    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In all my life of gaming I haven't dealt with such a cliche story with nonsense sprinkled in as a poor attempt to “subvert expectations.” In my mind, the great reviews from all of these companies have been bought out or were formed from sympathy over the leaks that obviously annoyed the community. I played through the game since midnight launch and the story was nowhere near the impact of the first game. There were shoehorns, forced representation that didn't fit the game, a nonsense death of Joel that was reminiscent of if a storm trooper just hunted down and killed Luke Skywalker at the start if the Empire Strikes Back for the destruction of the death star. Political correctness is a cancer that ruined this game along with bad writing and poor lore decisions that feels like a slap in the face to every fan of the original game. It’s hilarious that Naughty Dog was phenomenal with the Uncharted series from beginning to end but let their biggest title slip this hard. The only redeeming quality is some of the gameplay is pretty fun but even then its pretty bland and uninspired. Im deleting the game and never playing it again and I hope many people will read this and decide to not put themselves through the effort this game takes.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who is normally a fan of Naughty Dog games and of the original Last of Us, I feel this game is a slap in the face. If you enjoyed the first game because of the story, characters and relationships, this game is not for you. Due to some questionable story-line choices, the game feels like a slog to get through and tries to force its players into a middle school ethics class rather than engross us in an enthralling story. The graphics are some of the best this generation, but the game-play rarely features anything innovative and feels like more of the same as the first game. Overall, averaging everything out I would give this game a 5/10 and similar to Game of Thrones season 8 and Star Wars - Rise of Skywalker, this is one sequel that will sorely disappoint even its most loyal fans.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is obviously not a 0, but i am giving it that score to counteract the insane 10 reviews.
    Objectively its 6/10. Lovely graphics, visceral animations, haunting sound design. Gameplay is a bit outdated, but good enough. Story is the main problem... really poor writing. lt feels like a cheap fanfic. Joel's death is simply insane, playing as Abby was mentally exhausting i would've preferred to be able to skip that part (yep, lose 10 hours of the game willingly). Ending is simply nonsensical, you kill over 200 people and yet you do not finish the job? At least they could've given us a choice to kill or not kill that roided up monstrosity.
    This game never happened, Last of Us is a sequel-less title as far as i'm concerned.

    Critic review is full of BS.

    The story is so irrational and illogical that it never attempts to persuade users

    This game spat on the faces of fans who had been waiting for years

    Don't want the production company to talk about GOTY

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First let's get it out of the way: Graphics of the game look fantastic. Without a doubt this a great looking game...but that's it. The game story line just plain sucks. I mean it's one thing to kill off Joel but it's another when you have to take control of the character who kills off one of the best characters around, That to me is one of the dumbest decisions. And of course the ending is just complete **** The entire game was based on the fact that this is all about revenge and yet for some reason at the end after Abby kills Ellie's father figure and some friends and bites of Ellie's fingers all of a sudden revenge doesn't come into play And its all about forgiveness? Basically there's no payoff, you don't get revenge for Joel. Yes stupid move naughty dog. And let's also talk about the fact that naughty dog lied to its fans. In the trailers we see Joel and Ellie interact In certain times but instead when the games out now it's actually Ellie and Jesse or flashbacks? And naughty dog and Laura Bailey and all these people that are supporting the game are wondering why fans are upset? Yeah this is not a good game this has so many issues the story was a mess, and the best character of the whole last of us universe gets killed it within 2 hours Yes the reason why this gets a 3 out of 10 for me is because the graphics are great and that's it everything else sucks.… Expand

    Story has ruined everything. if you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, this game is brutal. After playing the first the last of us, i thought I would never play a game at the same level. How wrong was I. The game has breathtaking graphics ("you´re breathtaking") and a fluid gameplay. The game is not fun, it´s not supposed to be. That´s what some people don´t realise. The game shows us how cruel the reality is. Not everything happens the way people want and people that you love die. This game is a search for revenge and what a person can do to get it. I love Ellie, but the reality is that she is not the same Ellie we knew. She killed everyone in her way, including Abby´s best friends. And even though she killed them, Abby let her and Dina go. And she went after her again leaving everything behind. The ending was very emotional, when Ellie let Abby go, we saw a little bit of hope, we saw Ellie as a human and not as the cruel thing she had become. In the end we see the Ellie again leaving the farm with a unknown path, leaving the possibility of a The last os us Part 3. I have hope. The Last of Us 2 is the best game i have ever played.… 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.
