    Really enjoyed the game, it was full of surprises. Glad I didn't read any of the spoilers before playing and made my own opinion of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic game. I can get why people didn’t like the story. I was on the fence at first but grew to love the additional characters and perspective. Overall, a fantastic experience and one I won’t for get for a while. Very thought provoking and a fantastic game!… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is the perfect sequel to the first game, putting you in the midst of an intense plot, with real to life characters, thrilling gameplay, scenery and exploration, immense attention to detail, a beautiful soundtrack and a story that no developer has really dared to take on.

    Naughty Dog has done an incredible job creating a story that we haven't heard before, they took massive risks in order to give us something different and I believe they succeeded.

    Dont believe the review bombers, the game is not even arguably below a 9/10 if you're being critical. Some people just decided to hate the game because the main characters are both women.    … Expand

    Felt more like part two and three. It did drag on a bit. The ending has left me with questions. A very fun game to play. Story wise it wasn't as great as the first but still a good story of where Justice ends and revenge begins.

Action, drama, suspense, you start playing looking for vengeance, but some hours later you understand what happend and why, in the end you get 2 different points of view about the same story, the ending maybe awful for many people but for many others it was PERFECT!! I would love to get a dlc just to know what happened with Abby and Ellie!… Expand

    Sin duda este es un claro ejemplo de cómo no hacer una secuela, estábamos preparados para recibir un juego que no sea tan bueno como su predecesor en cuanto a su historia ya que superar al primer juego sería algo difícil de lograr pero ¿esto? esto es una burla.

O jogo não é só ódio e vingança, ele tbm é sobre amor. Assim como o primeiro foi. O jogo mostra as consequências de seus atos e tbm mostra que não há super-herói, em um mundo pós-apocalíptico. A história e a narrativa são ótimos.… Expand

When you arrive in Seattle you use a map which at first is a little annoying but you’ll get used to it (you only use for about an hour or so), 3. The clickers, the can somehow spot you even if you’re not moving and that can be annoying at times. Let’s talk about the things I like, 1. The story, it’s starts off kinda boring but once a major event happens it starts to pick up, 2. The crafting system, while it’s not what I’m used too it still does it’s job, 3. The enemies, instead of your normal clickers, runners, and bloaters there’s also shambles and stalkers the two new zombie types are really fun and it adds a bit more of a challenge. In the game you’re introduced to two new factions the WLF (Washington Liberation Front) and the scars, the WLF is like the military and can be very challenging at times and the scars they’re not bad I just came across them not too long ago but they were easy to kill. If you’re cautious about buying this game I highly recommend it I've played a lot of games with good stories and this one is the second best. It’s a great game and I think you’ll enjoy spending time with the character (Ellie) that you grew to love in The Last of Us part 1.… Expand

    The negative reviews of this game can only be disingenuous. Just because you don't like a story line or the themes explored, cannot warrant you giving the game ridiculously low scores.

Maybe ellie should have had some more time ? I don't know maybe chapters vs halves would have worked better and gone back and forth. I don't know. But I do know I loved both games. I do know it was intensely fun. I only give it a 9 because it wasn't flawless. But God was it so close. Give me an endless horde mode or something and it's a 10, because I don't have to stop playing… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Doesn't deserve the flak it got.
    Why people didn't like it and my refute:

    -"Ellie changed too much". Who has the same personality when they were 14 as they did when they were 19, not accounting for trauma and PTSD and what that does to a person (and puberty).
    -"The Death of _____ was done in a poor/un-heroic manner". The truth hurts and so does reality. This game was meant to be a Grimm parallel to if this was reality. Nobody is immune to death and that's what makes it great. The early death in this game prepares you and gives you that underlying feeling that anyone could die at any moment. There are no beloved protagonists in reality and nobody is immune to dying in the most stupid ways possible. If I was in the apocalypse I would probably make it to day 50 before ripping off a hangnail and dying of blood-loss or something ridiculously stupid like that (I know it's not really possible, it's an analogy), and that's reality.
    - The Story sucks. This is the most widespread criticism and one that I can't refute nor confirm. After playing through the game twice, I honestly loved the story. There are flaws as with any game but liking or hating the story is a matter of opinion. I, like most, hated Abby with every fiber of my being- even after playing her for a few hours! It wasn't until the end of Abby's playthrough that I realized I actually started to empathize with her which brings and inner-conflict to the player that I can appreciate.
    - "SJWs agenda/Ellie is gay so the game is bad". Get over yourselves.    … Expand

    I'm giving it a 9 because the game was excellent. But at the same time, my disappontment rating is 10. Ellie and Joel are what makes TLOU and their parts together in this game are too far and few between. I.agine if the entire game had revolved around those two characters.

    One of my favorite experiences of this entire generation of games. Takes all of the most interesting elements and decisions of the first and builds on and gives them consequences and weight. Excellent gameplay and set pieces combined with an interesting and harrowing story.

    Definitely a game worth experiencing for yourself!

    I absolutely LOVED this game! I laughed at times, I was shocked at times, I cried at times. I was invested in this game wholeheartedly with the characters, the gameplay, the environment and the story. One of the best experiences i've had playing a game. This game and the first are Masterpieces in my eyes.

    The top art and music performance in the game industry, with the ultimate in detail. But all this is ruined by the disgusting script and the anti-player game experience. I am not particularly angry, but I feel it is a pity.

    I absolutely loved it. The chapters could have been structured differently to improve on the pacing. Besides that, graphics, gameplay and story were all great. Unexpectedly, I cared more for Abby in the end than I did Ellie.

    Fantastic game. Story, game-play, tension during fights, graphics, characters etc. I love it and does not deserve all that hate. I am huge PlayStation fan but I am not positive with a game if it is bad, would be hypocrisy of me. So I recommended!
    PS: I liked that they come up with something different, something that nobody would expect. I like this in every franchise.

    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]
