    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be quick, I was excited to play this game and the skill trees and gameplay mixed with the brutal combat did bring some enjoyment to the game.. however the story completely destroys what the game could have been, none of the characters act the way they should and it seems like the creator wanted to make the game shocking just to be shocking. From Joel dying in the very of the beginning of the game in a way contrary to the way we all know he acts, to Ellie going on a long revenge hunt to not even get revenge and leaving the game feeling empty and full of holes. I wont ruin any more than that if you want to play it you should but lower your standards, I'd honestly wait for a sale… Expand

    An interesting second chapter to follow up what is one of my favorite games of all time. All of the characters were compelling and kept me interested, even as the story tool dark twist and turns.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Treats all the characters you loved like trash. By the end of the game, Joel has been tortured to death, Tommy has become crippled and divorced, and Ellie loses 2 fingers and everyone she ever loved. Whatever hope and optimism you had from the first game was ruthlessly trampled. It's a cruel and nihilistic game and not worth your time as a fan.

    Also Abby sucks.    … Expand

    Nothing but tragedy porn with none of the bright spots or the catharsis of the original.

    Save yourself the trouble and money and just watch the flashback scenes on youtube. They're the only part of the game worth seeing

    A game that uses advertising fraud to deceive people and fans.
    Disrespecting the previous work, the writer self-righteously screwed up a great work.

    Es el mejor juego que e jugado en mucho tiempo, creo que soy de las pocas personas que logro entender a la perfección el titulo y el por que de las cosas, soy una persona critica y debo admitir que este juego es un 10 de 10. si alguien tiene ps4 esta casi en la obligación de probar este titulo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 2 is for the pretty awesome environment design. Other than that this game is terrible and here is why: It took me 21 hours to complete the game. It would have taken me longer if I had fully explored everything however, after awhile the gameplay became tedious and repetitive so I just ran through the story to get it over with. The gameplay itself hasn't changed much if at all compared to the first one but that isn't a major issue to me because I play for the story... And the story was terrible! No character development whatsoever, I felt nothing for most of the characters and the whole plot of 'revenge is bad but Abby can have revenge' is **** You telling me I can travel across the country killing stacks of people to find abby to decide at the end that revenge is bad? Honestly I wish I never played this game, it destroyed TLOU for me. There are many more things I despise about this game but honestly it hurts to talk about it. I waited 7 years for this? I wish I had seen the leaks so I didnt buy this crap.… Expand

    It was interesting to see multiple perspectives. I was happy to see more representation of marginalized groups in a very tasteful way. You really felt for all the characters.

    This game isn't even bad...I don't really know people with what psyche could play it and after all say that it is a masterpiece. I played first part because of story.Graphic and gameplay are not not such important for me.But in the second part not only story but gameplay is absent.Who could write it?So many plot holes..To say I'm disappointed means nothing to say.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some of the worst writing I've ever in a VG. Forces a relationship down your throat that is nothing more than a clingy one night stand, why should I care about this relationship when it starts from that and she only decides to join out of the blue on your revenge world tour. Best moments are with Joel, but you can save an entire game with a few small little moments. Pacing was terrible. Music forgetable. Abby's portion of the game, while a brave choice and understandable, last too long and was ultimately a pain to play through. Nothing more than a cashcow for the platform to end successfully on. Wasn't needed and is nothing more than a golf club to the franchise.… Expand

    I mean wtf is going on here? Lesb***s? Triangle love? WTF Naughty Dog. The last game was known for its character development and emotion, not for graphics or whatever. This game has too many time jumps and flashbacks. They completely messed up the whole story. I'm giving this 2 outta 10 for the hard work they've done so far.

    Good Graphics, scenarios look amazing
    Decent Game play, gives some tweeks from the style of the first game
    Terrible Story, pretty much spits on the character growth from the part 1

Even I will admit this wasnt the direction I was expecting or was prepared for going into the game, the first game has and always will have a special place in my heart because ive always considered it my favorite game of all time due to reasons that are intangible.. The relationship between joel and Ellie was the defining part of that experience, and of course Joel's arc.. As hard as it might be the ramifications from the first game were obvious! it may not be the sequel "we" wanted but its the sequel that both the series and the fans, if they truly were that, deserved.. Never has an experience game, movie, or book so effortlessly and effectively immersed you and grounded you in a way that truly makes you feel like you are taking an active part in actions that are both in and out of your control, and how that makes you feel as the story transpires is so unique. I really dont want to say much because as a fan I stayed away from ALL spoilers before experiencing it for myself, and if you can do that you will truly be blown away by the experience and adventure this game takes you on. The writing and performances are flawless, genuinely flawless and characters are incredibly and perfectly flawed.. It makes you think about characters, choices and their ramifications long after its over in a way that can only be experienced first hand.. If I had to pick one theme for this game both in and out, its perspective, which is powerful considering the hate this game has been getting for reasons I can't explain.. I'm not saying its perfect, and if you dont like it after properly playing and experiencing it for yourself, I can see how it wont be for everyone, it surely cant be..but to the people hating cuz of gender, plot they haven't experienced and homophobia, **** you! if you had a braincell in your peanut you'd come up with your own story and characters if you felt that strongly about it, piss stains.Thank you Neil and team.… Expand

    I played this game open minded (without seeing leaks or spoilers) and this game played with me.
    I encourage you to do likewise with this seminal work and make up your own mind.
    You will be moved in unpredictable ways: perhaps love or hate (as evidenced by the polarized review scores) or a range of feelings in between but you can't ignore it because it will leave you thinking about it and    I played this game open minded (without seeing leaks or spoilers) and this game played with me.

    Ruined a game that didn't need a sequel, just to pander to the media.
    Ruined characters like Joel and Ellie, just to pander to the media.
    Did so many things, just to pander to the media.
    How disappointing, and Naughty Dog used to be my favorite company.

Joel’s death did create a lot of hate towards this game, but this just shows how how well people naughty dog has immersed its players into this story, Nonetheless... I did not like what happened to Ellie, I have found the moment of her being unable to play Joel’s song too much, she did lose herself like Joel’s song said ‘If I were ever to lose you, I’d surely lose myself’.… Expand

    fantastic game, well done Naughty Dog. You guys come through at all times since the Uncharted series. Loved how you shook it up for a truely desirable story that does not follow traditional story telling for the weak minded people out there who bashed this game. Way to leave it open for a possible trilogy.

    Amazing gameplay with a ridiculous story and plot twists. Just one bad decision comes after another bad decision. This game tries to deliver its simple message so hard and uses such cheap ways to do it, that all the game suffers from it. It's not the worst game but definitely my biggest disappointment of the decade, and of my whole life maybe...

    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]
