    A near perfect game with a flawed pacing, but a good story overall. A true emotional rollercoaster and undoubtedly undeserving of all the flak it's getting!

    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 loved this game from the beginning until the very end. The storyline is pretty impressive and the whole experience is like an emotional roller coaster. I admire game developers for representing LGBT in a such deep way - not just showing one kiss or something but actually letting us see the dynamic between two characters at different stages of their relationship.

My heart was broken so many times but that's what makes the game experience a REAL thing. I really hope that there is going to be part III. Expand

    Absolutely beautiful game in every aspect. Same engaging gameplay from the first title with some minor additions and changes.

The writing is grippingly intricate and poignant; presenting a deep look into the lives, humanities and motivations of a diverse cast of characters struggling to survive and to do what they think is right. Major themes of revenge, forgiveness, xenophobia, and how we honour people we've lost are all touchingly illustrated with resonant metaphors that rival literary classics from authors like Hemmingway or Austen. Everything about the technical presentation from graphics to sound design to lighting to score, et cetera are all fantastic. My only hesitation about giving it a 10 is the lack of the Factions MP from the first game, but Naughty Dog has stated that they intend to release it separately. If you liked the first game and you're not some chud loser who cries about lgbt+ representation in media, you'll love this one too. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a honest review.
    I've only finished the game a month after its release and I'm blown away. Since the end of the first game I always wondered which consequences awaited our beloved Joel and I honestly you've hated if he faced none, no matter how much he meant for gamers.
    The idea of making us play with the game's "antagonist" was brilliant. By the end of it I can say that Abby and her crew were my favourite part of the game. The writing and cast storytelling it's nothing but perfection. People like me who get to watch a lot of movies, read a lot of books and of course, play as many games as you can, we get to a point where a generic storytelling can ruin the whole experience. This game it's a step above, it's one of those that haters will look at in 10 years time and wish they weren't that stupid, same today we know about the hate The Empire Strikes Back faced on its release, and many other examples.
    The creators managed to create a 30+ memorable cast, locations and sequences. They all look simple and straightforward, complex but not complicated, the right mix to make something unforgettable.
    I haven't even mentioned the game itself, it's mechanics. It has the best "awareness indicator" I've seen to date. You can customise it to your liking. I personally had the game's main core on survivor but my allies on very light, which made them very helpful. I played the game the way I wanted.
    I have 2 complaints ; firstly, your character tends to get into areas where they don't know if there's an exit. And secondly, in some wide areas, enemies there are just over a fence fail the listen the gunshots from your current battle, that's all I have to complain about the game.

    This game is really amazing but is not fun to play. It is heartbraking and emotionally deep experience. You really get to feel what ellie feels. I am hoping for a part 3 where ellie will finally find peace hopefully.

    This game is a piece of art. It's sad to see so many small-minded people get angry for certain plot points or the fact that women play a large role in this game. Gender or sexuality is not important, but the fact that the game is awesome is all that matters. Great continuation of the first game, truly a masterpiece.

    This is the best game I have ever played and that's saying a lot. I'm an avid gamer but The Last of Us II breaks the mold and pushes gaming into the future. With all of the hype I was prepared to be disappointed but, to my great and pleasant surprise, it was a better game than I ever could have hoped. Thank you, Naughty Dog, for leading the way and showing other game developers how it's done.

Jogo com uma trama bem desenvolvida a não pelo começo, com a morte do Joel, mas a história em si e muito bem feita, cujos personagem de Ellie e Abby são antagonista ou protagonistas de suas próprias histórias, e não podia ter onde se anulassem, seja com um perdão o com a morte de ambas, mas nada disse seria pior do que aconteceu em suas vidas onde o vencedor na verdade não ganharia nada. Já em termos técnico foi perfeitamente executado e os planos onde a trama se desenvolve através das cutscene proporam emoções junto com os diálogos de cada personagem de forma coerente, mostrando a personalidade de cada personagem nós fazendo apegar com cada. Parabéns nauthy dog. Expand

    As for game-play: very enjoyable. Improved on the first game. The graphics are one of the best on this console generation. And the performance of the actors is superb. Excellent work.

    There are many fake reviews which is very unfortunate. I hope Naughtydog keeps on making stories THEY want to tell. Not the mainstream audience. Please don't spoil the story for your self, but experience it and give it a chance.

    Gameplay was fun overall, but the story was a let down. If I wanted reality, Id turn off the game and watch tv and live my life.

    The best story i have ever experienced.
    There is nothing that gets closer to this game.
    It is a masterpiece.
    It takes a art view, it not tries to deliver something to please the audience, and nailed it.
    The minds behind this work of art did not chose the easy way, but the hardest possible.
    People that are complaining didn't play or don't have heart/feelings.

    A game ahead of its time in a lot of aspects - it's not a video game in a traditional sense, especially from story telling and character building so I can understand the criticism. But to me, one has to be really open-minded to see the true beauty of it.

    The last of us part 2 has amazing graphics, but that was something I didn’t doubt ND would get wrong. IT LOOKS GOOD! Voice acting phenomenal and as well the soundtrack the soundtrack. The gameplay is fun with Ellie and Abby. It’s just the word (Disappointing) is what comes to mind when I think about how the story was told and well yea 5/10.

    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]
