    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Agenda pushing aside, it is truly hurtful the way they treated the characters we grew to love. The only memorable parts of the game were the flashbacks with Joel. They executed those scenes beautifully. It is a horrible story that is standing on the foundation of its predecessor, believing that it has the strength to stand on its own two feet. I mean how can you kill hundreds of people just to let the killer of your best friend go????? Why did she suddenly grow a conscious? Especially for the person who has caused you so much pain? You killed hundreds already? Smh it doesn’t make sense. Teach Drunkman a lesson, don’t buy this game. It truly is a slap in the face, and contains too much symbolism as to how they see the fate of America with their agenda pushing. I left tv to escape this crap, now it’s infiltrated video games.… Expand

    Story is absolutely atrocious. Graphics, gameplay, and mechanics are excellent. But story to me plays such a major role in this series and the wroters completely dropped the ball there.

I can agree that there was too much playing as Abby because that was annoying but hating the game because Joel died or other people hate it? that's not fair and not good… Expand

Lamentable , cansado, mala narrativa,falta de tensión para atrapar al jugador, muerte innecesaria,muerte correcta pero nada estructurada ( la de Joe) ,flashback sin saltar, aburre,y Abby nos obligan a quererla sin motivos de inicio a fin la odie y yo sí la hubiera matado para darle peso a la trama pero , lo que empezó mal acabo peor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS AHEAD. In a nutshell: within the first few hours our hero Joel gets bludgeoned to death, by what appears to be a transgender girl/guy? While our Heroine Ellie is forced to watch without being able to save him. That killed the game for me, PERIOD! The Creators of this game Fooled us into thinking this was going to be a continuation of Joel and Ellie's adventure by using false media hype. Then to add insult to injury, the game halfway through Forces you to play as the transgender girl/guy that killed Joel and is now trying to kill Ellie. What?! No? Yes! that's the story arc. At this point I stopped playing. Tried to get a refund but PSN won't refund if the game was started. So now I'm not only heartbroken but angry as well. The Graphics are just Beautiful. the Art team did a great job. But it's unfortunate that the the writers Destroyed the the game for the fans. I accuse the developer of Fraud here. Oh How could they Have made such a masterpiece as The Last of Us 1. then turned around and produced such banal trash as The Last of Us 2. Trust me; If I had known this is what the game was going to be like, I would have Never purchased it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a truly disapointing experience and a gargantuan pile of garbage. This game claims to be against violence, yet nothing until the very final moment of the game even remotely supports this. Surprisingly enough, I did not mind the brutal carnage at all. The only positive thing about this game is that, unlike the first Last of Us, this game provides a believable context for the dark imagery, callous violence, and pessimistic viewpoint of the main character and supporting cast. The violence is justified in the eyes of the main character and you really feel the rage and empathize with the protagonist. I have never before in my life been invested in a revenge tale. This was the very first time I truly felt a burning desire for everyone who wrongs the protagonist to die in the most barbarous fashion possible. This desire is potentiated and made possible by everyone who wrongs the main character to themselves be nothing to admire or empathize with. The supporting cast of "antagonists" are just as flawed, thirsting for violence, and lacking in higher moral ambition the way the main character, Ellie, is. This makes slaughtering them not only feel good, but it is also very organic and contextualized properly within the game. This game was an absolute masterpiece in every way shape and form until the final moments of the game, which was so ludicrously awful, and such a let down that I wanted to call Naughty Dog myself and complain. In one split second in the end, the masterful gameplay, the dazzling visuals, the perfect survival horror and tense combat elements, wonderful dark cinematography, bone-crushing sound, and near-perfect production values, were all negated by the biggest buzz-killer and disappointment of an ending I have ever experienced in a game or in any type of medium in my entire life. Ellie sparing Abby is not only disappointing, but totally out of context. She sacrificed everything, killing hundreds of people, leaving behind the only person who loves her(Dina), leaving their home and new child, and having nothing left to live for except her final push for revenge. Then, she chooses to spare her?! Nothing in the games message, its own personal lust for revenge, or any context provided by it or Ellie could possibly support this act. By the time the sparing of Abby happens she already is past the point of no return and must see it through for all that she has lost in the game to be worth it. Ellie is not some saint to be redeemed at the time of that final moment. She's already killed hundreds of people, denied herself a future through the compassion of the woman she loves and who can provide her some semblance of grounding in reality and happiness, torn across state lines in a self-destructive path for revenge, and made it very clear to herself that she will as she puts it "Kill every last one of them." As I said before I never thought I would be this invested in Ellie and Joel's revenge but I was. I'm always against violence and brutality and believe in the power of forgiveness and moving on. However, due to no ones fault but Naughty Dog, the revenge and violence was so believable and in context and I never thought I would hear myself say that I savagely enjoyed every slaying of the "antagonist cast" in all of its brutal and revenge-infused violence. This is in part due to the fact that the antagonist cast is not very strong on moral high-ground either. They are just as deserving to die and repent for their selfish engagement in warring with other factions than Ellie is. I wanted Abby to die with all my heart I was literally mashing the square button in a desperate attempt to kill her by drowning, yet when I almost drowned her, the game forcefully robs you of making your entire journey through the game worth it for you the player and worth it for Ellie ,who on top of losing everything loses 2 fingers and cant even play Joel's guitar anymore. She is left with nothing and killing Abby was the make or break point for this game. This game could have been one of the very best games ever made if naughty dog did not upend the entire worth of the game with that sham of an ending and final moments of the game. Way to go naughty dog for breaking my freaking heart and robbing me of an experience I invested 60$ and 30 hours of my time into. This could have been one of the greatest games of this console generation or possibly of all time. Way to go Naughty dog, you should be ashamed of yourself. Did you forget your loyal gamers whom you have a responsibility to? you must have. Yes go and collect your blood money from the numerous sales. The blood on that money is as bloody as the blood in the game. Ive chosen to forego complaining about the propoganda and social agenda aspects towards the LGBTQIA elements of the game for the more important elements that I have discussed above. Naughty dog should be ashamed of themselves for turning the greatest game of this console into its worst.… Expand

    I just finished this game and really enjoyed it. I loved the original last of us and this contains more of everything except multiplayer (which is too bad). I've heard that there might be a standalone multiplayer in the future though. The story is really dark so it's probably only suitable for mature players.

I enjoyed playing as Abby, and I think that playing as her gave us a chance to look into her complex, inner personal life as well. I also think that Joel dying the way he did was a good choice, and I think it spoke to the way that characters in these games, many times white and male, are able to commit horrible acts and still get out of it unscathed. I liked the ending and thought that it was really the only way that the story could end, given what the overall trajectory of the plot had been. We needed to play as Ellie, in a context where it was just get and Abby and she had the upper hand, so that she could forgive Abby and grow from it. We were never given that context before, so it was really the only way that it could end. Also, the fact that Ellie ended up alone, with the one thing that Joel left him, which was being able to play the guitar, gone that again re-enforces the theme here that you can get revenge, but at the end the consequences of your actions will follow. The same can be said with Abby, as she literally lost her home, her friends, and the love of her life, all brought up because of her need for revenge. The game is devastating and cruel and left me feeling sad for days after I finished it, but it makes sense. Life is apathetic towards us, and our actions will bite us in the ass, no matter who we are. Ellie didn't get the end that we wanted for her, but she got the end that she deserved, and I think that is something to be appreciated.… Expand

    People complains about "review bombing" but then a lot try to review build puting a 10/10... and it isnt
    Start from the beginnig: is a sequel and is story driven. Yes, you could like gameplay in TLOU but the main punch was in the story. Some can rate the game cause its "meh" gameplay or beautiful graphics, but if the story doesnt punch over... it lost over the first deliver.

    Here you dont have a choise, the story and the storytelling devolved from the first game. The game felt, at least for me, stretched at least ten hours trying to get us into some bad developed characters so we lost 40% of our time, a shame.
    Then: is a 0 game? No. Is a 10/10 game? Neither. A 3.7? That would be a BAD game, and it isnt for me. Being a 7 a nice game, it have a little more than a nice game, but if it was a good sequel to the first game probably would deserve a 9 or 10    … Expand

    But what game lacks here is a proper story that matches the level of it's predecessor,
    i'm fine with that "character's death" and game was going okay till the second half of it,
    game really did not sell me the story of other characters, their relation with others is so shallow and full of cliches .. and did not make the effort to made the proper impact on me and make me sympathize with this character , i've seen some anime and films selling me the same story idea in a better way.

    for me .. game feels like separate individual parts that has been glued together ,
    if the game has been made into a different order it might have been looked better.

    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.
