    I will find haters and kill last one of them. If you hate the story( in my opinion 10/10) everything else is 10/10. So 1/10 notes are just jokes

    Loved the game, felt like a movie, didn’t feel right killing Joel, but maybe it was the best for the game to keep a story, also loved the fact that might be a part 3

    Fantastic, emotional, at times difficult story, with great, relatable character growth, and great voice acting. Amazing level design, and some of the best visuals available this generation of consoles. Gameplay has been improved from the original game, and while it's nothing groundbreaking in the genre, it's still very solid and enjoyable.

    Excelente historia, compleja, requiere madurez para vivirla, muestra distintos puntos de vista, genera emociones encontradas, no gusta en muchos casos, pero eso no quita que este bien elaborada. Excelentes gráficos, muy buena jugabilidad. Uno de los mejores juegos del 2020

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful game and well-written. The characters have great banter which makes them feel much more real, and the game emotionally invests you in the protagonists.
    For the nay-sayers that say the story isn't original, so what? Yes it has the arc of an epic tragedy, but just because you see your car is going to crash doesn't mean it won't hurt less. But the story doesn't focus just on revenge, but what comes after, juxtaposing Abby's redemption and trying to find a purpose in the face of grief and loss.

    To that that think the ending doesn't make sense/is anticlimatic, etc- rewatch the final scene with Joel, understanding the implications of his actions, and Ellie's response, and its implications for Ellie and Abby.    … Expand

    To rate this game lower than 5 is ridiculous. If game of thrones kill loved characters it’s fine but Lou2 gets slammed as bad story. The game was made to be thought provoking and it certainly did that for me. Anger leads to anger, hate breeds hate and as I’m currently playing my second playthrough I find myself wanting to get to the second portion of the game again. Knowing what I know now I want to enjoy Abbys story more. On my first playthrough I rushed, gave her less time and struggled to empathise her story due to the anger felt towards her. I don’t feel that anymore. The ending, wasn’t what I’d have wanted to see but still powerful enough and during the final fight every punch I swung gave me less and less enjoyment and satisfaction. Ellie struggling to play guitar which is in the end the best way to keep her connected to Joel’s spirit is tainted.    … Expand

    The game is **** amazing, not for dumb heads who picture joel their father figure, what can you expect of them. But the game has a very cool narrative to it. I am not talking about the LGBTQ angle which i don't appreciate much because it was a little overdone once abby’s part start, but they built a great story for abby and made the player uncomfortable by making them come to terms withThe game is **** amazing, not for dumb heads who picture joel their father figure, what can you expect of them.

    This game had a rating of 2.6 with 40000 votes within the fir 24 hours which is not possible because the playthrough took about 24-25 hours and youtube channels like geeks and gamers are making this game as issue due to DMCA claims, thats also fine but atleast target the entire issue and not just this game because they striked your channel, thats grudge that you hold and having more than half a million people watching him cry online about the DMCA and other youtubers made 40-50k negative review bombardment. Verdict - Game has a great storytelling, could have avoided the timeline touch but other than that story makes you leave your controller because your are that much attached to the characters and that is an accomplishment    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awesome game. Not just the story, but everything about it, gameplay, art etc. Don't listen to the bad reviews, they are either haven't even played the game and believed in rumours or just seen the trailers, homophobic or upset because the story did not go to the way they were expecting. Again this game is mind blowing. I just think the critic on this game is unfair. Firstly some based it of the trailer and rumors, without even playing the game first, I was expecting for you to play the game first and say something about it. Well I can tell you as I have finished the game it is a masterpiece, everything is the opposite of what they are saying, it's scarier and in fact more emotional than the first game and a lot darker. And just because you didn't like how the story would go as you expect it to be, it does not mean it is bad. I am upset that Joel died (spoiler alert) but his story was pretty much told in the first game. It would have been repetitive if he was to stay longer but it's still would have been interesting how his character would have progressed. The story did went unexpectedly but I believe it was done on purpose, to basically capture the gamers emotions and give the trilogy a new meaning and direction when Last of Part 3 comes out. If your still upset because of rumors, trailers or because the game went on a different direction, then tough sucks to be you. In fact why don't you apply to Naughty dog, and tell the story you want to be told? In the end the game was still able to tell the story the way they want it to be told and they conveyed it perfectly. In fact I love how it was done unexpectedly, it was shocking in a good way. But too sensitive to some people out there who's tied to the characters of the first game. What a bunch of nitwits.… Expand

    The fact that a story is sad does not mean a story is bad. We did not get the story that we expected but if we accept it for what it is, it is a never before seen experience. The Best graphics and gameplay ever seen this generation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An incredible achievement. This game elevates narrative to a level never reached before, while delivering tense stealth, satisfying combat, rewarding progression, and some terrifying set-pieces. I don’t buy that anyone actually believes this is 0/10. Clearly they only rate it that low because they feel upset by it. Why are they upset? Well ND makes some controversial decisions with the story. Chiefly, Joel is killed early on and many players seem to feel betrayed by this. There are good reasons why this choice works: Joel has been living a more comfortable life after his recovery from injury in TLoU. He is surprised by the ambush at the house, and sure theat is a mistake on his part, but he has walked into ambushes before in TLoU, so there is a precedent for this failure.

    Also, Joel achieved his redemption in TLoU when he saved Ellie, but this action costs him his life. Some reactionaries might not like it, but that story makes sense. They think that SJWs are coming to take away their action heroes, but Joel was never really that. He was just a dad who lost his kid and was broken by the loss.

    Anyway, anyone reading through all these 0/10 ratings should notice that they are all weirdly hostile and aggrieved and not take them seriously. The game is great, and is even better on a second play through.    … 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]
