    It is a masterpiece — the best I've ever played. Do not look at any scores until you play, only this way you can make up your mind.

    Isnt perfect but its pretty solid, his main flaw its being so messy in the way it show the story, but the gameplay its fun, if you want a better story just play the first one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say that the game narrative is not bad and terrible as so many people say. This game takes you into a rollercoaster of emotions and thoughts. It makes you reflect about diverse themes that the story touches. Many would argue about the end, but I think that it gives you something to reflect about.… Expand

    If you're a fan of Naughty Dog, The Last Of Us, and wanted a sequel, this game doesn't disappoint!! Gameplay is similar to the first with added improvements and better enemy AI. The graphics on the regular PS4 are absolutely GORGEOUS, the environments are extremely unique and varied, and this game is beyond brutal.

    One of my favorite games I have played in a long time. Strong character drama, oozes atmosphere, a very creative game that is unlike anything I have played before. Very much recommended.

    This is by far one of the best narrative driven games of this generation. This game is better than the original in pretty much every way. I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 but it doesn't mean it's without its flaws. However, the emotional impact it will have on you will make you ignore its imperfections. Amazing game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Leveldesign, Cutscenes and Gameplay are as awesome as they were with its predecessor, and the racial diversity and LGBT representation were written so well into the game, that they - for the most part - do not feel overly forced or on the nose, but the good part stops right there. the story is so incredibly flawed that it cannot be more than a four. There are several weird plotholes that made absolutely no sense to me, like joel’s stupidity leading to his death, or the fact that the people hunting joel for ruining the cure don’t take ellie with them to at least try something with her immunity. there has to be more than one doctor alive.
    But the biggest problem ist the arrogant idea to manipulate the player into liking abby by having to play as her for 40 percent of the game. There was no coming back from torturing joel to death after he saved her live. I just straight forward despised her for the whole game and felt disgusted to play her. And the way the tried it was too obvious and so pushy it was kind of insulting to the player. That really ruined the whole game for me.    … Expand

    Este juego es increíble en todos los aspectos. Viendo cada punto de la historia y de diferentes personas. Las personas que lo critican es por que solo ven la muerte de Joel y el final que no hubo una venganza. Y no terminan la historia y no saben las subidas y bajadas de emociones y el guion es bueno pero no perfecto pero es uno de los mejores juegos de todos tiempos como el primer juego.

    Story: 9

    A top contender for GOTY 2020. What sets this game apart from everything else is its story which is of the calibre that classic literature belongs to.

    Our favorite characters from the first game are back: Joel, Ellie, Tommy, and his wife Maria. The vastly talented Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker are back, and joined by the wonderful Laura Bailey, with an intricate, thoughtful story, full of allegory and metaphor, written by Neil Druckmann and Halley Gross.

    This is not a rehash of the same story from the first game. Instead, it is a cautionary tale about revenge and its collateral damage, masterfully weaved between complex, interesting characters, that evokes comparisons to classic literature and film such as True Grit, Wuthering Heights, and Count of Monte Cristo. In the end, you realize the game is less about revenge itself, and more about what it takes to move past, heal, and grow beyond an emotionally traumatic event. This applies individually to multiple characters, not just for Ellie (the main character), and should be compared and contrasted against each other.

    The genre is clearly horror-tragedy, which has not been really seen in video games, especially the tragedy themes. Many players will not be expecting nor used to interpreting the tragic themes that the story offers, and instead opt to calling it "depressing", which albeit true, is rather reductive and ignorant. The Green Mile and the Titanic were film tragedies, but to disregard them as merely depressing films would be incorrect.

    My only criticisms for the story involve pacing issues in 2nd half (but prior to epilogue), and a romance scene that felt sudden and forced. This is a long game, averaging 30 hours of game play to finish, with many storylines involving different characters. If there ever was a "double album" for video games, that would be this game.

    All else, this is a complex, deep story that requires thinking and reflection to fully appreciate. This is not Call of Duty or Super Mario Bros. Players unwilling to reflect and analyze about the events of the story will fail to appreciate the story for its depth and breadth of the human condition. They will argue about plot holes and ridiculous story.

    This is definitely a well crafted story that plays with one's emotions - creating anger, confusion, and conflict in the player at various points in the journey. But it all makes sense when everything comes together in the end.

    9.6/10 rating from me.

    Beware of negative reviews that:
    1) Say phrases such as "my day is ruined" - that phrase belongs in a therapy session, not an honest review
    2) Make comparisons to Star Wars or comic book movies (reviewer is not well-read enough to think of more appropriate comparisons)
    3) Claims the game's story disrespects the player.
    4) Attempt to make comparisons between Neil Druckmann and Hideo Kojima (senseless for a review to argue who is better)
    5) Uses transphobic meme comments such as "It's Ma'am" (not funny anymore guys)
    6) Alleges forced diversity of characters - completely false
    7) Makes blanket statements about atrocious story without explaining why - present in nearly all negative reviews
    8) Have bad grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
    9) Written by individuals who obviously did not play the entire game.    … Expand

    You may not like certain decisions made in the story, but that does not mean its bad. The gameplay is amazing, and the story is intense. Its a dark story in a dark world, but there are beautiful moments throughout. I loved seeing the story from two perspectives. Makes you think and feel conflicting emotions.

    Phenomenal follow up to a game that never needed a sequel. A true test of empathy and innovative long form story telling interlaced with tensing gameplay. Please play it for yourself and experience this work of art. I have so much more to say but will reserve it for the sake of preserving the experience.

The emotional heights the game reached for me are higher than anything I've seen in gaming, but there are times when I was bored and what I was doing felt pointless. But the highs were so worth it in the end. The game was really damn depressing but it also had beautiful moments, and I think those moments were elevated by the contrasting dour elements of the game. Considering all the technical aspects of the game, it surpasses anything I've seen. Not much to be said other than that its a masterpiece in all production elements ranging from the animations teetering on the edge of a truck to Gustavo's score setting the mood during a cutscene. Gameplay became repetitive, but after replaying a bit more with different custom difficulties I found myself enjoying sections of the game just in my free time. My one critique is the same as everyone's, the Abby sections being a bit too long. I just wanted to get through as I never cared for the character as much as Ellie. I understood and empathized with Abby when she was given context but not enough to want to play 8-10 hours of her on what felt largely like sidequests. But when the game returns to Ellie's perspective, the game reached its high point.

    The themes are so many more than just revenge. The game personally hit me with thoughts about forgiveness, regret, moving on from things we can't change, but most of all, appreciating the good things we have, because they don't last forever. And when they do leave us, we just need to learn, believe in ourselves and bet that future days will be better.

    For me, the game was a 4 act structure, or at least was easy to talk about that way. There is Jackson Intro, Ellie Seattle, Abby Seattle, and the end. Each of these were so different I could rate them individually. Jackson was a 9 and could have been higher if it was longer, Ellie's Seattle was probably an 8 as it dragged on a bit, Abby's Seattle was a 7 because it basically had the same issues as Ellie's Seattle but with less emotional connection to the characters, and the ending being a strong 10. I think a 9 is a good rating based off of my experience.    … Expand

    I completed the TLOU2 a few days ago. I loved the story and I love the improvements to the gameplay. I would've preferred had some things not played out the way they did. But on the flip side, I can appreciate that someone or a group made the game they wanted... No matter what the public may have wanted. I recommend playing the game to completion and then judging.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the greatest games I’ve ever played aside from the first TLOU. It shows a different side to Ellie and aren’t any real “good and bad guys”. I think Naughty Dog could have flowed the game a little better by maybe showing Joel killing Abbeys father before Abbey shows up in Jackson and kills him to make us feel more sympathy towards Abbey but instead they killed Joel first then told Abbey's story. After she kills Joel, we automatically hate her and the rest of the former fireflies that are there and no matter what there backstory was, we won’t forgive them.… Expand

    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.
