    I really hated the game. More specifically the narrative. Yes, the game is fun, even Abby's story line but I truly didn't care for Abby's story line. The ways Naughty Dog manipulates and forces you to do things you would never do is a huge let down. The ending will depress the hell out of you and leave you not ever wanting to pick up this game again. I honestly wished Part 2 was never madeI really hated the game. More specifically the narrative.

This game is not worth full price; alot of resells out there… Expand

    Que jogo é absurdo, completo, com roteiro incrível e faz uso de uma narrativa que eu sempre sonhei fazer em um jogo. Por mais jogos como esse.

    Absolutely incredible game that exceeded the hype and surpassed all of my expectations. Breathtaking gameplay and mechanics that feel eerily life-like. The character arcs were so complex and interwoven that I wonder how they were able to bring it all together so flawlessly. As a filmmaker, the gorgeous lighting and overall aesthetic really sealed the deal for me. True masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sort of a failure, sort of a masterpiece The Last of Us Part 2 tries to blur the line of protagonists and antagonists. What is evil and what is not. The problem is that some of the character development/inconsistent behaviour or particular aspects of the story fall flat due to lack of said development, and the bigger problem is that all of those aspects could’ve been easily avoided by switching/tweaking some minor details here or there, while maintaining the same story. Now, the story is polarizing. Love it or hate it, but I think it’s pretty amazing. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, where you get to experience love and care, only to be left with void and despair. It’s not a fun experience in the end of the day, but it’s definitely worth it. Besides, it’s not the type of universe, where people get to be happy. Starting with the original The Last of Us, it was pretty clear, that it aims to show brutality of the world our characters are in. The story makes sense, but it’s how it’s delivered that makes it illogical in some parts. Again, it’s just little things, and I’ll gladly close my eyes to those aspects, as it’s pretty clear what Naughty Dog tried to do here, but it’s still disappointing of how they missed those minor details. Don’t listen to all those angry kids upset about Joel’s death or presence of LGBT themes, they clearly missed the point. Experience it for yourself. Everything but the story is 10/10

    This trash game has gay people in it and it's disrespectful with the first one, proving that Naughty Dog has stopped doing great games for a long time since

    With such an impactful inciting incident, a well written story with believable dialogue, an ending though not exactly happy but neccesary, plus fluid and engrossing gameplay that forces the player to make uncomfortable decisions, Last of Us Part II is easily Game of the Year in 2020.

It's a bit disheartening to see so many hateful people reviewing the game based on their own biases and often sexist opinions rather than actually playing. I wish I could filter those out because I thoroughly believe the user score would have been much higher which it rightfully deserved. But unfortunately the world is filled with ignorant people. I hope future players will read more reputable reviews than the ones solely posted to drag down a game they hated before it was even released.… Expand

    Gameplay: the gameplay so repetitive and boring it has copied all the moves from the last naughty dog games. The combat is still very bad.
    Graphics: good, in fact one of the best graphics games.

    OVERALL REVIEW: so I have completed the game and now I can say that I have played the worst game ever. They could have made it so much better but they went full drunk with this one. Almost half my gameplay was searching for the resources and collectibles. They have made it so bad that I don't think I am ever going to buy a naughty dog game again. The game is very very very slow. Sometimes it start to feel like they have needlessly stretched the gameplay just to make the overall game duration longer. I got so bored by this game I had to force myself to complete it for just knowing the ending.
    The ending was very bad.
    The overall game is very bad. I think this is the worst PS4 game ever.
    It's so much bad that Even the good graphics don't justify My purchase.    … Expand

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. The story is simply outstanding and the characters are like real people, with their own motivations and hopes. I can't understand people reviewing this game with a 0, this proves that fanatics don't have any criteria at all. For me, one of my most favourite games of all time. Do not miss it!

    Pros: terrific graphics (but GOT is the best looking on PS4P)
    Cons: story, length, emotionally confusing (especially if you are a fan of TLOU), painful to get through
    What could have been is destroyed to fit a SJW narrative. If you don't mind that stuff then the repetitive shear brutality and lack of emotional investment in the characters only keeps you going to find out who survives    Pros: terrific graphics (but GOT is the best looking on PS4P)

If you don't mind that stuff then the repetitive shear brutality and lack of emotional investment in the characters only keeps you going to find out who survives in the end. In retrospect, it is a game that is merely meh. Whereas TLOU is still one that I will revisit to relish great story and emotional ties that still evokes love and the defense of that love.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us part II in many ways expands this story, and even though it is painful to see Joel out of the picture so soon, I feel it was necessary for even I to be motivated with Ellie’s goal. I remember thinking ok I’ll stop after this section and then kept playing for the sake of it was my revenge too. And once I switched to abby I felt so conflicted the further I played as her. Did I want Ellie to succeed or Abby to flourish? And although even the end didn’t feel successful to me I could not get it out of my mind. This game is truly a masterpiece for even making it possible for myself to switch and understand other perspectives, and to even feel the emotions I felt. All I really should have said was this game is a must play, for anyone who likes a phenomenal story.… Expand

I was upset at first as well with Joel's passing but after playing and finally finishing the game.. I was left speechless for how anazing Of a story it turned out to be. I am also flabbergasted from all of the hate. The negative comments are clearly from people who either don't play video games on PlayStation or haven't given the game a chance after the first hour.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the biggest disappointments of all time. I really loved previous Naughty Dog games. I gave Uncharted 2, for example, a full 10 because it was one of the outstanding games of the PS3 generation. I also enjoyed the first The Last of Us game, mainly based on the characters, story and world. Sadly, I can't say the same thing about the The Last of Us Part 2.The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the biggest disappointments of all time. I really loved previous Naughty Dog games.

I also enjoyed the first The Last of Us game, mainly based on the characters, story and world. Sadly, I can't say the same thing about the The Last of Us Part 2.

    The Last of Us Part 2 has destroyed the franchise for me. I did not like what they did with the characters and narrative. And, unfortunately, I never thought the gameplay was all that enjoyable in the first game and it's mostly the same here. It wears thin for me. I just don't find it all that fun. So with a terrible narrative and characters, and average gameplay, all I'm left with is a very pretty game. But that isn't enough to make me want to continue playing a game. Most high end games these days look pretty damn amazing. Games now have to actually be enjoyable if they want to stand out and be held in great esteem by gamers.

    Another thing I have to mention is that the game has very obvious woke messaging throughout it. I am so tired of being beat over the head constantly with this same political ideology in every form of entertainment media. And given the fact that this game will likely be played by many young people who aren't aware of the propaganda they are being fed it amounts to a kind of brainwashing. I think this is despicable and should be called out. Most gamers do not want any kind of overt modern political messaging in their games.

    So, in the end I disliked the game for several major reasons: the poor narrative and characters, the average gameplay that I don't get much enjoyment from, and the fact the game is being used as a vehicle for specific political messaging. If Naughty Dog returns to what made games like Uncharted 2 so great I will gladly buy and play their next game. But if they continue down this path of being more concerned about shoehorning their political agenda into a game, instead of making sure it's a great game that can be enjoyed by a wide range of gamers, I will be avoiding their future releases.    … 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]
