    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here’s the thing. Everyone’s complaining about the game and the story, and I can sorta understand why. But the last of us 2 has a story. I rather liked it. It just doesn’t care if you like how the story goes, and that’s where a lot of people’s issue lies. It isn’t meant to be a happy story, it isn’t meant to be a “all nicely tied up/satisfying” story. And that’s ok. Not all story’s are happy, not all endings are. Games are stories. They tell the story they want to, regardless of wether or not it’s the story YOU wanted it to be. I think this game emphasizes that pretty well. And it doesn’t take away from the game being great. It’s a fun game, with a lot of memorable moments. People just don’t like that it isn’t the story THEY wanted. That’s all.… Expand

Like most people who loved the original, I had a moment of almost throwing my controller across the room and quitting after a specific playable character switch. Here's the thing, I'm glad I didn't. The game felt more immersive and emotional when I passed the halfway point. It's worth the FULL playthrough and has tremendous replay value.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don’t listen to the negativity about the game. This is probably one of the best games I’ve played since red dead redemption 2. This game is a masterpiece, the graphics, and gameplay is very smooth. The tension when you have zombies in the same room as you is frightening. The story has many turns and you to play the game more, I loved this game, and I’ve accepted that Abby isn’t a bad person, Joel made mistakes, and it was his fault he died.… Expand

    The beauty of this game is obvious to anyone with eyes. Game play is strong and immersive and open enough for me to build my own experience in this world.

Game play is strong and immersive and open enough for me to build my own experience in this world. But when you begin to relate to the characters and their shared experiences it made me think how I would react to these dilemmas. Sure, you're going to blast your way past a bunch of monsters, but does everyone have to die? Sometimes the best option is to escape. Unless, of course, you're in it for the sweet loots.

    Thematically, the game challenged me as a user to see each dilemma through each character. Why do Joel, Ellie, Abby, Dina, Jesse, Tommy, Yara, Lev, do what they do? Ultimately survival is key, but like I mentioned before: does everyone have to die? And what does one have to lose before they understand that some things need to be forgiven?    … Expand

Al principio odias al antagonista, sin embargo, al avanzar, entiendes sus motivaciones. Son las mismas que tuvo Joel en la primer aventura; Tus acciones tienen consecuencias. Las mecánicas, los nuevos enemigos, las armas, la historia, todos son muy buenos. La parte donde luchas contra Tommy me encantó. Ojalá hagan un DLC jugando con el.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story:
    The game was absolutely beautiful. Meaning behind everything, loved the story. I was mad and sad because Joel died, but I think the story could not have been told the other way... It was an awesome tragic story and you can clearly see moral... I can literally talk about this game for hours... It only had one flaw and I'll mention that later.
    Gameplay: Lots of things were improved from it's predecessor. You can mostly decide what to do. You can fight with weapons or be sneaky. Everything is up to you. But there are consequences... The loot is good too. Not too short, not too generous.
    Graphics: Astonishing! If I did not know what platform the game was on, I'd probably think it was PS5. Ray Tracing would be so awesome in this game.
    Attention to details: The characters are alive, they aren't some stupid NPCs. Water, bullets, destruction... Awesome.
    I'm giving this game 9, not 10 because the only thing that I did not like was Joel trusting the unknown crew. He was known to be brutal in the first game and he never trusted anyone. That lack of trust saved him as well. There might be a meaning behind this as well, but Joel should not have become that person who trusts people that easily...    … Expand

    A near perfect game with a flawed pacing, but a good story overall. A true emotional rollercoaster and undoubtedly undeserving of all the flak it's getting!

    I thought it was a good game. I don't understand why people are so furious about it. So what that you have to switch between characters. I think playing it from Abbys point of view was interesting. You get to see why she did what she did and why. I can't wait to see what Naughty Dog do in part 3.

    Great combat, **** presentation, gripping story. Only thing I don’t like about it is the last chunk. I felt like the game went on a whimper. Excellent experience otherwise. 100% worth playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jogo com uma trama bem desenvolvida a não pelo começo, com a morte do Joel, mas a história em si e muito bem feita, cujos personagem de Ellie e Abby são antagonista ou protagonistas de suas próprias histórias, e não podia ter onde se anulassem, seja com um perdão o com a morte de ambas, mas nada disse seria pior do que aconteceu em suas vidas onde o vencedor na verdade não ganharia nada. Já em termos técnico foi perfeitamente executado e os planos onde a trama se desenvolve através das cutscene proporam emoções junto com os diálogos de cada personagem de forma coerente, mostrando a personalidade de cada personagem nós fazendo apegar com cada. Parabéns nauthy dog.… Expand

    Ok, I know a lot of people talked about how AWFUL the story is, but I liked it??? It’s not a “political” game, and the only problem I really had with it was the pacing, which felt kinda clunky and was a little too long. Gameplay and visuals are amazing, a really fun experience.

I was indifferent about playing as the person that killed Joel, but as you go through the story and learn about Abby's background, you can't help but empathise with her and come to like her.

    My only gripe, and why I gave it one less than perfect, is a positive for most people; as a casual gamer, the length of the game was on the long side for me.    … Expand

It plays smooth, it's beautiful visually and the amount of small details and nuances is on the level no other game reached. Allthough the way game switches it's protagonists is really sudden and not much immersive, eventually it makes story deeper, the characters even more human and it shows how sick and purposeless spiral of death Joel started at the end of part one is.… Expand

    Uma experiência de como realmente é o mundo pós apocalíptico, embora tenha assuntos polêmicos de longe não ofusca o potencial desse jogo, ainda mais quando se trata de uma continuação. A realidade e imersão aderidas nesse game , são absurdas.

The whole time I was playing I wasn’t sure whether to like it or hate it, and I feel like that’s the point. In life, not everyone gets a proper moment, sometimes it’s cut short or just bland, and so we have to decide whether to understand that or to just deny that. This game is trying to be as realistic as possible. So how realistic are these moments in the game? I don’t think it’s perfect, but give it a chance and try to understand both sides.… Expand

    It's a wonderful game every ps4 player should play. Yes it's controversial but it shouldn't be criticized just for that. The game its a continuation to Ellie's story and it's fine. It's a shame people don't appreciate the game and just give a bad rating.

    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]
