    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An extremely good-looking game with tight controls and a fun gameplay loop that suffers from writers too concerned about specific characters and not enough about others. An example: Jesse, a new character that (contrary to the opinion of many) I actually quite liked and was made out to be a very important part of the story was killed, and nobody gave a damn. The ending was clearly the way it was exclusively to ensure the game could have a sequel if they so wanted to, which is alright, but considering Ellie killed hundreds of people just to get a shot at Abby, had her on the ropes, then decided to let her go? **** writing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es una pena que malogren un gran juego por lo políticamente correcto. Para empezar fallaron en los trailer, mintiendo a sus fan, la historia se basa en la venganza pero al final se arrepiente despues de matar a todo el mundo, mostraron al personaje Abby como el todo poderoso eliminando a Joel que tiene mas experiencia, obligandole a volverse ingenuo y torpe, todo la historia forzado. La historia también da entender que los hombres no sirven y la escena del sexo de Abby esta demás,Espero que los demás juegos no intenten copiar este estilo por hacerle caer bien a algunos solo se pide un juego normal la política y los juegos no deben caer en lo mismo, el director debería renunciar, es una gran pena. No logre terminarlo me quede en la parte de controlar a Abby y realmente me mate varias veces con ese personaje y lo deje ahí no quise terminarlo, Pésimo pésimo… Expand

    Great combat, **** presentation, gripping story. Only thing I don’t like about it is the last chunk. I felt like the game went on a whimper. Excellent experience otherwise. 100% worth playing.

    Gráficos bonitos y trabajados, historia mal escrita y apresurada, al contrario que su gameplay que es lento y monótono, constantemente intenta imponerte valores de tolerancia mientras su protagonista demuestra un desprecio constante hacia la vida humana y desechan los valores de familia, agradecimiento y y respeto hacia los padres.

    the duality of the story is incredibly capable of leaving you without knowing what to feel, and this is the best feeling that TLOU2 provides, the gameplay is just fantastic, and the story sometimes fails, but in general arrest you, no game is perfect, but TLOU2 come close

    Amazing, so Sad about the hate, people dont understood that its a differnt story.

    The best game on PS4. It's a masterpiece from beginning to end. This and God of War 2018 are the only two 10/10 games this generation. From gameplay to storytelling it is one absolute rollercoaster of emotions. One of the very best that I have ever played in my life! And yes, I played games like TW3 & Half-Life 2 and I still think that this game is the absolute best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story might seem to revolve around vengeance, as both characters want revenge for each other’s actions. However it actually revolves around finding inner peace and forgiveness. This is a good concept executed poorly, as I could not relate to any of the characters; Abby is a muscular woman that can and WILL break you in bed, Ellie has become an arrogant little ****. I have to admit killing Joule made me sad, however it is understandable because it’s a major plot event. I have to admit I played purely for the gameplay, but even then my gameplay was ruined because I had to stare awkwardly at the screen next to my mom BOTH times when Ellie and Dina was getting pretty handsy AND when Abby got porked from behind...therefore I give it a lowish score...The sex was unwanted and uncalled for.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I manged to avoid all spoilers for this game and I am so glad I did. Wow, Naughty dog deserve a round of applause and awards for this triumph!
    Visually this game is stunning. Everything from the level design to character redevelopment is just fantastic. The story was phenominal in every way possible. It was in my opinion the perfect sequal. I have never felt so overwhelmed and exhausted (in a good way) playing a game before. I was so heartbroken and angry when Joel died. Felt so betrayed and felt myself shaking my head at Ellie choosing revenge over Dina and JJ. I found myself disagreeing with Ellies choices and disliking her, a character I had held so close to my heart, someone I saw so much of myself in. I felt sympathy and love for abby and wishing for neither to die at the hand of the other. The only criticism I have is the open ending. I feel so much more could be explored in this world so much more of Ellies and Abbys journeys have been left untold. Please Naughty dog please make a third installment. Please!!!!

    Also can I just express how proud I am of naughty dog for accurately representing the lgbtq community, I felt seen by you and I am sure so many other players will feel the same.    … Expand

    I honestly don't get the hate for this game. I loved every second of it. If you feel entitled to a certain type of story, look elsewhere. But don't gatekeep videogames as a whole just bc you wanted a dumbed down hero-worship plot. No spoilers ahead...

I loved every second of it. If you feel entitled to a certain type of story, look elsewhere. But don't gatekeep videogames as a whole just bc you wanted a dumbed down hero-worship plot.

    Trans Character(s): I've seen some comments about this game being transphobic. That is absolutely false. Having trans representation does not equal transphobia.

    Ellie and Joel: This seems to be the main reason cited for the hate. Alright, people are complex. Way, way more complex than mainstream videogame narratives will have you believe. They aren't just 'good' or 'bad'. Last of Us 2 recognizes this aspect and uses it to tell an overarching story. The game isn't about Ellie or Joel. It's about Ellie and Joel AND the people around them. It introduces a lot of amazing new characters like Dina, Jessie, Abby etc, who all feel like full-fledged, often lovable characters in their own right. Every character's actions feel well-motivated.

    Women (Ellie and Abby): Another stupid argument I keep seeing being made is that Ellie and Abby are too much like 'men' and not 'feminine enough'. Sure, I myself feel that we need more emotionally complex women in games that aren't just your typical, patriarchy-friendly 'strong woman' tropes. But the Last of Us is set in uhh.... a zombie apocalypse! Are there going to be strong women in such a world? HECK YEAH. The game has 'less masculine' women too! Dina is an absolutely wonderful character and probably my favorite in the whole game. Her strength is in her emotional maturity, which is something Ellie severely lacks.

    Game mechanics: This is a Naughty Dog game, so you know what you're in for. You either ADORE it or like it. The other reviews have talked about this already.

    TLDR; Don't go in feeling entitled to a certain kind of story, and you'll be fine. The story is realistic, so are all the characters and their motivations. Flawed characters =/= bad storytelling, quite the opposite.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the beginning of the game Joel is hated for what he has done. They tried to make everyone that plays the game start hating Joel that when his death had come into the game nobody would mind, however due to the nature of the antagonist and how swiftly Joel was killed (and brutally) they make it impossible to think of the 2nd playable character Abby as an enjoyable time, instead it is a slog that drags on and on till near the end of the game, where the ending is neither great or interesting, a point to where I was lucky to buy the game at a low price 2nd hand, and yet I still feel like I had wasted my money.… Expand

    Good game. It's better than the first Last of Us. It's even better than Kingdom Hearts 3. This game is long and has LOTS of details like Red Dead Redemption 2, Skyrim, and 2018's God of War combined. It's an awesome game.

    I thought it was a good game. I don't understand why people are so furious about it. So what that you have to switch between characters. I think playing it from Abbys point of view was interesting. You get to see why she did what she did and why. I can't wait to see what Naughty Dog do in part 3.

I never read the leaks, but knew how the mob felt about it and kept my expectations super low. But after playing it, this game is a goddamn masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly went above and beyond what they already managed to do in part 1. A juxtaposing story on two people getting revenge for the killing of a loved one. I loved these characters. Everyone gives a stellar performance. It's honestly a triumphant game which so many people have dismissed because of the death of a major character. The world of the Last of Us is a grim, unrelenting one and the death is brutal and without remorse but that doesn't mean that character becomes any less important. Their presence is felt through the story in the lessons imparted by them.Abby is such a complex and faceted character, and a wonderful foil to Ellie. I loved playing her sections of the game and I can't wait to replay the game (and hope for a continuation in the future)… 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]
