    This game is really good. It deserves a 9/10 but I’m putting a 10 to combat the **** review bombing from people who don’t even own a ps4 let alone the game.

    I have to say that this game hasms a plan and a goal to make me feel **** I can't complain because I enjoy game with a great story and that makes me feel things even when I don't want to feel them I am very much conflicted about how the story played out I loved almost every single moment with Joel and Ellie but I just could not care I honestly couldn't care about the other characters II have to say that this game hasms a plan and a goal to make me feel **** I can't complain because I enjoy game with a great story and that makes me feel things even when I don't want to feel them I am very much conflicted about how the story played out I loved almost every single moment with Joel and Ellie but I just could not care I honestly couldn't care about the other characters I wanted to and I feel like they really wanted me to as well I'm not complaining about the story because I didn't get a happy ending and I know joel had to die but the sex scene seemed really out of place I can feel exactly what they were going for they just didn't quite hit the mark I can't think of another word besides conflicted besides disappointed I was hoping for something else good news is they made a lot of money I hope they try again… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. literally changing character models in trailer just to sell their game and make us buy it and they just lied to us and didnt make it another masterpiece after 7 tears to be a story between joel and ellie and literally kill our most beloved character in 1 hour only into the game like what r u doing naughty but they just ruin the main reason we bought this game in 1 h like iam not against the idea of him dying (of course idont want that) but to be killed that way and being out of character bec joel in part 1 would never walk into an obvious trap like that it is just pathetic and at the ending they dont even give us the satisfaction of killing abby like why do they think just bec we played as her for 10 h and make us hirt ellie as her so that we hate ourselves for that r u insane or something like u think that will make us like her guess what we despise her we hate her no matter what how many good things she did because killing probably the most beloved character in gaming history and if u r gonna say that he did bad things yh buyt he did the right choice no father will let his daughter die again and what abby did is muuuuuch worse than what joel did she killed so many good and undeserving people and she gets away with it!!!!! LIKE ARE U SERIOUS!!!! like this is just pathetic its like they were trying to kill their own game with their own hands and they had a chance to fix this mess in the farm scene when u return to the moment joel was being tortured they could hv made everything like a dream but no they just had to ruin the incredible franchise and if they do a part 3 with no joel in it no 1 will buy it bec this game cant be called the last of us with no joel in it , part 2 should hv been about the last 4 years after the hospital scene only and see how ellie and joel relationship develop and ellie slowly starts to discover the truth and end it with that scene when she told joel we r done and walks away now that would be a great cliffhanger for part 3 and make part 3 about this revenge or whatever u were trying to do and dont kill joel this way make him die protecting ellie like literally when he fell on that iron pipe in the last of us 1 that would hv been a better death than this so this shows how bad this death is for such a big and lovable character to all fans… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok so I'll start off with the good things it's beautiful , a very clean looking game, little games with the guitar and the snowball fights were fun, but I thk the best thing about this game was the flashbacks and if could guess why it's bc Joel and Ellie were together they had the bond with each other that's what I thk is the best part of it all. Now 2 the bad things Joel's death and I would have been ok with him dying but not like that they could have made a build up let u play as Ellie and Abby through the game without Joel dying but then at the end Abby kills Joel and then u hate Abby even after playing as her but u still had time with Joel before he died . But they kill joel like 2 hrs in and they make u play as Abby 4 10-12 hrs, yeah great move on them. They don't give anything new except 4 going prone. Everything bad happens 2 Ellie but Abby has everything compared 2 Ellie. Abby even gets better guns. And they try 2 make u sympathize 4 her and make u like her when her and her whole crew are boring af. Ellie lost everything by the end and u don't even get a choice 2 kill Abby. They put an unnecessary sex scene, and they r somehow aloud 2 put **** on the game when no other game can have a butt cheek out. The game is poorly paced and is so repetitive and boring. If I remember correctly I thk only 1 chick died and it was the pregnant 1, and she goes on missions with u with a baby, she's climbing things with a baby how dumb is that. Their is nothing 2 keep u motivated besides killing Abby in the end but u don't get 2 so yeah. The whole reason why You 1 was so good was bc of Why couldn't they at least gave us a choice, but now their gonna milk the series and im not getting the last of us or 3. This games story is predictable, poorly written and not believable in the slightest. U can hate me all u want but I don't give **** what u thk it's my opinion and 80% of everyone elses. Easy 4/10… Expand

    This might be my most disappointing time in my short gaming histroy. I was so excited for this game just to buy it and see all the main characters be destroyed. the writing is some of the worst in Naughty dogs history. I won't be buying part 3 if it even gets made.

    Rather good game despite all that hate-kids attack. Far more interesting than Tomb Raider reinstallments. The story is excellent. Makes you sympathize to both sides. Characters are also well made. Dialogs may be boring in early game, but then everything's fine. Main questions are only to game physics, AI particularry. Still, all the way better than Tomb Raider reboot. Definitely best gameRather good game despite all that hate-kids attack. Far more interesting than Tomb Raider reinstallments.

    It's a shame the game was reviewbombed before people even played it, but it's really great, a worthy second part for one of the best videogame stories. Naughty Dog is still the best in one on one character interactions and it shows again here.

    Story -all /5

    I won't say anything.
    The story blocks all the other advantages
    The game that the creators themselves wanted to become like a movie
    But there is no probability
    There is no character
    There will be no users trying to play this.
    No matter what the issue, there will never be a good game.

I can see why so many people hate it but if you played it until the end and with an open mind, you will enjoy the game. You will understand the motivation of Abby and if you put yourself in her shoes, you will feel the same.


    In this world, there are no villains or heroes, but only survivors. If there is a plan for a part 3, which it surely did, I will definitely buy it. This is the sequel that we need, not what we want    … Expand

    I don't care about the SJW sh**, the graphics, game mechanics are all amazing but this story completely sucks in this one. Unlike TLOS this game is more about revenge and hate but the ending does no justice for that. The characters are all unlikeable and the narration falls flat on this one.

    Game mechanics got a deluxe upgrade from the first game while keeping the same uncomfortable and brutal feel throughout. It's never felt so good to shoot or hack and slash. The game challenges you, rewards you, nurtures you and tears you a part. The open word-esque map layouts were killer and extremely immersive. So many creative mechanics and cannot reccomend more. details are available to the players delight.    … Expand

    The writing genuinely and truly outdid itself. Exceeded all expectations. I honestly can't even wait for the next game, where you get to play as Neil emptying a 12 gauge into Ellie's head for 30 hours along with intermittent sex breaks with Abby on top of Joel's grave

    Narrazione incredibile, forte, come se mi avessero dato un pugno nello stomaco.
    L'unica pecca, devo ammetterlo, un finale um pò troppo sconclusionato solo per lasciare spazio alla parte 3.

    really bad, too bad
    So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
    The reason is: character development. If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE    really bad, too bad

    I mean she KILLED Joel!
    How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
    Hell no!
    That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

    Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning.    … Expand

    Ok, here we go.
    I loved this game. I know it is controversial, but it truly was amazing.
    The combat in the game is so well done. The enemies have names, friends that call out, dogs that stay at their corpse until you come near, it’s unlike any other. Every shot counts, and the accessibility options are perfect in every way. Now here comes the plot. The plot and story is well executed.    Ok, here we go.

    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]
