    Bunch of upset children whining in these reviews who probably didn't even play the damn game
    You're literally ignoring the whole story if you think Joel was a good guy who did nothing wrong

    Looks great, but game play mechanics aren't the best they could have been, sounds are great, clickers are still scary to hear and not see. Story is where it falls flat, both new and old characters are just terribly written, and i found myself not caring for any of them in the end. Really lost interest in this series, most likely wont get the next.

    It's not just about revenge, its consequences and effects, but also about the fact that violence only creates more violence. So in the end, many of the moments took me away. The all-important at the beginning not as much as expected. Others more so. It has happened twice that I had to put the controller down and come down

    In the end, my only criticism remains that the level in the second half was a little too long. but that's complaining at a high level.    … Expand

    Phenomenal graphics and animation. However, the game is ruined by the horrible choice to tell a story of a petty revenge plot. I hate this story. I wish naughty dog did it 180* different. Thank you

    I do like it, I don't understand why people still putting hate on this game, I'm just saying is not the best game I've ever played, but I do respect the author of the game because this is how he wanted to end his game already knowing not all the players are going to like it.

    An emotional rollercoaster of a masterpiece! The developer should be commended for the brave choices they made with this sequels storyline. Went straight on to New Game + after completion.

The only part of the game where I felt some joy playing it was the flashback scene in the museum. This game was bad and nothing will change my mind. I can confidently say that I will never play this trash again.… Expand

    Although the game play was fun and engaging, the writing and story are sub par. A lot of emotional manipulation is attempted at the player, but it fails in the end, as characters motivations and decisions seem hollow.

    The game repeats the way of playing The first game, it would be a ressue of the first game with a horrible Story, with the exception of the graph the story leaves a feeling of doing everything for nothing, really Weak!

    Best story ever written. Best characters ever created. This is the game what everybody must play not only watch a vod of a walkthrough. Strongly recommended, solid 10/10. I hope the upcoming series will be such good as the games, fingers crossed.

    Well, I’ll begin with this, that this game is so freaking underrated, PERIOD. It does not deserve a zero only because of the story telling, which if you truly take a deep thought through it you will understand. This is a game about put things down and let it go, not forgiveness, there is a major difference between put everything away and forgiving.

It does not deserve a zero only because of the story telling, which if you truly take a deep thought through it you will understand. This is a game about put things down and let it go, not forgiveness, there is a major difference between put everything away and forgiving. Ellie made her choice in the end, I’m not gonna judge about it here since I don’t want to spoil and plot. But it makes sense if you paid attention to every detail to the game, including read her journal frequently. You could experience the emotions through out the game. The story as a whole is definitely a tragedy, but a extremely beautiful one. Naughty Dog did a great work on controlling players emotions, even though I do agree that some parts might be too aggressive and hard to accept. I’d give this game a 10, considering the story or not. Because the Naughty Dog team had created the one of the greatest game with atmosphere and a sense of realistic among those PS4 era games. Whether people like the story, the team definitely deserves an A+ on bringing these small details to life. Another thing I’d like to mention is the technology of facial detection in this game. Joel and Ellie’s conversations are the most realistic and emotional experience I’ve ever had in my 10 years of gaming. In the end, I would say that I definitely recommend you to play this game even though I know that there is many negative reviews and critics on the internet about it. But try to experience it yourself, it is going to be a whole different story.… Expand

    trash game filled lgbtq garbage will never touch this game ever again. Neil drunkman and naughty dog killed this franchise and is in complete under the water. If there's a 3rd miss me! I won't be interested whatsoever. So I give this game's score a 0 I have never played a game that i hated my whole life before. This is no masterpiece or a game of the year its an L of the year.

    The game made for the Anita Sarkeesians who never play games. Builds the game up in the first game then destroys everything in the second. Killing off a main character just to enforce some context in the 2nd game? I guess you needed to get rid of “toxic masculinity” from the game? But replaced it with toxic feminists. Congratulations on making Joel dumb as a rock! Very believable. Game isThe game made for the Anita Sarkeesians who never play games.

I guess you needed to get rid of “toxic masculinity” from the game? But replaced it with toxic feminists. Congratulations on making Joel dumb as a rock! Very believable. Game is hateful and vengeful. And the plot holes is unbelievable. You show a Joel “flashback” before you were supposed to kill Abby, after disrespecting Joel earlier in the game. Writers have lost touch with reality and the majority specifically the fans. Way to go pushing an agenda into gaming. Mediocre improvements in the gameplay. Confusing options for difficulty and AI. 10/10 for jump button, LOLS. Good graphics though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easily one of the best games of all time, just like the original. Gave it a 9 because it's not quite as good as the first.

    I have to say something about the negative reviews. There are some that are clearly just angry that there are LGBT characters. Then there are those who claim to be upset about the story, and give the game a score of 3 or less... it is ridiculous reason to give a game of this quality such a low score because the story isn't perfect (to you). There are games with patently awful but still fun, and if they lose points, they lose only a few. Don't like the story? Give it a 7/10. Really don't like the story? You're crazy — because it is fantastic — but OK, give it a 5/10. Don't like the story because a main character dies? Grow up, you loved that in Game of Thrones. Giving it a 3, or a 2, or a 1, shows that criticism of the story is nothing but thinly veiled homophobia.    … Expand

    Don’t play with prejudice, that will only hinder you enjoying this game, maybe the plot makes many people dissatisfied, but the gameplay is still incomparable. The production details in the game are still enough to nominated for GOTY.

    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]
