you for a while after you finished the game.

    This game is nothing but amazing, its a must play for this current generation. I UNDERSTAND that this game is divisive in terms of its story but aside from that which is totally subjective, the amount of effort and detail poured into this experience should be acknowledged.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly a master piece of story telling you will get the point of view from different character at a different pace with will add to the greatness at the story. The relationship between Ellie and Joel went on as we would have expected when the last of us one ended it’s sad that people couldn’t come to terms with Joel’s death in the all grand scheme of things I felt that it fit and gave the game a proper fair well. Abby and Ellie will those character that you’ll remember for a life time great job at the people at naughty dog! Sorry my English is bad it’s not my second language. I hope they will add a multiplayer feature later on but nonetheless this was *chef kisses* a true master piece!! Expand

    You can even wind up grades, but nothing will help to justify this trash.
    Great visual and music, but plot the worst thing that could happen to this game and SJW everyone tired of seeing this.

    I enjoy this game, but the trailers were a horrible lie, and the history ins’t the best.
    The gameplay is perfect and if the trailers would have been truth, the game could hace been better for the users.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I haven't played the game, dont want to, only watched a gameplay. I love the lgbtq representation and diversity in the game but I feel like most of it was unnecessary to the plot line? like it felt forced almost. Also, as a player of the game, and human being, seeing a character i was so attached with from the first game die the most brutal way possible was heartbreaking and disappointing. I think it's very obvious that joel's death was very messy and makes no sense at all. Almost like they wanted to get over with him. I hated the game with a passion. The idea was there but i the execution was horrible. it had potential of being a diverse, have a strong storyline that gives you closure, and emotional. But instead it was forced, and horrible. I really do hope next time, they read what the fans want and not what the critics want. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply outstanding. Game of the year, without a doubt.

    The Last of Us 2 seems to have divided gamers - like marmite, you either love it or hate it. I certainly fall into the "love it" category, but I didn't to begin with.

    The story took a bizarre turn.. one that was difficult to swallow at first. But the game found a way to gradually and subtly change your whole perspective on the story, the characters and ultimately what is right and wrong or that blurred grey area in-between.

    Having spent some time reading through the negative reviews.. they all have the resounding tone of grief. People are not grieving a poor story-line, but grieving that the storyline did not map out how it was "supposed to" in their head. Good stories are supposed to make you feel something - and this game did exactly that. However, making individuals feel negative emotions from playing your game will not yield the same 10/10 ratings that you got from the first game.
    Let's not forget, we effectively doomed the world to suffer a zombie infected apocalypse when a cure was within reach.. yet that felt pretty good, Joel was the hero, right? No, he wasn't, far from it.

    The gameplay was nothing short of flawless, keeping you in suspense at all times whilst improving on the AI and combat of the previous game.

    Without a doubt, this is a must-play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This games looks amazing the gameplay is incredible naughty dogs usual gameplay polish is here with graphics better than any game they have made before. However as this is a narrative based game I’ve got to acknowledge that the story is entirely lacking and takes away from how enjoyable the gameplay can be. The reliance on coincidences and plot Armor withdraws almost any stakes in each set piece. And of course there’s Abby one whom is defended by many critics who ignore the fact that her and Manny attempts to justify killing kids in a throw away line in Seattle day on as well as the face she was clearly didn’t care and almost enjoyed the woman who’s throat she was about to slit was pregnant just to get one over on Ellie that’s just sick Ellie defended herself against Mel and Owen. Just because Abbie saves two people inevitably killing several of her owlf comrades does not redeem her in any way. The ending is something I won’t go into because I don’t even know how to feel about it and would rather recommend the last of us remastered as that is a 10/10 game if this game had a multiplayer faction mode like that one I would give it an extra point or two but the great gameplay is simply overshadowed by the contrived and manipulative narrative.

    Neil druckman has ruined One of the most loved video games of all time by his selfishness and his twisted mind. Shame on you Naughty dogs shame on you Sony,
    Druckmann writing is a piece of **** without the great Bruce Straley.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I couldn't finish playing after they killed off the character I was waiting 7 years to play. Not sure how come they created a story line that panders to the vocal minority instead of what real players want. It's funny how it got a high score, since the reviewers want to continue to receive free stuff (access media) Expand

    O jogo é bonito, tem um cenário muito bem feito, porém tem muitos bugs sim, eu joguei posso dizer que tem, a mídia supervalorizou este game, é um jogo mediano, história "boa" porém o final muito ruim, resumindo jogabilidade excelente, gráficos lindos mas pelo fato da história ser tão fraca e forçada e ter alguns bugs, que sim atrapalham em algum momento, vai ser esta nota.

    O jogo da década. Tecnicamente perfeito, com a gameplay mantendo a essência do primeiro jogo evoluindo de maneira fluida o combate e movimentação. A história é corajosa e vai te fazer questionar uma série de coisas sobre os personagens que já conhecemos no primeiro jogo. Uma pena o jogo ser atacado por essa cambada de incel virjão intolerante, mas nos dias de hoje não me surpreende.

    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]
