    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I saw the user score at first I thought it was review bombing. I played the game, the graphics and animations are the best I’ve ever seen in a video game. The story is the worst, it is like they dumbed down the characters we love from the first one. The plot armors are countless to keep some characters alive and kill some characters off pointlessly to steer the story the way they want to term the story as unpredictable or bold. You can see where the story is going and why Joel was killed right from the start because he was talking about that incident at the start of the game with Tommy. The story was not interesting. Not to mention it is false advertising by showing Joel and replaced him with Jesse in the game. Ellie killed hundreds of people to get to Abby then unable to kill her because revenge is bad? Well, she killed tons already, why not kill her too that’s the one responsible. This game sucks.… Expand

    The Last of Us 2, where do I even begin. The game is breathtakingly beautiful. The story isn't necessarily new but, that's not a bad thing. Some aspects of the game seem forced, especially near the end (when we play as Abby/Ellie in Cali). However, that doesn't take away from the experience. It's a masterpiece.

    Gameplay has updated and is amazing. Story is deep and complicated. Very bold choice and luckily I was barely spoiled. Game is a bit long in areas but I see where they were going. Has given me the most thought provoking game in awhile.

    Game is 10/10 to be honest. They showed a lot of cruelty and overall that revenge is bad option for both sides. Every person losing something important cause of that. Really hard story to understand but if you feel it so deeply and if you are focus enough you're able to face this amazing masterpiece in a good way.

    Никогда раньше не оценивал игры, думал это субъективщина, но тут я просто не могу молчать. Нил Дракман осквернил всё из первой части. Ощущения после прохождения это лютая злость и ненависть к сценаристам. Эта игра просто не должна была появляться. Самый нелогичный и отвратительный сюжет, который я когда-либо видел.Никогда раньше не оценивал игры, думал это субъективщина, но тут я просто не могу молчать.

    Es realmente desesperante y frustrante despúes de terminar el título, jugando al rededor de 40 horas, y más que el tiempo que le he dedicado; el cuál llega a sentirse como una perdida, es la forma en como el director maltrata, daña y mutila a los personajes, a la historia y al título.

    Gameplay es muy bueno, gráficamente de lo mejor, sonido , ambientación, pero todo eso se va al carajo por la historia, el cual es el apartado más importante de este título en particular, esté que es un secuela directa a uno de los mejores títulos de la historia y aún analizando The Last of Us part II cómo un título ajeno al primero , e independiente sigue careciendo de sentido y mal planteado.

    This has been one of the best video game experience I got in the past 30 years.
    It's raw, it's upsetting, it's sad.
    There's anger and confusion, every topic is spot on. The level design is supporting the whole plot and makes it even more intense.
    Naughty Dog did an amazing job and I'm glad it took this long to come out. Product is finished and close to perfect.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't pay attention to what most people are saying. The Last of us Part 2, is far from a bad game, much less a game with 3/4 notes.

    I understand people's indignation about this game, but that's no reason to say the game is bad, because it's not. People confuse quality with personal taste and that's a big mistake.

    In general, the thing that most revolted the fans was 3 aspects: The death of Joel; The character "Abby" and the fact that we have to play with it, and the end of the game. All of them understandable, but not justifiable from so much hate. The purpose of a game is to have fun with it, right? Generally speaking, yes, because what's the point of me doing something that doesn't bring me any benefit? But this game is different. This game brings a narrative that no other game has ever brought, it's a cold and depressing story, where it shows us that "Revenge is a game for fools".

    Joel's death is something very shocking, yes, capable of being one of the saddest moments in the history of games, but we have to take into consideration that it's not the protagonism that will save a character's skin. If we didn't want Joel to die? Of course we would. But the last of us already has a whole narrative prepared and we can't change that unfortunately.

    About the character Abby, many said they had no empathy with her during the whole game, even after they knew it was Joel who killed her father. And that's completely normal, and I realise it can be frustrating to play with her, but the game doesn't make you like the character. You don't have to just agree to understand. You can say that the fact that her father was one of the surgeons who operated on Ellie is cliché and a weak point in the game script. I completely disagree, "Abby" is important to show the 2 sides of the coin, 2 different points of view, 2 different lives. Abby is not the villain of the game and never will be, as well as Ellie, only each one has their motivations and their reasons to practice such acts during the game.

    Finally the final, which I personally didn't think was brilliant or perfect either, but it's not bad either. The ending shows us that nothing Ellie did was worth it, Dina left her, she's now alone, far from home and completely aimless in life. She lost 2 fingers, which makes her lose Joel's only legacy which was playing guitar and also makes her not be able to draw anymore (something she was very good at and liked to do). It's a tragic and very sad ending but it gives us a moral lesson that is, never too much to say that we love a person, sometimes a simple hug would make all the difference. Instead we prefer to keep our feelings to ourselves and be proud. The fact that Ellie didn't kill Abby was because she wouldn't be happy about it, Abby's death wouldn't fill that void and stop her from having that trauma, which is done, is done. At least Ellie saw a little hope in Abby with Lev in the end, which she couldn't have with Joel, unfortunately, and that she didn't want to take from Abby.

    In conclusion, I'm not saying this game is perfect in terms of history because it's not. The first game is still a thousand times superior. What's really perfect about this game is the gameplay itself and the innovations they've given since the first game. And just for that, the game already deserved more than 3 or 4 marks.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this game was a master piece and just as good as the first one. I love how it plays with morality and as it set me out on a quest for revenge I wanted whole hearted to take down Abby and avenge Joel.

    However once I steped in Abbys shoes I was not only blow away by the fact that they are a mirror of each other but also the fact that Naughty Dog made me side more with a character that was just introduced as the villa, over the main protagonist of the previous 2 games.

    Abby as a character is strong both physically and morally but she is also very much so human, she has fears, impulses and failures but they all add up to make what I would consider a perfect character.

    Loved the game loved the characters and loved the whole broken people in a broken would theme. 10/10    … Expand

They advertised it as being Ellies Adventure, so I expected to Play Ellie for at Least 80-85% of the game, but instead IT was more only like 60% which just isnt enough. However the graphics is the best in this console generation. Hands down. And the new so is phenomenal. The new ai is just so impressive and the gameplay is fantastic.… Expand

    But for me, it is the best part, at first when we were given to control Abby. But this is the beauty that you've to journey along with the person you hate and see her emotions, see her getting peace because hate is not the solution (which she thought she will get after killing Joel. The peace she achieved and the peace Ellie achieved in the end were similar. For me, it was a beautiful story.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of the first game, this has to be the most disappointing sequel I have ever played.
    This story uses the nostalgia of the first game to set an emotional tone for a story which has no relation to the first. Despite seeming to presume Joel was morally wrong at the end of the first game (which I do not!) the vaccine or cure has no impact on events, much like everything else from the first game. Instead, the new character of Abby, has the whole first game shoved as a simple backdrop to her motivations, and is desperately painted as a sympathetic character. Not only does her child murdering father save a zebra (awww) but she likes dogs too (awwwwwwww), but none of this is going to make anyone who liked Joel, think this justifies his murder. The murder, in trying to be gritty, misses key story telling and character opportunities, and signals the poorly thought out story which continues for far too long into this game. The story, a fumbled attempt at a 'revenge is bad' story, fails to understand human nature, basic philosophy (let alone theology) and so unwittingly spirals into a nihilistic mess, which by its very definition leaves you with nothing of true meaning at the end. The story of the first game had both strong male and female characters, the sequel discards both and finishes with nothing. Even Dina, introduced in the original's DLC, and seeming to have a strong role at the start of the sequel, is ploughed over by the Abby narrative, underdeveloped until she quietly leaves unseen. The game tries instead to make you care about a new cast of cliched and shallow characters. A pregnant fighter, an aquarium loving simp, faceless people who now all have names, but no personality are what we are given. It seems the apocalyptic world lacks its vikings, genghis khans, and bundys. That might be a bit dark for a game? Maybe, but that is precisely the tone this game thinks it is giving, but in truth shows a very shallow understanding of... well anything. The clickers, surely the best part, are thrown in from time to time, but are seperate from meaningful attachment to story.
    The game play is disappointingly similar to the original, and the added stealth and jumping make very little difference (when people are cheering rope physics, alarm bells should ring!). The game does have its great moments and the graphics are very good (although overrated). These two points would give it a higher rating, 4/10 maybe, but what took away from my enjoyment of the game while playing let alone replayability, was the accusations online from journalists and developers themselves that I had not played the game, or was prejudice, or was a russian asset. Followed by the striking down of reviews online, in order to push the game, and the false advertising from the trailers, which had me pre-order (Do you think I'd let you do this alone?....yes, you're dead, I am doing the next 30 hours without you). The 10/10 reviews are ridiculous, and have signalled the death of gaming journalism . On top of that Niel Druckmann is just insufferable, and his narrow minded conceited tweets have not only put me off this game but also the original and any sequel planned. It will be interesting to see if metacritic remove this review or not. The reviews reflect a very angry fanbase, and lack of understanding, let alone sympathy, will be the downfall of Naughty Dog. Many of the fans fawning over it as a 10/10, I can only assume never understood the first game properly. Instead they are fair weather fans, applauding (or crying over) whatever new release they can join the club of, and tossing the old one to the side.
    If Sony and Naughty Dog do not view this as a disastrous step for them, both in terms of the game, and how they have handled criticism/marketing, then their future will come crashing down as the destroy all the franchises they worked hard to build, and the old fans will cheer and the fair weather fans will already have moved on.
    0/10

    Finally, play the guitar left handed you idiot, or play it 3 fingered like Django Reinhardt (The World Famous 3 fingered guitarist!!)!! This 'poignant' ending is shockingly dumb, nihilistic, and rather pathetic. If you want a good story about revenge and its effects, read the Count of Monte Cristo.    … Expand

    We, incel / betas, are already excluded from society and we can't enjoy a normal life. So video games are our only refuge. Why do you globalists think we will ever support your political agenda?

    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.
