    Very intense Game. Never seen such good storytelling. Gameplay, Graphics and Sound are also super cool.

    The game is a masterpiece that is way ahead of it's time. People are going to talk about it for years to come. It may not be as good as the original but it breaks boundaries.

Naughty dog has so many great titles with the last of us 1, uncharted and so on, its a hurts to see this is how they think this is the direction for the story. The gameplay is amazing I will grant it that, but at least let us finished what we started with Abby instead of Ellie appearing to be such a weak character, when she lost the fight in Seattle and california. She got off to easy.… Expand

    Naughty dog managed to actually tarnish the good memories I had of part 1. Tragic. They couldn’t help themselves I guess... writing a terrible plot while pushing their identity politics nonsense. The disappointment is like a gut punch. The comparisons to The Last Jedi and GoT Season 8 are warranted. What a disaster for this franchise. It will never recover.

It is a lovingly crafted game with extreme attention to detail and the best facial animation and voice acting ever made in a video game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every game has some minor issues, this is VERY far from the worst game I've ever played, and yes while I believed the decision to play as Abby several times was a most peculiar choice. One that at first I did not completely agree with, but after completing the game, I really do feel for and understand both Ellie and Abbie's perspectives. The gameplay and graphics really stand out 10/10 for that BUT, while some of the story choices can feel odd at times. In the end, I believe Ellie's choice isn't that she forgave Abby it was that killing her wouldn't bring Joel back. Abby having to live with herself knowing what she had done whether she felt remorse or not "probably not". To conclude while this story may not be for everyone. I personally enjoyed it, the emotions in this story really brought me back to the first game, that gut wrenching ending actually felt just right to me, THIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING. It's supposed to be a dark and emotional story and I feel it's almost done perfectly. Thank you.… Expand

I really tried to like the game because i am a big fan of the series but i dont like the story at all and the gameplay is almost exactly the same as the last of us part 1. For me the worst part was the ending, I get you wanted us to learn something from this but I really wanted to see Abby dead and I cant believe Ellie killed so many people just so sche can leave Abby alive. This is just stupid.The only thing that prevented a 1/10 were the graphics. I am going to give it to my friends so they dont have to waste their money on it.… Expand

I get that some people would have wanted to see things play out differently, but Naughty Dog is in control here, not us the players. We are taken on a journey to see how THEIR story plays out. You don't have to like the choices made, but the story is incredibly deep and captivating. I fully admit that I did not want to play as Abby at all. About halfway through her portion of the game, I came to realize that I no longer hated her, even if her actions were deplorable. Just a bunch of regular people in a **** up world with at times broken moral compasses.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand why people are claiming the story is poor. The story is about the horror of vengeance and the loss that comes from it. It is a stirring experience told from opposing viewpoints where both characters are the hero in their story. The writing and acting is excellent.

    There are moments that are extremely difficult to watch but really add to the impact of the games. There were times were I was actually shocked when a character died. I was riveted to the story and completed the game in only a few sittings.

    I do still think the first game is the better of the two. TLoU2 had some pacing issues in the middle of it and probably could have been a little shorter without sacrificing much but overall I really enjoyed the game.    … Expand

    Gameplay 9/10 - Refreshing and Engaging combat, amazing fun exploration never had a moment of bore, just not a 10 because it wasn't perfect and it didn't necesseraily add much to the part 1 gameplay

    Environments and Setting 10/10 - Just perfect, everything is so well done, every section seems differnt and worthwile, made the exploration feel so fluid

    Graphics and Lighting 10/10 - Simply the best I've ever seen in videogames, EVER

    Soundtrack and Audio 10/10 - Just like the first game, it is absolutely perfect, it adds so much to every moment, weahter it's combat, a cutscene, or just exploration, it always brings so much life into the game. Bravo Gustavo, once again.

    Acting 10/10 - It wasn't because of the actors that the story failed, they were just perfect, especially (obviously) Ashley, but Laura Bailey did an amazing job as always

    Narrative 5/10 - First 15 hours were amazing, the 10 hours that followed were a complete mess, I found myself rushing towards the end cause I couldn't give a **** about the story they were trying to tell us.

    (Ending 9/10) - I just simply loved it. I cried so much at the final scene. If it wasn't for the poor execution on the second part of the game, this would be a 10, and the story could easily be 8 or 9. But it isn´t

    Final Thoughts: Although the narrative has issues in its pacing and decisions, this was still one of the best experiences I had with a videogame in a long time (probably since part 1). And even tho the story isn't as good as the first one, the overall experience was worth every second. You just don't find this kindof quality in games often, so you should apreciate Naughty Dog for still investing in these games with engaging and emotive narrative, combining it with oustanding visuals and gameplay

    I want to give it a 9 for all that it did well, but because the story is so important in these kind of games, I can't rate it higher than 8.    … Expand

    This was the worst Naughty Dog game to ever come out. The first game was masterpiece of story telling. This one was a shiny gold dipped turd. Its pretty and the controls are decent but that's where it ends. The game completely fails in the one part a single player game needs to excel and that's the story. I would recommend just not playing this. It would just be a waste of money and time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far from 10 but not a 0.

    I was led to believe by the trailers to expect another story about 2 beloved characters and their relationship, in the end it was not.

    The story strays even further away than the first game from the infected apocalypse setting.
    Not that it was bad on the first game, in reality it was kinda refreshing.
    Putting Ellie and Joel as centerpiece was what led me to love the game.

    Where in this story, despite having some characters that appeared in the first game, they were just shells of their former selves.
    That led to a depressing and uninspired turn of events, where the decisions taken by those characters were outright stupid and unrealistic, leading me to feel as the characters were forced to act that way to advance the story.

    While playing, I haven't felt a connection to Ellie or Abby, especially the ending.
    Why kill all those people just to get to Abby if you're not going to kill her?
    You already turned yourself into a murderer, just finish it.

    Gameplay-wise it was good, but it wasn't that ground breaking experience that I expected from a famous studio such Naughty Dog.
    Throughout the game there were many occasions where I've faced animation bugs and gameplay bugs.

    Graphics are great, one of the best that I saw on the PS4, but following the gameplay I've seen objects blinking in and out of existence, some texture bugs as well.

    Overall it was a disappointing ending to a game that needed no sequel.

    I meant to give this game a 7, but due to the massive changes on the promotional material to purposely mislead the public I'll give it a 6.

    Being further disappointed by the way that prominent figures in the medium handles criticism, and I am not talking about the aggressive and offensive comments and/or reviews.

    Where both sides dismiss any type of point of view that differs from their own, saying that they are bigoted, stupid, propaganda or saying that the critic lacks “insert anything to further prove their point of view”.

    As Well as the passive aggressive humor, comments, actions and hypocrisy commonly shared by both sides of the argument.

    I feel pushed to stand in a middle ground and give this 'GAME' a 5.

    That's it.    … 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.
