I think the game is really emotive, I did liked it, the story is really good, the ending was bitter, Ellie pays a lot, it has some story flaws and some deus ex machina, but, I do understand why is this, besides those flaws on the story telling, I think the narrative is really good and the gameplay was superb, I didn't like to play as Abby since she was the antagonist, but, besides that, I think that the Abby's story is great, because this wants to say that no one is absolutely good nor bad, and the game shows the destructive cycle of revenge and how it can destroy someone that does not wants to let it go, I liked how smooth the gameplay is and how immersive it is, also, I liked how the game mechanics is so sweet that you can use your own imagination on how you want to confront the enemies, I really liked that is not so stealthy like the first one, it contains some action scenes that are awesome, I really liked the ending because it is bitter and close Ellie's and Joel's story, I can't wait to play it by 2nd time with more detail, I do recommend to play it until the end and analyze carefully the story after finishes it, because, I don't think that people who didn't finishes the game nor analyze it carefully may has a more accurate opinion, I really recommend to give it a chance… Expand

    As a fan of the first game, I must say im disappointed in the game and I expected a lot better from a game that took years and years to make. The main downfall of the game is the story, compared to the first game this story is a joke. There is still some good moments that I enjoyed. The first half of the game is okay, but the second half is stupid, I won't spoil but they force us to playAs a fan of the first game, I must say im disappointed in the game and I expected a lot better from a game that took years and years to make. The main downfall of the game is the story, compared to the first game this story is a joke. There is still some good moments that I enjoyed. The first half of the game is okay, but the second half is stupid, I won't spoil but they force us to play like 10 hours as a character that no one gives a **** about and I would say that's the worse part of the story. Now if you completly ignore the storyline and just focus on the gameplay, the game is really good on that point, its like the first game but 5 times better and the amazing amount of little details shows how much love has been put on this game. I just wish the storyline would not be garbage. Hey but who knows? Maybe Naughty Dog can still redeem themselves with a dlc? Or even a better version of factions multiplayer from the first game...

    Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention how naughty dog lied to us in the trailers, if you expect the game to be like we see it in the trailers then you will be disappointed... Just know that Joel is not gonna have as a important role in the game as they made us think in the trailers.

    I don't think I would recommand it but at least the game is not completely bad.    … Expand

    I'll start of by saying I've never done a review on a game, but I couldn't stay quiet on this one. There's plenty of reviews on The Last of Us Part 2 that say what's wrong with the game so I won't go into detail, but I will say that I will personally boycott Naughty Dog what a waste of money. People who claim other people are intolerant because they say there was an agenda at play here are either blind or naive of course there was an agenda here. The last of us part 1 was the reason I decided to purchase the 2nd part and I didn't read into the reviews, what a mistake that was. Next time I will trust the reviews "Gamers" add and forget about company's that are paid off to spew lies. Forgetting the whole agenda thing the story was completely ridiculous why Naughty Dog would take the player through a rollercoaster of nonsense is beyond me. Ah 2020 what a year, World War 3 almost starts Covid, police brutally, idiots trying to dismantle every police force, the koalas, and the death of The Last of Us.

    ****KIND OF A SPOILER BUT NOT REALLY**** One example of a ridiculous story Story line

    Why a pregnant woman would decide to go to a known warzone is beyond me, and when she's asked what the baby daddy will say she basically replies we'll he's not the boss of me and I'll go anyways.

    The game was a complete bad performance of writing and certainly a lack of ability in telling an interesting history, the intention was not bad, the execution was a disaster.

    Game story is terrible, the graphics and animations are very good, but they are not worth it in the end. I feel like this entire franchise has been ruined by this release, also I feel like Naughty Dog falsely advertised what the story is going to about, that's why I'm giving it a 4.

    An outstanding achievement in world design, technical flair, and performances. Gorgeously rendered environments, tight and gripping gunplay, and voice acting and mocap second to none. The negative reviews you see here are from manbabies who can't handle a little complexity in their narrative.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics of this game are amazing. Technically, the game is excellent. You will find too few bugs if any. However, the characters and the story, which were the most important part of the first TLOU, are killed or damaged beyond the point of recovery. A disgusting sensation of unsatisfaction and depression is felt since the beginning and during the entire game. It feels endless due to the mentioned sensations as well as the actual and unnecessary length of the tortuous plot.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is like baking the perfect cake then taking the biggest **** on top. When I say this, I mean that the perfect cake is the graphics and gameplay. The **** that sits on top of that cake is the story and the characters. Whoever wrote this **** on top of the cake should be ashamed for not even looking at the masterpiece that was The last of us. A simple game about a mission of delivering a girl who you grow attached to. The last of us 2 says hey remember the plot of the first game? well this game is all about revenge! put on your backpack and take your pregnant useless girlfriend.

    Ellie: Remember Ellie? Of course you do. well now she is 18-21 has a tattoo for some reason in an apocalypse. Ellie likes this girl Dina for some reason, apparently, they kissed once. we don't get to see it though until 10 minutes before the game is done. I can see why some people are surprised that Ellie is a lesbian but that is not my problem with it. My problem is that we are to believe that Ellie and Dina loves each other when all we see is one time when they are in a basement smoking weed, they scissor off-screen “remember that off-screen part for when I get to Abby” The writers of this has never heard of show don't tell before. After playing for a bit they start calling each other babe. That is so cringe. You have played the game for 1 hour but and they have been together for 10 minutes of that and they are calling each other babe.
    Joel: Abby comes and kills him after Joel and Tommy saves her life like 10 times. The marketing for this game was all about. Hey, look at how old Joel and Ellie is in this game, isn't that amazing. tricking you into thinking that Joel is going to be in this game. In reality all the marketing showing how much older Joel is were just flashbacks.
    Dina: Useless. She is there for two reasons. she is jewish so she teaches Ellie about religion and she is pregnant. Here is what really confused me. Meet Dina, she is most likely the same age as Ellie 18-21. She was obviously born after the apocalypse happened then. She was born in New Mexico... Jackson the town you start in is in Washington. According to google the distance between is 1490 miles, 2398 km. Dina and her sister apparently went to many synagogues. I just don't believe Dina could have been born in New Mexico and end up in Washington.
    Abby: Where does this **** get her protein? why are her arms so massive? they were so huge everyone thought she was a transgender chick with dick. Why is half of the game playing a character that no one wants? Abby is the **** that killed Joel, so you know how much you want to kill yourself the second you get to play as her. I mean the character not you the person. Abby and her friends are a part of a group/militia called WLF short for Washington liberation front or wolf. Abby has a "friend" called Owen he went AWOL or something. Owen is got Mel one of Abby's sort of friend pregnant. But Owen is into women with muscles because at one point in the game Abby goes to Owen after he went AWOL you have a little argument that you don't care about then Abby and Owen start to kiss. You expect it to be just like Ellie and Dina's scissoring session, but no. They go full **** on you. you get to see Abby take of Owen's shirt and Owen takes off Abby's shirt. Abby quickly takes off her bra and you see Abby's boob. Abby is so buff that it honestly looks more like a dude's saggy man pec. Owen then takes Abby puts her on the table pulls down her pants and unbuckles his belt. you then see Owen thrust into Abby 3 times. WHO THE **** LOOKED AT THAT AND SAID, Yes this is what people wants!    … 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]
