    The game is Garbage, The Narrative is Dog Crap The Gameplay is Great, Narrative is disgusting, This game would have been the Goat if it had a better story, But Sadly this is a big Disrespect for the fans who waited 7 Years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all i am writing this review because of all the unwarranted criticism this game is getting.I thought if people write reviews without having played the game just because it is cool to hate this game, I can also write a review praising it for how good it is.
    After playing this i did not know i actually wanted a sequel. I am absolutely glad of the direction it took because in this way it is even more unique and fresh than what it could've been if Naughty Dog went with a safer approach. This story is brutal and shocking. This is a clear departure from the easier to swallow formula of the first game which focused on a wonderful relationship while it still explored the dark depths of humanity that are revealed by the coming of the virus. This goes all the way into the darkest depths of character study. The plot is set in motion by Joel's death which comes very early into the game and while expecting it, it still managed to surprise me. This is a brutal undignified death that further explores the dark state of the world. It also launches Ellie's brutal revenge story in motion. The game departs from the Ellie we know from the first one. We see a more mature version of her and we observe as she slowly loses her established humanity piece by piece in her obsession with revenge . The game also wants you to see the game in this first half through her eyes antagonizing the group responsible for Joel's death making it easier to connect with Ellie's struggle.In the second half of the game we play as a new character named Abby who is responsible for brutally murdering Joel in the beginning of the game. I was intrigued by this narrative choice and I was curious to see if the game would be effective with such a twist in perception. It is in my opinion a brilliant design choice that further enhances the story suggesting the message that in such a depressing world it is all a matter of perspective. We see Abby's relationships and friendships akin to what we see in Ellie's part of the story. And as the game slowly shifts to Abby's perspective you start to see Ellie as the villain. All of this further enhances in my opinion the idea that the game tries to convey. It wants to depress you, make you feel desperate as if you are a part of the lifeless world that it represents. I can totally understand why some people cannot appreciate this shift of narrative because of the passion they had for the first game which still is from a narrative standpoint a masterpiece. I do not agree with the clearly fake reviews that nitpick at the game simply because it's cool using arguments such as an nonexistent political agenda that apparently is behind the game. I can also not understand the people who stopped playing after Joel died. So in conclusion this game is absolutely unique and fresh and further illustrates the power of immersion videogames have achieved. It is also a bleak character study that explores humanity's most primitive and overpowering desires    … Expand

    Es una digna secuela del producto original y uno de los mejores juegos de la generación. Gameplay impecable y una historia emocional, emotiva y cruda. No es un juego para débiles y es completamente una introducción desgarradora al mundo de Ellie 5 años después de haber tenido la oportunidad que Joel le arrebató para salvar a la humanidad. Es una joya.

    Before you hate this game, you will need to finish the game. The story is a perfect contrast of the first game. Writers take risk and it pays off. Every action has consequences. All characters are three dimensional, you need to give them a chance. If you just look for story that is black and white then you are playing the wrong game.The world of The last of us has always been grey.

    A solid 8/10 from me. Although I like part 1 more, I still had a lot of fun playing part two. My only point of complaint is that I wish we could play as Ellie a bit more. That and the story pacing felt a bit off. I dont like when the story jumps left and right in forms of flashbacks. I am not a fun of it. But other then that, a very solid game.

I get why people aren’t happy, because Joel was such a great character. But, the story picked up and it’s really great. If you enjoyed the first one, play this with an open mind, and you’ll love it… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece and milestone in gaming. This is not even an overstatement. The gameplay and graphics are state of the art. And the story is an extremely powerful, grim, groundbreaking, and heartbreaking (in a good way) tale of hate, violence, revenge, and moral conundrums. I felt Ellie's pain when Joel was killed. I felt her rage too. I wanted to get to Abby and kill her as much as any player. But then the game made me see Abby's perspective, for which I was not ready. I did not want to play as her, but I didn't have any option. But then as the story progressed, I got to know her story, her motivations, and her pain. I was still team Ellie, but empathized with Abby too. And understood how Ellie was the clear villain in Abby's story. It takes balls to do what Naughty Dog did with this game. And they did justice to the sequel and the first game. The ending breaks your heart. And would probably haunt me for some time.… Expand

    Fantastic game and story. Powerful, emotional, and thought provoking. Definitely a case of you should play before giving an opinion unless you don't like violence then that's ok if you don't wanna play, but not "I heard something happens that I don't like so F this game. No one play it! It's awful even though I have no context!"

    Depois de 30 Horas jogadas cheguei ao Fim do Game e posso Falar , foi a melhor experiência em jogo que já tive , a Princípio fiquei aborrecido com alguns acontecimentos mas o jogo ele coloca você na pele de Ellie para que sinta todas as Sensações Humanas , Se pudesse daria nota 1000.

The plot is really hard to make player swallow, but it's not because the quality, it's because the game made player face the side we all want to ignore and forget, and refuse to let the audience escape the painful truth of the world. Even this is just a video game, I still can feel the weight of Ellie's feeling. It's the most ugly but perfect game anyone have ever create.… Expand

    Cormac Mccarthy-esque in execution. I don't think I've experienced a story as soul destroying and enthralling since Berserk or The Road. Revenge always ruins lives and costs more than one could imagine the could lose along the way. Brilliant acting and motion capture. Amazing graphics and combat/stealth mechanic s. HBO has their work cut out for them to adapt this.

    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]
